Linux 6.11 has getrandom() in vDSO. It operates on a thread-local opaque
state allocated with mmap using flags specified by the vDSO.
Multiple states are allocated at once, as many as fit into a page, and
these are held in an array of available states to be doled out to each
thread upon first use, and recycled when a thread terminates. As these
states run low, more are allocated.
To make this procedure async-signal-safe, a simple guard is used in the
LSB of the opaque state address, falling back to the syscall if there's
reentrancy contention.
Also, _Fork() is handled by blocking signals on opaque state allocation
(so _Fork() always sees a consistent state even if it interrupts a
getrandom() call) and by iterating over the thread stack cache on
reclaim_stack. Each opaque state will be in the free states list
(grnd_alloc.states) or allocated to a running thread.
The cancellation is handled by always using GRND_NONBLOCK flags while
calling the vDSO, and falling back to the cancellable syscall if the
kernel returns EAGAIN (would block). Since getrandom is not defined by
POSIX and cancellation is supported as an extension, the cancellation is
handled as 'may occur' instead of 'shall occur' [1], meaning that if
vDSO does not block (the expected behavior) getrandom will not act as a
cancellation entrypoint. It avoids a pthread_testcancel call on the fast
path (different than 'shall occur' functions, like sem_wait()).
It is currently enabled for x86_64, which is available in Linux 6.11,
and aarch64, powerpc32, powerpc64, loongarch64, and s390x, which are
available in Linux 6.12.

Improve aligned_alloc/calloc/malloc test coverage by adding
multi-threaded tests with random memory allocations and with/without
cross-thread memory deallocations.
Perform a number of memory allocation calls with random sizes limited
to 0xffff.
Use the existing DSO ('malloc/tst-aligned_alloc-lib.c') to randomize
allocator selection.
The multi-threaded allocation/deallocation is staged as described below:
- Stage 1: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
other half will be waiting for them to finish the allocation.
- Stage 2: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
other half will be deallocating memory.
- Stage 3: Half of the threads will be deallocating memory and the
second half waiting on them to finish.
Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread.c' where each thread will
deallocate only the memory that was previously allocated by itself.
Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread-cross.c' where each thread
will deallocate memory that was previously allocated by another thread.
The intention is to be able to utilize existing malloc testing to ensure
that similar allocation APIs are also exposed to the same rigors.

Use the list form of the open function to avoid interpreting meta

The previous version expanded $0 and $@ twice.
The new version defines a q no-op shell command. The Perl syntax
error is masked by the eval Perl function. The q { … } construct
is executed by the shell without errors because the q shell function
was defined, but treated as a non-expanding quoted string by Perl,
effectively hiding its context from the Perl interpreter. As before
the script is read by require instead of executed directly, to avoid
infinite recursion because the #! line contains /bin/sh.
Introduce the “fatal” function to produce diagnostics that are not
suppressed by “do”. Use “do” instead of “require” because it has
fewer requirements on the executed script than “require”.
Prefix relative paths with './' because “do” (and “require“ before)
searches for the script in @INC if the path is relative and does not
start with './'. Use $_ to make the trampoline shorter.
Add an Emacs mode marker to indentify the script as a Perl script.

Generation of the Perl script does not depend on Perl, so we can
always install it even if $(PERL) is not set during the build.
Change the malloc/mtrace.pl text substition not to rely on $(PERL).
Instead use PATH at run time to find the Perl interpreter. The Perl
interpreter cannot execute directly a script that starts with
“#! /bin/sh”: it always executes it with /bin/sh. There is no
perl command line switch to disable this behavior. Instead, use
the Perl require function to execute the script. The additional
shift calls remove the “.” shell arguments. Perl interprets the
“.” as a string concatenation operator, making the expression
syntactically valid.

The test aims to ensure that malloc uses the alternate path to
allocate memory when sbrk() or brk() fails.To achieve this,
the test first creates an obstruction at current program break,
tests that obstruction with a failing sbrk(), then checks if malloc
is still returning a valid ptr thus inferring that malloc() used
mmap() instead of brk() or sbrk() to allocate the memory.

The __getrandom_nocancel function returns errors as negative values
instead of errno. This is inconsistent with other _nocancel functions
and it breaks "TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY (__getrandom_nocancel (p, n, 0))" in

INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL to fix this issue.
But __getrandom_nocancel has been avoiding from touching errno for a

Even for explicit large page support, allocation might use mmap without
the hugepage bit set if the requested size is smaller than
mmap_threshold. For this case where mmap is issued, MAP_HUGETLB is set
iff the allocation size is larger than the used large page.
To force such allocations to use large pages, also tune the mmap_threhold
(if it is not explicit set by a tunable). This forces allocation to
follow the sbrk path, which will fall back to mmap (which will try large
pages before galling back to default mmap).

