Note: 'used' and 'retain' are orthogonal: 'used' makes sure the variable
will not be optimized out; 'retain' prevents section garbage collection
if the linker support SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
GNU ld 2.37 and LLD 13 will support -z start-stop-gc which allow C
identifier name sections to be GCed even if there are live
__start_/__stop_ references.
Without the change, there are some static linking problems, e.g.
_IO_cleanup (libio/genops.c) may be discarded by ld --gc-sections, so
stdout is not flushed on exit.
Note: GCC may warning 'retain' attribute ignored while __has_attribute(retain)

This essentially folds compat_symbol_unique functionality into
compat_symbol.
This change eliminates the need for intermediate aliases for defining
multiple symbol versions, for both compat_symbol and versioned_symbol.
Some binutils versions do not suport multiple versions per symbol on
some targets, so aliases are automatically introduced, similar to what
compat_symbol_unique did. To reduce symbol table sizes, a configure
check is added to avoid these aliases if they are not needed.
The new mechanism works with data symbols as well as function symbols,
due to the way an assembler-level redirect is used. It is not
compatible with weak symbols for old binutils versions, which is why
the definition of __malloc_initialize_hook had to be changed. This
is not a loss of functionality because weak symbols do not matter
to dynamic linking.
The placeholder symbol needs repeating in nptl/libpthread-compat.c
now that compat_symbol is used, but that seems more obvious than
introducing yet another macro.
A subtle difference was that compat_symbol_unique made the symbol
global automatically. compat_symbol does not do this, so static
had to be removed from the definition of
__libpthread_version_placeholder.

A subsequent change will require including <config.h> for defining
symbol_version_reference. <libc-symbol.h> should not include
<config.h> for _ISOMAC, so it cannot define symbol_version_reference
anymore, but symbol_version_reference is needed <shlib-compat.h> even
for _ISOMAC. Moving the definition of symbol_version_reference to a
separate file <libc-symver.h> makes it possible to use a single
definition for both cases.

This is helpful for testing compat symbols in cases where _ISOMAC
is activated implicitly due to -DMODULE_NAME=testsuite and cannot
be disabled easily.
This reverts commit 2682695e5c.
Fixes bug 27237.
That commit turned out to be too intrusive affecting crt files, test
system and benchmark files. They should not be affected, but the
build system does not set the MODULE_NAME and LIBC_NONSHARED reliably.
Hidden visibility can avoid indirections and RELATIVE relocs in
static PIE libc.
The check should use IS_IN_LIB instead of IS_IN(libc) since all
symbols are defined locally in static PIE and the optimization is
useful in all libraries not just libc. However the test system
links objects from libcrypt.a into dynamic linked test binaries
where hidden visibility does not work. I think mixing static and
shared libc components in the same binary should not be supported
usage, but to be safe only use hidden in libc.a.
On some targets (i386) this optimization cannot be applied because
hidden visibility PIE ifunc functions don't work, so it is gated by
NO_HIDDEN_EXTERN_FUNC_IN_PIE.
From -static-pie linked 'int main(){}' this shaves off 71 relative
relocs on aarch64 and reduces code size by about 2k.

We need NO_RTLD_HIDDEN because of the need for PLT calls in ld.so.

"in the Hurd it's crucial that calls like __mmap be the libc ones
instead of the rtld-local ones after the bootstrap phase, when the
dynamic linker is being used for dlopen and the like."
We used to just avoid all hidden use in the rtld ; this commit switches to
keeping only those that should use PLT calls, i.e. essentially those defined in
sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c:
__assert_fail
__assert_perror_fail
__*stat64
_exit
This fixes a few startup issues, notably the call to __tunable_get_val that is
made before PLTs are set up.
Sun RPC was removed from glibc. This includes rpcgen program, librpcsvc,

libtirpc is mature enough, librpcsvc and rpcgen are provided in

Tweak the PLT bypass magic when building glibc with long double
redirects. This is made more difficult by the fact we only get
one chance to redirect functions. This happens via the public
headers.
There are roughly three classes of redirect we need to attend to
today:
1. Simple redirects, redirected via cdef macro overrides and
and new libc_hidden_ldbl_proto macro.
2. Internal usage of internal API, e.g __snprintf, which has
no direct analogue. This is bypassed directly on case-by-
case basis.
3. Double redirects, e.g sscanf and related. These require
a heavier handed approach of macro renaming to existing
symbols.
Most simple redirects are handled via 1. Ideally, the libc_*
macro would live in libc-symbols.h, but in practice the macros
needed for it to do anything useful live in cdefs.h, so they
are defined in the local override.
Notably, the internal name of the asprintf generated for ieee ldbl
redirects is renamed to work with internal prefixed usage.
This resolves the local plt usage introduced when building glibc
with ldbl == ieee128 on ppc64le.

