this allows the lock to be shared with setlocale, eliminates repeated
per-category lock/unlock in newlocale, and will allow the use of
pthread_once in newlocale to be dropped (to be done separately).

commit d26e0774a59bb7245b205bc8e7d8b35cc2037095 moved the detach state
transition at exit before the thread list lock was taken. this
inadvertently allowed pthread_join to race to take the thread list
lock first, and proceed with unmapping of the exiting thread's memory.
we could fix this by just revering the offending commit and instead
performing __vm_wait unconditionally before taking the thread list
lock, but that may be costly. instead, bring back the old DT_EXITING
vs DT_EXITED state distinction that was removed in commit
8f11e6127fe93093f81a52b15bb1537edc3fc8af, and don't transition to
DT_EXITED (a value of 0, which is what pthread_join waits for) until
after the lock has been taken.

as the outcome of Austin Group tracker issue #62, future editions of
POSIX have dropped the requirement that fork be AS-safe. this allows
but does not require implementations to synchronize fork with internal
locks and give forked children of multithreaded parents a partly or
fully unrestricted execution environment where they can continue to
use the standard library (per POSIX, they can only portably use
AS-safe functions).
up until recently, taking this allowance did not seem desirable.
however, commit 8ed2bd8bfcb4ea6448afb55a941f4b5b2b0398c0 exposed the
extent to which applications and libraries are depending on the
ability to use malloc and other non-AS-safe interfaces in MT-forked
children, by converting latent very-low-probability catastrophic state
corruption into predictable deadlock. dealing with the fallout has
been a huge burden for users/distros.
while it looks like most of the non-portable usage in applications
could be fixed given sufficient effort, at least some of it seems to
occur in language runtimes which are exposing the ability to run
unrestricted code in the child as part of the contract with the
programmer. any attempt at fixing such contracts is not just a
technical problem but a social one, and is probably not tractable.
this patch extends the fork function to take locks for all libc
singletons in the parent, and release or reset those locks in the
child, so that when the underlying fork operation takes place, the
state protected by these locks is consistent and ready for the child
to use. locking is skipped in the case where the parent is
single-threaded so as not to interfere with legacy AS-safety property
of fork in single-threaded programs. lock order is mostly arbitrary,
but the malloc locks (including bump allocator in case it's used) must
be taken after the locks on any subsystems that might use malloc, and
non-AS-safe locks cannot be taken while the thread list lock is held,
imposing a requirement that it be taken last.

also fix the lack of declaration (and thus hidden visibility) in
__stdio_close's use of __aio_close.
|
|
commit 3990c5c6a40440cdb14746ac080d0ecf8d5d6733 removed the last
reference.
|
|
the dummy definition of __abort_lock in sigaction.c was performing
exactly the same role that putting the lock in its own source file
could and should have been used to achieve.
while we're moving it, give it a proper declaration.
|
|
previously, if a file descriptor had aio operations pending in the
parent before fork, attempting to close it in the child would attempt
to cancel a thread belonging to the parent. this could deadlock, fail,
or crash the whole process of the cancellation signal handler was not
yet installed in the parent. in addition, further use of aio from the
child could malfunction or deadlock.
POSIX specifies that async io operations are not inherited by the
child on fork, so clear the entire aio fd map in the child, and take
the aio map lock (with signals blocked) across the fork so that the
lock is kept in a consistent state.

dtv_copy, canary2, and canary_at_end existed solely to match multiple
ABI and asm-accessed layouts simultaneously. now that pthread_arch.h
can be included before struct __pthread is defined, the struct layout
can depend on macros defined by pthread_arch.h.
|
|
the adjustment made is entirely a function of TLS_ABOVE_TP and
TP_OFFSET. aside from avoiding repetition of the TP_OFFSET value and
arithmetic, this change makes pthread_arch.h independent of the
definition of struct __pthread from pthread_impl.h. this in turn will
allow inclusion of pthread_arch.h to be moved to the top of
pthread_impl.h so that it can influence the definition of the
structure.
previously, arch files were very inconsistent about the type used for
the thread pointer. this change unifies the new __get_tp interface to
always use uintptr_t, which is the most correct when performing
arithmetic that may involve addresses outside the actual pointed-to
object (due to TP_OFFSET).
|
|
the only part of TP_ADJ that was not uniquely determined by
TLS_ABOVE_TP was the 0x7000 adjustment used mainly on mips and powerpc
variants.
|
|
the framework to do this always existed but it was deemed unnecessary
because the only [ex-]standard functions using h_errno were not
thread-safe anyway. however, some of the nonstandard res_* functions
are also supposed to set h_errno to indicate the cause of error, and
were unable to do so because it was not thread-safe. this change is a
prerequisite for fixing them.

