this commit covers all remaining ioctls I'm aware of that use
time_t-derived types in their interfaces. it may still be incomplete,
and has undergone only minimal testing for a few commands used in
audio playback.
the SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR command is special-cased because, rather
than the whole structure expanding, it has two substructures each
padded to 64 bytes that expand within their own 64-byte reserved zone.
as long as it's the only one of its type, it doesn't really make sense
to make a general framework for it, but the existing table framework
is still used for the substructures in the special-case. one of the
substructures, snd_pcm_mmap_status, has a snd_pcm_uframes_t member
which is not a timestamp but is expanded just like one, to match the
64-bit-arch version of the structure. this is handled just like a
timestamp at offset 8, and is the motivation for the conversions table
holding offsets of individual values to be expanded rather than
timespec/timeval type pairs.
for some of the types, the size to which they expand is dependent on
whether the arch's ABI aligns 8-byte types on 8-byte boundaries.
new_req entries in the table need to reflect this size to get the
right ioctl request number that will match what callers pass, but we
don't have access to the actual structure type definitions here and
duplicating them would be cumbersome. instead, the new_misaligned
macro introduced here constructs an artificial object whose size is
the result of expanding a misaligned timespec/timeval to 64-bit and
imposing the arch's alignment on the result, which can be passed to
the _IO{R,W,WR} macros.
record offsets of individual slots that expand from 32- to 64-bit,
rather than timespec/timeval pairs. this flexibility will be needed
for some ioctls. reduce size of types in table. adjust representation
of offsets to include a count rather than needing -1 padding so that
the table is less ugly and doesn't need large diffs if we increase max
number of slots.
with the current set of supported ioctls, this conversion is hardly an
improvement, but it sets the stage for being able to do alsa, v4l2,
ppp, and other ioctls with timespec/timeval-derived types. without
this capability, a lot of functionality users depend on would stop
working with the time64 switchover.
commit b60fdf133c broke the
SIOCGSTAMP[NS] ioctl fallbacks introduced in commit
2e554617e5, as well as use of these
ioctls, by creating a situation where bits/ioctl.h could be included
without __LONG_MAX being visible.
always try the time64 syscall first since we can use its success to
conclude that no conversion is needed (any setsockopt for the
timestamp options would have succeeded without need for fallbacks).
otherwise, we have to remember the original controllen for each
msghdr, requiring O(vlen) space, so vlen must be bounded. linux clamps
it to IOV_MAX for sendmmsg only (not recvmmsg), but doing the same for
recvmmsg is not unreasonable, especially since the limitation will
only apply to old kernels.
we could optimize to avoid trying SYS_recvmmsg_time64 first if all
msghdrs have controllen zero, or support unlimited vlen by looping and
emulating the timeout logic, but I'm not inclined to do complex and
error-prone optimizations on a function that has so many underlying
problems it should really never be used.
the definitions of SO_TIMESTAMP* changed on 32-bit archs in commit
3814333964 to the new versions that
provide 64-bit versions of timeval/timespec structure in control
message payload. socket options, being state attached to the socket
rather than function calls, are not trivial to implement as fallbacks
on ENOSYS, and support for them was initially omitted on the
assumption that the ioctl-based polling alternatives (SIOCGSTAMP*)
could be used instead by applications if setsockopt fails.
unfortunately, it turns out that SO_TIMESTAMP is sufficiently old and
widely supported that a number of applications assume it's available
and treat errors as fatal.
this patch introduces emulation of SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] on pre-time64
kernels by falling back to setting the "_OLD" (time32) versions of the
options if the time64 ones are not recognized, and performing
translation of the SCM_TIMESTAMP[NS] control messages in recvmsg.
since recvmsg does not know whether its caller is legacy time32 code
or time64, it performs translation for any SCM_TIMESTAMP[NS]_OLD
control messages it sees, leaving the original time32 timestamp as-is
(it can't be rewritten in-place anyway, and memmove would be mildly
expensive) and appending the converted time64 control message at the
end of the buffer. legacy time32 callers will see the converted one as
a spurious control message of unknown type; time64 callers running on
pre-time64 kernels will see the original one as a spurious control
message of unknown type. a time64 caller running on a kernel with
native time64 support will only see the time64 version of the control
message.
emulation of SO_TIMESTAMPING is not included at this time since (1)
applications which use it seem to be prepared for the possibility that
it's not present or working, and (2) it can also be used in sendmsg
control messages, in a manner that looks complex to emulate
completely, and costly even when running on a time64-supporting
kernel.
corresponding changes in recvmmsg are not made at this time; they will
be done separately.
linux/input.h and perhaps others use this macro to determine whether
the userspace time_t is 64-bit when potentially defining types in
terms of time_t and derived structures. the name __USE_TIME_BITS64 is
unfortunate; it really should have been in the __UAPI namespace. but
this is what was chosen back in v4.16 when first preparing input.h for
time64 userspace, presumably based on expectations about what the
glibc-internal features.h macro for time64 would be, and changing it
now would just put a new minimum version requirement on kernel
headers.
the __USE_TIME_BITS64 macro is not intended as a public interface. it
is purely an internal contract between libc and Linux uapi headers.
this interface permits a null pointer for where to store the old
itimerval being replaced. an early version of the time32 compat shim
code had corresponding bugs for lots of functions; apparently
setitimer was overlooked when fixing them.
commit 4d3a162d00 overlooked that the
mips64 reloc.h dependent on endian.h not only for setting the ABI ldso
name to match the byte order, but also for use of the byte swapping
macros. they are needed to override R_TYPE, R_SYM, and R_INFO, to
compensate for a mips "quirk" of always using big endian order for
symbol references in relocations.