Exporting functions and relying on symbol interposition from libc.so
makes the choice of implementation dependent on DT_NEEDED order, which
is not what some compiler drivers expect.
This commit replaces one magic mechanism (symbol interposition) with
another one (preprocessor-/compiler-based redirection). This makes
the hand-over from the minimal malloc to the full malloc more
explicit.
Removing the ABI symbols is backwards-compatible because libc.so is
always in scope, and the dynamic loader will find the malloc-related
symbols there since commit f0b2132b35

Soft-float powerpc fails to build with current GCC mainline because of
use of libc_hidden_data_def for TLS variables, resulting in a non-TLS

resulting in a warning about it being ignored.
The problem here appears to be the non-TLS alias. This patch adds a
hidden_tls_def macro family, corresponding to the hidden_tls_proto
macros, to define TLS aliases properly in such a case, and uses it for
those powerpc soft-float variables.

GCC 9 has gained an enhancement to help detect attribute mismatches
between alias declarations and their targets. It consists of a new
warning, -Wattribute-alias, an enhancement to an existing warning,
-Wmissing-attributes, and a new attribute called copy.
The purpose of the warnings is to help identify either possible bugs
(an alias declared with more restrictive attributes than its target
promises) or optimization or diagnostic opportunities (an alias target
missing some attributes that it could be declared with that might
benefit analysis and code generation). The purpose of the new
attribute is to easily apply (almost) the same set of attributes
to one declaration as those already present on another.
As expected (and intended) the enhancement triggers warnings for
many alias declarations in Glibc code. This change, tested on
x86_64-linux, avoids all instances of the new warnings by making
use of the attribute where appropriate. To fully benefit from
the enhancement Glibc will need to be compiled with
-Wattribute-alias=2 and remaining warnings reviewed and dealt with
(there are a couple of thousand but most should be straightforward
to deal with).

The __libc_freeres framework does not extend to non-libc.so objects.
This causes problems in general for valgrind and mtrace detecting
unfreed objects in both libdl.so and libpthread.so. This change is
a pre-requisite to properly moving the malloc hooks out of malloc
since such a move now requires precise accounting of all allocated
data before destructors are run.
This commit adds a proper hook in libc.so.6 for both libdl.so and
for libpthread.so, this ensures that shm-directory.c which uses
freeit () to free memory is called properly. We also remove the
nptl_freeres hook and fall back to using weak-ref-and-check idiom
for a loaded libpthread.so, thus making this process similar for
all DSOs.
Lastly we follow best practice and use explicit free calls for
both libdl.so and libpthread.so instead of the generic hook process
which has undefined order.
Tested on x86_64 with no regressions.

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.

Declare ifunc resolver to return a pointer to the same type as the target
function to help GCC detect incompatibilities between the two when it's
enhanced to do so.
builds for powerpc64le fail in the declaration of some ifunc resolvers,
because the ifunc is declared with unmatching return types. One of the
declarations comes from the __ifunc_resolver macro, which was patched by
the aforementioned commit:
/* Helper / base macros for indirect function symbols. */
#define __ifunc_resolver(type_name, name, expr, arg, init, classifier) \
classifier inhibit_stack_protector \
__typeof (type_name) *name##_ifunc (arg) \
whereas the other comes from the unpatched __ifunc macro when
HAVE_GCC_IFUNC is not defined:
# define __ifunc(type_name, name, expr, arg, init) \
extern __typeof (type_name) name; \
void *name##_ifunc (arg) __asm__ (#name); \
This patch changes the return type of the ifunc resolver in the __ifunc
macro, so that it matches the return type of the target function,
similarly to what the aforementioned commit does.
Tested for powerpc64le and s390x with unpatched GCC.

Add hidden visibility to internal function prototypes

This test is using various objects from the build of libc. Some of
those objects contain references to __assert_fail. Because those
references are hidden, they cannot refer to __assert_fail from
libc.so. Given the tests using internal objects those symbols in
libc.a can't safely be made hidden, so this patch reverts the problem
commit until any alternative approach that doesn't break the build can
be found.