a number of users performing seccomp filtering have requested use of
the new individual syscall numbers for socket syscalls, rather than
the legacy multiplexed socketcall, since the latter has the arguments
all in memory where they can't participate in filter decisions.
previously, some archs used the multiplexed socketcall if it was
historically all that was available, while other archs used the
separate syscalls. the intent was that the latter set only include
archs that have "always" had separate socket syscalls, at least going
back to linux 2.6.0. however, at least powerpc, powerpc64, and sh were
wrongly included in this set, and thus socket operations completely
failed on old kernels for these archs.
with the changes made here, the separate syscalls are always
preferred, but fallback code is compiled for archs that also define
SYS_socketcall. two such archs, mips (plain o32) and microblaze,
define SYS_socketcall despite never having needed it, so it's now
undefined by their versions of syscall_arch.h to prevent inclusion of
useless fallback code.
some archs, where the separate syscalls were only added after the
addition of SYS_accept4, lack SYS_accept. because socket calls are
always made with zeros in the unused argument positions, it suffices
to just use SYS_accept4 to provide a definition of SYS_accept, and
this is done to make happy the macro machinery that concatenates the
socket call name onto __SC_ and SYS_.

for targets where long double is different from double.

this broke mallocng size_to_class on archs without a native
implementation of a_clz_32. the incorrect logic seems to have been
something i derived from a related but distinct log2-type operation.
with the change made here, it passes an exhaustive test.
as this function is new and presently only used by mallocng, no other
functionality was affected.
|
|
some archs already have a_clz_32, used to provide a_ctz_32, but it
hasn't been mandatory because it's not used anywhere yet. mallocng
will need it, however, so add it now. it should probably be optimized
better, but doesn't seem to make a difference at present.
|
|
this is in preparation for improving behavior of malloc interposition.
|
|
a new weak predicate function replacable by the malloc implementation,
__malloc_allzerop, is introduced. by default it's always false; the
default version will be used when static linking if the bump allocator
was used (in which case performance doesn't matter) or if malloc was
replaced by the application. only if the real internal malloc is
linked (always the case with dynamic linking) does the real version
get used.
if malloc was replaced dynamically, as indicated by __malloc_replaced,
the predicate function is ignored and conditional-memset is always
performed.
|
|
this reflects that it is no longer intended for consumption outside of
the malloc implementation.
|
|
this eliminates consumers of malloc_impl.h outside of the malloc
implementation.
|
|
the design used here relies on the barrier provided by the first lock
operation after the process returns to single-threaded state to
synchronize with actions by the last thread that exited. by storing
the intent to change modes in the same object used to detect whether
locking is needed, it's possible to avoid an extra (possibly costly)
memory load after the lock is taken.
|
|
these are all flags that can be single-byte values.
|
|
after all but the last thread exits, the next thread to observe
libc.threads_minus_1==0 and conclude that it can skip locking fails to
synchronize with any changes to memory that were made by the
last-exiting thread. this can produce data races.
on some archs, at least x86, memory synchronization is unlikely to be
a problem; however, with the inline locks in malloc, skipping the lock
also eliminated the compiler barrier, and caused code that needed to
re-check chunk in-use bits after obtaining the lock to reuse a stale
value, possibly from before the process became single-threaded. this
in turn produced corruption of the heap state.
some uses of libc.threads_minus_1 remain, especially for allocation of
new TLS in the dynamic linker; otherwise, it could be removed
entirely. it's made non-volatile to reflect that the remaining
accesses are only made under lock on the thread list.
instead of libc.threads_minus_1, libc.threaded is now used for
skipping locks. the difference is that libc.threaded is permanently
true once an additional thread has been created. this will produce
some performance regression in processes that are mostly
single-threaded but occasionally creating threads. in the future it
may be possible to bring back the full lock-skipping, but more care
needs to be taken to produce a safe design.
|
|
apparently this function was intended at some point to be used by
strto* family as well, and thus was put in its own file; however, as
far as I can tell, it's only ever been used by vsscanf. move it to the
same file to reduce the number of source files and external symbols.
|

