Previously, calling _int_free from _int_memalign could put remainders
into the tcache or into fastbins, where they are invisible to the
low-level allocator. This results in missed merge opportunities
because once these freed chunks become available to the low-level
allocator, further memalign allocations (even of the same size are)
likely obstructing merges.
Furthermore, during forwards merging in _int_memalign, do not
completely give up when the remainder is too small to serve as a
chunk on its own. We can still give it back if it can be merged
with the following unused chunk. This makes it more likely that
memalign calls in a loop achieve a compact memory layout,
independently of initial heap layout.
Drop some useless (unsigned long) casts along the way, and tweak
the style to more closely match GNU on changed lines.

The trim_threshold is too aggressive a heuristic to decide if chunk
reuse is OK for reallocated memory; for repeated small, shrinking
allocations it leads to internal fragmentation and for repeated larger
allocations that fragmentation may blow up even worse due to the dynamic
nature of the threshold.
Limit reuse only when it is within the alignment padding, which is 2 *
size_t for heap allocations and a page size for mmapped allocations.
There's the added wrinkle of THP, but this fix ignores it for now,
pessimizing that case in favor of keeping fragmentation low.
This resolves BZ #30579.

The tst-mallocfork2 and tst-mallocfork3 create large number of

for malloc async-signal-safeness on both fork and _Fork. However
they do not really exercise allocation patterns different than
other tests fro malloc itself, and the spawned process just exit
without any extra computation.
The tst-malloc-tcache-leak is similar, but creates 100k threads
and already checks the resulting with mallinfo.
These tests are also very sensitive to system load (since they
estresss heavy the kernel resource allocation), and adding them
on THP tunable and mcheck tests increase the pressure even more.
For THP the fork tests do not add any more coverage than other

Based on these comments in malloc.c:
size field is or'ed with NON_MAIN_ARENA if the chunk was obtained
from a non-main arena. This is only set immediately before handing
the chunk to the user, if necessary.
The NON_MAIN_ARENA flag is never set for unsorted chunks, so it
does not have to be taken into account in size comparisons.
When we pull a chunk off the unsorted list (or any list) we need to
make sure that flag is set properly before returning the chunk.
Use the rounded-up size for chunk_ok_for_memalign()
Do not scan the arena for reusable chunks if there's no arena.

This patch adds a chunk scanning algorithm to the _int_memalign code
path that reduces heap fragmentation by reusing already aligned chunks
instead of always looking for chunks of larger sizes and splitting
them. The tcache macros are extended to allow removing a chunk from
the middle of the list.
The goal is to fix the pathological use cases where heaps grow
continuously in workloads that are heavy users of memalign.

malloc-check bypasses.

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2023. This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.
This patch is analogous to commit
a3708cf6b0.
atoi has undefined behavior on out-of-range input, which makes it
problematic to use anywhere in glibc that might be processing input
out-of-range for atoi but not specified to produce undefined behavior
for the function calling atoi. In conjunction with the C2x strtol
changes, use of atoi in libc can also result in localplt test failures
because the redirection for strtol does not interact properly with the
libc_hidden_proto call for __isoc23_strtol for the call in the inline
atoi implementation.
In malloc/arena.c, this issue shows up for atoi calls that are only
compiled for --disable-tunables (thus with the
x86_64-linux-gnu-minimal configuration of build-many-glibcs.py, for
example). Change those atoi calls to use strtol directly, as in the
previous such changes.
Tested for x86_64 (--disable-tunables).
If there is enough space in the chunk to satisfy the new size, return
the old pointer as is, thus avoiding any locks or reallocations. The
only real place this has a benefit is in large chunks that tend to get
satisfied with mmap, since there is a large enough spare size (up to a
page) for it to matter. For allocations on heap, the extra size is
typically barely a few bytes (up to 15) and it's unlikely that it would
make much difference in performance.
Also added a smoke test to ensure that the old pointer is returned
unchanged if the new size to realloc is within usable size of the old
pointer.

Address space for heap segments is reserved in a mmap call with
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE and protection flags PROT_NONE. This
reservation does not count against the RSS limit of the process or
system. Backing memory is allocated using mprotect in alloc_new_heap
and grow_heap, and at this point, the allocator expects the kernel
to provide memory (subject to memory overcommit).
The SIGSEGV that might generate due to MAP_NORESERVE (according to
the mmap manual page) does not seem to occur in practice, it's always
SIGKILL from the OOM killer. Even if there is a way that SIGSEGV
could be generated, it is confusing to applications that this only
happens for secondary heaps, not for large mmap-based allocations,
and not for the main arena.

As a result of these changes, malloc no longer needs its own
redefinition of __assert_fail.
__libc_assert_fail needs to be stubbed out during rtld dependency
analysis because the rtld rebuilds turn __libc_assert_fail into
__assert_fail, which is unconditionally provided by elf/dl-minimal.c.
This change is not possible for the public assert macro and its

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.