part of that commit canot be reverted because the original code was
wrong: it's invalid to define _GNU_SOURCE or any feature test macro
in reloc.h, or anywhere except at the top of a source file. however,
thanks to commit 316730cdc7, the feature
test macro is no longer needed to access the endian-swapping macros,
so simply bringing back the #include directive suffices.
commit de90f38e3b omitted $(srcdir) from
the makefile include pathname it added. since the include directive
was prefixed with - to make it optional (for archs that don't use it),
the failure to find arch/$(ARCH)/arch.mak was silent.
in commit 22daaea39f, the
__dlsym_redir_time64 function providing the backend for __dlsym_time64
was defined only in the dynamic linker, and thus was undefined when
static linking a program referencing dlsym. use the same stub_dlsym
definition that provides __dlsym (the non-redirecting backend) for
static linked programs to provide it, conditional on _REDIR_TIME64.
now that all 32-bit archs have 64-bit time_t (and suseconds_t), the
arch-provided _Int64 macro (long or long long, as appropriate) can be
used to define them, and arch-specific definitions are no longer
needed.
now that all 32-bit archs have 64-bit time types, the values for the
time-related ioctls can be shared. the mechanism for this is an
arch/generic version of the bits header. archs which don't use the
generic header still need to duplicate the definitions.
x32, which does not use the new time64 values of the macros, already
has its own overrides, so this commit does not affect it.
now that all 32-bit archs have 64-bit time types, the values for the
time-related socket option macros can be treated as universal for
32-bit archs. the sys/socket.h mechanism for this predates
arch/generic and is instead in the top-level header.
x32, which does not use the new time64 values of the macros, already
has its own overrides, so this commit does not affect it.
this commit preserves ABI fully for existing interface boundaries
between libc and libc consumers (applications or libraries), by
retaining existing symbol names for the legacy 32-bit interfaces and
redirecting sources compiled against the new headers to alternate
symbol names. this does not necessarily, however, preserve the
pairwise ABI of libc consumers with one another; where they use
time_t-derived types in their interfaces with one another, it may be
necessary to synchronize updates with each other.
the intent is that ABI resulting from this commit already be stable
and permanent, but it will not be officially so until a release is
made. changes to some header-defined types that do not play any role
in the ABI between libc and its consumers may still be subject to
change.
mechanically, the changes made by this commit for each 32-bit arch are
as follows:
- _REDIR_TIME64 is defined to activate the symbol redirections in
public headers
- COMPAT_SRC_DIRS is defined in arch.mak to activate build of ABI
compat shims to serve as definitions for the original symbol names
- time_t and suseconds_t definitions are changed to long long (64-bit)
- IPC_STAT definition is changed to add the IPC_TIME64 bit (0x100),
triggering conversion of semid_ds, shmid_ds, and msqid_ds split
low/high time bits into new time_t members
- structs semid_ds, shmid_ds, msqid_ds, and stat are modified to add
new 64-bit time_t/timespec members at the end, maintaining existing
layout of other members.
- socket options (SO_*) and ioctl (sockios) command macros are
redefined to use the kernel's "_NEW" values.
in addition, on archs where vdso clock_gettime is used, the
VDSO_CGT_SYM macro definition in syscall_arch.h is changed to use a
new time64 vdso function if available, and a new VDSO_CGT32_SYM macro
is added for use as fallback on kernels lacking time64.
these definitions are copied from generic bits/ioctl.h, so that x32
keeps the "_OLD" versions (which are already time64 on x32) when
32-bit archs switch to 64-bit time_t.
these definitions are merely copied from the top-level sys/socket.h,
so there is no functional change at this time. however, the top-level
definitions will change to use the time64 "_NEW" versions on 32-bit
archs when time_t is switched over to 64-bit. this commit ensures that
change will be suppressed on x32.
these structures can now be defined generically in terms of endianness
and long size. previously, the 32-bit archs all shared a common
definition from the generic bits header, and each 64-bit arch had to
repeat the 64-bit version, with endian conditionals if the arch had
variants of each endianness.
I would prefer getting rid of the preprocessor conditionals for
padding and instead using unnamed bitfield members, like commit
9b2921bea1 did for struct timespec.
however, at present sendmsg, recvmsg, and recvmmsg need access to the
padding members by name to zero them. this could perhaps be cleaned up
in the future.
being that it contains pointers and (from the kernel perspective,
which is wrong) size_t members, x32 uses the 32-bit version of the
structure, not a half-32-bit, half-64-bit layout like we had here. the
x86_64 definition was inadvertently copied when x32 was first added.
unlike errors in the opposite direction (missing padding), this error
was not easily detected breakage, because the layout of the commonly
used initial subset of members still matched. breakage could only be
observed in the presence of control messages or flags.
SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO already were, but only in aggregate with
SO_DEBUG and all of the other low/traditional options that varied per
arch. SO_TIMESTAMP* are newly overridable. the two groups have to be
done separately since mips64 and powerpc64 will override the former
but not the latter.
at some point this should be cleaned up to use bits headers more
idiomatically.
the immediate usage case for this is to let 32-bit archs moving to
64-bit time_t via symbol redirection pull in wrapper shims that
provide the old symbol names. in the future it may be used for other
types of compatibility-only source files that are not relevant to all
archs.
if symbols are being redirected to provide the new time64 ABI, dlsym
must perform matching redirections; otherwise, it would poke a hole in
the magic and return pointers to functions that are not safe to call
from a caller using time64 types.
rather than duplicating a table of redirections, use the time64
symbols present in libc's symbol table to derive the decision for
whether a particular symbol needs to be redirected.
these files provide the symbols for the traditional 32-bit time_t ABI
on existing 32-bit archs by wrapping the real, internal versions of
the corresponding functions, which always work with 64-bit time_t.
they are written to be as agnostic as possible to the implementation
details of the real functions, so that they can be written once and
mostly forgotten, but they are aware of details of the old (and
sometimes new) ABI, which is okay since ABI is fixed and cannot
change.
