in nearest rounding mode scalbn could introduce double rounding error
when an intermediate value and the final result were both in the
subnormal range e.g.
scalbn(0x1.7ffffffffffffp-1, -1073)
returned 0x1p-1073 instead of 0x1p-1074, because the intermediate
computation got rounded to 0x1.8p-1023.
with the fix an intermediate value can only be in the subnormal range
if the final result is 0 which is correct even after double rounding.
(there still can be two roundings so signals may be raised twice, but
that's only observable with trapping exceptions which is not supported.)
normally 32-bit archs use the mmap2 syscall and are limited to an
offset of 2^32 pages. however some 32-bit archs (mainly ILP32-on-64
ones like x32) have 64-bit syscall argument slots and thus can accept
the full range. don't artifically limit them.
analogous to commit 5bf7eba213, use of
AT_PHDR/PT_PHDR does not actually work to find the program base, and
the method with _DYNAMIC vs PT_DYNAMIC must be used as an alternative.
patch by Shiz, along with testing to confirm that this fixes unwinding
in static PIE.
due to testing buf[i].family==AF_INET before checking i==cnt, it was
possible to read past the end of the array, or past the valid part. in
practice, without active bounds/indeterminate-value checking by the
compiler, the worst that happened was failure to return early and
optimize out the sorting that's unneeded for v4-only results.
returning on i==cnt-1 rather than i==cnt would be an alternate fix,
but the approach this patch takes is more idiomatic and less
error-prone.
patch by Timo Teräs.
this should increase performance and reduce code size on aarch64.
the compiled code was checked against using __builtin_* instead
of inline asm with gcc-6.2.0.
lrint is two instructions.
c with inline asm is used because it is safer than a pure asm
implementation, this prevents ll{rint,round} to be an alias
of l{rint,round} (because the types don't match) and depends
on gcc style inline asm support.
ceil, floor, round, trunc can either raise inexact on finite
non-integer inputs or not raise any exceptions. the new
implementation does not raise exceptions while the generic
c code does.
on aarch64, the underflow exception is signaled before rounding
(ieee 754 allows both before and after rounding, but it must be
consistent), the generic fma c code signals it after rounding
so using single instruction fixes a slight conformance issue too.
With REG_NEWLINE, POSIX says:
"A <newline> in string shall not be matched by a period outside
a bracket expression or by any form of a non-matching list"
the old limit was one byte too short to support locale names of the
form xx_XX.UTF-8@modifier where modifier is more than 3 bytes, a form
which various real-world locale names take. the problem could be
avoided by omitting the useless ".UTF-8" part, but users may need to
have it present when operating on mixed-libc systems or when it will
be carried over (e.g. across ssh) to other systems.
the new limit is chosen sufficient for existing/reasonable locale
names while still keeping the size of setlocale's static buffer small.
also add locale_impl.h to the Makefile's list of headers which force
rebuild of source files, to prevent dangerously inconsistent object
files from getting used after this change.
often translations will be named only by language, whereas locale
names may also include a territory code, modifier, and codeset
portion. previously, only translations exactly matching the locale
name were loaded. this was a major usability issue, requiring
workarounds like symlinks or tweaking of the locale name.
with these changes, gettext now searches for translations by first
removing the codeset portion of the locale name, then trying the
remainder in full, with modifier (@mod) removed, with territory code
(_XX) removed, and with both removed.
part of the reason gettext lacked support for searching fallbacks
before is that the candidate pathname for a translation file was
constructed on each call and used as the key to lookup an
already-mapped translation file. this was very costly/inefficient. we
now use the tuple of textdomain binding pointer, locale map pointer,
and integer category id as the key for looking up a translation file
mapping.
based on patch by He X.
when called for LC_ALL, setlocale has to return a string representing
the state of all locale categories. the simplest way to do this was to
always return a delimited list of values for each category, but that's
not friendly in the fairly common case where all categories have the
same setting. He X proposed a patch to check for this case and return
a single name; this patch is a simplified approach to do the same.