shgetc sets up to be able to perform an "unget" operation without the
caller having to remember and pass back the character value, and for
this purpose used a conditional store idiom:
if (f->rpos[-1] != c) f->rpos[-1] = c
to make it safe to use with non-writable buffers (setup by the
sh_fromstring macro or __string_read with sscanf).
however, validity of this depends on the buffer space at rpos[-1]
being initialized, which is not the case under some conditions
(including at least unbuffered files and fmemopen ones).
whenever data was read "through the buffer", the desired character
value is already in place and does not need to be written. thus,
rather than testing for the absence of the value, we can test for
rpos<=buf, indicating that the last character read could not have come
from the buffer, and thereby that we have a "real" buffer (possibly of
zero length) with writable pushback (UNGET bytes) below it.

The final rounding operation should be done with the correct sign
otherwise huge results may incorrectly get rounded to or away from
infinity in upward or downward rounding modes.
This affected sinh and sinhf which set the sign on the result after
a potentially overflowing mul. There may be other non-nearest rounding
issues, but this was a known long standing issue with large ulp error
(depending on how ulp is defined near infinity).
The fix should have no effect on sinh and sinhf performance but may
have a tiny effect on cosh and coshf.

this extends commit 5a105f19b5aae79dd302899e634b6b18b3dcd0d6, removing
timer[fd]_settime and timer[fd]_gettime. the timerfd ones are likely
to have been used in software that started using them before it could
rely on libc exposing functions.
|
|
this extends commit 5a105f19b5aae79dd302899e634b6b18b3dcd0d6, removing
clock_settime, clock_getres, clock_nanosleep, and settimeofday.
|

some nontrivial number of applications have historically performed
direct syscalls for these operations rather than using the public
functions. such usage is invalid now that time_t is 64-bit and these
syscalls no longer match the types they are used with, and it was
already harmful before (by suppressing use of vdso).
since syscall() has no type safety, incorrect usage of these syscalls
can't be caught at compile-time. so, without manually inspecting or
running additional tools to check sources, the risk of such errors
slipping through is high.
this patch renames the syscalls on 32-bit archs to clock_gettime32 and
gettimeofday_time32, so that applications using the original names
will fail to build without being fixed.
note that there are a number of other syscalls that may also be unsafe
to use directly after the time64 switchover, but (1) these are the
main two that seem to be in widespread use, and (2) most of the others
continue to have valid usage with a null timeval/timespec argument, as
the argument is an optional timeout or similar.

this interface contract is entirely internal to dynlink.c.

the definitions of SO_TIMESTAMP* changed on 32-bit archs in commit
38143339646a4ccce8afe298c34467767c899f51 to the new versions that
provide 64-bit versions of timeval/timespec structure in control
message payload. socket options, being state attached to the socket
rather than function calls, are not trivial to implement as fallbacks
on ENOSYS, and support for them was initially omitted on the
assumption that the ioctl-based polling alternatives (SIOCGSTAMP*)
could be used instead by applications if setsockopt fails.
unfortunately, it turns out that SO_TIMESTAMP is sufficiently old and
widely supported that a number of applications assume it's available
and treat errors as fatal.
this patch introduces emulation of SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] on pre-time64
kernels by falling back to setting the "_OLD" (time32) versions of the
options if the time64 ones are not recognized, and performing
translation of the SCM_TIMESTAMP[NS] control messages in recvmsg.
since recvmsg does not know whether its caller is legacy time32 code
or time64, it performs translation for any SCM_TIMESTAMP[NS]_OLD
control messages it sees, leaving the original time32 timestamp as-is
(it can't be rewritten in-place anyway, and memmove would be mildly
expensive) and appending the converted time64 control message at the
end of the buffer. legacy time32 callers will see the converted one as
a spurious control message of unknown type; time64 callers running on
pre-time64 kernels will see the original one as a spurious control
message of unknown type. a time64 caller running on a kernel with
native time64 support will only see the time64 version of the control
message.
emulation of SO_TIMESTAMPING is not included at this time since (1)
applications which use it seem to be prepared for the possibility that
it's not present or working, and (2) it can also be used in sendmsg
control messages, in a manner that looks complex to emulate
completely, and costly even when running on a time64-supporting
kernel.
corresponding changes in recvmmsg are not made at this time; they will
be done separately.

