[PATCH] hppa: Fix data race in setting function descriptors during lazy binding


This patch fixes the data race in setting function descriptors during lazy binding (Bug 23296).

It addresses an issue that is present mainly on SMP machines running threaded code.  In a typical
indirect call or PLT import stub, the target address is loaded first.  Then the global pointer
is loaded into the PIC register in the delay slot of a branch to the target address.  During lazy
binding, the target address is a trampoline which transfers to _dl_runtime_resolve().

_dl_runtime_resolve() uses the relocation offset stored in the global pointer and the linkage map
stored in the trampoline to find the relocation.  Then, the function descriptor is updated.

In a multi-threaded application, it is possible for the global pointer to be updated between the
load of the target address and the global pointer.  When this happens, the relocation offset has
been replaced by the new global pointer.  The function pointer has probably been updated as well
but there is no way to find the address of the function descriptor and to transfer to the target.
So, _dl_runtime_resolve() typically crashes.

HP-UX addressed this problem by adding an extra pc-relative branch to each descriptor.  The
descriptor is initially setup to point to the branch.  The branch then transfers to the trampoline.
This allowed the trampoline code to figure out which descriptor was being used without any
modification to user code.  I didn't use this approach as it is more complex and potentially
changes function pointer canonicalization.

The order of loading the target address and global pointer in indirect calls was not consistent
with the order used in import stubs.  In particular, $$dyncall and some inline versions of it
loaded the global pointer first.  This was inconsistent with the global pointer being updated
first in dl-machine.h.  Assuming the accesses are ordered, we want elf_machine_fixup_plt() to
store the global pointer first and calls to load it last.  Then, the global pointer will be
correct when the target function is entered.

However, just to make things more fun, HP added support for out-of-order execution of accesses
in PA 2.0.  The accesses used by calls are weakly ordered. So, it's possibly under some circumstances
that a function might be entered with the wrong global pointer.  However, HP uses weakly ordered
accesses in 64-bit HP-UX, so I assume that loading the global pointer in the delay slot of the
branch must work consistently.

The basic fix for the race is a combination of modifying user code to preserve the address of the
function descriptor in register %r22 and setting the least-significant bit in the relocation offset.
The latter was suggested by Carlos as a way to distinguish relocation offsets from global pointer
values.  Conventionally, %r22 is used as the address of the function descriptor in calls to $$dyncall.
So, it wasn't hard to preserve the address in %r22.

I have updated gcc trunk and gcc-9 branch to not clobber %r22 in $$dyncall and inline indirect calls.
I have also modified the import stubs in binutils trunk and the 2.33 branch to preserve %r22.  This
required making the stubs one instruction longer but we save one relocation.  I also modified binutils
to align the .plt section on a 8-byte boundary.  This allows descriptors to be updated atomically.

With these changes, _dl_runtime_resolve() can fallback to an alternate mechanism to find the relocation
offset when it has been clobbered.  There's just one additional instruction in the fast path. I tested
the fallback function, _dl_fix_reloc_arg(), by changing the branch to always use the fallback.  Old
code still runs as it did before.

_dl_runtime_profile() assembles but I don't think the testsuite exercises it sufficiently.

With this change, I haven't observed any problem with lazy binding in several testsuite runs.  With 2.29,
builds fail almost every time on Debian unstable.