commit 4ff234f6cb erroneously changed
the condition for running certain code at dlopen time to check whether
the library was already relocated rather than whether it already had
its deps[] table filled. this was out of concern over whether the code
under the conditional would be idempotent/safe to call on an
already-loaded libraries. however, I missed a consideration in the
opposite direction: if a library was loaded at program startup rather
than dlopen, its deps[] table was not yet allocated/filled, and
load_deps needs to be called at dlopen time in order for dlsym to be
able to perform dependency-order symbol lookups.
in order to avoid wasteful allocation of lazy-binding relocation
tables for libraries which were already loaded and relocated at
startup, the check for !p->relocated is not deleted entirely, but
moved to apply only to allocation of these dables.
the time of day at which daylight time switches over is specified in
local time in the dst state prior to the transition. the code for
handling this wrongly assumed it needed to switch whether dst or
standard offset is applied to the transition time when the dst end
date is before the dst start date (souther hemisphere summer), but in
fact the end transition time should always be adjusted for dst, and
the start transition time should always be adjusted for standard time.
Including sys/procfs.h complains unknown type name 'fpreg_t' in
bits/user.h. fpreg_t in bits/signal.h and elf_fpreg_t in bits/user.h
are practically the same.
per_struct is never used, even conflicts with kernel header
asm/ptrace.h
this change was suggested based on testing done by Timo Teräs almost
two years ago; the branch (and probably call prep overhead) in the
inner loop was found to contribute noticably to total symbol lookup
time. this change will make lookup slightly slower if libraries were
built with only the traditional "sysv" ELF hash table, but based on
how much slower lookup tends to be without the gnu hash table, it
seems reasonable to assume that (1) users building without gnu hash
don't care about dynamic linking performance, and (2) the extra time
spent computing the gnu hash is likely to be dominated by the slowness
of the sysv hash table lookup anyway.
partly following freebsd rev 279491
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=279491
(musl had some of the fixes before freebsd).
the change should not matter much for j0f, y0f, but it improves
j1f and y1f in [2.5,~3.75] (that is [0x40200000,~0x40700000]).
near roots (e.g. around 3.8317 for j1f) there are still large
ulp errors.
dropped code that tried to raise inexact.
such loading is unsafe, and can happen when programs use their own
logic to locate a .so file then pass the absolute pathname to dlopen,
or if an absolute pathname ends up in DT_NEEDED headers. multiple
loads with only the base name were already precluded, provided libc
was named appropriately, by special-casing standard library names.
one function symbol (in the reserved namespace, but public, since it's
part of the crt1 entry point ABI) and one data symbol are checked.
this way we avoid likely false positives, particularly from libraries
interposing and wrapping functions. there is no hard requirement to
avoid breaking such usage, since trying to run a hook before libc is
even initialized is not a supported usage case, but it's friendlier
not to break things.
the fix in commit c3edc06d1e for
CVE-2016-8859 used gotos to exit on overflow conditions, but the code
in that error path assumed the buffer pointer was valid or null. thus,
the conditions which previously led to under-allocation and buffer
overflow could instead lead to an invalid pointer being passed to
free.
traditional lazy relocation with call-time plt resolver is
intentionally not implemented, as it is a huge bug surface and demands
significant amounts of arch-specific code and requires ongoing
maintenance to ensure compatibility with applications which make use
of new additions to the arch's register file in passing function
arguments.
some applications, however, depend on the ability to dlopen modules
which have unsatisfied symbol references at the time they are loaded,
either avoiding use of the affected interfaces or manually loading
another module to provide the missing definition via their own module
dependency tracking outside the ELF data structures. while such usage
is non-conforming, failure to support it has been a significant
obstacle for users/distributions trying to support affected software,
particularly the X.org server.
instead of resolving lazy relocations at call time, this patch saves
unresolved GOT/PLT relocations for deferral and retries them after
each subsequent dlopen until they are resolved. since dlopen is the
only time at which the effective global symbol table can change, this
behavior is not observably different from traditional lazy binding,
and the required code is minimal.
when loading libraries with dlopen, the caller can request that the
library's symbols become part of the global symbol table, or that they
only be used for resolving relocations in the loaded library and its
dependencies. in the latter case, a subsequent dlopen of the same
library can upgrade it to global status.
previously, if a library was upgraded from local to global mode, its
symbols entered the symbol lookup search order at the point where the
library was originally loaded. this means that a new call to dlopen
could change the value of a symbol that already had a visible
definition, an inconsistency which applications could observe.
