From f47a8cdd250d9163fcfb39bf4e9d813957c0b187 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2022 18:59:08 -0500 Subject: ldso: fix invalid early references to extern-linkage libc.page_size when PAGE_SIZE is not constant, internal/libc.h defines it to expand to libc.page_size. however, kernel_mapped_dso, reachable from stage 2 of the dynamic linker bootstrap (__dls2), needs PAGE_SIZE to interpret the relro range. at this point the libc object is both uninitialized and invalid to access according to our model for bootstrapping, which does not assume any external-linkage objects are accessible until stages 2b/3. in practice it likely worked because hidden visibility tends to behave like internal linkage, but this is not a property that the dynamic linker was designed to rely upon. this bug likely manifested as relro malfunction on archs with variable page size, due to incorrect mask when aligning the relro bounds to page boundaries. while there are certainly more direct ways to fix the known problem point here, a maximally future-proof way is to just bypass the libc.h PAGE_SIZE definition in the dynamic linker and instead have dynlink.c define its own internal-linkage object for variable page size. then, if anything else in stage 2 ever ends up referencing PAGE_SIZE, it will just automatically work right. --- ldso/dynlink.c | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'ldso/dynlink.c') diff --git a/ldso/dynlink.c b/ldso/dynlink.c index 8068fb37..09f3b0a8 100644 --- a/ldso/dynlink.c +++ b/ldso/dynlink.c @@ -21,9 +21,15 @@ #include #include "pthread_impl.h" #include "fork_impl.h" -#include "libc.h" #include "dynlink.h" +static size_t ldso_page_size; +#ifndef PAGE_SIZE +#define PAGE_SIZE ldso_page_size +#endif + +#include "libc.h" + #define malloc __libc_malloc #define calloc __libc_calloc #define realloc __libc_realloc @@ -1723,6 +1729,7 @@ hidden void __dls2(unsigned char *base, size_t *sp) ldso.phnum = ehdr->e_phnum; ldso.phdr = laddr(&ldso, ehdr->e_phoff); ldso.phentsize = ehdr->e_phentsize; + search_vec(auxv, &ldso_page_size, AT_PAGESZ); kernel_mapped_dso(&ldso); decode_dyn(&ldso); -- cgit v1.2.1
