malloc: add multi-threaded tests for aligned_alloc/calloc/malloc
Improve aligned_alloc/calloc/malloc test coverage by adding
multi-threaded tests with random memory allocations and with/without
cross-thread memory deallocations.
Perform a number of memory allocation calls with random sizes limited
to 0xffff.
Use the existing DSO ('malloc/tst-aligned_alloc-lib.c') to randomize
allocator selection.
The multi-threaded allocation/deallocation is staged as described below:
- Stage 1: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
other half will be waiting for them to finish the allocation.
- Stage 2: Half of the threads will be allocating memory and the
other half will be deallocating memory.
- Stage 3: Half of the threads will be deallocating memory and the
second half waiting on them to finish.
Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread.c' where each thread will
deallocate only the memory that was previously allocated by itself.
Add 'malloc/tst-aligned-alloc-random-thread-cross.c' where each thread
will deallocate memory that was previously allocated by another thread.

that similar allocation APIs are also exposed to the same rigors. Reviewed-by: Arjun Shankar <arjun@redhat.com>

elf: Fix localplt.awk for DT_RELR-enabled builds (BZ 31978)
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.

nptl: fix potential merge of __rseq_* relro symbols
While working on a patch to add support for the extensible rseq ABI, we
came across an issue where a new 'const' variable would be merged with
the existing '__rseq_size' variable. We tracked this to the use of
'-fmerge-all-constants' which allows the compiler to merge identical
constant variables. This means that all 'const' variables in a compile
unit that are of the same size and are initialized to the same value can
be merged.
In this specific case, on 32 bit systems 'unsigned int' and 'ptrdiff_t'
are both 4 bytes and initialized to 0 which should trigger the merge.
However for reasons we haven't delved into when the attribute 'section
(".data.rel.ro")' is added to the mix, only variables of the same exact
types are merged. As far as we know this behavior is not specified
anywhere and could change with a new compiler version, hence this patch.
Move the definitions of these variables into an assembler file and add
hidden writable aliases for internal use. This has the added bonus of
removing the asm workaround to set the values on rseq registration.

manual: Recommendations for dynamic linker hardening
This new section in the manual provides recommendations for
use of glibc in environments with higher integrity requirements.
It's reflecting both current implementation shortcomings, and
challenges we inherit from ELF and psABI requirements.
The new testcase elf/tst-tunables-enable_secure-env segfaults on s390 (31bit).
There _start parses the auxiliary vector for some additional checks.
Therefore it skips over the zeros after the environment variables ...
0x7fffac20: 0x7fffbd17 0x7fffbd32 0x7fffbd69 0x00000000
------------------------------------------------^^^last environment variable
... and then it parses the auxiliary vector and stops at AT_NULL.
0x7fffac30: 0x00000000 0x00000021 0x00000000 0x00000000
--------------------------------^^^AT_SYSINFO_EHDR--------------^^^AT_NULL
----------------^^^newp-----------------------------------------^^^oldp
Afterwards it tries to access AT_PHDR which points to somewhere and segfaults.
Due to not incorporating the skip_env variable in the computation of oldp
when shuffling down the auxv in rtld.c, it just copies one entry with AT_NULL
and value 0x00000021 and stops the loop. In reality we have skipped
GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable (=> skip_env=1). Thus we should copy from
here:
0x7fffac40: 0x00000021 0x7ffff000 0x00000010 0x007fffff

This patch fixes the computation of oldp when shuffling down auxiliary vector.
It also adds some checks in the testcase. Those checks also fail on
s390x (64bit) and x86_64 without the fix.

elf: Support recursive use of dynamic TLS in interposed malloc
It turns out that quite a few applications use bundled mallocs that
have been built to use global-dynamic TLS (instead of the recommended
initial-exec TLS). The previous workaround from
commit afe42e935b3ee97bac9a7064157587777259c60e ("elf: Avoid some
free (NULL) calls in _dl_update_slotinfo") does not fix all
encountered cases unfortunatelly.
This change avoids the TLS generation update for recursive use
of TLS from a malloc that was called during a TLS update. This
is possible because an interposed malloc has a fixed module ID and
TLS slot. (It cannot be unloaded.) If an initially-loaded module ID
is encountered in __tls_get_addr and the dynamic linker is already
in the middle of a TLS update, use the outdated DTV, thus avoiding
another call into malloc. It's still necessary to update the
DTV to the most recent generation, to get out of the slow path,
which is why the check for recursion is needed.
The bookkeeping is done using a global counter instead of per-thread
flag because TLS access in the dynamic linker is tricky.
All this will go away once the dynamic linker stops using malloc
for TLS, likely as part of a change that pre-allocates all TLS
during pthread_create/dlopen.

posix: Fix pidfd_spawn/pidfd_spawnp leak if execve fails (BZ 31695)
If the pidfd_spawn/pidfd_spawnp helper process succeeds, but evecve
fails for some reason (either with an invalid/non-existent, memory
allocation, etc.) the resulting pidfd is never closed, nor returned
to caller (so it can call close).
Since the process creation failed, it should be up to posix_spawn to
also, close the file descriptor in this case (similar to what it
does to reap the process).
This patch also changes the waitpid with waitid (P_PIDFD) for pidfd
case, to avoid a possible pid re-use.

The atomic_spin_nop() macro can be used to run arch-specific
code in the body of a spin loop to potentially improve efficiency.
RISC-V's Zihintpause extension includes a PAUSE instruction for
this use-case, which is encoded as a HINT, which means that it
behaves like a NOP on systems that don't implement Zihintpause.
Binutils supports Zihintpause since 2.36, so this patch uses
the ".insn" directive to keep the code compatible with older
toolchains.
The upcoming parisc (hppa) v6.11 Linux kernel will include vDSO
support for gettimeofday(), clock_gettime() and clock_gettime64()
syscalls for 32- and 64-bit userspace.
The patch below adds the necessary glue code for glibc.
