2022-11-03elf: Rework exception handling in the dynamic loader [BZ #25486]Florian Weimer1-263/+0
The old exception handling implementation used function interposition to replace the dynamic loader implementation (no TLS support) with the libc implementation (TLS support). This results in problems if the link order between the dynamic loader and libc is reversed (bug 25486). The new implementation moves the entire implementation of the exception handling functions back into the dynamic loader, using THREAD_GETMEM and THREAD_SETMEM for thread-local data support. These depends on Hurd support for these macros, added in commit b65a82e4e757c1e6cb7073916 ("hurd: Add THREAD_GET/SETMEM/_NC"). One small obstacle is that the exception handling facilities are used before the TCB has been set up, so a check is needed if the TCB is available. If not, a regular global variable is used to store the exception handling information. Also rename dl-error.c to dl-catch.c, to avoid confusion with the dlerror function.

2022-02-10elf: Remove prelink supportAdhemerval Zanella1-2/+2
Prelinked binaries and libraries still work, the dynamic tags DT_GNU_PRELINKED, DT_GNU_LIBLIST, DT_GNU_CONFLICT just ignored (meaning the process is reallocated as default). The loader environment variable TRACE_PRELINKING is also removed, since it used solely on prelink. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

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 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah.

2021-04-21dlfcn: Failures after dlmopen should not terminate process [BZ #24772]Florian Weimer1-0/+12
Commit 9e78f6f6e7134a5f299cc8de77370218f8019237 ("Implement _dl_catch_error, _dl_signal_error in libc.so [BZ #16628]") has the side effect that distinct namespaces, as created by dlmopen, now have separate implementations of the rtld exception mechanism. This means that the call to _dl_catch_error from libdl in a secondary namespace does not actually install an exception handler because the thread-local variable catch_hook in the libc.so copy in the secondary namespace is distinct from that of the base namepace. As a result, a dlsym/dlopen/... failure in a secondary namespace terminates the process with a dynamic linker error because it looks to the exception handler mechanism as if no handler has been installed. This commit restores GLRO (dl_catch_error) and uses it to set the handler in the base namespace. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

2019-11-16Enhance _dl_catch_exception to allow disabling exception handlingFlorian Weimer1-0/+12
In some cases, it is necessary to introduce noexcept regions where raised dynamic loader exceptions (e.g., from lazy binding) are fatal, despite being nested in a code region with an active exception handler. This change enhances _dl_catch_exception with to provide such a capability. The existing function is reused, so that it is not necessary to introduce yet another function with a similar purpose.

2017-08-13ld.so: Remove internal_function attribute from various functionsFlorian Weimer1-4/+0
These functions are invoked from other DSOs and should therefore use the standard calling convention.
2017-08-10ld.so: Introduce struct dl_exceptionFlorian Weimer1-67/+80
This commit separates allocating and raising exceptions. This simplifies catching and re-raising them because it is no longer necessary to make a temporary, on-stack copy of the exception message.

2016-11-30Implement _dl_catch_error, _dl_signal_error in libc.so [BZ #16628]Florian Weimer1-0/+230
This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error, _dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the rtld_global variable. For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and elf/dl-error-minimal.c. As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c no longer includes support for the _dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only used in ld.so.
