2021-02-25Reduce the statically linked startup code [BZ #23323]Florian Weimer
It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR"). These functions are not needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY are already processed by the dynamic linker. However, the dynamic linker skipped the main program for some reason. For maximum backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument is a NULL pointer. For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker symbols is still used because there is nothing else available. A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.
2021-01-28powerpc64: Workaround sigtramp vdso return callRaoni Fassina Firmino
A not so recent kernel change[1] changed how the trampoline `__kernel_sigtramp_rt64` is used to call signal handlers. This was exposed on the test misc/tst-sigcontext-get_pc Before kernel 5.9, the kernel set LR to the trampoline address and jumped directly to the signal handler, and at the end the signal handler, as any other function, would `blr` to the address set. In other words, the trampoline was executed just at the end of the signal handler and the only thing it did was call sigreturn. But since kernel 5.9 the kernel set CTRL to the signal handler and calls to the trampoline code, the trampoline then `bctrl` to the address in CTRL, setting the LR to the next instruction in the middle of the trampoline, when the signal handler returns, the rest of the trampoline code executes the same code as before. Here is the full trampoline code as of kernel 5.11.0-rc5 for reference: V_FUNCTION_BEGIN(__kernel_sigtramp_rt64) .Lsigrt_start: bctrl /* call the handler */ addi r1, r1, __SIGNAL_FRAMESIZE li r0,__NR_rt_sigreturn sc .Lsigrt_end: V_FUNCTION_END(__kernel_sigtramp_rt64) This new behavior breaks how `backtrace()` uses to detect the trampoline frame to correctly reconstruct the stack frame when it is called from inside a signal handling. This workaround rely on the fact that the trampoline code is at very least two (maybe 3?) instructions in size (as it is in the 32 bits version, only on `li` and `sc`), so it is safe to check the return address be in the range __kernel_sigtramp_rt64 .. + 4.

2020-12-30powerpc: Runtime selection between sc and scv for syscallsMatheus Castanho
Linux kernel v5.9 added support for system calls using the scv instruction for POWER9 and later. The new codepath provides better performance (see below) if compared to using sc. For the foreseeable future, both sc and scv mechanisms will co-exist, so this patch enables glibc to do a runtime check and use scv when it is available. Before issuing the system call to the kernel, we check hwcap2 in the TCB for PPC_FEATURE2_SCV to see if scv is supported by the kernel. If not, we fallback to sc and keep the old behavior. The kernel implements a different error return convention for scv, so when returning from a system call we need to handle the return value differently depending on the instruction we used to enter the kernel. For syscalls implemented in ASM, entry and exit are implemented by different macros (PSEUDO and PSEUDO_RET, resp.), which may be used in sequence (e.g. for templated syscalls) or with other instructions in between (e.g. clone). To avoid accessing the TCB a second time on PSEUDO_RET to check which instruction we used, the value read from hwcap2 is cached on a non-volatile register. This is not needed when using INTERNAL_SYSCALL macro, since entry and exit are bundled into the same inline asm directive. The dynamic loader may issue syscalls before the TCB has been setup so it always uses sc with no extra checks. For the static case, there is no compile-time way to determine if we are inside startup code, so we also check the value of the thread pointer before effectively accessing the TCB. For such situations in which the availability of scv cannot be determined, sc is always used. Support for scv in syscalls implemented in their own ASM file (clone and vfork) will be added later. For now simply use sc as before. Average performance over 1M calls for each syscall "type": - stat: C wrapper calling INTERNAL_SYSCALL - getpid: templated ASM syscall - syscall: call to gettid using syscall function Standard: stat : 1.573445 us / ~3619 cycles getpid : 0.164986 us / ~379 cycles syscall : 0.162743 us / ~374 cycles With scv: stat : 1.537049 us / ~3535 cycles <~ -84 cycles / -2.32% getpid : 0.109923 us / ~253 cycles <~ -126 cycles / -33.25% syscall : 0.116410 us / ~268 cycles <~ -106 cycles / -28.34% Tested on powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le (with and without scv) Tested-by: Lucas A.

2020-11-30powerpc64le: ifunc select *f128 routines in multiarch modePaul E. Murphy
Programatically generate simple wrappers for interesting libm *f128 objects. Selected functions are transcendental functions or those with trivial compiler builtins. This can result in a 2-3x speedup (e.g logf128 and expf128). A second set of implementation files are generated which include the first implementation encountered along the search path. This usually works, except when a wrapper is overriden and makefile search order slightly diverges from include order. Likewise, wrapper object files are created for each generated file. These hold the ifunc selection routines which export ABI. Next, several shared headers are intercepted to control renaming of asm function redirects are used first, and sometimes macro renames if the former is impractical. Notably, if the request machine supports hardware IEEE128 (i.e POWER9 and newer) this ifunc machinery is disabled. Likewise existing ifunc support for float128 is consolidated into this (e.g sqrtf128 and fmaf128). Reviewed-by: Tulio Magno Quites Machado Filho <tuliom@linux.ibm.com>

2020-10-02aarch64: enforce >=64K guard size [BZ #26691]Szabolcs Nagy
There are several compiler implementations that allow large stack allocations to jump over the guard page at the end of the stack and corrupt memory beyond that. See CVE-2017-1000364. Compilers can emit code to probe the stack such that the guard page cannot be skipped, but on aarch64 the probe interval is 64K by default instead of the minimum supported page size (4K). This patch enforces at least 64K guard on aarch64 unless the guard is disabled by setting its size to 0. For backward compatibility reasons the increased guard is not reported, so it is only observable by exhausting the address space or parsing /proc/self/maps on linux. On other targets the patch has no effect. If the stack probe interval is larger than a page size on a target then ARCH_MIN_GUARD_SIZE can be defined to get large enough stack guard on libc allocated stacks. The patch does not affect threads with user allocated stacks. Fixes bug 26691.

2020-06-05powerpc64le: add optimized strlen for P9Paul E. Murphy
This started as a trivial change to Anton's rawmemchr. I got carried away. This is a hybrid between P8's asympotically faster 64B checks with extremely efficient small string checks e.g <64B (and sometimes a little bit more depending on alignment). The second trick is to align to 64B by running a 48B checking loop 16B at a time until we naturally align to 64B (i.e checking 48/96/144 bytes/iteration based on the alignment after the first 5 comparisons). This allieviates the need to check page boundaries. Finally, explicly use the P7 strlen with the runtime loader when building P9. We need to be cautious about vector/vsx extensions here on P9 only builds.

We turn off this feature to avoid polluting our shared libary with a specific value. However, static libgcc is not under our control, and has enabled this for ibm128 routines. This pollutes the resulting shared libraries with it. Attach a post-linking hook to replace this section with one crafted as hard-float + indeterminate ldbl. This allows IEEE ldbl users to avoid having to disable the gnu attributes feature which should protect them from linking ibm ldbl libraries using the gnu attributes feature. Currently, this only replaces libc and libm which support both ldbl formats and rely on application code to explicitly determine which is to be used.