This restore the 2.33 semantic for arena_get2. It was changed by
11a02b035b46 to avoid arena_get2 call malloc (back when __get_nproc

On the test workload (mpv --cache=yes with VP9 video decoding), the

merging opportunities since commit 542b1105852568c3ebc712225ae78b

Previously, calling _int_free from _int_memalign could put remainders
into the tcache or into fastbins, where they are invisible to the
low-level allocator. This results in missed merge opportunities
because once these freed chunks become available to the low-level
allocator, further memalign allocations (even of the same size are)
likely obstructing merges.
Furthermore, during forwards merging in _int_memalign, do not
completely give up when the remainder is too small to serve as a
chunk on its own. We can still give it back if it can be merged
with the following unused chunk. This makes it more likely that
memalign calls in a loop achieve a compact memory layout,
independently of initial heap layout.
Drop some useless (unsigned long) casts along the way, and tweak
the style to more closely match GNU on changed lines.

The trim_threshold is too aggressive a heuristic to decide if chunk
reuse is OK for reallocated memory; for repeated small, shrinking
allocations it leads to internal fragmentation and for repeated larger
allocations that fragmentation may blow up even worse due to the dynamic
nature of the threshold.
Limit reuse only when it is within the alignment padding, which is 2 *
size_t for heap allocations and a page size for mmapped allocations.
There's the added wrinkle of THP, but this fix ignores it for now,
pessimizing that case in favor of keeping fragmentation low.
This resolves BZ #30579.

The tst-mallocfork2 and tst-mallocfork3 create large number of
subprocesss, around 11k for former and 20k for latter, to check
for malloc async-signal-safeness on both fork and _Fork. However
they do not really exercise allocation patterns different than
other tests fro malloc itself, and the spawned process just exit
without any extra computation.
The tst-malloc-tcache-leak is similar, but creates 100k threads
and already checks the resulting with mallinfo.
These tests are also very sensitive to system load (since they
estresss heavy the kernel resource allocation), and adding them
on THP tunable and mcheck tests increase the pressure even more.
For THP the fork tests do not add any more coverage than other
tests. The mcheck is also not enable for tst-malloc-tcache-leak.

Based on these comments in malloc.c:
size field is or'ed with NON_MAIN_ARENA if the chunk was obtained
from a non-main arena. This is only set immediately before handing
the chunk to the user, if necessary.
The NON_MAIN_ARENA flag is never set for unsorted chunks, so it
does not have to be taken into account in size comparisons.
When we pull a chunk off the unsorted list (or any list) we need to
make sure that flag is set properly before returning the chunk.
Use the rounded-up size for chunk_ok_for_memalign()
Do not scan the arena for reusable chunks if there's no arena.
Account for chunk overhead when determining if a chunk is a reuse
candidate.
mcheck interferes with memalign, so skip mcheck variants of

This patch adds a chunk scanning algorithm to the _int_memalign code
path that reduces heap fragmentation by reusing already aligned chunks
instead of always looking for chunks of larger sizes and splitting
them. The tcache macros are extended to allow removing a chunk from
the middle of the list.
The goal is to fix the pathological use cases where heaps grow
continuously in workloads that are heavy users of memalign.
Note that tst-memalign-2 checks for tcache operation, which
malloc-check bypasses.

This patch is analogous to commit
a3708cf6b0a5a68e2ed1ce3db28a03ed21d368d2.
atoi has undefined behavior on out-of-range input, which makes it
problematic to use anywhere in glibc that might be processing input
out-of-range for atoi but not specified to produce undefined behavior
for the function calling atoi. In conjunction with the C2x strtol
changes, use of atoi in libc can also result in localplt test failures
because the redirection for strtol does not interact properly with the
libc_hidden_proto call for __isoc23_strtol for the call in the inline
atoi implementation.
In malloc/arena.c, this issue shows up for atoi calls that are only
compiled for --disable-tunables (thus with the
x86_64-linux-gnu-minimal configuration of build-many-glibcs.py, for
example). Change those atoi calls to use strtol directly, as in the
previous such changes.
Tested for x86_64 (--disable-tunables).

If there is enough space in the chunk to satisfy the new size, return
the old pointer as is, thus avoiding any locks or reallocations. The
only real place this has a benefit is in large chunks that tend to get
satisfied with mmap, since there is a large enough spare size (up to a
page) for it to matter. For allocations on heap, the extra size is
typically barely a few bytes (up to 15) and it's unlikely that it would
make much difference in performance.
Also added a smoke test to ensure that the old pointer is returned
unchanged if the new size to realloc is within usable size of the old
pointer.
