2024-02-17Linux: Switch back to assembly syscall wrapper for prctl (bug 29770)Florian Weimer1-45/+0
Commit ff026950e280bc3e9487b41b460fb31bc5b57721 ("Add a C wrapper for prctl [BZ #25896]") replaced the assembler wrapper with a C function. However, on powerpc64le-linux-gnu, the C variadic function implementation requires extra work in the caller to set up the parameter save area. Calling a function that needs a parameter save area without one (because the prototype used indicates the function is not variadic) corrupts the caller's stack. The Linux manual pages project documents prctl as a non-variadic function. This has resulted in various projects over the years using non-variadic prototypes, including the sanitizer libraries in LLVm and GCC (GCC PR 113728). This commit switches back to the assembler implementation on most targets and only keeps the C implementation for x86-64 x32. Also add the __prctl_time64 alias from commit b39ffab860cd743a82c91946619f1b8158b0b65e ("Linux: Add time64 alias for prctl") to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list; it was not yet present in commit ff026950e280bc3e9487b41b460fb31bc5b57721. This restores the old ABI on powerpc64le-linux-gnu, thus fixing bug 29770. Reviewed-By: Simon Chopin <simon.chopin@canonical.com>

I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines
