Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights

2022-01-01T19:40:24Z

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_find_object function

2021-12-28T21:52:56Z

It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal _dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr). _dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503. If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does not pick up ld.so). It is necessary to do the i386 customization in the sysdeps/x86/bits/dl_find_object.h header shared with x86-64 because otherwise, multilib installations are broken. The implementation uses software transactional memory, as suggested by Torvald Riegel. Two copies of the supporting data structures are used, also achieving full async-signal-safety.

dlfcn: Rework static dlopen hooks

2021-06-03T07:12:05Z

Consolidate all hooks structures into a single one. There are no static dlopen ABI concerns because glibc 2.34 already comes with substantial ABI-incompatible changes in this area. (Static dlopen requires the exact same dynamic glibc version that was used for static linking.) The new approach uses a pointer to the hooks structure into _rtld_global_ro and initalizes it in __rtld_static_init. This avoids a back-and-forth with various callback functions.

elf: Initialize GLRO (dl_minsigstacksize) after static dlopen

2021-05-20T16:56:42Z

This is another field of _rtld_global_ro that benefits from initialization in __rtld_static_init. Reviewed-by: H.J. Lu

elf: Move static TLS size and alignment into _rtld_global_ro

2021-05-17T08:17:41Z

This helps to clarify that the caching of these fields in libpthread (in __static_tls_size, __static_tls_align_m1) is unnecessary. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella

elf: Partially initialize ld.so after static dlopen (bug 20802)

2021-05-17T08:06:57Z

After static dlopen, a copy of ld.so is loaded into the inner namespace, but that copy is not initialized at all. Some architectures run into serious problems as result, which is why the _dl_var_init mechanism was invented. With libpthread moving into libc and parts into ld.so, more architectures impacted, so it makes sense to switch to a generic mechanism which performs the partial initialization. As a result, getauxval now works after static dlopen (bug 20802). Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella
