2022-02-10malloc: Remove LD_TRACE_PRELINKING usage from mtraceAdhemerval Zanella1-24/+31
The fix for BZ#22716 replacde LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS with LD_TRACE_PRELINKING so mtrace could record executable address position. To provide the same information, LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS is extended where a value or '2' also prints the executable address as well. It avoid adding another loader environment variable to be used solely for mtrace. The vDSO will be printed as a default library (with '=>' pointing the same name), which is ok since both mtrace and ldd already handles it. The mtrace script is changed to also parse the new format. To correctly support PIE and non-PIE executables, both the default mtrace address and the one calculated as used (it fixes mtrace for non-PIE exectuable as for BZ#22716 for PIE).

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2022. This is the patch for the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent build / regeneration of generated files. As well as the usual annual updates, mainly dates in --version output (minus csu/version.c which previously had to be handled manually but is now successfully updated by update-copyrights), there is a small change to the copyright notice in NEWS which should let NEWS get updated automatically next year. Please remember to include 2022 in the dates for any new files added in future (which means updating any existing uncommitted patches you have that add new files to use the new copyright dates in them).

2021-12-16Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLDPatrick McGehearty1-10/+5
The current limit on MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD is either 1 Mbyte (for 32-bit apps) or 32 Mbytes (for 64-bit apps). This value was set by a patch dated 2006 (15 years ago). Attempts to set the threshold higher are currently ignored. The default behavior is appropriate for many highly parallel applications where many processes or threads are sharing RAM. In other situations where the number of active processes or threads closely matches the number of cores, a much higher limit may be desired by the application designer. By today's standards on personal computers and small servers, 2 Gbytes of RAM per core is commonly available. On larger systems 4 Gbytes or more of RAM is sometimes available. Instead of raising the limit to match current needs, this patch proposes to remove the limit of the tunable, leaving the decision up to the user of a tunable to judge the best value for their needs. This patch does not change any of the defaults for malloc tunables, retaining the current behavior of the dynamic malloc mmap threshold. bugzilla 27801 - Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com> malloc/ malloc.c changed do_set_mmap_threshold to remove test for HEAP_MAX_SIZE.

It is enabled as default for glibc.malloc.hugetlb set to 2 or higher. It also uses a non configurable minimum value and maximum value, currently set respectively to 1 and 4 selected huge page size. The arena allocation with huge pages does not use MAP_NORESERVE. As indicate by kernel internal documentation [1], the flag might trigger a SIGBUS on soft page faults if at memory access there is no left pages in the pool. On systems without a reserved huge pages pool, is just stress the mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) allocation failure. To improve test coverage it is required to create a pool with some allocated pages. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu with no reserved pages, 10 reserved pages (which trigger mmap(MAP_HUGETBL) failures) and with 256 reserved pages (which does not trigger mmap(MAP_HUGETLB) failures).

2021-12-15malloc: Add Huge Page support for mmapAdhemerval Zanella3-9/+34
With the morecore hook removed, there is not easy way to provide huge pages support on with glibc allocator without resorting to transparent huge pages. And some users and programs do prefer to use the huge pages directly instead of THP for multiple reasons: no splitting, re-merging by the VM, no TLB shootdowns for running processes, fast allocation from the reserve pool, no competition with the rest of the processes unlike THP, no swapping all, etc. This patch extends the 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb' tunable: the value '2' means to use huge pages directly with the system default size, while a positive value means and specific page size that is matched against the supported ones by the system. Currently only memory allocated on sysmalloc() is handled, the arenas still uses the default system page size. To test is a new rule is added tests-malloc-hugetlb2, which run the addes tests with the required GLIBC_TUNABLE setting.

2021-12-15malloc: Add madvise support for Transparent Huge PagesAdhemerval Zanella4-0/+69
Linux Transparent Huge Pages (THP) current supports three different states: 'never', 'madvise', and 'always'. The 'never' is self-explanatory and 'always' will enable THP for all anonymous pages. However, 'madvise' is still the default for some system and for such case THP will be only used if the memory range is explicity advertise by the program through a madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call. To enable it a new tunable is provided, 'glibc.malloc.hugetlb', where setting to a value diffent than 0 enables the madvise call. This patch issues the madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) call after a successful mmap() call at sysmalloc() with sizes larger than the default huge page size. The madvise() call is disable is system does not support THP or if it has the mode set to "never" and on Linux only support one page size for THP, even if the architecture supports multiple sizes.