a new compat tree is added, separate from src, which the Makefile does
not see or use now, but which archs will be able to add to the build
process. we could also consider moving other things that are compat
shims here, like functions which are purely for glibc-ABI-compat, with
the goal of making it optional or just cleaning up the main src tree
to make the distinction between actual implementation/API files and
ABI-compat shims clear.
here _REDIR_TIME64 is used as an indication that there's an old ABI,
and thereby the old time32 timespec fields of struct stat.
keeping struct stat compatible and providing both versions of the
timespec fields is done so that ftw/nftw does not need painful compat
shims, and (more importantly) so that similar interfaces between pairs
of libc consumers (applications/libraries) will be less likely to
break when one has been rebuilt for time64 but the other has not.
these functions cannot provide the glibc lfs64-ABI-compatible symbols
when time_t differs from what it was in that ABI. instead, the aliases
need to be provided by the time32 compat shims or through some other
mechanism.
the time_t members in struct sched_param are just reserved space to
preserve size and alignment. when time_t changes to 64-bit on 32-bit
archs, this structure should not change.
make definition conditional on _REDIR_TIME64 to match the size of the
old time_t, which can be assumed to be long if _REDIR_TIME64 is
defined.
a _REDIR_TIME64 macro is introduced, which the arch's alltypes.h is
expected to define, to control redirection of symbol names for
interfaces that involve time_t and derived types. this ensures that
object files will only be linked to libc interfaces matching the ABI
whose headers they were compiled against.
along with time32 compat shims, which will be introduced separately,
the redirection also makes it possible for a single libc (static or
shared) to be used with object files produced with either the old
(32-bit time_t) headers or the new ones after 64-bit time_t switchover
takes place. mixing of such object files (or shared libraries) in the
same program will also be possible, but must be done with care; ABI
between libc and a consumer of the libc interfaces is guaranteed to
match by the the symbol name redirection, but pairwise ABI between
consumers of libc that define interfaces between each other in terms
of time_t is not guaranteed to match.
this change adds a dependency on an additional "GNU C" feature to the
public headers for existing 32-bit archs, which is generally
undesirable; however, the feature is one which glibc has depended on
for a long time, and thus which any viable alternative compiler is
going to need to provide. 64-bit archs are not affected, nor will
future 32-bit archs be, regardless of whether they are "new" on the
kernel side (e.g. riscv32) or just newly-added (e.g. a new sparc or
xtensa port). the same applies to newly-added ABIs for existing
machine-level archs.
the existing implementation of case mappings was very small (typically
around 1.5k), but unmaintainable, requiring manual addition of new
case mappings with each new edition of Unicode. often, it turned out
that newly-added case mappings were not easily representable in the
existing tightly-constrained table structures, requiring new hacks to
be invented and delaying support for new characters.
the new implementation added here follows the pattern used for
character class membership, with a two-level table allowing Unicode
blocks for which no data is needed to be elided. however, rather than
single-bit data, each character maps to a one of up to 6 case-mapping
rules available to its block, where 6 is floor(cbrt(256)) and allow 3
characters to be represented per byte (vs 8 with bit tables). blocks
that would need more than 6 rules designate one as an exception and
let lookup pass into a binary search of exceptional cases for the
block.
the number 6 was chosen empirically; many blocks would be ok with 4
rules (uncased, lower, upper, possible exceptions), some even just
with 2, but the latter are rare and fitting 4 characters per byte
rather than 3 does not save significant space. moreover, somewhat
surprisingly, there are sufficiently many blocks where even 4 rules
don't suffice without a lot of exceptions (blocks where some case
pairs are laced, others offset) that originally I was looking at
supporting variable-width tables, with 1-, 2-, or 3-bit entries,
thereby allowing blocks with 8 rules. as implemented in my
experiments, that version was significantly larger and involved more
memory accesses/cache lines.
improvements in size at the expense of some performance might be
possible by utilizing iswalpha data or merging the table of case
mapping identity with alphabetic identity. these were explored
somewhat when the code was first written, and might be worth
revisiting in the future.
somehow this seems to have been overlooked. add it now so that
subsequent overhaul of case mapping implementation will not introduce
a functional change at the same time.
for time64 support on 32-bit archs, the kernel interfaces use a
timespec layout padded to match the representation of a pair of 64-bit
values, which requires endian-specific padding.
use of an ordinary, non-bitfield, named member for the padding is
undesirable because, on big endian archs, it would alter the
interpretation of traditional (non-designated) initializers of the
form {s,ns}, initializing the padding instead of the tv_nsec member.
unnamed bitfield members solve this problem by not taking part in
initialization, and were the expected solution when the kernel
interfaces were designed. however, they also have further advantages
which we take advantage of here:
positioning of the padding could be controlled by having a
preprocessor conditional with separate definitions of struct timespec
for little and big endian, but whether padding should appear at all is
a function of whether time_t is larger than long. this condition is
not something the preprocessor can determine unless we were to define
a new macro specifically for that purpose.
by using unnamed bitfield members instead of ordinary named members,
we can arrange for the size of the padding to collapse to zero when it
should not be present, just by using sizeof(time_t) and sizeof(long)
in the bitfield width expression, which can be any integer constant
expression.
commit 2b4fd6f75b added time64 for this
function, but did so with a hidden assumption that the new time64
version of struct timex will be layout-compatible with the old one.
however, there is little benefit to doing it that way, and the cost is
permanent special-casing of 32-bit archs with 64-bit time_t in the
public interface definitions.
instead, do a full translation of the structure going in and out. this
commit is actually a revision to an earlier uncommited version of the
code.