POSIX is unclear whether this should happen or whether it's permitted
to happen, but the resolution of Austin Group issue #982 made it
formally unspecified.
with this patch, a library whose mode is upgraded from local to global
enters the symbol lookup order at the point where it was made global,
so that symbol resolution before and after the upgrade are consistent.
in order to implement this change, the per-dso global flag is replaced
with a separate set of linked-list pointers for participation in the
global symbol table. this permits the order of dso objects for symbol
resolution to differ from the order used for iteration of all loaded
libraries. it also improves performance of find_sym, by avoiding a
branch per iteration and skipping, and especially in the case where
many non-global libraries have been loaded, by allowing the loop to
skip over them entirely. logic for temporarily adding non-global
libraries to the symbol table for relocation purposes is also mildly
simplified.
A weak symbol definition is not special during dynamic linking, so
don't let a strong definition in a later module override it.
(glibc dynamic linker allows overriding weak definitions if
LD_DYNAMIC_WEAK is set, musl does not.)
STB_GNU_UNIQUE means that the symbol is global, even if it is in a
module that's loaded with RTLD_LOCAL, and all references resolve to
the same definition. This semantics is only relevant for c++ plugin
systems and even there it's often not what the user wants (so it can
be turned off in g++ by -fno-gnu-unique when the c++ shared lib is
compiled). In musl just treat it like STB_GLOBAL.
the 32-bit pc-relative address for stage 2 of dynamic linker entry was
wrongly loaded with a zero-extending load instead of sign-extending
load, resulting in an invalid jump if the offset happened to be
negative, which depends on the linker's ordering of text sections.
this is not a conformance issue as posix does not specify the
argument order, but the order is specified for bsearch and some
systems document the order for lsearch consistently (openbsd).
since there were two indpendent reports of this issue it's better
to use the more widely expected argument order.
the ABI for arm was silently changed at some point to allow page sizes
other than 4k; traditional binaries built with only 4k-aligned offsets
between load segments cannot run on such systems, but newer binutils
versions use 64k offset alignment.
while larger page size is undesirable for various reasons, users have
encountered hardware and/or kernels that lock the page size to a
larger value, so follow the new ABI and allow it to vary.
binutils commit bada43421274615d0d5f629a61a60b7daa71bc15 tightened
immediate fixup handling in gas in such a way that the final .arch of
an object file must be compatible with the fixups used when the
instruction was assembled; this in turn broke assembling of atomics.s,
at least in thumb mode.
it's not clear whether this should be considered a bug in gas, but
.object_arch is preferable anyway for our purpose here of controlling
the ISA level tag on the object file being produced, and it's the
intended directive for use in object files with runtime code
selection. research by Szabolcs Nagy confirmed that .object_arch is
supported in all relevant versions of binutils and clang's integrated
assembler.
patch by Reiner Herrmann.
the plural_rule field of allocated msgcat structures was assumed to be
initially-null but was never initialized. for future-proofing, the
nplurals field which was left uninitialized should also be cleared.
likewise, in the binding structure, the active field could be used
uninitialized by a technicality: the a_store which stores the initial
value of 0 may be implemented as a cas operation, which reads the old
value.
rather than fixing these issues individually, just use calloc for both
allocations. this does result in wasteful clearing of name buffers (up
to NAME_MAX+PATH_MAX) before filling them, but since the size if
bounded and the time is dominated by filesystem operations, it really
doesn't matter; simplicity and future-proofing have more value here.
