2023-10-30crypt: Remove libcrypt supportAdhemerval Zanella1-65/+0
All the crypt related functions, cryptographic algorithms, and make requirements are removed, with only the exception of md5 implementation which is moved to locale folder since it is required by localedef for integrity protection (libc's locale-reading code does not check these, but localedef does generate them). Besides thec code itself, both internal documentation and the manual is also adjusted. This allows to remove both --enable-crypt and --enable-nss-crypt configure options. Checked with a build for all affected ABIs. Co-authored-by: Zack Weinberg <zack@owlfolio.org> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

2023-07-05Allow glibc to be built with _FORTIFY_SOURCEFrédéric Bérat1-18/+42
Add --enable-fortify-source option. It is now possible to enable fortification through a configure option. The level may be given as parameter, if none is provided, the configure script will determine what is the highest level possible that can be set considering GCC built-ins availability and set it. If level is explicitly set to 3, configure checks if the compiler supports the built-in function necessary for it or raise an error if it isn't. If the configure option isn't explicitly enabled, it _FORTIFY_SOURCE is forcibly undefined (and therefore disabled). The result of the configure checks are new variables, ${fortify_source} and ${no_fortify_source} that can be used to appropriately populate CFLAGS. A dedicated patch will follow to make use of this variable in Makefiles when necessary. Updated NEWS and INSTALL. Adding dedicated x86_64 variant that enables the configuration.

2022-10-28Correctly determine libc.so 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' when cross-compiling.Ludovic Courtès1-0/+1
Commit 87d583c6e8cd0e49f64da76636ebeec033298b4d replaces the sed script with an "objdump -f" invocation to determine the 'OUTPUT_FORMAT' bit of the libc.so linker script. However, when cross-compiling, for example from x86_64-linux-gnu to aarch64-linux-gnu, "objdump -f" would report the wrong format ("elf64-little"). Conversely, "aarch64-linux-gnu-objdump -f" reports "elf64-littleaarch64" as expected. This patch changes 'configure.ac' to use AC_CHECK_TOOL rather than '$CC -print-prog-name=objdump' to determine the value of the OBJDUMP variable. That way, OBJDUMP is set to TRIPLET-objdump when cross-compiling for TRIPLET. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
2022-08-25Revert "Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startup"Florian Weimer1-5/+0
This reverts commit 6f85dbf102ad7982409ba0fe96886caeb6389fef. Once this change hits the release branches, it will require relinking of all statically linked applications before static dlopen works again, for the majority of updates on release branches: The NEWS file is regularly updated with bug references, so the __libc_early_init suffix changes, and static dlopen cannot find the function anymore. While this ABI check is still technically correct (we do require rebuilding & relinking after glibc updates to keep static dlopen working), it is too drastic for stable release branches.

2022-08-24Detect ld.so and libc.so version inconsistency during startupFlorian Weimer1-0/+5
The files NEWS, include/link.h, and sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h contribute to the version fingerprint used for detection. The fingerprint can be further refined using the --with-extra-version-id configure argument. _dl_call_libc_early_init is replaced with _dl_lookup_libc_early_init. The new function is used store a pointer to libc.so's __libc_early_init function in the libc_map_early_init member of the ld.so namespace structure. This function pointer can then be called directly, so the separate invocation function is no longer needed. The versioned symbol lookup needs the symbol versioning data structures, so the initialization of libc_map and libc_map_early_init is now done from _dl_check_map_versions, after this information becomes available. (_dl_map_object_from_fd does not set this up in time, so the initialization code had to be moved from there.) This means that the separate initialization code can be removed from dl_main because _dl_check_map_versions covers all maps, including the initial executable loaded by the kernel. The lookup still happens before relocation and the invocation of IFUNC resolvers, so IFUNC resolvers are protected from ABI mismatch. The __libc_early_init function pointer is not protected because so little code runs between the pointer write and the invocation (only dynamic linker code and IFUNC resolvers).