based on patch by Dan Gohman, who caught this via compiler warnings.
analysis by Szabolcs Nagy determined that it's a bug, whereby errno
can be set incorrectly for values where the coercion from long double
to double causes rounding. it seems likely that floating point status
flags may be set incorrectly as a result too.
at the same time, clean up use of preprocessor concatenation involving
LDBL_MANT_DIG, which spuriously depends on it being a single unadorned
decimal integer literal, and instead use the equivalent formulation
2/LDBL_EPSILON. an equivalent change on the printf side was made in
commit bff6095d915f3e41206e47ea2a570ecb937ef926.

Some declarations of __tls_get_new were left in the code, even
though the definition got removed in
commit 9d44b6460ab603487dab4d916342d9ba4467e6b9
install dynamic tls synchronously at dlopen, streamline access
this can make the build fail with
ld: lib/libc.so: hidden symbol `__tls_get_new' isn't defined
when libc.so is linked without --gc-sections, because a .hidden
declaration in asm code creates a reference even if the symbol
is not actually used.

R_PPC_UADDR32 (R_PPC64_UADDR64) has the same meaning as R_PPC_ADDR32
(R_PPC64_ADDR64), except that its address need not be aligned. For
powerpc64, BFD ld(1) will automatically convert between ADDR<->UADDR
relocations when the address is/isn't at its native alignment. This
will happen if, for example, there is a pointer in a packed struct.
gold and lld do not currently generate R_PPC64_UADDR64, but pass
through misaligned R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocations from object files,
possibly relaxing them to misaligned R_PPC64_RELATIVE. In both cases
(relaxed or not) this violates the PSABI, which defines the relevant
field type as "a 64-bit field occupying 8 bytes, the alignment of
which is 8 bytes unless otherwise specified."
All three linkers violate the PSABI on 32-bit powerpc, where the only
difference is that the field is 32 bits wide, aligned to 4 bytes.
Currently musl fails to load executables linked by BFD ld containing
R_PPC64_UADDR64, with the error "unsupported relocation type 43".
This change provides compatibility with BFD ld on powerpc64, and any
static linker on either architecture that starts following the PSABI
more closely.

without this, the SIOCGSTAMP and SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands, for
obtaining timestamps, would stop working on pre-5.1 kernels after
time_t is switched to 64-bit and their values are changed to the new
time64 versions.
new code is written such that it's statically unreachable on 64-bit
archs, and on existing 32-bit archs until the macro values are changed
to activate 64-bit time_t.
|
|
without this, the SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options would
stop working on pre-5.1 kernels after time_t is switched to 64-bit and
their values are changed to the new time64 versions.
new code is written such that it's statically unreachable on 64-bit
archs, and on existing 32-bit archs until the macro values are changed
to activate 64-bit time_t.
|
|
the __socketcall and __socketcall_cp macros are remnants from a really
old version of the syscall-mechanism infrastructure, and don't follow
the pattern that the "__" version of the macro returns the raw negated
error number rather than setting errno and returning -1.
for time64 purposes, some socket syscalls will need to operate on the
error value rather than returning immediately, so fix this up so they
can use it.
|
|
this commit has no effect whatsoever right now, but is in preparation
for a future riscv32 port and other future 32-bit archs that will be
"time64-only" from the start on the kernel side.
together with the previous x32 changes, this commit ensures that
syscall call points that don't care about time (passing null timeouts,
etc.) can continue to do so without having to special-case time64-only
archs, and allows code using the time64 syscalls to uniformly test for
the need to fallback with SYS_foo != SYS_foo_time64, rather than
needing to check defined(SYS_foo) && SYS_foo != SYS_foo_time64.

