<content type='text'>
Static PIE extends address space layout randomization to static
executables.  It provides additional security hardening benefits at
the cost of some memory and performance.

Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address.  This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE).  A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker.  When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as
static PIE.  The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie.  But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie.  Only GCC
with PIE support is needed.  When an older GCC is used to build glibc
with --enable-static-pie, proper input files are passed to linker to
create static executables as static PIE, together with "-z text" to
prevent dynamic relocations in read-only segments, which are not allowed
in static PIE.

The following changes are made for static PIE:

1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to:
   a. Get the run-time load address.
   b. Read the dynamic section.
   c. Perform dynamic relocations.
Dynamic linker also performs these steps.  But static PIE doesn't load
any shared objects.
2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in
libc.a.  crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static
executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie.
rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real
_dl_relocate_static_pie.  grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE
with -pg.  GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for
static PIE.

Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided:

1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic
relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with
function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main.  All
functions in static PIE are local functions.  If PIE start.S can't reach
main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence:

	pass address of local_main to __libc_start_main
	...

local_main:
	tail call to main via PLT

can be used.
2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and
avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined,
to support static PIE.
3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code
path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections.
4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static
symbol name.
5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static
PIE.
6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section
so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static
PIE.

NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc.
When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless whether GCC defaults to PIE or not.  The same
libc.a can be used to build both static executable and static PIE.
There is no need for separate PIE copy of libc.a.

On x86-64, the normal static sln:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 625425	   8284	   5456	 639165	  9c0bd	elf/sln

the static PIE sln:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 657626	  20636	   5392	 683654	  a6e86	elf/sln

The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%.

Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:

1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE.  The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782

The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax"
to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally.

Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64.  But linker status for
other targets need to be verified.

3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269

4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS
relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263

Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

<title>Add elision tunables</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1].   Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection.  This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].

Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

[1] This part of the patch was initially proposed by
Paul Murphy but was "staled" because the framework have changed
since the patch was originally proposed:

https://patchwork.sourceware.org/patch/10342/

[2] This part of the patch was inititally proposed as a RFC by
Carlos O'Donnell.  Make sense to me integrate this on the patch:

	* elf/dl-tunables.list: Add elision parameters.
	* manual/tunables.texi: Add entries about elision tunable.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/elision-conf.c:
	Add callback functions to dynamically enable/disable elision.
	Add multiple callbacks functions to set elision parameters.
	Deleted __libc_enable_secure check.

This patch assumes VIS3 support by binutils, which is supported since
version 2.22.  This leads to some code simplification, mostly on
multiarch build where there is only one variant instead of previously
two (whether binutils supports VIS3 instructions or not).

For multiarch files where HAVE_AS_VIS3_SUPPORT was checked and
the default implementation was built with a different name, a new
file with (implementation with -generic appended) is added.

Checked on sparc64-linux-gnu and sparcv9-linux-gnu.

On the Hurd, the rtld needs to see its own dumb versions of a few functions
(defined in sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c) overridden by libc's versions once
loaded. rtld should thus not have hidden attribute for these.  To achieve this,
the Hurd port used to just define NO_HIDDEN, which disables it completely. For
now, this changes that to disabling it for all rtld functions, for simplicity.

All calls to functions with the internal_function attribute
have been removed from assembler implementations, which means that
the definition of internal_function can be changed at the C level
without causing ABI issues with assembler code.

_dl_fixup still uses a regparm calling convention on i386, but this
is controlled through ARCH_FIXUP_ATTRIBUTE, not internal_function.

<id>7c3018f9e4de2e9d1f03a749be41b5eced6f9834</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a new build module called 'testsuite'.
IS_IN (testsuite) implies _ISOMAC, as do IS_IN_build and __cplusplus
(which means several ad-hoc tests for __cplusplus can go away).
libc-symbols.h now suppresses almost all of *itself* when _ISOMAC is
defined; in particular, _ISOMAC mode does not get config.h
automatically anymore.

There are still quite a few tests that need to see internal gunk of
one variety or another.  For them, we now have 'tests-internal' and
'test-internal-extras'; files in this category will still be compiled
with MODULE_NAME=nonlib, and everything proceeds as it always has.
The bulk of this patch is moving tests from 'tests' to
'tests-internal'.  There is also 'tests-static-internal', which has
the same effect on files in 'tests-static', and 'modules-names-tests',
which has the *inverse* effect on files in 'modules-names' (it's
inverted because most of the things in modules-names are *not* tests).
For both of these, the file must appear in *both* the new variable and
the old one.

There is also now a special case for when libc-symbols.h is included
without MODULE_NAME being defined at all.  (This happens during the
creation of libc-modules.h, and also when preprocessing Versions
files.)  When this happens, IS_IN is set to be always false and
_ISOMAC is *not* defined, which was the status quo, but now it's
explicit.

The remaining changes to C source files in this patch seemed likely to
cause problems in the absence of the main change.  They should be
relatively self-explanatory.  In a few cases I duplicated a definition
from an internal header rather than move the test to tests-internal;
this was a judgement call each time and I'm happy to change those
however reviewers feel is more appropriate.