2022-04-26elf: Support DT_RELR relative relocation format [BZ #27924]Fangrui Song1-0/+5
PIE and shared objects usually have many relative relocations. In 2017/2018, SHT_RELR/DT_RELR was proposed on https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/bX460iggiKg/m/GxjM0L-PBAAJ ("Proposal for a new section type SHT_RELR") and is a pre-standard. RELR usually takes 3% or smaller space than R_*_RELATIVE relocations. The virtual memory size of a mostly statically linked PIE is typically 5~10% smaller. --- Notes I will not include in the submitted commit: Available on https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/maskray/relr "pre-standard": even Solaris folks are happy with the refined generic-abi proposal. Cary Coutant will apply the change https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2021-October/131781.html This patch is simpler than Chrome OS's glibc patch and makes ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELR available to all ports. I don't think the current glibc implementation supports ia64 in an ELFCLASS32 container. That said, the style I used is works with an ELFCLASS32 container for 64-bit machine if ElfW(Addr) is 64-bit. * Chrome OS folks have carried a local patch since 2018 (latest version: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/refs/heads/main/sys-libs/glibc/files/local/glibc-2.32). I.e. this feature has been battle tested. * Android bionic supports 2018 and switched to DT_RELR==36 in 2020. * The Linux kernel has supported CONFIG_RELR since 2019-08 (https://git.kernel.org/linus/5cf896fb6be3effd9aea455b22213e27be8bdb1d). * A musl patch (by me) exists but is not applied: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2019/03/06/3 * rtld-elf from FreeBSD 14 will support DT_RELR. I believe upstream glibc should support DT_RELR to benefit all Linux distributions. I filed some feature requests to get their attention: * Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/818376 * Arch Linux: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72433 * Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=996598 * Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2014699 As of linker support (to the best of my knowledge): * LLD support DT_RELR. * https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/chromiumos-overlay/+/refs/heads/main/sys-devel/binutils/files/ has a gold patch. * GNU ld feature request https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27923 Changes from the original patch: 1. Check the linker option, -z pack-relative-relocs, which add a GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR symbol version dependency on the shared C library if it provides a GLIBC_2.XX symbol version. 2. Change make variale to have-dt-relr. 3. Rename tst-relr-no-pie to tst-relr-pie for --disable-default-pie. 4. Use TEST_VERIFY in tst-relr.c. 5. Add the check-tst-relr-pie.out test to check for linker generated libc.so version dependency on GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR. 6. Move ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_RELR before ELF_DYNAMIC_DO_REL.

Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building programs as PIE. Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default because they do not work at the moment. hppa, ia64, alpha and csky don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation generated from PIE objects. The microblaze compiler is currently failing with an ICE. GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does not work and hence fails. All these targets have default PIE disabled at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE on their targets. build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets.

Commit 68ab82f56690ada86ac1e0c46bad06ba189a10ef added support for the scv syscall ABI on powerpc. Since then systems that have kernel and processor support started using scv. However adding the proper support for a new syscall ABI requires changes to several other projects (e.g. qemu, valgrind, strace, kernel), which are gradually receiving support. Meanwhile, having a way to disable scv on glibc at build time can be useful for distros that may encounter conflicts with projects that still do not support the scv ABI, buying time until proper support is added.

2021-03-25Support for multiple versions in versioned_symbol, compat_symbolFlorian Weimer1-0/+23
This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into compat_symbol. This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol. Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed. The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols, due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter to dynamic linking. The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than introducing yet another macro. A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static had to be removed from the definition of __libpthread_version_placeholder.

Sun RPC was removed from glibc. This includes rpcgen program, librpcsvc, and Sun RPC headers. Also test for bug #20790 was removed (test for rpcgen). Backward compatibility for old programs is kept only for architectures and ABIs that have been added in or before version 2.28. libtirpc is mature enough, librpcsvc and rpcgen are provided in rpcsvc-proto project. NOTE: libnsl code depends on Sun RPC (installed libnsl headers use installed Sun RPC headers), thus --enable-obsolete-rpc was a dependency for --enable-obsolete-nsl (removed in a previous commit). The arc ABI list file has to be updated because the port was added with the sunrpc symbols Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
2020-07-08Remove --enable-obsolete-nsl configure flagPetr Vorel1-11/+0
this means that *always* libnsl is only built as shared library for backward compatibility and the NSS modules libnss_nis and libnss_nisplus are not built at all, libnsl's headers aren't installed. This compatibility is kept only for architectures and ABIs that have been added in or before version 2.28. Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>. This change does not affect libnss_compat which does not depended on libnsl since 2.27 and thus can be used without NIS. libnsl code depends on Sun RPC, e.g. on --enable-obsolete-rpc (installed libnsl headers use installed Sun RPC headers), which will be removed in the following commit.
2020-05-18Remove NO_CTORS_DTORS_SECTIONS macroFlorian Weimer1-30/+0
This was originally added to support binutils older than version 2.22: <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2010-12/msg00051.html> Since 2.22 is older than the minimum required binutils version for building glibc, we no longer need this. (The changes do not impact the statically linked startup code.)
