commit d56460c939 introduced this bug by
setting up the tls module chain incorrectly when the main app has tls.
the singly-linked list head pointer was setup correctly, but the tail
pointer was not, so the first attempt to append to the list (for a
shared library with tls) would treat the list as empty and effectively
removed the main app from the list. this left all tls module id
numbers off-by-one.
this bug did not appear in any released versions.
search is only performed if the search or domain keyword is used in
resolv.conf and the queried name has fewer than ndots dots. there is
no default domain and names with >=ndots dots are never subjected to
search; failure in the root scope is final.
the (non-POSIX) res_search API presently does not honor search. this
may be added at some point in the future if needed.
resolv.conf is now parsed twice, at two different layers of the code
involved. this will be fixed in a subsequent patch.
rcode of 3 (NxDomain) was treated as a hard EAI_NONAME failure, but it
should instead return 0 (no results) so the caller can continue
searching. this will be important for adding search domain support.
the top-level caller will automatically return EAI_NONAME if there are
zero results at the end.
also, the case where rcode is 0 (success) but there are no results was
not handled. this happens when the domain exists but there are no A or
AAAA records for it. in this case a hard EAI_NONAME should be imposed
to inhibit further search, since the name was defined and just does
not have any address associated with it. previously a misleading hard
failure of EAI_FAIL was reported.
this change is made in preparation for adding search domains, for
which higher-level code will need to parse resolv.conf. simply parsing
it twice for each lookup would be one reasonable option, but the
existing parser code was buggy anyway, which suggested to me that it's
a bad idea to have two variants of this code in two different places.
the old code in res_msend potentially misinterpreted overly long lines
in resolv.conf, and stopped parsing after it found 3 nameservers, even
if there were relevant options left to be parsed later in the file.
all bits headers that were identical for a number of 'clean' archs are
moved to the new arch/generic tree. in addition, a few headers that
differed only cosmetically from the new generic version are removed.
additional deduplication may be possible in mman.h and in several
headers (limits.h, posix.h, stdint.h) that mostly depend on whether
the arch is 32- or 64-bit, but they are left alone for now because
greater gains are likely possible with more invasive changes to header
logic, which is beyond the scope of this commit.
this sets the stage for the first phase of the bits deduplication.
bits headers which are identical for "most" archs will be moved to
arch/generic/bits.
these changes are motivated by a functionally similar patch by Hauke
Mehrtens to address the needs of the new mips vdso clock_gettime,
which wrongly fails with ENOSYS rather than falling back to making a
syscall for clock ids it cannot handle from userspace. in the process
of preparing to handle that case, it was noticed that the old
clock_gettime use of the vdso was actually wrong with respect to error
handling -- the tail call to the vdso function failed to set errno and
instead returned an error code.
since tail calls to vdso are no longer possible and since the plain
syscall code is now needed as a fallback path anyway, it does not make
sense to use a function pointer to call the plain syscall code path.
instead, it's inlined at the end of the main clock_gettime function.
the new code also avoids the need to test for initialization of the
vdso function pointer by statically initializing it to a self-init
function, and eliminates redundant loads from the volatile pointer
object.
finally, the use of a_cas_p on an object of type other than void *,
which is not permitted aliasing, is replaced by using an object with
the correct type and casting the value.
these were not covered by the parent-level rules with the new build
system. in the old build system, the equivalent files were often in
arch/$(ARCH)/src and likewise lacked the suppression. this could lead
to early crashing (before thread pointer init) when libc itself was
built with stack protector enabled.
now that .lo and .o files differ only by whether -fPIC is passed (and
no longer at the source level based on the SHARED macro), it's
possible to use the same object files for both static and shared libc
when the compiler would produce PIC for the static files anyway. this
happens if the user has included -fPIC in their CFLAGS or if the
compiler has been configured to produce PIE by default.
we use the .lo files for both, and still append -fPIC to the CFLAGS,
rather than using the .o files so that libc.so does not break
catastrophically if the user later removes -fPIC from CFLAGS in
config.mak or on the make command line. this also ensures that we get
full -fPIC in case -fpic, -fPIE, or some other lesser-PIC option was
passed in CFLAGS.
this eliminates the last need for the SHARED macro to control how
files in the src tree are compiled. the same code is used for both
libc.a and libc.so, with additional code for the dynamic linker (from
the new ldso tree) being added to libc.so but not libc.a. separate .o
and .lo object files still exist for the src tree, but the only
difference is that the .lo files are built as PIC.
