elf: Fix GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static builds [BZ #29864]

2023-01-12T16:54:34Z

The 73fc4e28b9464f0e refactor did not add the GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static build, relying on the __ehdr_start symbol, which is always added by the static linker, to get the correct values. This is problematic in some ways: - The segment may see its in-memory size differ from its in-file size (or the binary may have holes). The Linux has fixed is to provide concise values for both AT_PHDR and AT_PHNUM (commit 0da1d5002745c - "fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files") - Some archs (alpha for instance) the hidden weak reference is not correctly pulled by the static linker and __ehdr_start address end up being 0, which makes GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) have both invalid values (and triggering a segfault later on libc.so while accessing TLS variables). The safer fix is to just restore the previous behavior to setup GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static based on kernel auxv. The __ehdr_start fallback can also be simplified by not assuming weak linkage (as for PIE). The libc-static.c auxv init logic is moved to dl-support.c, since the later is build without SHARED and then GLRO macro is defined to access the variables directly. The _dl_phdr is also assumed to be always non NULL, since an invalid NULL values does not trigger TLS initialization (which is used in various libc systems). Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer

Remove kernel version check

2022-05-16T18:03:49Z

The kernel version check is used to avoid glibc to run on older kernels where some syscall are not available and fallback code are not enabled to handle graciously fail. However, it does not prevent if the kernel does not correctly advertise its version through vDSO note, uname or procfs. Also kernel version checks are sometime not desirable by users, where they want to deploy on different system with different kernel version knowing the minimum set of syscall is always presented on such systems. The kernel version check has been removed along with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. The minimum kernel used to built glibc is still provided through NT_GNU_ABI_TAG ELF note and also printed when libc.so is issued. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

elf: Remove __libc_init_secure

2022-04-19T22:52:27Z

After 73fc4e28b9464f0e13edc719a5372839970e7ddb, __libc_enable_secure_decided is always 0 and a statically linked executable may overwrite __libc_enable_secure without considering AT_SECURE. The __libc_enable_secure has been correctly initialized in _dl_aux_init, so just remove __libc_enable_secure_decided and __libc_init_secure. This allows us to remove some startup_get*id functions from 22b79ed7f413cd980a7af0cf258da5bf82b6d5e5. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer

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

elf: Add _dl_audit_preinit

Force building with -fno-common

2021-07-09T18:09:14Z

As a result, is not necessary to specify __attribute__ ((nocommon)) on individual definitions. GCC 10 defaults to -fno-common on all architectures except ARC, but this change is compatible with older GCC versions and ARC, too. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell
