2021-01-02Update copyright dates not handled by scripts/update-copyrights.Paul Eggert
I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2021. This is the patch for the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent build / regeneration of generated files. As well as the usual annual updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus csu/version.c which previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated by update-copyrights), there is a small change to the copyright notice in NEWS which should let NEWS get updated automatically next year. Please remember to include 2021 in the dates for any new files added in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).
2021-01-02Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrightsPaul Eggert
I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this diagnostic from Savannah: remote: *** pre-commit check failed ... remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master

Similar to the fix 69fda43b8d, save and restore errno for the hook functions used for MALLOC_CHECK_=3. It fixes the malloc/tst-free-errno-mcheck regression. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
2020-12-29free: preserve errno [BZ#17924]Paul Eggert
In the next release of POSIX, free must preserve errno <https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=385>. Modify __libc_free to save and restore errno, so that any internal munmap etc. syscalls do not disturb the caller's errno.

2020-12-24MTE: Do not pad size in realloc_checkSiddhesh Poyarekar
The MTE patch to add malloc support incorrectly padded the size passed to _int_realloc by SIZE_SZ when it ought to have sent just the chunksize. Revert that bit of the change so that realloc works correctly with MALLOC_CHECK_ set. This also brings the realloc_check implementation back in sync with libc_realloc.
2020-12-24tests-mcheck: New variable to run tests with MALLOC_CHECK_=3Siddhesh Poyarekar
This new variable allows various subsystems in glibc to run all or some of their tests with MALLOC_CHECK_=3. This patch adds infrastructure support for this variable as well as an implementation in malloc/Makefile to allow running some of the tests with MALLOC_CHECK_=3. At present some tests in malloc/ have been excluded from the mcheck tests either because they're specifically testing MALLOC_CHECK_ or they are failing in master even without the Memory Tagging patches that prompted this work. Some tests were reviewed and found to need specific error points that MALLOC_CHECK_ defeats by terminating early but a thorough review of all tests is needed to bring them into mcheck coverage. The following failures are seen in current master: FAIL: malloc/tst-malloc-fork-deadlock-mcheck FAIL: malloc/tst-malloc-stats-cancellation-mcheck FAIL: malloc/tst-malloc-thread-fail-mcheck FAIL: malloc/tst-realloc-mcheck FAIL: malloc/tst-reallocarray-mcheck All of these are due to the Memory Tagging patchset and will be fixed separately.
2020-12-21malloc: Basic support for memory tagging in the malloc() familyRichard Earnshaw
This patch adds the basic support for memory tagging. Various flavours are supported, particularly being able to turn on tagged memory at run-time: this allows the same code to be used on systems where memory tagging support is not present without neededing a separate build of glibc. Also, depending on whether the kernel supports it, the code will use mmap for the default arena if morecore does not, or cannot support tagged memory (on AArch64 it is not available). All the hooks use function pointers to allow this to work without needing ifuncs. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
2020-12-16malloc: Use __libc_initial to detect an inner libcFlorian Weimer
The secondary/non-primary/inner libc (loaded via dlmopen, LD_AUDIT, static dlopen) must not use sbrk to allocate member because that would interfere with allocations in the outer libc. On Linux, this does not matter because sbrk itself was changed to fail in secondary libcs. _dl_addr occasionally shows up in profiles, but had to be used before because __libc_multiple_libs was unreliable. So this change achieves a slight reduction in startup time. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

2020-12-04nss: Introduce <nss_module.h>Florian Weimer
This provides the struct nss_module type, which combines the old struct service_library type with the known_function tree, by statically allocating space for all function pointers. struct nss_module is fairly large (536 bytes), but it will be shared across NSS databases. The old known_function handling had non-some per-function overhead (at least 32 bytes per looked-up function, but more for long function anmes), so overall, this is not too bad. Resolving all functions at load time simplifies locking, and the repeated lookups should be fast because the caches are hot at this point. Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>