in the future, if/when we add dlopen support for static-linked
programs, much of the code in dynlink.c may be moved back into the src
tree, but properly factored into separate source files. in that case,
the code in the ldso tree will be reduced to just the dynamic linker
entry point, self-relocation, and loading of libraries needed by the
main application.
the function name is still __-prefixed because it requires an asm
wrapper to pass the caller's address in order for RTLD_NEXT to work.
since this was the last function in dynlink.c still used for static
linking, now the whole file is conditional on SHARED being defined.
the ultimate goal of this change is to get all code used in libc.a out
of dynlink.c, so that the dynamic linker code can be moved to its own
tree and object files in the src tree can all be shared between libc.a
and libc.so.
contrary to commit 89e149d275, big
endian arm does need the instruction bytes in big endian order. rather
than trying to use a special encoding that works as arm or thumb,
simply encode the simplest/canonical undefined instructions dependent
on whether __thumb__ is defined.
the .byte directive encodes a guaranteed-undefined instruction, the
same one Linux fills the kuser helper page with when it's disabled.
the udf mnemonic and and .insn directives are not supported by old
binutils versions, and larger-than-byte integer directives would
produce the wrong output on big-endian.
aarch64 provides ll/sc variants with acquire/release memory order,
freeing us from the need to have full barriers both before and after
the ll/sc operation. previously they were not used because the a_cas
can fail without performing a_sc, in which case half of the barrier
would be omitted. instead, define a custom version of a_cas for
aarch64 which uses a_barrier explicitly when aborting the cas
operation. aside from cas, other operations built on top of ll/sc are
not affected since they never abort but rather loop until they
succeed.
a split ll/sc version of the pointer-sized a_cas_p is also introduced
using the same technique.
patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
commit f3ddd17380, the dynamic linker
bootstrap overhaul, silently disabled the definition of __fpscr_values
in this file since libc.so's copy of __fpscr_values now comes from
crt_arch.h, the same place the public definition in the main program's
crt1.o ultimately comes from. remove this file which is no longer in
use.
previously powerpc had a_cas defined in terms of its native ll/sc
style operations, but all other atomics were defined in terms of
a_cas. instead define a_ll and a_sc so the compiler can generate
optimized versions of all the atomic ops and perform better inlining
of a_cas.
extracting the result of the sc (stwcx.) instruction is rather awkward
because it's natively stored in a condition flag, which is not
representable in inline asm. but even with this limitation the new
code still seems significantly better.
this commit mostly makes consistent things like spacing, function
ordering in atomic_arch.h, argument names, use of volatile, etc.
a_ctz_l was also removed from x86_64 since atomic.h provides it
automatically using a_ctz_64.
this commit mostly makes consistent things like spacing, function
ordering in atomic_arch.h, argument names, use of volatile, etc. the
fake 64-bit and/or atomics are also removed because the shared
atomic.h does a better job of implementing them; it avoids making two
atomic memory accesses when only one 32-bit half needs to be touched.
no major overhaul is needed or possible because x86 actually has
native versions of all the usual atomic operations, rather than using
ll/sc or needing cas loops.
this is possible with the new build system that allows src/*/$(ARCH)/*
files which do not shadow a file in the parent directory, and yields a
more logical organization. eventually it will be possible to remove
arch/*/src from the build system.
switch to ll/sc model so that new atomic.h can provide optimized
versions of all the atomic primitives without needing an ll/sc loop
written in asm for each one.
all isa levels which use ldrex/strex now use the inline ll/sc model
even if the type of barrier to use is not known until runtime (v6).
the cas model is only used for arm v5 and earlier, and it has been
optimized to make the call via inline asm with custom constraints
rather than as a C function call.
sh needs runtime-selected atomic backends since there are a number of
supported models that use non-forwards-compatible (non-smp-compatible)
atomic mechanisms. previously, the code paths for this were highly
inefficient since they involved C function calls with multiple
branches in the callee and heavy spills in the caller. the new code
performs calls the runtime-selected asm fragment from inline asm with
extremely minimal clobbers, rather than using a function call.
for the sh4a case where the atomic mechanism is known and there is no
forward-compatibility issue, the movli.l and movco.l instructions are
provided as a_ll and a_sc, allowing the new shared atomic.h to
generate efficient inline versions of all the basic atomic operations
without needing a cas loop.
rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new
shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions
from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal,
defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared
atomic.h will use to construct everything else.
this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs'
atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or
near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been
removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the
arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take
advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
commit 2f853dd6b9 failed to change the
test for -include vis.h support to use $srcdir, so vis.h was always
disabled by configure for out-of-tree builds.
