while it's not clearly documented anywhere, this is the historical
behavior which some applications expect. applications which need to
see the response packet in these cases, for example to distinguish
between nonexistence in a secure vs insecure zone, must already use
res_mkquery with res_send in order to be portable, since most if not
all other implementations of res_query don't provide it.
|
|
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.

|
these have been adopted for future issue of POSIX as the outcome of
Austin Group issue 1151, and are simply functions performing the roles
of the historical ioctls. since struct winsize is being standardized
along with them, its definition is moved to the appropriate header.
there is some chance this will break source files that expect struct
winsize to be defined by sys/ioctl.h without including termios.h. if
this happens, further changes will be needed to have sys/ioctl.h
expose it too.

all path elements but the last had the final byte truncated.
|
|
this is a prerequisite for addition of other interfaces that use
kernel tids, including futex and SIGEV_THREAD_ID.
there is some ambiguity as to whether the semantic return type should
be int or pid_t. either way, futex API imposes a contract that the
values fit in int (excluding some upper reserved bits). glibc used
pid_t, so in the interest of not having gratuitous mismatch (the
underlying types are the same anyway), pid_t is used here as well.
while conceptually this is a syscall, the copy stored in the thread
structure is always valid in all contexts where it's valid to call
libc functions, so it's used to avoid the syscall.
|
|
longjmp should set the return value of setjmp, but 64bit
registers were used for the 0 check while the type is int.
use the code that gcc generates for return val ? val : 1;
|
|
Use a branchless sequence that is one byte shorter on 64-bit, same size
on 32-bit. Thanks to Pete Cawley for suggesting this variant.

longjmp 'val' argument is an int, but the assembly is referencing 64-bit
registers as if the argument was a long, or the caller was responsible
for extending the argument. Though the psABI is not clear on this, the
interpretation in GCC is that high bits may be arbitrary and the callee
is responsible for sign/zero-extending the value as needed (likewise for
return values: callers must anticipate that high bits may be garbage).
Therefore testing %rax is a functional bug: setjmp would wrongly return
zero if longjmp was called with val==0, but high bits of %rsi happened
to be non-zero.
Rewrite the prologue to refer to 32-bit registers. In passing, change
'test' to use %rsi, as there's no advantage to using %rax and the new
form is cheaper on processors that do not perform move elimination.

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_.

same approach as in sqrt.
sqrtl was broken on aarch64, riscv64 and s390x targets because
of missing quad precision support and on m68k-sf because of
missing ld80 sqrtl.
this implementation is written for quad precision and then
edited to make it work for both m68k and x86 style ld80 formats
too, but it is not expected to be optimal for them.
note: using fp instructions for the initial estimate when such
instructions are available (e.g. double prec sqrt or rsqrt) is
avoided because of fenv correctness.
|
|
for targets where long double is different from double.

same method as in sqrt, this was tested on all inputs against
an sqrtf instruction. (the only difference found was that x86
sqrtf does not signal the x86 specific input-denormal exception
on negative subnormal inputs while the software sqrtf does,
this is fine as it was designed for ieee754 exceptions only.)
there is known faster method:
"Computing Floating-Point Square Roots via Bivariate Polynomial Evaluation"
that computes sqrtf directly via pipelined polynomial evaluation
which allows more parallelism, but the design does not generalize
easily to higher precisions.
|
|
approximate 1/sqrt(x) and sqrt(x) with goldschmidt iterations.
this is known to be a fast method for computing sqrt, but it is
tricky to get right, so added detailed comments.
use a lookup table for the initial estimate, this adds 256bytes
rodata but it can be shared between sqrt, sqrtf and sqrtl.
this saves one iteration compared to a linear estimate.
this is for soft float targets, but it supports fenv by using a
floating-point operation to get the final result. the result
is correctly rounded in all rounding modes. if fenv support is
turned off then the nearest rounded result is computed and
inexact exception is not signaled.
assumes fast 32bit integer arithmetics and 32 to 64bit mul.

prior to this change, the canonical name came from the first hosts
file line matching the requested family, so the canonical name for a
given hostname could differ depending on whether it was requested with
AF_UNSPEC or a particular family (AF_INET or AF_INET6). now, the
canonical name is deterministically the first one to appear with the
requested name as an alias.
|
|
the existing code clobbered the canonical name already discovered
every time another matching line was found, which will necessarily be
the case when a hostname has both IPv4 and v6 definitions.
patch by Wolf.