presently the kernel does not actually define time64 versions of these
syscalls, and they're not really needed except to represent extreme
cpu time usage. however, x32's versions of the syscalls already behave
as time64 ones, meaning the functions were broken on x32 if the caller
used any part of the rusage result other than ru_utime and ru_stime.
commit 7e81711431 made it possible to
fix this by treating x32's syscalls as time64 versions.
in the non-time64-syscall case, make the syscall with the rusage
destination pointer adjusted so that all members but the timevals line
up between the libc and kernel structures. on 64-bit archs, or present
32-bit archs with 32-bit time_t, the timevals will line up too and no
further work is needed. for future 32-bit archs with 64-bit time_t,
the timevals are copied into place, contingent on time_t being larger
than long.
this is analogous to commit 40aa18d55a.
so far, there are not any actual time64 versions of the rusage
syscalls (getrusage and wait4) and might never be. however, the
existing x32 ones behave the way time64 versions would if they
existed: using 64-bit slots in place of all longs.
presently, wait4 and getrusage are broken on x32, storing the timevals
correctly but messing up everything else due to the long/kernel-long
mismatch. this would be a huge buffer overflow if not for the 16
reserved slots we left long ago, which suffice to prevent 14
double-sized longs from overflowing into unrelated memory. this commit
will make it possible to fix them.
this is to match the kernel and glibc interfaces. here, struct pt_regs
is an incomplete type, but that's harmless, and if it's completed by
inclusion of another header then members of the struct pointed to by
the regs member can be accessed directly without going through a cast
or intermediate pointer object.
the userspace ucontext API has this as an array rather than a
structure.
commit 3c59a86895 fixed the
corresponding mistake for vrregset_t, namely that the original
powerpc64 port used a mix of types from 32-bit powerpc and powerpc64
rather than matching the 64-bit types.
aside from the special value EOF, ungetc is specified to accept and
convert values outside the range of unsigned char. conversion takes
place automatically as part of assignment when storing into the
buffer, but the return value is also required to be the resulting
converted value, and this requirement was not satisfied.
simplified from patch by Wang Jianjian.
based on patch by Dan Gohman, who caught this via compiler warnings.
analysis by Szabolcs Nagy determined that it's a bug, whereby errno
can be set incorrectly for values where the coercion from long double
to double causes rounding. it seems likely that floating point status
flags may be set incorrectly as a result too.
at the same time, clean up use of preprocessor concatenation involving
LDBL_MANT_DIG, which spuriously depends on it being a single unadorned
decimal integer literal, and instead use the equivalent formulation
2/LDBL_EPSILON. an equivalent change on the printf side was made in
commit bff6095d91.
policy has long been that these definitions are purely a function of
whether long/pointer is 32- or 64-bit, and that they are not allowed
to vary per-arch. move the definition to the shared alltypes.h.in
fragment, using integer constant expressions in terms of sizeof to
vary the array dimensions appropriately. I'm not sure whether this is
more or less ugly than using preprocessor conditionals and two sets of
definitions here, but either way is a lot less ugly than repeating the
same thing for every arch.
LLONG_MAX is uniform for all archs we support and plenty of header and
code level logic assumes it is, so it does not make sense for limits.h
bits mechanism to pretend it's variable.
LONG_BIT can be defined in terms of LONG_MAX; there's no reason to put
it in bits.
by moving LONG_MAX definition to __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h and moving
LLONG_MAX out of bits, there are now no plain-C limits that are
defined in the bits header, so the bits header only needs to be
included in the POSIX or extended profiles. this allows the feature
test macro logic to be removed from the bits header, facilitating a
long-term goal of getting such logic out of bits.
having __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h will allow further generalization of
headers.
archs without a constant PAGESIZE no longer need bits/limits.h at all.
the resolution of Austin Group issue #162 adds endian.h as a standard
header for future versions of the standard, making it no longer
acceptable for some of the functionality to be hidden behind
_BSD_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE. the definitions of the [lb]etoh{16,32,64}
function-like macros are kept conditional since they are alternate
names which the standard did not adopt.
building on commit 97d35a552e,
__BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included. since
reloc.h is only used from src/internal/dynlink.h, it can be assumed
that __BYTE_ORDER is exposed. reloc.h is not permitted to be included
in other contexts, and generally, like most arch headers, lacks
inclusion guards that would allow such usage. the mips64 version
mistakenly included such guards; they are removed for consistency.
building on commit 97d35a552e,
__BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included.
endian.h should not be used since, in the future, it will expose
identifiers that are not in the reserved namespace for the headers
which were previously using it.
this change is motivated by the intersection of several factors.
presently, despite being a nonstandard header, endian.h is exposing
the unprefixed byte order macros and functions only if _BSD_SOURCE or
_GNU_SOURCE is defined. this is to accommodate use of endian.h from
other headers, including bits headers, which need to define structure
layout in terms of endianness. with time64 switch-over, even more
headers will need to do this.
at the same time, the resolution of Austin Group issue 162 makes
endian.h a standard header for POSIX-future, requiring that it expose
the unprefixed macros and the functions even in standards-conforming
profiles. changes to meet this new requirement would break existing
internal usage of endian.h by causing it to violate namespace where
it's used.
instead, have the arch's alltypes.h define __BYTE_ORDER, either as a
fixed constant or depending on the right arch-specific predefined
macros for determining endianness. explicit literals 1234 and 4321 are
used instead of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN so that there's no
danger of getting the wrong result if a macro is undefined and
implicitly evaluates to 0 at the preprocessor level.
the powerpc (32-bit) bits/endian.h being removed had logic for varying
endianness, but our powerpc arch has never supported that and has
always been big-endian-only. this logic is not carried over to the new
__BYTE_ORDER definition in alltypes.h.
now that commit f7f1079796 removed the
legacy i386 conditional definition, va_list is in no way
arch-specific, and has no reason to be in the future. move it to the
shared part of alltypes.h.in
commit ffaaa6d230 removed the
corresponding stdarg.h support for compilers without va_list builtins,
but failed to remove the alternate type definition, leaving incorrect
va_list definitions in place with compilers that don't define __GNUC__
with a value >= 3.