On Linux/i386, there are 3 ways to make a system call:
1. call *%gs:SYSINFO_OFFSET. This requires TLS initialization.
2. call *_dl_sysinfo. This requires relocation of _dl_sysinfo.
3. int $0x80. This is slower than #2 and #3, but works everywhere.
When an object file is compiled with PIC, #1 is prefered since it is
faster than #3 and doesn't require relocation of _dl_sysinfo. For
dynamic executables, ld.so initializes TLS. However, for static
executables, before TLS is initialized by __libc_setup_tls, #3 should
be used for system calls.
This patch adds <startup.h> which defines _startup_fatal and defaults
it to __libc_fatal. It replaces __libc_fatal with _startup_fatal in
static executables where it is called before __libc_setup_tls is called.
This header file is included in all files containing functions which are
called before __libc_setup_tls is called. On Linux/i386, when PIE is
enabled by default, _startup_fatal is turned into ABORT_INSTRUCTION and
I386_USE_SYSENTER is defined to 0 so that "int $0x80" is used for system
calls before __libc_setup_tls is called.
Tested on i686 and x86-64. Without this patch, all statically-linked
tests will fail on i686 when the compiler defaults to -fPIE.

(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.

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.

gnulib now has annotations on at least some functions to cater to
compilation with -Wunused-parameter. In order to follow suit cleanly,
I've added to libc-symbols.h some of the _GL_* macros that
gnulib-common.m4 puts into config.h. (I don't think they belong in
sys/cdefs.h, at least not without further thought.)
At this point all gnulib-side changes to getopt.c have been merged.
* include/libc-symbols.h: For gnulib compatibility, define
_GL_UNUSED, _GL_UNUSED_LABEL, _GL_ATTRIBUTE_PURE, and
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_CONST.
* posix/getopt.c (_getopt_initialize): Mark argc and argv
parameters with _GL_UNUSED.
When dynamically linking, ifunc resolvers are called before TLS is
initialized, so they cannot be safely stack-protected.
We avoid disabling stack-protection on large numbers of files by
using __attribute__ ((__optimize__ ("-fno-stack-protector")))
to turn it off just for the resolvers themselves. (We provide
the attribute even when statically linking, because we will later
use it elsewhere too.)
For many years, the only effect of these macros has been to make
unistd.h declare getlogin_r. _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L also causes
this function to be declared. However, people who don't carefully
read all the headers might be confused into thinking they need to
define _REENTRANT for any threaded code (as was indeed the case a long
time ago).
Therefore, remove __USE_REENTRANT, and make _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE
into synonyms for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L. This will only affect
programs that don't select a higher conformance level some other way.
For instance, -std=c89 -D_REENTRANT will see a change in visible
declarations, but -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -D_REENTRANT won't,
and -D_REENTRANT all by itself also won't, because _DEFAULT_SOURCE
implies _POSIX_C_SOURCE > 199506.
* include/features.h: Remove __USE_REENTRANT. Treat _REENTRANT
and _THREAD_SAFE the same as _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L, if a higher
POSIX conformance level has not been selected by other macros.
* NEWS, manual/creature.texi: Document this change.
* posix/unistd.h, posix/bits/unistd.h: Don't check __USE_REENTRANT.
* include/libc-symbols.h: Don't define _REENTRANT.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Don't undefine _REENTRANT.
This patch uses the libc_ifunc_hidden macro to create already existing ifunc functions
time and gettimeofday on intel. This way, the libc_hidden_def macro can be used
instead of the libc_ifunc_hidden_def one which was only used here. Thus the
macro is removed from libc-symbols.h.
On i386, the __GI_* symbols do not target the ifunc symbol and thus the
redirection construct has to be applied here.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Use libc_ifunc_hidden macro. Use libc_hidden_def instead of
libc_ifunc_hidden_def.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (time): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Redirect ifunced function in header for using it as type of ifunc'ed
function. Redefine libc_hidden_def to use fallback non ifunc'ed
function for __GI_* symbol.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (time): Likewise.
* include/libc-symbols.h
(libc_ifunc_hidden_def, libc_ifunc_hidden_def1): Delete macro.
The current s390 ifunc resolver for vector optimized functions and the common
libc_ifunc macro in include/libc-symbols.h uses something like that to generate ifunc'ed functions:
extern void *__resolve___strlen(unsigned long int dl_hwcap) asm (strlen);
asm (".type strlen, %gnu_indirect_function");
This leads to false debug information:
objdump --dwarf=info libc.so:

The debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function contains the DW_AT_linkage_name
field, which names the real function name "strlen". If you perform an inferior
function call to strlen in lldb, then it fails due to something like that:
"error: no matching function for call to 'strlen'
candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const char [6]'
to 'unsigned long' for 1st argument"
The unsigned long is the dl_hwcap argument of the resolver function.
The strlen function itself has no debufinfo.
The s390 ifunc resolver for memset & co uses something like that:
asm (".globl FUNC"
".type FUNC, @gnu_indirect_function"
".set FUNC, __resolve_FUNC");
This way the debuginfo for the ifunc-resolver function does not conain the
DW_AT_linkage_name field and the real function has no debuginfo, too.
Using this strategy for the vector optimized functions leads to some troubles
for functions like strnlen. Here we have __strnlen and a weak alias strnlen.
The __strnlen function is the ifunc function, which is realized with the asm-
statement above. The weak_alias-macro can't be used here due to undefined symbol:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:28:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

weak_alias (__strnlen, strnlen)
^
make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.o] Error 1
As the __strnlen function is defined with asm-statements the function name
__strnlen isn't known by gcc. But the weak alias can also be done with an
asm statement to resolve this issue:
__asm__ (".weak strnlen\n\t"
".set strnlen,__strnlen\n");
In order to use the weak_alias macro, gcc needs to know the ifunc function. The
minimum gcc to build glibc is currently 4.7, which supports attribute((ifunc)).
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/Function-Attributes.html.
It is only supported if gcc is configured with --enable-gnu-indirect-function
or gcc supports it by default for at least intel and s390x architecture.
This patch uses the old behaviour if gcc support is not available.
Usage of attribute ifunc is something like that:
__typeof (FUNC) FUNC __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_FUNC")));
Then gcc produces the same .globl, .type, .set assembler instructions like above.
And the debuginfo does not contain the DW_AT_linkage_name field and there is no
debuginfo for the real function, too.
But in order to get it work, there is also some extra work to do.
Currently, the glibc internal symbol on s390x e.g. __GI___strnlen is not the
ifunc symbol, but the fallback __strnlen_c symbol. Thus I have to omit the
libc_hidden_def macro in strnlen.c (here is the ifunc function __strnlen)
because it is already handled in strnlen-c.c (here is __strnlen_c).
Due to libc_hidden_proto (__strnlen) in string.h, compiling fails:
gcc ../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c -c ...
In file included from <command-line>:0:0:
../sysdeps/s390/multiarch/strnlen.c:53:24: error: ‘strnlen’ aliased to undefined symbol ‘__strnlen’

make[2]: *** [build/string/strnlen.os] Error 1
I have to redirect the prototypes for __strnlen in string.h and create a copy
of the prototype for using as ifunc function:
__typeof (__redirect___strnlen) __strnlen __attribute__ ((ifunc ("__resolve_strnlen")));
weak_alias (__strnlen, strnlen)
This way there is no trouble with the internal __GI_* symbols.
Glibc builds fine with this construct and the debuginfo is "correct".
For functions without a __GI_* symbol like memccpy this redirection is not needed.
This patch adjusts the common libc_ifunc and libm_ifunc macro to use gcc
attribute ifunc. Due to this change, the macro users where the __GI_* symbol
does not target the ifunc symbol have to be prepared with the redirection
construct.
Furthermore a configure check to test gcc support is added. If it is not supported,
the old behaviour is used.
This patch also prepares the libc_ifunc macro to be useable in s390-ifunc-macro.
The s390 ifunc-resolver-functions do have an hwcaps parameter and not all
resolvers need the same initialization code. The next patch in this series
changes the s390 ifunc macros to use this common one.

Existing interposed mallocs do not define the glibc-internal
fork callbacks (and they should not), so statically interposed
mallocs lead to link failures because the strong reference from
fork pulls in glibc's malloc, resulting in multiple definitions
of malloc-related symbols.
There are configure tests for assembler .weak support, and, as a
fallback, for .weakext support.
.weakext appears to be an ECOFF thing (although a few ELF targets
support it as well). .weak has been supported by the GNU assembler
for ELF targets since version 2.2, so given the requirement for ELF
the configure tests are obsolete; this patch removes them.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch).

There is a configure test for the assembler .previous directive, and,

With AIX port deprecated there is no need to check/define
HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME anymore since the current minimum binutils
supported (2.22) does not emit global symbol with dot.
This patch removes all the HAVE_ASM_GLOBAL_DOT_NAME definition and
checks for powerpc64 port.
