Siddhesh Poyarekar	0552fd2c7d	Move malloc_{g,s}et_state to libc_malloc_debug These deprecated functions are only safe to call from __malloc_initialize_hook and as a result, are not useful in the general case. Move the implementations to libc_malloc_debug so that existing binaries that need it will now have to preload the debug DSO to work correctly. This also allows simplification of the core malloc implementation by dropping all the undumping support code that was added to make malloc_set_state work. One known breakage is that of ancient emacs binaries that depend on this. They will now crash when running with this libc. With LD_BIND_NOW=1, it will terminate immediately because of not being able to find malloc_set_state but with lazy binding it will crash in unpredictable ways. It will need a preloaded libc_malloc_debug.so so that its initialization hook is executed to allow its malloc implementation to work properly.

Siddhesh Poyarekar	b5bd5bfe88	glibc.malloc.check: Wean away from malloc hooks The malloc-check debugging feature is tightly integrated into glibc malloc, so thanks to an idea from Florian Weimer, much of the malloc implementation has been moved into libc_malloc_debug.so to support malloc-check. Due to this, glibc malloc and malloc-check can no longer work together; they use altogether different (but identical) structures for heap management. This should not make a difference though since the malloc check hook is not disabled anywhere. malloc_set_state does, but it does so early enough that it shouldn't cause any problems. The malloc check tunable is now in the debug DSO and has no effect when the DSO is not preloaded.

Siddhesh Poyarekar	9dad716d4d	mtrace: Wean away from malloc hooks Wean mtrace away from the malloc hooks and move them into the debug DSO. Split the API away from the implementation so that we can add the API to libc.so as well as libc_malloc_debug.so, with the libc implementations being empty. Update localplt data since memalign no longer has any callers after this change. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>	5 years ago
Siddhesh Poyarekar	c142eb253f	mcheck: Wean away from malloc hooks [BZ #23489 ] Split the mcheck implementation into the debugging hooks and API so that the API can be replicated in libc and libc_malloc_debug.so. The libc APIs always result in failure. The mcheck implementation has also been moved entirely into libc_malloc_debug.so and with it, all of the hook initialization code can now be moved into the debug library. Now the initialization can be done independently of libc internals. With this patch, libc_malloc_debug.so can no longer be used with older libcs, which is not its goal anyway. tst-vfork3 breaks due to this since it spawns shell scripts, which in turn execute using the system glibc. Move the test to tests-container so that only the built glibc is used. This move also fixes bugs in the mcheck version of memalign and realloc, thus allowing removal of the tests from tests-mcheck exclusion list.

Siddhesh Poyarekar	2d2d9f2b48	Move malloc hooks into a compat DSO Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it into a new library libc_malloc_debug.so. With this, the hooks now no longer have any effect on the core library. libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again. Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops. These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches. Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to preload libc_malloc_debug.so. The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly the same version as libc.so. Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.