the lib dir is automatically created if needed by the out-of-tree
build logic, and now that all generated files are in obj and lib,
deleting them is much simpler. using "rm -rf" is also more thorough,
as it picks up object files that were left around from source files
that no longer exist or which are no longer to be used because an
arch-specific replacement file was added or removed.
as of commit af21a82ccc, .sub files are
no longer in use. removing the makefile machinery to handle them not
only cleans up and simplifies the makefile, but also significantly
reduces make's startup time.
commit 2f853dd6b9 failed to replicate
the old makefile logic that caused arch/arm/src/arm/atomics.s to be
built. since this was the only .s file under arch/*/src, rather than
trying to reproduce the old logic, I'm just moving it up a level and
adjusting the glob pattern in the makefile to catch it. eventually
arch/*/src will probably be removed in favor of moving all these files
to appropriate src/*/$(ARCH) locations.
the __SOFTFP__ macro which was wrongly being used does not reflect the
ABI (arm vs armhf) but just the availability of floating point
instructions/registers, so -mfloat-abi=softfp was wrongly being
treated as armhf. __ARM_PCS_VFP is the correct predefined macro to
check for the armhf EABI variant. this macro usage was corrected for
the build process in commit 4918c2bb20
but reloc.h was apparently overlooked at the time.
this makes it possible to inline them with LTO, and is the simplest
approach to eliminating the use of .sub files.
this also makes VFP sqrt available for use with the standard EABI
(plain arm rather than armhf subarch) when libc is built with
-mfloat-abi=softfp. the same could have been done for fabs, but when
the argument and return value are in integer registers, moving to VFP
registers and back is almost certainly more costly than a simple
integer operation.
this depends on commit 9f5eb77992, which
made it possible to use a .c file for arch-specific replacements, and on
commit 2f853dd6b9, the out-of-tree build
support, which made it so that src/*/$(ARCH)/* 'replacement' files get
used even if they don't match the base name of a .c file in the parent
directory.
this allows the rules for .o and .lo files to be identical, with -fPIC
and -DSHARED added for .lo files via target-specific variable append.
this is arguably cleaner now and will allow more cleanup and removal
of redundant rule bodies after other prerequisite changes are made.
previously, replacement files provided in $(ARCH) dirs under src/ had
to be .s files. in order to replace a file with C source, an empty .s
file was needed there to suppress the original file, and a separate .c
file was needed in arch/$(ARCH)/src/.
support for .S is new and is aimed at short-term use eliminating .sub
files. asm source files are still expected not to make any heavy
preprocessor use, just simple conditionals on subarch. eventually most
affected files may be replaced with C source files with minimal inline
asm instead of asm source files.
apparently the .gpword directive does not work reliably with local
text labels; values produced were offset by 64k from the correct
value, resulting in incorrect computation of the got pointer at
runtime. instead, use an external label so that the assembler does not
munge the relocation; the linker will then get it right.
commit 6fef8cafbd exposed this issue by
removing the old, non-PIE-compatible handwritten crt1.s, which was not
affected. presumably mips PIE executables (using Scrt1.o produced from
crt_arch.h) were already affected at the time.
at least gcc 4.7 claims c++11 support but does not accept the alignas
keyword, causing breakage when stddef.h is included in c++11 mode.
instead, prefer using __attribute__((__aligned__)) on any compiler
with GNU extensions, and only use the alignas keyword as a fallback
for other C++ compilers.
C code should not be affected by this patch.
previously, getdelim was allocating twice the space needed every time
it expanded its buffer to implement exponential buffer growth (in
order to avoid quadratic run time). however, this doubling was
performed even when the final buffer length needed was already known,
which is the common case that occurs whenever the delimiter is in the
FILE's buffer.
this patch makes two changes to remedy the situation:
1. over-allocation is no longer performed if the delimiter has already
been found when realloc is needed.