mbsrtowcs contains "vectorized" loops to quickly step over bytes
without the high bit set; these have undefined behavior by virtue of
aliasing uint32_t over top of char data for the accesses.
commit 4d0a82170a fixed the
corresponding usage in string functions by using the may_alias
attribute conditional on __GNUC__ and disabled the vectorized code in
its absence. do the same for mbsrtowcs.
commit ab3eb89a8b removed it as part of
correcting the mcontext_t definition, but there is still code using
struct sigcontext and expecting the member names present in it, most
notably libgcc_eh. almost all such usage is incorrect, but bring back
struct sigcontext at least for now so as not to introduce regressions.
in order for sys/procfs.h (provided by sys/user.h) to be useful, it
needs to match the API its consumers (gdb, etc.) expect, including the
member names established by glibc.
this partly reverts commit 29e8737f81,
which partly reverted d493206de7,
eliminating struct user_fpregs_struct which seems to have had no
precedent and using union __riscv_mc_fp_state for elf_fpregset_t. this
requires indirect inclusion of signal.h to make union
__riscv_mc_fp_state visible, but being that these are nonstandard
"junk" headers with no official restrictions on what they can pull in,
that's no big deal.
split off and expanded from patch by Khem Raj.
the top-level mcontext_t member names were namespace-violating in
standards profiles before, and nested-level member names (some of them
single-letter) were egregiously bad namespace impositions even in
non-strict profiles. moreover, they mismatched those used in the
public API first defined in glibc, breaking any code making use of
them.
unlike most archs, the public API used in glibc for riscv mcontext_t
members was designed to be namespace-safe, so we can and should expose
the members regardless of feature test macros. only the typedefs for
greg_t, gregset_t, and fpregset_t need to be protected behind FTMs.
the struct tags for mcontext_t and ucontext_t are also changed. for
mcontext_t this is necessary to make the common definition across
profiles namespace-safe. for ucontext_t, it's just a matter of
matching the tag from the glibc-defined API.
these changes are split off and expanded from a patch by Khem Raj.
analogous to commit ddc7c4f936 for
mips64 and n32, remove the hack to load the syscall number into $2 via
asm, and use a constraint to let the compiler load it instead.
now, only $4, $5, and $6 are potential input-only registers. $2 is
always input and output, and $7 is both when it's an argument,
otherwise output-only. previously, $7 was treated as an input (with a
"1" constraint matching its output position) even when it was not an
input, which was arguably undefined behavior (asm input from
indeterminate value). this is corrected.
as before, $8, $9, and $10 are conditionally input-output registers
for 5-, 6-, and 7-argument syscalls. their role in input is carrying
in the values that will be stored on the stack for arguments 5-7.
their role in output is carrying back whatever the kernel has
clobbered them with, so that the compiler cannot assume they still
contain the input values.
mips32 has two fpu register file variants: FR=0 with 32 32-bit
registers, where pairs of neighboring even/odd registers are used to
represent doubles, and FR=1 with 32 64-bit registers, each of which
can store a single or double.
up through r5 (our "mips" arch), the supported ABI uses FR=0, but
modern compilers generate "fpxx" model code that can safely operate
with either model. r6, which is an incompatible but similar ISA, drops
FR=0 and only provides the FR=1 model. as such, setjmp and longjmp,
which depended on being able to save and restore call-saved doubles by
storing and loading their 32-bit halves, were completely broken in the
presence of floating point code on mips r6.
to fix this, use the s.d and l.d mnemonics to store and load fpu
registers. these expand to the existing swc1 and lwc1 instructions for
pairs of 32-bit fpu registers on mips1, but on mips2 and later they
translate directly to the 64-bit sdc1 and ldc1.
with FR=0, sdc1 and ldc1 behave just like the pairs of swc1 and lwc1
instructions they replace, storing or loading the even/odd pair of fpu
registers that can be treated as separate single-precision floats or
as a unit representing a double. but with FR=1, they store/load
individual 64-bit registers. this yields the ABI-correct behavior on
mips r6, and should make linking of pre-r6 (plain "mips") code with
"fp64" model code workable, although this is and will likely remain
unsupported usage.
in addition to the mips r6 problem this change fixes, reportedly
clang's internal assembler refuses to assemble swc1 and lwc1
instructions for odd register indices when building for "fpxx" model
(the default). this caused setjmp and longjmp not to build. by using
the s.d and l.d forms, this problem is avoided too.
as a bonus, code size is reduced everywhere but mips1.
mips r6 (an incompatible isa from traditional mips) removes the hi and
lo registers used for mul/div results. older gcc versions accepted
them in the clobber list for asm, but their presence is incorrect and
breaks on later versions.
in the process of fixing this, the clobber list for 32-bit mips
syscalls has been deduplicated via a macro like on mips64 and n32.
in the timer thread start function, self->timer_id was accessed
without synchronization; the timer thread could fail to see the store
from the calling thread, resulting in timer_delete failing to delete
the correct kernel-level timer.
this fix is based on a patch by changdiankang, but with the load moved
to after receiving the timer_delete signal rather than just after the
start barrier, so as not to retain the possibility of data race with
timer_delete.
commit 8a544ee3a2 introduced a
dependency of the failure path for explicit scheduling at thread
creation on __clone's handling of the start function returning, which
should result in SYS_exit.
as noted in commit 05870abeaa, the arm
version of __clone was broken in this case. in the past, the mips
version was also broken; it was fixed in commit
8b2b61e000.
