2024-10-08stdlib: Make abort/_Exit AS-safe (BZ 26275)Adhemerval Zanella1-0/+11
The recursive lock used on abort does not synchronize with a new process creation (either by fork-like interfaces or posix_spawn ones), nor it is reinitialized after fork(). Also, the SIGABRT unblock before raise() shows another race condition, where a fork or posix_spawn() call by another thread, just after the recursive lock release and before the SIGABRT signal, might create programs with a non-expected signal mask. With the default option (without POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF), the process can see SIG_DFL for SIGABRT, where it should be SIG_IGN. To fix the AS-safe, raise() does not change the process signal mask, and an AS-safe lock is used if a SIGABRT is installed or the process is blocked or ignored. With the signal mask change removal, there is no need to use a recursive loc. The lock is also taken on both _Fork() and posix_spawn(), to avoid the spawn process to see the abort handler as SIG_DFL. A read-write lock is used to avoid serialize _Fork and posix_spawn execution. Both sigaction (SIGABRT) and abort() requires to lock as writer (since both change the disposition). The fallback is also simplified: there is no need to use a loop of ABORT_INSTRUCTION after _exit() (if the syscall does not terminate the process, the system is broken). The proposed fix changes how setjmp works on a SIGABRT handler, where glibc does not save the signal mask. So usage like the below will now always abort. static volatile int chk_fail_ok; static jmp_buf chk_fail_buf; static void handler (int sig) { if (chk_fail_ok) { chk_fail_ok = 0; longjmp (chk_fail_buf, 1); } else _exit (127); } [...] signal (SIGABRT, handler); [....] chk_fail_ok = 1; if (! setjmp (chk_fail_buf)) { // Something that can calls abort, like a failed fortify function. chk_fail_ok = 0; printf ("FAIL\n"); } Such cases will need to use sigsetjmp instead. The _dl_start_profile calls sigaction through _profil, and to avoid pulling abort() on loader the call is replaced with __libc_sigaction. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.

2022-06-30Refactor internal-signals.hAdhemerval Zanella1-5/+5
The main drive is to optimize the internal usage and required size when sigset_t is embedded in other data structures. On Linux, the current supported signal set requires up to 8 bytes (16 on mips), was lower than the user defined sigset_t (128 bytes). A new internal type internal_sigset_t is added, along with the functions to operate on it similar to the ones for sigset_t. The internal-signals.h is also refactored to remove unused functions Besides small stack usage on some functions (posix_spawn, abort) it lower the struct pthread by about 120 bytes (112 on mips). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Arjun Shankar <arjun@redhat.com>

2021-10-01nptl: pthread_kill must send signals to a specific thread [BZ #28407]Florian Weimer1-3/+1
The choice between the kill vs tgkill system calls is not just about the TID reuse race, but also about whether the signal is sent to the whole process (and any thread in it) or to a specific thread. This was caught by the openposix test suite: LTP: openposix test suite - FAIL: SIGUSR1 is member of new thread pendingset. <https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-tests/-/issues/764> Fixes commit 526c3cf11ee9367344b6b15d669e4c3cb461a2be ("nptl: Fix race between pthread_kill and thread exit (bug 12889)").

2021-09-20nptl: pthread_kill needs to return ESRCH for old programs (bug 19193)Florian Weimer1-8/+29
The fix for bug 19193 breaks some old applications which appear to use pthread_kill to probe if a thread is still running, something that is not supported by POSIX.
2021-09-13nptl: Fix race between pthread_kill and thread exit (bug 12889)Florian Weimer1-25/+40
A new thread exit lock and flag are introduced. They are used to detect that the thread is about to exit or has exited in __pthread_kill_internal, and the signal is not sent in this case. The test sysdeps/pthread/tst-pthread_cancel-select-loop.c is derived from a downstream test originally written by Marek Polacek. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
2021-09-13nptl: pthread_kill, pthread_cancel should not fail after exit (bug 19193)Florian Weimer1-1/+6
This closes one remaining race condition related to bug 12889: if the thread already exited on the kernel side, returning ESRCH is not correct because that error is reserved for the thread IDs (pthread_t values) whose lifetime has ended. In case of a kernel-side exit and a valid thread ID, no signal needs to be sent and cancellation does not have an effect, so just return 0. sysdeps/pthread/tst-kill4.c triggers undefined behavior and is removed with this commit.

2021-06-09nptl: Use pthread_kill on pthread_cancelAdhemerval Zanella1-6/+12
It consolidates the tgkill call and it is the first step of making pthread_cancel async-signal-safe. It also fix a possible issue where the 'struct pthread' tid is not read atomically, which might send an invalid cancellation signal (similar to what db988e50a87f613cb6b9e98a2fc66a4848bc3546 fixed for pthread_join). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
2021-06-09nptl: Implement raise in terms of pthread_killAdhemerval Zanella1-13/+29
Now that pthread_kill is provided by libc.so it is possible to implement the generic POSIX implementation as 'pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig)'. For Linux implementation, pthread_kill read the targeting TID from the TCB. For raise, this it not possible because it would make raise fail when issue after vfork (where creates the resulting process has a different TID from the parent, but its TCB is not updated as for pthread_create). To make raise use pthread_kill, it is make usable from vfork by getting the target thread id through gettid syscall. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.

2021-03-12nptl: Move Linux pthread_kill to nptlAdhemerval Zanella1-9/+17
