This was discussed on the hallway track at GNU Tools Cauldron
2024. There are concerns about stability of the big-endian
GCC backend, and Linux removed support for the only big-endian
ARC platform in commit dd7c7ab01a04d645b7e7baa8530bfd81e31a2202
("ARC: [plat-eznps]: Drop support for EZChip NPS platform").
This patch adds new flag --glibctunables to the cross-test-ssh.sh script
to pass Glibc tunables to the system on which tests are executed.
The value to pass can be also provided via the GLIBC_TUNABLES environment
variable.
This works similar to the TIMEOUTFACTOR variable.
Sometimes it is useful to cross test glibc with some non-default tunable,
and a global environment variable is the easiest way to inject some
tunable value into most tests. With this patch using cross-test-ssh.sh
script becomes very similar to running a test natively on the local host
when using non-default tunable is important.

For each input readelf output, localplt.awk parses each 'Relocation
section' entry, checks its offset against the dynamic section entry, and
saves each DT_JMPREL, DT_RELA, and DT_REL offset value it finds. After
all lines are read, the script checks if any segment offset differed
from 0, meaning at least one 'Relocation section' was matched.
However, if the shared object was built with RELR support and the static
linker could place all the relocation on DT_RELR, there would be no
DT_JMPREL, DT_RELA, and DT_REL entries; only a DT_RELR.
For the current three ABIs that support (aarch64, x86, and powerpc64),
the powerpc64 ld.so shows the behavior above. Both x86_64 and aarch64
show extra relocations on '.rela.dyn', which makes the script check to
succeed.
This patch fixes by handling DT_RELR, where the offset is checked
against the dynamic section entries and if the shared object contains an
entry it means that there are no extra PLT entries (since all
relocations are relative).
It fixes the elf/check-localplt failure on powerpc.
Checked with a build/check for aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu,
i686-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, s390x-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu,

Sort tunables list at the time it's generated. Note: adding new
tunables will cause other tunable IDs to change, but that was
the case before anyway. POSIX does not guarantee the order of "foo
in bar" AWK operators, so the order was indeterminate before anyway.
Even depending on the order to be the same across multiple calls,
such as in this script, is undefined, so sorting the list resolves
that also.
Note that sorting is not dependent on the user's locale.
Tunable with environment variables aliases are also ignored if
glibc.rtld.enable_secure is enabled. The tunable parsing is also
optimized a bit, where the loop that checks each environment variable
only checks for the tunables with aliases instead of all tables.

Simplify the advisory format by dropping the -Backport tags and instead
stick to using just the -Commit tags. To identify backports, put a
substring of git-describe into the release version in the brackets next
to the commit ref. This way, it not only identifies that the fix (or
regression) is on the release/2.YY/master branch, it also disambiguates
regressions/fixes in the branch from those in the tarball.
Add a README to make it easier for consumers to understand the format.
Additionally, the Release wiki needs to be updated to inform the release
manager to:
1. Generate a NEWS snipped from the advisories directory
AND
2. on release/2.YY/master, replace the advisories directory with a text
file pointing to the advisories directory in master so that we don't
have to update multiple locations.

It turns out that the replacement of datetime.datetime.utcnow(), for a
warning produced early in running build-many-glibcs.py with Python
3.12, (a) wasn't complete (there were other uses elsewhere in the
script also needing updating) and (b) broke reading of build-time from
build-state.json, because an aware datetime was written out including
+00:00 for the timezone, which was not expected by the strptime call.
Fix the first by making the change to
datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) for all the remaining
utcnow() calls. Fix the second by using strftime with an explicit
format instead of just str() when formatting build times for
build-state.json and and email subjects, and then setting the timezone
explicitly when reading from build-state.json. (Other uses, in
particular messages output by the bot, continue to use str() as the
precise format should not matter in those cases; it shouldn't actually
matter for email subjects either but it seems a good idea to keep
those short.)
Tested with a bot-cycle run and checking the format of times in
build-state.json afterwards.
Running build-many-glibcs.py with Python 3.12 or later produces a
warning:
build-many-glibcs.py:566: DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future version. Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).
build_time = datetime.datetime.utcnow()
Replace with datetime.datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc) (the
datetime.UTC constant is new in 3.11, so not suitable for use in this
script at present).
Running build-many-glibcs.py with Python 3.12 or later produces a
warning:
build-many-glibcs.py:173: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\.'
m = re.fullmatch('([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)[.0-9]*', l)
Use a raw string instead to avoid that warning. (Note: I haven't
checked whether any other Python scripts included with glibc might
have issues with newer Python versions.)
Add ELF_DYNAMIC_AFTER_RELOC to allow target specific processing after

entry.
With the r_addend field of the R_X86_64_JUMP_SLOT relocation set to the

Define ELF_DYNAMIC_AFTER_RELOC for x86-64 to rewrite the PLT section

PLT rewrite is disabled by default since SELinux may disallow modifying
code pages and ld.so can't detect it in all cases. Use

$ export GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.cpu.plt_rewrite=2

64-bit absolute jump at run-time.

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2024. This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.
One of the requirements to becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is
to publish advisories. Do this by maintaining a file for each CVE fixed
in the advisories directory in the source tree. Links to the advisories
can then be shared as:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob_plain;f=advisories/GLIBC-SA-YYYY-NNNN
The file format at the moment is rudimentary and derives from the git
commit format, i.e. a subject line and a potentially multi-paragraph
description and then tags to describe some meta information. This is a
loose format at the moment and could change as we evolve this.
Also add a script process-fixed-cves.sh that processes these advisories
and generates a list to add to NEWS at release time.

The tunable privilege levels were a retrofit to try and keep the malloc
tunable environment variables' behavior unchanged across security
boundaries. However, CVE-2023-4911 shows how tricky can be
tunable parsing in a security-sensitive environment.
Not only parsing, but the malloc tunable essentially changes some
semantics on setuid/setgid processes. Although it is not a direct
security issue, allowing users to change setuid/setgid semantics is not
a good security practice, and requires extra code and analysis to check
if each tunable is safe to use on all security boundaries.
It also means that security opt-in features, like aarch64 MTE, would
need to be explicit enabled by an administrator with a wrapper script
or with a possible future system-wide tunable setting.

The majority of grp routines are entry points for nss functionality.

'posix' (alongside the 'getgroups' stub). References to grp/ are

implementation of initgroups is renamed to initgroups-fallback.c so that
the build system does not confuse it for nss_compat/compat-initgroups.c.