this is actually a functional fix at present, since the C sqrtl does
not support ld80 and just wraps double sqrt. once that's fixed it will
just be an optimization.

the previous commit addressing async-signal-safety issues around
pthread_kill did not fully fix pthread_cancel, which is also required
(albeit rather irrationally) to be async-cancel-safe.
without blocking implementation-internal signals, it's possible that,
when async cancellation is enabled, a cancel signal sent by another
thread interrupts pthread_kill while the killlock for a targeted
thread is held. as a result, the calling thread will terminate due to
cancellation without ever unlocking the targeted thread's killlock,
and thus the targeted thread will be unable to exit.
|
|
pthread_kill is required to be AS-safe. that requirement can't be met
if the target thread's killlock can be taken in contexts where
application-installed signal handlers can run.
block signals around use of this lock in all pthread_* functions which
target a tid, and reorder blocking/unblocking of signals in
pthread_exit so that they're blocked whenever the killlock is held.

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.

vfscanf() may use the variable 'alloc' uninitialized when taking the
branch introduced by commit b287cd745c2243f8e5114331763a5a9813b5f6ee.

the files added come from the mallocng development repo, commit
2ed58817cca5bc055974e5a0e43c280d106e696b. they comprise a new malloc
implementation, developed over the past 9 months, to replace the old
allocator (since dubbed "oldmalloc") with one that retains low code
size and minimal baseline memory overhead while avoiding fundamental
flaws in oldmalloc and making significant enhancements. these include
highly controlled fragmentation, fine-grained ability to return memory
to the system when freed, and strong hardening against dynamic memory
usage errors by the caller.
internally, mallocng derives most of these properties from tightly
structuring memory, creating space for allocations as uniform-sized
slots within individually mmapped (and individually freeable)
allocation groups. smaller-than-pagesize groups are created within
slots of larger ones. minimal group size is very small, and larger
sizes (in geometric progression) only come into play when usage is
high.
all data necessary for maintaining consistency of the allocator state
is tracked in out-of-band metadata, reachable via a validated path
from minimal in-band metadata. all pointers passed (to free, etc.) are
validated before any stores to memory take place. early reuse of freed
slots is avoided via approximate LRU order of freed slots. further
hardening against use-after-free and double-free, even in the case
where the freed slot has been reused, is made by cycling the offset
within the slot at which the allocation is placed; this is possible
whenever the slot size is larger than the requested allocation.
|
|
this includes both an implementation of reclaimed-gap donation from
ldso and a version of mallocng's glue.h with namespace-safe linkage to
underlying syscalls, integration with AT_RANDOM initialization, and
internal locking that's optimized out when the process is
single-threaded.

these are based on the ARM optimized-routines repository v20.05
(ef907c7a799a), with macro dependencies flattened out and memmove code
removed from memcpy. this change is somewhat unfortunate since having
the branch for memmove support in the large n case of memcpy is the
performance-optimal and size-optimal way to do both, but it makes
memcpy alone (static-linked) about 40% larger and suggests a policy
that use of memcpy as memmove is supported.
tabs used for alignment have also been replaced with spaces.
|
|
Allow the existing ARM assembler memcpy implementation to be used for
both big and little endian targets.
|
|
the child is single-threaded, but may still need to synchronize with
last changes made to memory by another thread in the parent, so set
need_locks to -1 whereby the next lock-taker will drop to 0 and
prevent further barriers/locking.
|
|
otherwise, shrink in-place. as explained in the description of commit
3e16313f8fe2ed143ae0267fd79d63014c24779f, the split here is valid
without holding split_merge_lock because all chunks involved are in
the in-use state.
|
|
commit 3e16313f8fe2ed143ae0267fd79d63014c24779f introduced this bug by
making the copy case reachable with n (new size) smaller than n0
(original size). this was left as the only way of shrinking an
allocation because it reduces fragmentation if a free chunk of the
appropriate size is available. when that's not the case, another
approach may be better, but any such improvement would be independent
of fixing this bug.