The per-thread state is refactored two use two strategies: 1. The default one uses a TLS structure, which will be placed in the static TLS space (using __thread keyword). 2. Linux allocates via struct pthread and access it through THREAD_* macros. The default strategy has the disadvantage of increasing libc.so static TLS consumption and thus decreasing the possible surplus used in some scenarios (which might be mitigated by BZ#25051 fix). It is used only on Hurd, where accessing the thread storage in the in single thread case is not straightforward (afaiu, Hurd developers could correct me here). The fallback static allocation used for allocation failure is also removed: defining its size is problematic without synchronizing with translated messages (to avoid partial translation) and the resulting usage is not thread-safe.

2020-03-29Add Safe-Linking to fastbins and tcacheEyal Itkin
Safe-Linking is a security mechanism that protects single-linked lists (such as the fastbin and tcache) from being tampered by attackers. The mechanism makes use of randomness from ASLR (mmap_base), and when combined with chunk alignment integrity checks, it protects the "next" pointers from being hijacked by an attacker. While Safe-Unlinking protects double-linked lists (such as the small bins), there wasn't any similar protection for attacks against single-linked lists. This solution protects against 3 common attacks: * Partial pointer override: modifies the lower bytes (Little Endian) * Full pointer override: hijacks the pointer to an attacker's location * Unaligned chunks: pointing the list to an unaligned address The design assumes an attacker doesn't know where the heap is located, and uses the ASLR randomness to "sign" the single-linked pointers. We mark the pointer as P and the location in which it is stored as L, and the calculation will be: * PROTECT(P) := (L >> PAGE_SHIFT) XOR (P) * *L = PROTECT(P) This way, the random bits from the address L (which start at the bit in the PAGE_SHIFT position), will be merged with LSB of the stored protected pointer. This protection layer prevents an attacker from modifying the pointer into a controlled value. An additional check that the chunks are MALLOC_ALIGNed adds an important layer: * Attackers can't point to illegal (unaligned) memory addresses * Attackers must guess correctly the alignment bits On standard 32 bit Linux machines, an attack will directly fail 7 out of 8 times, and on 64 bit machines it will fail 15 out of 16 times. This proposed patch was benchmarked and it's effect on the overall performance of the heap was negligible and couldn't be distinguished from the default variance between tests on the vanilla version. A similar protection was added to Chromium's version of TCMalloc in 2012, and according to their documentation it had an overhead of less than 2%.

Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for static). It is read-only even with partial relro. It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than malloc interposition is called. Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as indicated by BZ#20802.

2019-04-18malloc: make malloc fail with requests larger than PTRDIFF_MAX (BZ#23741)Adhemerval Zanella
As discussed previously on libc-alpha [1], this patch follows up the idea and add both the __attribute_alloc_size__ on malloc functions (malloc, calloc, realloc, reallocarray, valloc, pvalloc, and memalign) and limit maximum requested allocation size to up PTRDIFF_MAX (taking into consideration internal padding and alignment). This aligns glibc with gcc expected size defined by default warning -Walloc-size-larger-than value which warns for allocation larger than PTRDIFF_MAX. It also aligns with gcc expectation regarding libc and expected size, such as described in PR#67999 [2] and previously discussed ISO C11 issues [3] on libc-alpha. From the RFC thread [4] and previous discussion, it seems that consensus is only to limit such requested size for malloc functions, not the system allocation one (mmap, sbrk, etc.). The implementation changes checked_request2size to check for both overflow and maximum object size up to PTRDIFF_MAX. No additional checks are done on sysmalloc, so it can still issue mmap with values larger than PTRDIFF_T depending on the requested size. The __attribute_alloc_size__ is for functions that return a pointer only, which means it cannot be applied to posix_memalign (see remarks in GCC PR#87683 [5]). The runtimes checks to limit maximum requested allocation size does applies to posix_memalign. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
