Some recent change on GCC mainline resulted in the localplt test
failing for powerpc soft-float (not sure exactly when, as the failure
appeared when there were other build test failures as well;
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-testresults/2019-q2/msg00261.html>
shows it remaining when other failures went away). The problem is a
call to memset that GCC now generates in the libgcc long double code.
Since memset is documented as a function GCC may always implicitly
generate calls to, it seems reasonable to allow that local PLT
reference (just like those for libgcc functions that GCC implicitly
generates calls to and that are also exported from libc.so), which
this patch does.
Tested for powerpc soft-float with build-many-glibcs.py.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/nofpu/localplt.data:
Allow memset in libc.so.
This commit separates allocating and raising exceptions. This
simplifies catching and re-raising them because it is no longer
necessary to make a temporary, on-stack copy of the exception message.
It is no longer needed since commit 6c444ad6e9
(elf: Do not use memalign for TCB/TLS blocks allocation [BZ #17730]).
Applications do not link against ld.so and will use the definition in
libc.so, so there is no ABI impact.
This change moves the main implementation of _dl_catch_error,
_dl_signal_error to libc.so, where TLS variables can be used
directly. This removes a writable function pointer from the
rtld_global variable.
For use during initial relocation, minimal implementations of these
functions are provided in ld.so. These are eventually interposed
by the libc.so implementations. This is implemented by compiling
elf/dl-error-skeleton.c twice, via elf/dl-error.c and
elf/dl-error-minimal.c.
As a side effect of this change, the static version of dl-error.c
no longer includes support for the
_dl_signal_cerror/_dl_receive_error mechanism because it is only
used in ld.so.
Testing for powerpc-nofpu showed that localplt.data was out of date.
Two new soft-fp functions showed up in the list: __gtsf2 and
__unordsf2; this patch adds these as optional. __signbit and
__signbitl no longer appear as local PLT entries; given the move to
__builtin_signbit* for all GCC versions supported for building glibc
(and given the use of the type-generic signbit macro within glibc),
those can safely be removed from the list, which this patch does.
Tested for powerpc-nofpu.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/nofpu/localplt.data
(__gtsf2): Add as optional for libc.so.
(__unordsf2): Likewise.
(__signbit): Remove for libc.so.
(__signbitl): Likewise.
For maximum paranoia we run ld.so through the normal set
of tests for all of the shared libraries. This includes
running ld.so through check-localplt, check-textrel, and
check-execstack. While none of these should trigger any
failures given the way ld.so is built, it might possibly
fail if a developer does something wrong. This paranoia
was triggered by a discussion over the use of __strcpy
vs. strcpy [1] and if the symbol could leak and use the
libc.so version.
The check-localplt test fails right away because localplt.data
needs updating for all arches. By default we add 6 new symbols:
__tls_get_addr, __libc_memalign, malloc, calloc, realloc and
free. Other machines like i386, power, and s390 require some
different symbol sets e.g. ___tls_get_addr vs. __tls_get_addr
for i386.