2. growth factor is reduced from 2x to 1.5x to reduce the relative
excess allocation in cases where the delimiter is not initially in the
buffer, including unbuffered streams.
in theory these changes could lead to quadratic time if the same
buffer is reused to process a sequence of lines successively
increasing in length, but once this length exceeds the stdio buffer
size, the delimiter will not be found in the buffer right away and
exponential growth will still kick in.
getdelim was updating *n, the caller's stored buffer size, before
calling realloc. if getdelim then failed due to realloc failure, the
caller would see in *n a value larger than the actual size of the
allocated block, and use of that value is unsafe. in particular,
passing it again to getdelim is unsafe.
now, temporary storage is used for the desired new size, and *n is not
written until realloc succeeds.
this error case was overlooked in the old range checking logic. new
check is moved out of __libc_sigaction to the public wrapper in order
to unify the error path and reduce code size.
commit 8a8fdf6398 was intended to remove
all such usage, but these arch-specific files were overlooked, leading
to inconsistent declarations and definitions.
a conforming compiler for an arch with excess precision floating point
(FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0; presently i386 is the only such arch supported)
computes all intermediate results in the types float_t and double_t
rather than the nominal type of the expression. some incorrect
compilers, however, only keep excess precision in registers, and
convert down to the nominal type when spilling intermediate results to
memory, yielding unpredictable results that depend on the compiler's
choices of what/when to spill. in particular, this happens on old gcc
versions with -ffloat-store, which we need in order to work around
bugs where the compiler wrongly keeps explicitly-dropped excess
precision.
by explicitly converting to double_t where expressions are expected be
be evaluated in double_t precision, we can avoid depending on the
compiler to get types correct when spilling; the nominal and
intermediate precision now match. this commit should not change the
code generated by correct compilers, or by old ones on non-i386 archs
where double_t is defined as double.
this fixes a serious bug in argument reduction observed on i386 with
gcc 4.2: for values of x outside the unit circle, sin(x) was producing
results outside the interval [-1,1]. changes made in commit
0ce946cf80 were likely responsible for
breaking compatibility with this and other old gcc versions.
patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
commit ad1cd43a86 eliminated
preprocessor-level omission of references to the init/fini array
symbols from object files going into libc.so. the references are weak,
and the intent was that the linker would resolve them to zero in
libc.so, but instead it leaves undefined references that could be
satisfied at runtime. normally these references would be harmless,
since the code using them does not even get executed, but some older
binutils versions produce a linking error: when linking a program
against libc.so, ld first tries to use the hidden init/fini array
symbols produced by the linker script to satisfy the references in
libc.so, then produces an error because the definitions are hidden.
ideally ld would have already provided definitions of these symbols
when linking libc.so, but the linker script for -shared omits them.
to avoid this situation, the dynamic linker now provides its own dummy
definitions of the init/fini array symbols for libc.so. since they are
hidden, everything binds at ld time and no references remain in the
dynamic symbol table. with modern binutils and --gc-sections, both
the dummy empty array objects and the code referencing them get
dropped at link time, anyway.
the _init and _fini symbols are also switched back to using weak
definitions rather than weak references since the latter behave
somewhat problematically in general, and the weak definition approach
was known to work well.
the nommu kernel shares memory when it can anyway for private
read-only maps, but semantically the map should be private. this can
make a difference when debugging breakpoints are to be used, in which
case the kernel may need to ensure that the mapping is not shared.
the new behavior matches how the kernel FDPIC loader maps the main
program and/or program interpreter (dynamic linker) binary.
this both allows removal of some of the main remaining uses of the
SHARED macro and clears one obstacle to static-linked dlopen support,
which may be added at some point in the future.
specialized single-TLS-module versions of __copy_tls and __reset_tls
are removed and replaced with code adapted from their dynamic-linked
versions, capable of operating on a whole chain of TLS modules, and
use of the dynamic linker's DSO chain (which contains large struct dso
objects) by these functions is replaced with a new chain of struct
tls_module objects containing only the information needed for
implementing TLS. this may also yield some performance benefit
initializing TLS for a new thread when a large number of modules
without TLS have been loaded, since since there is no need to walk
structures for modules without TLS.
use weak definitions that the dynamic linker can override instead of
preprocessor conditionals on SHARED so that the same libc start and
exit code can be used for both static and dynamic linking.
this was only a tiny optimization, and static-linked binaries should
not be calling __tls_get_addr anyway since the linker is supposed to
perform relaxation, resulting in use of the local-exec TLS model.
this is the first and simplest stage of removal of the SHARED macro,
which will eventually allow libc.a and libc.so to be produced from the
same object files.
the original motivation for these #ifdefs which are now being removed
was to allow building a static-only libc using a compiler that does
not support visibility. however, SHARED was the wrong condition to
test for this anyway; various assembly-language sources refer to
hidden symbols and declare them with the .hidden directive, making it
wrong to define the referenced symbols as non-hidden. if there is a
need in the future to build libc using compilers that lack visibility,
support could be moved to the build system or perhaps the __PIC__
macro could be checked instead of SHARED.