since this code path is pretty much entirely untested (previously only
reachable in applications that call the public clone() and return from
the start function) and consists of fragile per-arch asm, don't assume
it works, at least not until it's been thoroughly tested. instead make
the SYS_exit syscall from the start function's failure path.
we don't actually support building asm source files as thumb1, but
it's possible that the condition __ARM_ARCH>=5 would be false on old
compilers that did not define __ARM_ARCH at all. avoiding that would
require enumerating all of the possible __ARM_ARCH_*__ macros for
testing.
as noted in commit 05870abeaa, mov lr,pc
is not valid for saving a return address when in thumb mode. since
this code is a hot path (dynamic TLS access), don't do the out-of-line
bl->bx chaining to save the return value; instead, use the fact that
this file is preprocessed asm to add the missing thumb bit with an add
in place of the mov.
the change here does not affect builds for ISA levels new enough to
have a thread pointer read instruction, or for armv5 and later as long
as the compiler properly defines __ARM_ARCH, or for any build as arm
(not thumb) code. it's likely that it makes no difference whatsoever
to any present-day practical build environments, but nonetheless now
it's safe.
as an alternative, we could just assume __thumb__ implies availability
of blx since we don't support building asm source files as thumb1. I
didn't do that in order to avoid having a wrong assumption here if
that ever changes.
as noted in commit 05870abeaa, mov lr,pc
is not a valid method for saving the return address in code that might
be built as thumb.
this one is unlikely to matter, since any ISA level that has thumb2
should also have native implementations of atomics that don't involve
kuser_helper, and the affected code is only used on very old kernels
to begin with.
mov lr,pc is not a valid way to save the return address in thumb mode
since it omits the thumb bit. use a chain of bl and bx to emulate blx.
this could be avoided by converting to a .S file with preprocessor
conditions to use blx if available, but the time cost here is
dominated by the syscall anyway.
while making this change, also remove the remnants of support for
pre-bx ISA levels. commit 9f290a49bf
removed the hack from the parent code paths, but left the unnecessary
code in the child. keeping it would require rewriting two code paths
rather than one, and is useless for reasons described in that commit.
historically, a number of 32-bit archs used long rather than int for
wchar_t, for no good reason. GCC still uses the historical types, but
clang replaced them all with int, and it seems PCC uses int too.
mismatching the compiler's type for wchar_t is not an option due to
wide string literals.
note that the mismatch does not affect C++ ABI since wchar_t is its
own builtin type/keyword in C++, distinct from both int and long, not
a typedef.
i386 already worked around this by honoring __WCHAR_TYPE__ if defined
by the compiler, and only using the official legacy ABI type if not.
add the same to the other affected archs.
it might make sense at some point to switch to using int as the
default if __WCHAR_TYPE__ is not defined, if the expectations is that
new compilers will treat int as the correct choice, but it's unlikely
that the case where __WCHAR_TYPE__ is undefined will ever be used
anyway. I actually wanted to move the definition of wchar_t to the
top-level shared alltypes.h.in, using __WCHAR_TYPE__ and falling back
to int if not defined, but that can't be done without assuming all
compilers define __WCHAR_TYPE__ thanks to some pathological archs
where the ABI has wchar_t as an unsigned type.
previously, when pthread_create failed due to inability to set
explicit scheduling according to the requested attributes, the nascent
thread was detached and made responsible for its own cleanup via the
standard pthread_exit code path. this left it consuming resources
potentially well after pthread_create returned, in a way that the
application could not see or mitigate, and unnecessarily exposed its
existence to the rest of the implementation via the global thread
list.
instead, attempt explicit scheduling early and reuse the failure path
for __clone failure if it fails. the nascent thread's exit futex is
not needed for unlocking the thread list, since the thread calling
pthread_create holds the thread list lock the whole time, so it can be
repurposed to ensure the thread has finished exiting. no pthread_exit
is needed, and freeing the stack, if needed, can happen just as it
would if __clone failed.
if setting scheduling properties succeeds, the new thread may end up
with lower priority than the caller, and may be unable to continue
running due to another intermediate-priority thread. this produces a
priority inversion situation for the thread calling pthread_create,
since it cannot return until the new thread reports success.
originally, the parent was responsible for setting the new thread's
priority; commits b8742f3260 and
40bae2d32f changed it as part of
trimming down the pthread structure. since then, commit
04335d9260 partly reversed the changes,
but did not switch responsibilities back. do that now.
commit 8f11e6127f wrongly documented
that all changes to libc.threads_minus_1 were guarded by the thread
list lock, but the decrement for failed SYS_clone took place after the
thread list lock was released.
commit 030e526392 added optreset, a BSD
extension to getopt duplicating the functionality (also an extension)
of setting optind to 0, but failed to provide a public declaration for
it. according to the BSD documentation and headers, the application is
not supposed to need to provide its own declaration.
these are presently extensions, thus named with _np to match glibc and
other implementations that provide them; however they are likely to be
standardized in the future without the _np suffix as a result of
Austin Group issue 1208. if so, both names will be kept as aliases.
due to historical accident/sloppiness in glibc, the powerpc,
powerpc64, and sh versions of struct user, defined by sys/user.h, used
struct pt_regs from the kernel asm/ptrace.h for their regs member.
this made it impossible to define the type in an API-compatible manner
without either including asm/ptrace.h like glibc does (contrary to our
policy of not depending on kernel headers), or clashing with
asm/ptrace.h's definition of struct pt_regs if both headers are
included (which is almost always the case in software using
sys/user.h).
for a long time I viewed this problem as having no reasonable fix. I
even explored the possibility of having the powerpc[64] and sh
versions of user.h just include the kernel header (breaking with
policy), but that looked like it might introduce new clashes with
sys/ptrace.h. and it would also bring in a lot of additional cruft
that makes no sense for sys/user.h to expose. glibc goes out of its
way to suppress some of that with #undef, possibly leading to
different problems. this is a rabbit-hole that should be explored no
further.