commit 788d5e24ca19c6291cebd8d1ad5b5ed6abf42665 noted that we could
add this if needed, and in fact it is needed, but not for one of the
archs documented as having a 7th syscall arg register. rather, it's
needed for mips (o32), where all but the first 4 arguments are passed
on the stack, and the stack can accommodate a 7th.

commit b50d315fd23f0fbc4c11e2583801dd123d933745 introduced
fp_force_eval implemented by default with a dead store to a volatile
variable. unfortunately introduces warnings with -Wunused-variable and
breaks the ability to use -Werror with the default warning options set
by configure when warnings are enabled.
we could just call fp_barrier instead, but that results in a spurious
load after the store due to volatile semantics.
the fix committed here avoids the load. it will still produce warnings
without -Wno-unused-but-set-variable, but that's part of our default
warning profile, and there are already other locations in the source
where an unused variable warning will occur without it.

Musl currently aims to support non-nearest rounding mode and does not
support SNaNs. These macros allow marking relevant code paths in case
these decisions are changed later (they also help documenting the
corner cases involved).

These don't have an effectw with -Os so not useful with default settings

These are supposed to be used in tail call positions when handling
special cases in new code. (fp exceptions may be raised "naturally"
by the common code path if special casing is more effort.)
This implements the error handling apis used in
https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines
without errno setting.
|
|
Previously type casts or assignments were used for handling excess
precision, which assumed standard C99 semantics, but since it's a
rarely needed obscure detail, it's better to use explicit helper
functions to document where we rely on this. It also helps if the
code is used outside of the libc in non-C99 compilation mode: with the
default excess precision handling of gcc, explicit inline asm barriers
are needed for narrowing on FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 targets.
I plan to use this in new code with the existing style that uses
double_t and float_t as much as possible.
One ugliness is that it is required for almost every return statement
since that does not drop excess precision (the standard changed this
in C11 annex F, but that does not help in non-standard compilation
modes or with old compilers).
|
|
C99 has ways to support fenv access, but compilers don't implement it
and assume nearest rounding mode and no fp status flag access. (gcc has
-frounding-math and then it does not assume nearest rounding mode, but
it still assumes the compiled code itself does not change the mode.
Even if the C99 mechanism was implemented it is not ideal: it requires
all code in the library to be compiled with FENV_ACCESS "on" to make it
usable in non-nearest rounding mode, but that limits optimizations more
than necessary.)
The math functions should give reasonable results in all rounding modes
(but the quality may be degraded in non-nearest rounding modes) and the
fp status flag settings should follow the spec, so fenv side-effects are
important and code transformations that break them should be prevented.
Unfortunately compilers don't give any help with this, the best we can
do is to add fp barriers to the code using volatile local variables
(they create a stack frame and undesirable memory accesses to it) or
inline asm (gcc specific, requires target specific fp reg constraints,
often creates unnecessary reg moves and multiple barriers are needed to
express that an operation has side-effects) or extern call (only useful
in tail-call position to avoid stack-frame creation and does not work
with lto).
We assume that in a math function if an operation depends on the input
and the output depends on it, then the operation will be evaluated at
runtime when the function is called, producing all the expected fenv
side-effects (this is not true in case of lto and in case the operation
is evaluated with excess precision that is not rounded away). So fp
barriers are needed (1) to prevent the move of an operation within a
function (in case it may be moved from an unevaluated code path into an
evaluated one or if it may be moved across a fenv access), (2) force the
evaluation of an operation for its side-effect when it has no input
dependency (may be constant folded) or (3) when its output is unused. I
belive that fp_barrier and fp_force_eval can take care of these and they
should not be needed in hot code paths.