on linux/nommu, non-writable private mappings of files may actually
use memory shared with other processes or the fs cache. the old nommu
loader code (used when mmap with MAP_FIXED fails) simply wrote over
top of the original file mapping, possibly clobbering this shared
memory. no such breakage was observed in practice, but it should have
been possible.
the new code starts by mapping anonymous writable memory on archs that
might support nommu, then maps load segments over top of it, falling
back to read if MAP_FIXED fails. we use an anonymous map rather than a
writable file map to avoid reading more data from disk than needed.
since pages cannot be loaded lazily on fault, in case of large
data/bss, mapping the full file may read a lot of data that will
subsequently be thrown away when processing additional LOAD segments.
as a result, we cannot skip the first LOAD segment when operating in
this mode.
these changes affect only non-FDPIC nommu support.
these files are all accepted as legacy arm syntax when producing arm
code, but legacy syntax cannot be used for producing thumb2 with
access to the full ISA. even after switching to UAL, some asm source
files contain instructions which are not valid in thumb mode, so these
will need to be addressed separately.
the idea of the three-instruction sequence being removed was to be
able to return to thumb code when used on armv4t+ from a thumb caller,
but also to be able to run on armv4 without the bx instruction
available (in which case the low bit of lr would always be 0).
however, without compiler support for generating such a sequence from
C code, which does not exist and which there is unlikely to be
interest in implementing, there is little point in having it in the
asm, and it would likely be easier to add pre-armv4t support via
enhanced linker handling of R_ARM_V4BX than at the compiler level.
removing this code simplifies adding support for building libc in
thumb2-only form (for cortex-m).
the code to save/restore vfp registers needs to build even when the
configured target does not have fpu; this is because code using vfp
fpu (but with the standard soft-float EABI) may call a libc built for
a soft-float only, and the EABI considers these registers call-saved
when they exist. thus, extra directives are used to force the
assembler to allow vfp instructions and to avoid marking the resulting
object files as requiring vfp.
moving away from using hard-coded opcode words is necessary in order
to eventually support producing thumb2-only output for cortex-m.
conditional execution of these instructions based on hwcap flags was
already implemented. when building for arm (non-thumb) output, the
only currently-supported configuration, this commit does not change
the code emitted.
this function is used only as a weak definition for malloc, for static
linking in programs which do not call realloc or free. since it had
external linkage and was thereby exported in libc.so's dynamic symbol
table, --gc-sections was unable to drop it. this was merely an
oversight; there's no reason for it to be external, so make it static.
this allowing the linker to drop certain weak definitions that are
only used as dummies for static linking. they could be eliminated for
shared library builds using the preprocessor instead, but we are
trying to transition to using the same object files for shared and
static libc, so a link-time solution is preferable.
based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. sorting sections and common data
symbols by alignment acts as an approximation for optimal packing,
which the linker does not actually support.
based on patch by Denys Vlasenko. the original intent for using these
options was to enable linking optimizations. these are immediately
available for static linking applications to libc.a, and will also be
used for linking libc.so in a subsequent commit.
in addition to the original motives, this change works around a whole
class of toolchain bugs where the compiler generates relative address
expressions using a weak symbol and the assembler "optimizes out" the
relocation which should result by using the weak definition. (see gas
pr 18561 and gcc pr 66609, 68178, etc. for examples.) by having
different functions and data objects in their own sections, all
relative address expressions are cross-section and thus cannot be
resolved to constants until link time. this allows us to retain
support for affected compiler/assembler versions without invasive
and fragile source-level workarounds.
this assumption is borderline-unsafe to begin with, and fails badly
with -ffunction-sections since the linker can move the callee
arbitrarily far away when it lies in a different section.
this way, overriding these variables on the make command line (or just
re-passing the originally-passed values when invoking make) won't
suppress use of the flags added by configure.
since mremap with the MREMAP_FIXED flag is an operation that unmaps
existing mappings, it needs to use the vm lock mechanism to ensure
that any in-progress synchronization operations using vm identities
from before the call have finished.
also, the variadic argument was erroneously being read even if the
MREMAP_FIXED flag was not passed. in practice this didn't break
anything, but it's UB and in theory LTO could turn it into a hard
error.
previously, only archs that needed to do stack cleanup defined a
__cp_cancel label for acting on cancellation in their syscall asm, and
a default definition was provided by a weak alias to __cancel, the C
function. this resulted in wrong codegen for arm on gcc versions
affected by pr 68178 and possibly similar issues (like pr 66609) on
other archs, and also created an inconsistency where the __cp_begin
and __cp_end labels were treated as const data but __cp_cancel was
treated as a function. this in turn caused incorrect code generation
on archs where function pointers point to function descriptors rather
than code (for now, only sh/fdpic).