as it turns out, however, nothing actually uses struct user
sufficiently to care about the type of the regs member; most software
including sys/user.h does not even use struct user at all. so, the
problem can be fixed just by doing away with the insistence on strict
glibc API compatibility for the struct tag of the regs member.
rather than renaming the tag, which might lead to the new name
entering use as API, simply use an untagged structure inside struct
user with the same members/layout as struct pt_regs.
for sh, struct pt_dspregs is just removed entirely since it was not
used.
these members are associated with an unsupported option group. with
time_t changing size on 32-bit archs, all interfaces taking struct
sched_param arguments would need redirection and compat shims in order
to be able to continue offering these members, for no benefit. just
convert them to reserved space instead.
commit ffab43602b broke this by moving
relocations after not only the allocation of storage for the main
thread's static TLS, but after the copying of the TLS image. thus,
relocation results were not reflected in the main thread's copy. this
could be fixed by calling __reset_tls after relocations, but instead
split the allocation and installation before/after relocations so that
there's not a redundant copy.
due to commit 71af530987, updating of
static_tls_cnt needs to be kept with allocation of static TLS, before
relocations, rather than after installation.
commit 7a9669e977 added use of the
symbol reference as the definition, in place of performing a lookup,
for STT_SECTION symbol references that were first found used in FDPIC.
such references may happen in certain other cases, such as
local-dynamic TLS and with relocation types that require a symbol but
that are being used for non-symbolic purposes, like the powerpc
unaligned address relocations.
in all such cases I'm aware of, the symbol referenced is a section
symbol (STT_SECTION); however, the important semantic property is not
its being a section, but rather its binding local (STB_LOCAL). check
the latter instead of the former for greater generality and semantic
correctness.
as a result of commit ffab43602b,
static_tls_cnt is now valid during relocations at program startup, so
it's no longer necessary to condition the check against static_tls_cnt
on this being a runtime (dlopen) relocation.
this is analogous to commit 2f1f51ae7b,
and should have been caught at the same time since it was right next
to the code moved in that commit. between final stage 3 reloc_all and
the jump to the main program's entry point, it is not valid to call
any functions which may be interposed by the application; doing so
results in execution of application code before ctors have run, and on
fdpic archs, before the main program's fdpic self-fixups have taken
place, which will produce runaway wrong execution.
somewhat analogous to commit d0b547dfb5,
but here the omission of the null timeout check was in the time64
syscall code path. this code is not yet used except on x32.
these accept the netbsd/openbsd message catalog file format,
consisting of a sorted list of set headers and a sorted list of
message headers for each set, admitting trivial binary search for
lookups.
the gnu format was not chosen because it's unusably bad. it does not
admit efficient (log time or better) lookups; rather, it requires
linear search or hash table lookups, and the hash function is awful:
it's literally set_id*msg_id.
commit 722a1ae335 inadvertently passed a
copy of {s,us} to the syscall even if the timeout argument tv was
null, thereby causing immediate timeout (polling) in place of
unlimited timeout. only archs using SYS_select were affected.
when the pattern ended with one or more literal path components, or
when the GLOB_MARK flag was passed to request that glob flag directory
results and the type obtained by readdir was unknown or inconclusive
(symlink), the stat function was called to evaluate existence and/or
determine type. however, stat fails with ENOENT for broken symlinks,
and this caused the match to be omitted from the results.
instead, use stat only for the unknown/inconclusive cases with
GLOB_MARK, and otherwise, or if stat fails, use lstat existence still
needs to be determined. this minimizes the number of costly syscalls,
performing both only in the case where GLOB_MARK is in use and there
is a final literal path component which is a broken symlink.
based on/simplified from patch by James Y Knight.
the contents conflicted with asm/ptrace.h. glibc does not provide
anything in user.h for riscv, so software cannot be depending on it.
simplified from patch submitted by Baruch Siach.
otherwise alarm will break on 32-bit archs when time_t is changed to
64-bit. a second itimerval object is introduced for retrieving the old
value, since the setitimer function has restrict-qualified arguments.
commit 31c5fb80b9 introduced underflow
code paths for the i386 math asm, along with checks on the fpu status
word to skip the underflow-generation instructions if the underflow
flag was already raised. unfortunately, at least one such path, in
log1p, returned with 2 items on the x87 stack rather than just 1 item
for the return value. this is a violation of the ABI's calling
convention, and could cause subsequent floating point code to produce
NANs due to x87 stack overflow. if floating point results are used in
flow control, this can lead to runaway wrong code execution.
rather than reviewing each "underflow already raised" code path for
correctness, remove them all. they're likely slower than just
performing the underflow code unconditionally, and significantly more
complex.
all of this code should be ripped out and replaced by C source files
with inline asm. doing so would preclude this kind of error by having
the compiler perform all x87 stack register allocation and stack
manipulation, and would produce comparable or better code. however
such a change is a much larger project.
commit f3f96f2daa added these for the
rest of the archs, but the patch it corresponded to missed riscv64
since riscv64 was not yet upstream at the time. this caused commit
dfc81828f7 to break riscv64 build, due
to a wrong assumption that SYS_statx was unconditionally defined.
this fixes a major upcoming performance regression introduced by
commit 72f50245d0, whereby 32-bit archs
would lose vdso clock_gettime after switching to 64-bit time_t, unless
the kernel supports time64 and provides a time64 version of the vdso
function. this would incur not just one but two syscalls: first, the
failed time64 syscall, then the fallback time32 one.
overflow of the 32-bit result is detected and triggers a revert to
syscalls. normally, on a system that's not Y2038-ready, this would
still overflow, but if the process has been migrated to a
time64-capable kernel or if the kernel has been hot-patched to add
time64 syscalls, it may conceivably work.