modified from patch submitted by He X.
this loop was only supposed to deactivate other bindings for the same
text domain name, but due to copy-and-paste error, deactivated all
other bindings.
patch by He X.
commit 78a8ef47c4 inadvertently removed
the SA_RESTART flag from the sigaction for the internal signal handler
used by __synccall for broadcasting. as a result, programs which did
not use interrupting signals but which used set*id() in a
multithreaded context could wrongly observe EINTR errors they're not
prepared to handle.
commit d56460c939 introduced this
regression as part of splitting the tls module list out of the dso
list. the new code added to dlopen's failure path to undo the changes
adding the partially-loaded libraries reset the tls_tail pointer
correctly, but did not clear its link to the next list entry. thus, at
least until the next successful dlopen, the list was not terminated
but ended with an invalid next pointer, which __copy_tls attempted to
follow when a new thread was created.
patch by Mikael Vidstedt.
ISO C and POSIX only specify behavior for base arguments of 0 and
2-36; POSIX mandates an EINVAL error for unsupported bases. it's not
clear that there's a requirement for implementations not to "support"
additional bases as an extension, but "base 1" did not work in any
meaningful way anyway, so it should be considered unsupported and thus
an error.
getopt is only specified to modify optopt on error, and some software
apparently infers an error from optopt!=0.
getopt_long is changed analogously. the resulting behavior differs
slightly from the behavior of the GNU implementation of getopt_long,
which keeps an internal shadow copy of optopt and copies it to the
public one on return, but since the GNU implementation also exhibits
this shadow-copy behavior for plain getopt where is is non-conforming,
I think this can reasonably be considered a bug rather than an
intentional behavior that merits mimicing.
when _GNU_SOURCE is defined, which is always the case when compiling
c++ with gcc, these macros for the the indices in gregset_t are
exposed and likely to clash with applications. by using enum constants
rather than macros defined with integer literals, we can make the
clash slightly less likely to break software. the macros are still
defined in case anything checks for them with #ifdef, but they're
defined to expand to themselves so that non-file-scope (e.g.
namespaced) identifiers by the same names still work.

commit 0dc99ac413 added input length
checking to avoid unsafe VLA allocation, but put it in the wrong
place, before the glob_t structure was zeroed out. while POSIX isn't
clear on whether it's permitted to call globfree after glob failed
with GLOB_NOSPACE, making it safe is clearly better than letting
uninitialized pointers get passed to free in non-conforming callers.
while we're fixing this, change strlen check to the idiomatic strnlen
version to avoid unbounded input scanning before returning an error.
commit 583ea83541 fixed the case where
tm_year is negative but the resulting year (offset by 1900) was still
positive, which is always the case for time_t values that fit in 32
bits, but not for arbitrary inputs.
based on an earlier patch by Julien Ramseier which was overlooked at
the time the previous fix was applied.
the static-linked version of __init_tls needs to locate the TLS
initialization image via the ELF program headers, which requires
determining the base address at which the program was loaded. the
existing code attempted to do this by comparing the actual address of
the program headers (obtained via auxv) with the virtual address for
the PT_PHDR record in the program headers. however, the linker seems
to produce a PT_PHDR record only when a program interpreter (dynamic
linker) is used. thus the computation failed and used the default base
address of 0, leading to a crash when trying to access the TLS image
at the wrong address.
the dynamic linker entry point and static-PIE rcrt1.o startup code
compute the base address instead by taking the difference between the
run-time address of _DYNAMIC and the virtual address in the PT_DYNAMIC
record. this patch copies the approach they use, but with a weak
symbolic reference to _DYNAMIC instead of obtaining the address from
the crt_arch.h asm. this works because relocations have already been
performed at the time __init_tls is called.
all assembly is now thumb2-compatible. on existing targets this is at
best a size optimization, but it will also facilitate porting to
thumb2-isa-only arm variants.
