mtrace: make shell commands robust against meta characters

Use the list form of the open function to avoid interpreting meta characters in the arguments.

malloc: Replace shell/Perl gate in mtrace

2024-06-20T18:55:10Z

The previous version expanded $0 and $@ twice. The new version defines a q no-op shell command. The Perl syntax error is masked by the eval Perl function. The q { … } construct is executed by the shell without errors because the q shell function was defined, but treated as a non-expanding quoted string by Perl, effectively hiding its context from the Perl interpreter. As before the script is read by require instead of executed directly, to avoid infinite recursion because the #! line contains /bin/sh. Introduce the “fatal” function to produce diagnostics that are not suppressed by “do”. Use “do” instead of “require” because it has fewer requirements on the executed script than “require”. Prefix relative paths with './' because “do” (and “require“ before) searches for the script in @INC if the path is relative and does not start with './'. Use $_ to make the trampoline shorter. Add an Emacs mode marker to indentify the script as a Perl script.

malloc: Always install mtrace (bug 31892)

2024-06-20T08:32:16Z

Generation of the Perl script does not depend on Perl, so we can always install it even if $(PERL) is not set during the build. Change the malloc/mtrace.pl text substition not to rely on $(PERL). Instead use PATH at run time to find the Perl interpreter. The Perl interpreter cannot execute directly a script that starts with “#! /bin/sh”: it always executes it with /bin/sh. There is no perl command line switch to disable this behavior. Instead, use the Perl require function to execute the script. The additional shift calls remove the “.” shell arguments. Perl interprets the “.” as a string concatenation operator, making the expression syntactically valid. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell

malloc: New test to check malloc alternate path using memory obstruction

2024-06-04T16:00:29Z

The test aims to ensure that malloc uses the alternate path to allocate memory when sbrk() or brk() fails.To achieve this, the test first creates an obstruction at current program break, tests that obstruction with a failing sbrk(), then checks if malloc is still returning a valid ptr thus inferring that malloc() used mmap() instead of brk() or sbrk() to allocate the memory.

malloc: Improve aligned_alloc and calloc test coverage.

2024-05-14T14:36:50Z

Add a DSO (malloc/tst-aligned_alloc-lib.so) that can be used during testing to interpose malloc with a call that randomly uses either aligned_alloc, __libc_malloc, or __libc_calloc in the place of malloc. Use LD_PRELOAD with the DSO to mirror malloc/tst-malloc.c testing as an example in malloc/tst-malloc-random.c. Add malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random.c as another example that does a number of malloc calls with randomly sized, but limited to 0xffff, requests. The intention is to be able to utilize existing malloc testing to ensure that similar allocation APIs are also exposed to the same rigors. Reviewed-by: DJ Delorie

Make __getrandom_nocancel set errno and add a _nostatus version

2024-01-12T13:23:11Z

The __getrandom_nocancel function returns errors as negative values instead of errno. This is inconsistent with other _nocancel functions and it breaks "TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY (__getrandom_nocancel (p, n, 0))" in __arc4random_buf. Use INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL instead of INTERNAL_SYSCALL_CALL to fix this issue. But __getrandom_nocancel has been avoiding from touching errno for a reason, see BZ 29624. So add a __getrandom_nocancel_nostatus function and use it in tcache_key_initialize. Signed-off-by: Xi Ruoyao Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella Signed-off-by: Andreas K. Hüttel