access always computes result with real ids not effective ones, so it
is not a valid means of determining whether the directory is readable.
instead, attempt to open it before reporting whether it's readable,
and then use fdopendir rather than opendir to open and read the
entries.
effort is made here to keep fd_limit behavior the same as before even
if it was not correct.
|
|
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.
|
|
it both malloc and aligned_alloc have been replaced but the internal
aligned_alloc still gets called, the replacement is a wrapper of some
sort. it's not clear if this usage should be officially supported, but
it's at least a plausibly interesting debugging usage, and easy to do.
it should not be relied upon unless it's documented as supported at
some later time.
|
|
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.
|
|
it's not part of the malloc implementation but glue with musl dynamic
linker.
|
|
abstractly, calloc is completely malloc-implementation-independent;
it's malloc followed by memset, or as we do it, a "conditional memset"
that avoids touching fresh zero pages.
previously, calloc was kept separate for the bump allocator, which can
always skip memset, and the version of calloc provided with the full
malloc conditionally skipped the clearing for large direct-mmapped
allocations. the latter is a moderately attractive optimization, and
can be added back if needed. however, further consideration to make it
correct under malloc replacement would be needed.
commit b4b1e10364c8737a632be61582e05a8d3acf5690 documented the
contract for malloc replacement as allowing omission of calloc, and
indeed that worked for dynamic linking, but for static linking it was
possible to get the non-clearing definition from the bump allocator;
if not for that, it would have been a link error trying to pull in
malloc.o.
the conditional-clearing code for the new common calloc is taken from
mal0_clear in oldmalloc, but drops the need to access actual page size
and just uses a fixed value of 4096. this avoids potentially needing
access to global data for the sake of an optimization that at best
marginally helps archs with offensively-large page sizes.
|
|
this sets the stage for replacement, and makes it practical to keep
oldmalloc around as a build option for a while if that ends up being
useful.
only the files which are actually part of the implementation are
moved. memalign and posix_memalign are entirely generic. in theory
calloc could be pulled out too, but it's useful to have it tied to the
implementation so as to optimize out unnecessary memset when
implementation details make it possible to know the memory is already
clear.
|
|
this function is no longer used elsewhere, and moving it reduces the
number of source files specific to the malloc implementation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
this change eliminates the internal __memalign function and makes the
memalign and posix_memalign functions completely independent of the
malloc implementation, written portably in terms of aligned_alloc.
|
|
this is the first step of swapping the name of the actual
implementation to aligned_alloc while preserving history follow.
|
|
this was an unfinished draft document present since the initial
check-in, that was never intended to ship in its current form. remove
it as part of reorganizing for replacement of the allocator.
|
|
this affects the bump allocator used when static linking in programs
that don't need allocation metadata due to not using realloc, free,
etc.
commit e3bc22f1eff87b8f029a6ab31f1a269d69e4b053 refactored the bump
allocator to share code with __expand_heap, used by malloc, for the
purpose of fixing the case (mainly nommu) where brk doesn't work.
however, the geometric growth behavior of __expand_heap is not
actually well-suited to the bump allocator, and can produce
significant excessive memory usage. in particular, by repeatedly
requesting just over the remaining free space in the current
mmap-allocated area, the total mapped memory will be roughly double
the nominal usage. and since the main user of the no-brk mmap fallback
in the bump allocator is nommu, this excessive usage is not just
virtual address space but physical memory.
in addition, even on systems with brk, having a unified size request
to __expand_heap without knowing whether the brk or mmap backend would
get used made it so the brk could be expanded twice as far as needed.
for example, with malloc(n) and n-1 bytes available before the current
brk, the brk would be expanded by n bytes rounded up to page size,
when expansion by just one page would have sufficed.
the new implementation computes request size separately for the cases
where brk expansion is being attempted vs using mmap, and also
performs individual mmap of large allocations without moving to a new
bump area and throwing away the rest of the old one. this greatly
reduces the need for geometric area size growth and limits the extent
to which free space at the end of one bump area might be unusable for
future allocations.
as a bonus, the resulting code size is somewhat smaller than the
combined old version plus __expand_heap.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
clock_adjtime always returns the current clock setting in struct
timex, so it's always possible that the time64 version is needed.
|
|
the 64-bit time code path used the wrong (time32) syscall. fortunately
this code path is not yet taken unless attempting to set a post-Y2038
time.