	* Makerules: New subdir configuration variables 'tests-internal'
	and 'test-internal-extras'.  Test files in these categories will
	still be compiled with MODULE_NAME=nonlib.  Test files in the
	existing categories (tests, xtests, test-srcs, test-extras) are
	now compiled with MODULE_NAME=testsuite.
	New subdir configuration variable 'modules-names-tests'.  Files
	which are in both 'modules-names' and 'modules-names-tests' will
	be compiled with MODULE_NAME=testsuite instead of
	MODULE_NAME=extramodules.
	(gen-as-const-headers): Move to tests-internal.
	(do-tests-clean, common-mostlyclean): Support tests-internal.
	* Makeconfig (built-modules): Add testsuite.
	* Makefile: Change libof-check-installed-headers-c and
	libof-check-installed-headers-cxx to 'testsuite'.
	* Rules: Likewise.  Support tests-internal.
	* benchtests/strcoll-inputs/filelist#en_US.UTF-8:
	Remove extra-modules.mk.

	* config.h.in: Don't check for __OPTIMIZE__ or __FAST_MATH__ here.
	* include/libc-symbols.h: Move definitions of _GNU_SOURCE,
	PASTE_NAME, PASTE_NAME1, IN_MODULE, IS_IN, and IS_IN_LIB to the
	very top of the file and rationalize their order.
	If MODULE_NAME is not defined at all, define IS_IN to always be
	false, and don't define _ISOMAC.
	If any of IS_IN (testsuite), IS_IN_build, or __cplusplus are
	true, define _ISOMAC and suppress everything else in this file,
	starting with the inclusion of config.h.
	Do check for inappropriate definitions of __OPTIMIZE__ and
	__FAST_MATH__ here, but only if _ISOMAC is not defined.
        Correct some out-of-date commentary.

	* include/math.h: If _ISOMAC is defined, undefine NO_LONG_DOUBLE
	and _Mlong_double_ before including math.h.
	* include/string.h: If _ISOMAC is defined, don't expose
	_STRING_ARCH_unaligned. Move a comment to a more appropriate
	location.

	* include/errno.h, include/stdio.h, include/stdlib.h, include/string.h
	* include/time.h, include/unistd.h, include/wchar.h: No need to
	check __cplusplus nor use __BEGIN_DECLS/__END_DECLS.

	* misc/sys/cdefs.h (__NTHNL): New macro.
	* sysdeps/m68k/m680x0/fpu/bits/mathinline.h
	(__m81_defun): Use __NTHNL to avoid errors with GCC 6.

	* elf/tst-env-setuid-tunables.c: Include config.h with _LIBC
	defined, for HAVE_TUNABLES.
	* inet/tst-checks-posix.c: No need to define _ISOMAC.
	* intl/tst-gettext2.c: Provide own definition of N_.
	* math/test-signgam-finite-c99.c: No need to define _ISOMAC.
	* math/test-signgam-main.c: No need to define _ISOMAC.
	* stdlib/tst-strtod.c: Convert to test-driver. Split locale_test to...
	* stdlib/tst-strtod1i.c: ...this new file.
	* stdlib/tst-strtod5.c: Convert to test-driver and add copyright notice.
        Split tests of __strtod_internal to...
	* stdlib/tst-strtod5i.c: ...this new file.
	* string/test-string.h: Include stdint.h. Duplicate definition of
	inhibit_loop_to_libcall here (from libc-symbols.h).
	* string/test-strstr.c: Provide dummy definition of
	libc_hidden_builtin_def when including strstr.c.
	* sysdeps/ia64/fpu/libm-symbols.h: Suppress entire file in _ISOMAC
	mode; no need to test __STRICT_ANSI__ nor __cplusplus as well.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/math-tests-arch.h: Include cpu-features.h.
	Don't include init-arch.h.
	* sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/test-multiarch.h: Include cpu-features.h.
	Don't include init-arch.h.

	* elf/Makefile: Move tst-ptrguard1-static, tst-stackguard1-static,
	tst-tls1-static, tst-tls2-static, tst-tls3-static, loadtest,
	unload, unload2, circleload1, neededtest, neededtest2,

	tst-tls6, tst-tls7, tst-tls8, tst-dlmopen2, tst-ptrguard1,
	tst-stackguard1, tst-_dl_addr_inside_object, and all of the
	ifunc tests to tests-internal.
	Don't add $(modules-names) to test-extras.
	* inet/Makefile: Move tst-inet6_scopeid_pton to tests-internal.
	Add tst-deadline to tests-static-internal.
	* malloc/Makefile: Move tst-mallocstate and tst-scratch_buffer to
	tests-internal.
	* misc/Makefile: Move tst-atomic and tst-atomic-long to tests-internal.

        Link tests-internal with libpthread also.
	Don't add $(modules-names) to test-extras.

<content type='text'>
glibc's implementation of getopt includes code to parse an environment
variable named _XXX_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_ (where XXX is the
current process's PID in decimal); but all of it has been #ifdefed out
since 2001, with no official way to turn it back on.

According to commentary in our config.h.in, bash version 2.0 set this
environment variable to indicate argv elements that were the result of
glob expansion and therefore should not be treated as options, but the
feature was "disabled later" because "it caused problems".  According
to bash's CHANGES file, "later" was release 2.01; it gives no more
detail about what the problems were.

Version 2.0 of bash was released on the last day of 1996, and version
2.01 in June of 1997.  Twenty years later, I think it is safe to
assume that this environment variable isn't coming back.

	* config.h.in (USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS): Remove.
	* csu/init-first.c: Remove all #ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/init-first.c: Likewise.
	* posix/getopt_int.h: Likewise.
	* posix/getopt.c: Likewise. Also remove SWAP_FLAGS and the
	__libc_argc and __libc_argv externs, which were only used by
	#ifdef USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS blocks.
	* posix/getopt_init.c: Remove file.
	* posix/Makefile (routines): Remove getopt_init.
	* include/getopt.h: Don't declare __getopt_initialize_environment.
	* manual/getopt.texi: Remove mention of USE_NONOPTION_FLAGS in
	a comment.