However, the warnings appear to be both true (that iteration would indeed involve undefined behavior if executed) and useless in this particular case (that iteration is never executed, because the allocation size overflows and so the allocation fails - but the check for allocation size overflow is in a separate source file and so can't be seen by the compiler when compiling this test). So use the DIAG_* macros to disable -Waggressive-loop-optimizations around the calls in question to dynarray_long_resize and dynarray_long_noscratch_resize in this test. Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (GCC mainline) for arm-linux-gnueabi, where it restores a clean testsuite build.

2021-10-21Add alloc_align attribute to memalign et alJonathan Wakely1-2/+3
GCC 4.9.0 added the alloc_align attribute to say that a function argument specifies the alignment of the returned pointer. Clang supports the attribute too. Using the attribute can allow a compiler to generate better code if it knows the returned pointer has a minimum alignment. See https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60092 for more details. GCC implicitly knows the semantics of aligned_alloc and posix_memalign, but not the obsolete memalign. As a result, GCC generates worse code when memalign is used, compared to aligned_alloc. Clang knows about aligned_alloc and memalign, but not posix_memalign. This change adds a new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro to <sys/cdefs.h> and then uses it on memalign (where it helps GCC) and aligned_alloc (where GCC and Clang already know the semantics, but it doesn't hurt) and xposix_memalign. It can't be used on posix_memalign because that doesn't return a pointer (the allocated pointer is returned via a void** parameter instead). Unlike the alloc_size attribute, alloc_align only allows a single argument. That means the new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro doesn't really need to be used with double parentheses to protect a comma between its arguments. For consistency with __attribute_alloc_size__ this patch defines it the same way, so that double parentheses are required.

Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by, etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these contributions.

Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops. These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches. Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to preload libc_malloc_debug.so. The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly the same version as libc.so.

There is a 1 in 16 chance of a corruption escaping safe-linking and to guard against spurious failures, tst-safe-linking runs each subtest 10 times to ensure that the chance is reduced to 1 in 2^40. However, in the 1 in 16 chance that a corruption does escape safe linking, it could well be caught by other sanity checks we do in malloc, which then results in spurious test failures like below: test test_fastbin_consolidate failed with a different error expected: malloc_consolidate(): unaligned fastbin chunk detected actual: malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size This failure is seen more frequently on i686; I was able to reproduce it in about 5 min of running it in a loop. Guard against such failures by recording them and retrying the test. Also, do not fail the test if we happened to get defeated by the 1 in 2^40 odds if in at least one of the instances it was detected by other checks. Finally, bolster the odds to 2^64 by running 16 times instead of 10. The test still has a chance of failure so it is still flaky in theory. However in practice if we see a failure here then it's more likely that there's a bug than it being an issue with the test. Add more printfs and also dump them to stdout so that in the event the test actually fails, we will have some data to try and understand why it may have failed.

2021-07-09Force building with -fno-commonFlorian Weimer2-2/+2
As a result, is not necessary to specify __attribute__ ((nocommon)) on individual definitions. GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common on all architectures except ARC, but this change is compatible with older GCC versions and ARC, too. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
2021-07-09Add a generic malloc test for MALLOC_ALIGNMENTH.J. Lu3-40/+73
1. Add sysdeps/generic/malloc-size.h to define size related macros for malloc. 2. Move x86_64/tst-mallocalign1.c to malloc and replace ALIGN_MASK with MALLOC_ALIGN_MASK. 3. Add tst-mallocalign1 to tests-exclude-mcheck for i386 and x32 since mcheck doesn't honor MALLOC_ALIGNMENT.
2021-07-08_int_realloc is staticSiddhesh Poyarekar1-2/+2
_int_realloc is correctly declared at the top to be static, but incorrectly defined without the static keyword. Fix that. The generated binaries have identical code.
2021-07-08Move mcheck symbol from stdlib to mallocSiddhesh Poyarekar1-1/+1
It is defined in malloc, so it belongs there. Verified on x86_64 that the built libraries are identical despite this change.
2021-07-08Harden tcache double-free checkSiddhesh Poyarekar2-4/+41
The tcache allocator layer uses the tcache pointer as a key to identify a block that may be freed twice. Since this is in the application data area, an attacker exploiting a use-after-free could potentially get access to the entire tcache structure through this key. A detailed write-up was provided by Awarau here: https://awaraucom.wordpress.com/2020/07/19/house-of-io-remastered/ Replace this static pointer use for key checking with one that is generated at malloc initialization. The first attempt is through getrandom with a fallback to random_bits(), which is a simple pseudo-random number generator based on the clock. The fallback ought to be sufficient since the goal of the randomness is only to make the key arbitrary enough that it is very unlikely to collide with user data.