otherwise, 32-bit archs that could otherwise share the generic
bits/ipc.h would need to duplicate the struct ipc_perm definition,
obscuring the fact that it's the same. sysvipc is not widely used and
these headers are not commonly included, so there is no performance
gain to be had by limiting the number of indirectly included files
here.
files with the existing time32 definition of IPC_STAT are added to all
current 32-bit archs now, so that when it's changed the change will
show up as a change rather than addition of a new file where it's less
obvious that the value is changing vs the generic one that was used
before.
per policy, define the feature test macro to get declarations for the
pthread_tryjoin_np and pthread_timedjoin_np functions. in the past
this has been only for checking; with 32-bit archs getting 64-bit
time_t it will also be necessary for symbols to get redirected
correctly.
to make use of {sem,shm,msg}ctl IPC_STAT functionality to provide
64-bit time_t on 32-bit archs, IPC_STAT and related macros must be
defined with bit 8 (0x100) set. allow archs to define IPC_STAT in
bits/ipc.h, and define the other macros in terms of it so that they
all get the same value of the time64 bit.
the time64 syscall has to be used if time_t is 64-bit, since there's
no way of knowing before making a syscall whether the result will fit
in 32 bits, and the 32-bit syscalls do not report overflow as an
error.
on 64-bit archs, there is no change to the code after preprocessing.
on current 32-bit archs, the result is now read from the kernel
through long[2] array, then copied into the timespec, to remove the
assumption that time_t is the same as long.
vdso clock_gettime is still used in place of a syscall if available.
32-bit archs with 64-bit time_t must use the time64 version of the
vdso function; if it's not available, performance will significantly
suffer. support for both vdso functions could be added, but would
break the ability to move a long-lived process from a pre-time64
kernel to one that can outlast Y2038 with checkpoint/resume, at least
without added hacks to identify that the 32-bit function is no longer
usable and stop using it (e.g. by seeing negative tv_sec). this
possibility may be explored in future work on the function.
the 64-bit/time64 version of the syscall is not API-compatible with
the userspace timex structure definition; fields specified as long
have type long long. so when using the time64 syscall, we have to
convert the entire structure. this was always the case for x32 as
well, but went unnoticed, meaning that clock_adjtime just passed junk
to the kernel on x32. it should be fixed now.
for the fallback case, we avoid encoding any assumptions about the new
location of the time member or naming of the legacy slots by accessing
them through a union of the kernel type and the new userspace type.
the only assumption is that the non-time members live at the same
offsets as in the (non-time64, long-based) kernel timex struct. this
property saves us from having to convert the whole thing, and avoids a
lot of additional work in compat shims.
the new code is statically unreachable for now except on x32, where it
fixes major brokenness. it is permanently unreachable on 64-bit.
without this, the SIOCGSTAMP and SIOCGSTAMPNS ioctl commands, for
obtaining timestamps, would stop working on pre-5.1 kernels after
time_t is switched to 64-bit and their values are changed to the new
time64 versions.
new code is written such that it's statically unreachable on 64-bit
archs, and on existing 32-bit archs until the macro values are changed
to activate 64-bit time_t.
without this, the SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO socket options would
stop working on pre-5.1 kernels after time_t is switched to 64-bit and
their values are changed to the new time64 versions.
new code is written such that it's statically unreachable on 64-bit
archs, and on existing 32-bit archs until the macro values are changed
to activate 64-bit time_t.
the __socketcall and __socketcall_cp macros are remnants from a really
old version of the syscall-mechanism infrastructure, and don't follow
the pattern that the "__" version of the macro returns the raw negated
error number rather than setting errno and returning -1.
for time64 purposes, some socket syscalls will need to operate on the
error value rather than returning immediately, so fix this up so they
can use it.
being "ctl" functions that take command numbers, these will be handled
like ioctl/sockopt/etc., using new command numbers for the time64
variants with an "IPC_TIME64" bit added to their values. to obtain
such a reserved bit, we reuse the IPC_64 bit, 0x100, which served only
as part of the libc-to-kernel interface, not as a public interface of
the libc functions.
using new command numbers avoids the need for compat shims (in ABIs
doing time64 through symbol redirection and compat shims) and, by
virtue of having a fixed time64 bit for all commands, we can ensure
that libc can perform the appropriate translations, even if the
application is using new commands from a newer version of the libc
headers than the libc available at runtime.
for the vast majority of 32-bit archs, the kernel {sem,shm,msq}id64_ds
definitions left padding space intended for expanding their time_t
fields to 64 bits in-place, and it would have been really nice to be
able to do time64 support that way. however the padding was almost
always in little-endian order (except on powerpc, and for msqid_ds
only on mips, where it matched the arch's byte order), and more
importantly, the alignment was overlooked. in semid_ds and msqid_ds,
the time_t members were not suitably aligned to be expanded to 64-bit,
due to the ipc_perm header consisting of 9 32-bit words -- except on
powerpc where ipc_perm contains an extra padding word. in shmid_ds,
the time_t members were suitably aligned, except that mips
(accidentally?) omitted the padding for them alltogether.
as a result, we're stuck with adding new time_t fields on the end of
the structures, and assembling the 32-bit lo/hi parts (or 16-bit hi
parts, for mips shmid_ds, which lacked sufficient reserved space for
full 32-bit hi parts) to fill them in.
all of the functional changes here are conditional on the IPC_TIME64
macro having a nonzero definition, which will only happen when
IPC_STAT is redefined for 32-bit archs, and on time_t being larger
than long, so for now the new code is all dead code.
due to the variadic signature, semctl needs to be made aware of any
new commands that take arguments. this was overlooked when commit
af55070eae added SEM_STAT_ANY.
