glibc 2.34 - Slushy freeze effective immediately.

glibc 2.34 - Slushy freeze effective immediately.

[Carlos O'Donell via Libc-alpha]

Community,

We are in slushy freeze right now. I'm reviewing the last of the ABI
changes we want to make in glibc 2.34.

The ABI changes that are currently under review:

- Move nss_dns into libc.
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2407

- Remove malloc hooks.
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2406

- nss_files move.
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2386

- Add close_range, closefrom, and posix_spawn_file_actions_closefrom_np
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2363

- Define PTHREAD_STACK_MIN to sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN)
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2345

- x86: Install <bits/platform/x86.h> [BZ #27958]
https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list/?series=2272

If you have any others please respond to this thread and we can discuss
the inclusion requirements.

Carlos.

The ABI freeze is now hard freeze, I would like to avoid any further ABI
changes that are not on this list.

If you have an ABI change please reach and respond to this thread 
immediately with the request.

I would like to spend this week and next fixing any remaining bugs
and doing machine testing.

I have reviewed v2 and I think it should be included in 2.34.

I have just reviewed the final v3 changes so this should go in on Monday.
 
> - Remove malloc hooks.

I have reviewed v8 and I think it should be included in 2.34.

I'll review a v9 for inclusion.

This was reviewed by Adhemerval and committed July 7th.

This was committed by Adhemerval on July 8th.

I have reviewed this, and it was committed by HJ on July 9th.

I have reviewed this and requested some changes.

I have reviewed this again and I am discussing the final wording with HJ.

I think this should be included in glibc 2.34 and we will get there.

I suggest to add __ioctl_time64 and related functions on 32-bit, for
future-proofing the time64 ABI:

  Additional time64 aliases

This is now complete, we have time64 aliases so this part of the ABI is now frozen.

Actually, turns out I'm wrong, we need a few more hours for this.

We'll be frozen soon.

I've pushed my two time64 patches.  I don't have anything else left.

I'm reviewing v3 right now.

I consider the ABI final at this point.

Do we still have time for the posix_spawnattr_tcsetpgrp_np [1]? I think the
code should be simple enough.

No, I do not think we have enough time, or to be more precise I want 
to review the use case, ask Godmar to verify that API does what is
required, and *then* include it in the release.

I want to use the remaining 6 days to fix bugs without any further
ABI work.

I would like to see:
- LD_AUDIT bugs fixed.
- pthread condvar bugs fixed.
- C.UTF-8 added as supported (resolved Florian's last comment about U+FFFD usage).

Carlos.

I've posted a few fixes to mtrace, build fixes for hurd and
disable-tunables, etc.  Could they be considered too?  Oh, and the
setlocale error checking.

I want to minimize the number of changes we make this week.

If they can wait until glibc 2.35 opens then I think they should.

We can backport fixes into the released 2.34 branch if they are relevant
to Fedora 35 e.g. setlocale error checking.

The build fix for hurd is very trivial, and needed to be able to get
make check
to produce an actual output.

Absolutely, we should review this and merge it.

I see the 32-bit builder failed this series:
NONE -> FAIL : socket/tst-socket-timestamp
NONE -> FAIL : socket/tst-socket-timestamp-time64

Carlos, this again does seems another container runtime filtering issue.
The non 64-bit shows the following log: 

../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-socket-timestamp.c:156: numeric comparison failure
   left: 1 (0x1); from: errno
  right: 9 (0x9); from: EBADF
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-socket-timestamp.c:94: numeric comparison failure
   left: -1 (0xffffffff); from: r
  right: 4 (0x4); from: sizeof (int)
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tst-socket-timestamp.c:95: numeric comparison failure
   left: -84852 (0xfffeb48c); from: msg
  right: 0 (0x0); from: exp_msg
Didn't expect signal from child: got `Segmentation fault'

The first issue on line 156 is:

155   TEST_COMPARE (recvmmsg (-1, NULL, 0, 0, NULL), -1);
156   TEST_COMPARE (errno, EBADF);

It means that a recvmmsg syscall is returning EPERM instead of EBADF
for an *invalid* file descriptor, even with the input size is set to
0 (which should not trigger any EFAULT from the kernel).

The another issue is that the recvmsg/recvmmsg is failing for some
reason:

 85   int r;
 86   if (use_multi_call)
 87     {
 88       r = recvmmsg (s, &mmhdr, 1, 0, NULL);
 89       if (r >= 0)
 90         r = mmhdr.msg_len;
 91     }
 92   else
 93     r = recvmsg (s, &mmhdr.msg_hdr, 0);
 94   TEST_COMPARE (r, sizeof (int));
 95   TEST_COMPARE (msg, exp_msg);

I tested both 32-bit and 64-bit tests on multiple kernel (3.10, 4.4, 4.15,
and 5.11) without any issue, but all without any container runtime.

The tests creates and binds on a random TCP/IP port, so it *might* be the
case. I think I can use a socketpair using AF_UNIX for this tests (I need
to verify if SO_TIMESTAMPNS are set for such case), but I will need some
strace output to understand exactly why it is failing on the buildbot.

It was a mistake to export _r_debug from ld.so:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28130

I'd like to deprecate _r_debug in glibc 2.34 and replace it with:

/* Return the address of that structure used by the dynamic linker.  */
extern struct r_debug * __r_debug_location (void) __attribute_const__;
#define _r_debug (*__r_debug_location ())

so that I can extend struct r_debug for libraries loaded with dlmopen:

We need to keep it as a symbol because debuggers use it.

If GCC had a an attribute that says, no copy relocation please, we could
perhaps use that in <link.h>.

Maybe we can turn it into a compat symbol.  But it's too late for such
changes in glibc 2.34.

The replacement could use a separate symbol version (GLIBC_DEBUG) with
different ABI stability rules, which would pave the way towards
backporting.

Thanks,
Florian

_r_debug is only needed in the static executable.  Debuggers should use
DT_DEBUG for dynamic executables.

We can make it a compat symbol:

1. Add a function, __r_debug_location, which returns the address of
_r_debug:

/* Return the address of that structure used by the dynamic linker.  */
extern struct r_debug * __r_debug_location (void) __attribute_const__;

2. Hide _r_debug in ld.so by defining _r_debug with __r_debug_location:

 #define _r_debug (*__r_debug_location ())

The existing dynamic executables with _r_debug reference will get a copy
of _r_debug which won't be updated by ld.so.  But DT_DEBUG will work with
debuggers.
3. The static executables linked against glibc 2.34 will get the _r_debug
symbol from __r_debug_location definition in libc.a.

There is no need for a special version symbol.   I have a proposal to make
it both forward and backward compatible.

We don't really know that for sure, do we?  This needs more
investigation, and we are out of time for the release.

If it's GLIBC_2.35, we won't be able to backport it.

There is no need for that.  Debuggers can easily find the unique
instance, and there are no other uses.

This needs more review, and is too late for glibc 2.34.

I'm happy to review the situation once we open glibc 2.35.

I think that fixing _r_debug and discussing dlmopen will take several
weeks to achieve consensus and review existing best practice and
patches.

Do you have a strong objection to waiting for glibc 2.35?