using the actual mcontext_t definition rather than an overlaid pointer
array both improves correctness/readability and eliminates some ugly
hacks for archs with 64-bit registers bit 32-bit program counter.
also fix UB due to comparison of pointers not in a common array
object.
when a library being loaded has bss (i.e. data segment with
p_memsz>p_filesz), this region needs to be zeroed with a combination
of memset and/or mmap. the regular ELF loader always did this but the
FDPIC code path omitted it, leading to objects in bss having
uninitialized/junk contents.
previously, transient failures like fd exhaustion or other
resource-related errors were treated the same as non-existence of
these files, leading to fallbacks or false-negative results. in
particular:
- failure to open hosts resulted in fallback to dns, possibly yielding
EAI_NONAME for a hostname that should be defined locally, or an
unwanted result from dns that the hosts file was intended to
replace.
- failure to open services resulted in EAI_SERVICE.
- failure to open resolv.conf resulted in querying localhost rather
than the configured nameservers.
now, only permanent errors trigger the fallback behaviors above; all
other errors are reportable to the caller as EAI_SYSTEM.
the buffer enlargement logic here accounted for the terminating null
byte, but not for the possibility of hitting the delimiter in the
buffer-refill code path that uses getc_unlocked, in which case two
additional bytes (the delimiter and the null termination) are written
without another chance to enlarge the buffer.
this patch and the corresponding bug report are by Felix Janda.
the option to suppress executable stack tagging was placed in CFLAGS,
which is treated as optional and overridable by the build system. if a
user replaces CFLAGS after configure has run, it could get lost,
resulting in a libc.so that's flagged as needing executable stack,
which would cause the kernel to map the initial stack as executable.
move -Wa,--noexecstack to CFLAGS_C99FSE, the make variable used for
mandatory compiler options.
these per-target CFLAGS adjustments are mandatory additions to the
command line for building the affected targets, not part of the
user-provided CFLAGS for tuning. my intent was always that the
variable append operations would take place after user settings, but
when a variable is set on the command line, it overrides all
definitions in the makefile, including target-specific ones.
based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
when determining which module an address belongs to, all function
descriptor ranges must be checked first, in case the allocated memory
falls inside another module's memory range.
dladdr itself must also check addresses against function descriptors
before doing a best-match search against the symbol table. even when
doing the latter (e.g. for code addresses obtained from mcontext_t),
also check whether the best-match was a function, and if so, replace
the result with a function descriptor address. which is the nominal
"base address" of the function and which the caller needs if it
intends to subsequently call the matching function.
since commits 2907afb8db and
6fc30c2493, __dls2 is no longer called
via symbol lookup, but instead uses relative addressing that needs to
be resolved at link time. on some linker versions, and/or if
-Bsymbolic-functions is not used, the linker may leave behind a
dynamic relocation, which is not suitable for bootstrapping the
dynamic linker, if the reference to __dls2 is marked hidden but the
definition is not actually hidden. correcting the definition to use
hidden visibility fixes the problem.
the static-PIE entry point rcrt1 was likewise affected and is also
fixed by this patch.
we need access to all instructions in order for runtime selection of
atomic model to work correctly. without this patch, some versions of
gcc instruct gas to reject instructions outside the target isa level.
other archs use asm for the thread pointer load, so making that asm
volatile is sufficient to inform the compiler that it has a "side
effect" (crashing or giving the wrong result if the thread pointer was
not yet initialized) that prevents reordering. however, powerpc and
or1k have dedicated general purpose registers for the thread pointer
and did not need to use any asm to access it; instead, "local register
variables with a specified register" were used. however, there is no
specification for ordering constraints on this type of usage, and
presumably use of the thread pointer could be reordered across its
initialization.
to impose an ordering, I have added empty volatile asm blocks that
produce the "local register variable with a specified register" as
an output constraint.
this builds on commits a603a75a72 and
0ba35d69c0 to ensure that a compiler
cannot conclude that it's valid to reorder the asm to a point before
the thread pointer is set up, or to treat the inline function as if it
were declared with attribute((const)).
other archs already use volatile asm for thread pointer loading.
strftime results are unspecified in this case, but should not invoke
undefined behaviour.
tm_wday, tm_yday, tm_mon and tm_year fields were used in signed int
arithmetic that could overflow.
based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
