2017-06-07	tunables: Clean up hooks to get and set tunables	Siddhesh Poyarekar	1	-11/+58
	The TUNABLE_SET_VALUE and family of macros (and my later attempt to add a TUNABLE_GET) never quite went together very well because the overall interface was not clearly defined. This patch is an attempt to do just that. This patch consolidates the API to two simple sets of macros, TUNABLE_GET* and TUNABLE_SET. If TUNABLE_NAMESPACE is defined, TUNABLE_GET takes just the tunable name, type and a (optionally NULL) callback function to get the value of the tunable. The callback function, if non-NULL, is called if the tunable was externally set (i.e. via GLIBC_TUNABLES or any future mechanism). For example: val = TUNABLE_GET (check, int32_t, check_callback) returns the value of the glibc.malloc.check tunable (assuming TUNABLE_NAMESPACE is set to malloc) as an int32_t into VAL after calling check_callback. Likewise, TUNABLE_SET can be used to set the value of the tunable, although this is currently possible only in the dynamic linker before it relocates itself. For example: TUNABLE_SET (check, int32_t, 2) will set glibc.malloc.check to 2. Of course, this is not possible since we set (or read) glibc.malloc.check long after it is relocated. To access or set a tunable outside of TUNABLE_NAMESPACE, use the TUNABLE_GET_FULL and TUNABLE_SET_FULL macros, which have the following prototype: TUNABLE_GET_FULL (glibc, tune, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, NULL) TUNABLE_SET_FULL (glibc, tune, hwcap_mask, uint64_t, 0xffff) In future the tunable list may get split into mutable and immutable tunables where mutable tunables can be modified by the library and userspace after relocation as well and TUNABLE_SET will be more useful than it currently is. However whenever we actually do that split, we will have to ensure that the mutable tunables are protected with locks. elf/Versions (__tunable_set_val): Rename to __tunable_get_val. * elf/dl-tunables.c: Likewise.

2017-05-17	tunables: Add support for tunables of uint64_t type	Siddhesh Poyarekar	1	-1/+2
	Recognize the uint64_t type in addition to the current int32_t and size_t. This allows addition of tunables of uint64_t types. In addition to adding the uint64_t type, this patch also consolidates validation and reading of integer types in tunables. One notable change is that of overflow computation in tunables_strtoul. The function was lifted from __internal_strtoul, but it does not need the boundary condition check (i.e. result == ULONG_MAX) since it does not need to set errno. As a result the check can be simplified, which I have now done. * elf/dl-tunable-types.h (tunable_type_code_t): New type TUNABLE_TYPE_UINT_64. * elf/dl-tunables.c (tunables_strtoul): Return uint64_t. Simplify computation of overflow. (tunable_set_val_if_valid_range_signed, tunable_set_val_if_valid_range_unsigned): Remove and replace with this... (TUNABLE_SET_VAL_IF_VALID_RANGE): ... New macro. (tunable_initialize): Adjust. Add uint64_t support. (__tunable_set_val): Add uint64_t support. * README.tunables: Document it.
2017-05-17	tunables: Specify a default value for tunables	Siddhesh Poyarekar	1	-0/+2
	Enhance dl-tunables.list to allow specifying a default value for a tunable that it would be initialized to. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Recognize 'default' keyword in dl-tunables.list. * README.tunables: Document it.
2017-03-24	Update old tunables framework document/script.	Sunyeop Lee	1	-7/+7
	Since commit 8b9e9c3c0bae497ad5e2d0ae2f333f62feddcc12, security_level replaces is_secure. There were some old files need to be updated. 2017-03-23 Sunyeop Lee <sunyeop97@gmail.com> * README.tunables: Updated descriptions. * elf/dl-tunables.list: Fixed typo: SXID_NONE -> NONE. * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Updated the code related to the commit.
2016-12-31	Add framework for tunables	Siddhesh Poyarekar	1	-0/+85
	The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables. Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the compatibility interface. * manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option. * INSTALL: Regenerate. * README.tunables: New file. * Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE. (before-compile): Generate dl-tunable-list.h early. * config.h.in: Add HAVE_TUNABLES. * config.make.in: Add have-tunables. * configure.ac: Add --enable-tunables option. * configure: Regenerate. * csu/init-first.c (__libc_init_first): Move __libc_init_secure earlier... * csu/init-first.c (LIBC_START_MAIN):... to here. Include dl-tunables.h, libc-internal.h. (LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Initialize tunables for static binaries. * elf/Makefile (dl-routines): Add dl-tunables. * elf/Versions (ld): Add __tunable_set_val to GLIBC_PRIVATE namespace. * elf/dl-support (_dl_nondynamic_init): Unset MALLOC_CHECK_ only when !HAVE_TUNABLES. * elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Likewise. * elf/dl-sysdep.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h (_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init. * elf/dl-tunable-types.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.c: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.h: New file. * elf/dl-tunables.list: New file. * malloc/tst-malloc-usable-static.c: New test case. * malloc/Makefile (tests-static): Add it. * malloc/arena.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h.
