__libc_assert_fail needs to be stubbed out during rtld dependency

It uses the bitmask with rejection [1], which calculates a mask
being the lowest power of two bounding the request upper bound,
successively queries new random values, and rejects values
outside the requested range.
Performance-wise, there is no much gain in trying to conserve
bits since arc4random is wrapper on getrandom syscall. It should
be cheaper to just query a uint32_t value. The algorithm also
avoids modulo and divide operations, which might be costly
depending of the architecture.

Rather than buffering 16 MiB of entropy in userspace (by way of
chacha20), simply call getrandom() every time.
This approach is doubtlessly slower, for now, but trying to prematurely
optimize arc4random appears to be leading toward all sorts of nasty
properties and gotchas. Instead, this patch takes a much more
conservative approach. The interface is added as a basic loop wrapper
around getrandom(), and then later, the kernel and libc together can
work together on optimizing that.
This prevents numerous issues in which userspace is unaware of when it
really must throw away its buffer, since we avoid buffering all
together. Future improvements may include userspace learning more from
the kernel about when to do that, which might make these sorts of
chacha20-based optimizations more possible. The current heuristic of 16
MiB is meaningless garbage that doesn't correspond to anything the
kernel might know about. So for now, let's just do something
conservative that we know is correct and won't lead to cryptographic
issues for users of this function.
This patch might be considered along the lines of, "optimization is the
root of all evil," in that the much more complex implementation it
replaces moves too fast without considering security implications,
whereas the incremental approach done here is a much safer way of going
about things. Once this lands, we can take our time in optimizing this
properly using new interplay between the kernel and userspace.
getrandom(0) is used, since that's the one that ensures the bytes
returned are cryptographically secure. But on systems without it, we
fallback to using /dev/urandom. This is unfortunate because it means
opening a file descriptor, but there's not much of a choice. Secondly,
as part of the fallback, in order to get more or less the same
properties of getrandom(0), we poll on /dev/random, and if the poll
succeeds at least once, then we assume the RNG is initialized. This is a
rough approximation, as the ancient "non-blocking pool" initialized
after the "blocking pool", not before, and it may not port back to all
ancient kernels, though it does to all kernels supported by glibc
(≥3.2), so generally it's the best approximation we can do.
The motivation for including arc4random, in the first place, is to have
source-level compatibility with existing code. That means this patch
doesn't attempt to litigate the interface itself. It does, however,
choose a conservative approach for implementing it.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The implementation is based on scalar Chacha20 with per-thread cache.
It uses getrandom or /dev/urandom as fallback to get the initial entropy,
and reseeds the internal state on every 16MB of consumed buffer.
To improve performance and lower memory consumption the per-thread cache
is allocated lazily on first arc4random functions call, and if the
memory allocation fails getentropy or /dev/urandom is used as fallback.
The cache is also cleared on thread exit iff it was initialized (so if
arc4random is not called it is not touched).
Although it is lock-free, arc4random is still not async-signal-safe
(the per thread state is not updated atomically).
The ChaCha20 implementation is based on RFC8439 [1], omitting the final
XOR of the keystream with the plaintext because the plaintext is a
stream of zeros. This strategy is similar to what OpenBSD arc4random
does.
The arc4random_uniform is based on previous work by Florian Weimer,
where the algorithm is based on Jérémie Lumbroso paper Optimal Discrete
Uniform Generation from Coin Flips, and Applications (2013) [2], who
credits Donald E. Knuth and Andrew C. Yao, The complexity of nonuniform
random number generation (1976), for solving the general case.
The main advantage of this method is the that the unit of randomness is not
the uniform random variable (uint32_t), but a random bit. It optimizes the
internal buffer sampling by initially consuming a 32-bit random variable
and then sampling byte per byte. Depending of the upper bound requested,
it might lead to better CPU utilization.

GCC 4.9.0 added the alloc_align attribute to say that a function
argument specifies the alignment of the returned pointer. Clang supports
the attribute too. Using the attribute can allow a compiler to generate
better code if it knows the returned pointer has a minimum alignment.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/PR60092 for more details.
GCC implicitly knows the semantics of aligned_alloc and posix_memalign,
but not the obsolete memalign. As a result, GCC generates worse code
when memalign is used, compared to aligned_alloc. Clang knows about
aligned_alloc and memalign, but not posix_memalign.
This change adds a new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro to <sys/cdefs.h>
and then uses it on memalign (where it helps GCC) and aligned_alloc
(where GCC and Clang already know the semantics, but it doesn't hurt)
and xposix_memalign. It can't be used on posix_memalign because that
doesn't return a pointer (the allocated pointer is returned via a void**
parameter instead).
Unlike the alloc_size attribute, alloc_align only allows a single
argument. That means the new __attribute_alloc_align__ macro doesn't
really need to be used with double parentheses to protect a comma
between its arguments. For consistency with __attribute_alloc_size__
this patch defines it the same way, so that double parentheses are
required.

In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3, the size expression may be non-constant,
resulting in branches in the inline functions remaining intact and
causing a tiny overhead. Clang (and in future, gcc) make sure that
the -1 case is always safe, i.e. any comparison of the generated
expression with (size_t)-1 is always false so that bit is taken care
of. The rest is avoidable since we want the _chk variant whenever we
have a size expression and it's not -1.
Rework the conditionals in a uniform way to clearly indicate two
conditions at compile time:
- Either the size is unknown (-1) or we know at compile time that the
operation length is less than the object size. We can call the
original function in this case. It could be that either the length,
object size or both are non-constant, but the compiler, through
range analysis, is able to fold the *comparison* to a constant.
- The size and length are known and the compiler can see at compile
time that operation length > object size. This is valid grounds for
a warning at compile time, followed by emitting the _chk variant.
For everything else, emit the _chk variant.
This simplifies most of the fortified function implementations and at
the same time, ensures that only one call from _chk or the regular
function is emitted.

In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.
This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.
Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them. For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.
Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body. In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds. Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.
With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.
Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better. The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

To help detect common kinds of memory (and other resource) management
bugs, GCC 11 adds support for the detection of mismatched calls to
allocation and deallocation functions. At each call site to a known
deallocation function GCC checks the set of allocation functions
the former can be paired with and, if the two don't match, issues
a -Wmismatched-dealloc warning (something similar happens in C++
for mismatched calls to new and delete). GCC also uses the same
mechanism to detect attempts to deallocate objects not allocated
by any allocation function (or pointers past the first byte into
allocated objects) by -Wfree-nonheap-object.
This support is enabled for built-in functions like malloc and free.
To extend it beyond those, GCC extends attribute malloc to designate
a deallocation function to which pointers returned from the allocation
function may be passed to deallocate the allocated objects. Another,
optional argument designates the positional argument to which
the pointer must be passed.

being tracked by BZ#17924.
- Pointer arithmetic overflows in realpath (BZ#26592).
- Realpath cyclically call __alloca(path_max) to consume too much
stack space (BZ#26341).
- Realpath mishandles EOVERFLOW; stat not needed anyway (BZ#24970).
The check is done through faccessat now.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
