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.

if the length of the input was equal to the buffer size (128), a fixed
value of zero was written one byte past the end of the static buffer.

this could only happen if an incomplete auxv was passed into the
program, but it's better to just initialize the data anyway.

the fix in commit c3edc06d1e1360f3570db9155d6b318ae0d0f0f7 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.
|
|
these two tasks are independent now, but in order to support lazy
relocations, the failure path for symbol lookup may want the addend to
be available.

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.
