[PATCH 0/1] V3 fix powerpc PIE/PIC + secure-plt builds

by Yann Sionneau

This is the 3rd iteration of the patch, here are the changes with regard to previous one: * more precise description of the problem. * only set r30 in PIC+secureplt case as it seems indeed to be the only case which causes problem. Secureplt without PIC does not need r30. * don't rely on uclibc being already built: now we check for secure-plt by doing $(CC) --verbose and searching for the ./configure parameters of GCC for "--enable-secureplt".

Race condition in LinuxThread's sigaction wrapper

by Vladimir Murzin

Hi I got report about race condition in LinuxThread's sigaction wrapper located in libpthread/linuxthreads/signals.c In sigaction wrapper A.1) override handler for new action to point at pthread_sighandler A.2) __libc_sigaction A.3) update global array (sighandler) used by pthread_sighandler with real action (from new) pthread_sighandler B.1) find real action (indexed by signal number) B.2) unconditionally execute action IIUC, if we receive signal in a window between A.2 and A.3 we are missing executing real action (likely we try to execute NULL). Does that make sense? Cheers Vladimir

[PATCH] powerpc: fix builds with newer gcc/binutils which use secureplt by default

by yann＠sionneau.net

From: Yann Sionneau <yann(a)sionneau.net> This patch fixes segfault of all user space processes (including init, which caused a panic) on recent buildroot powerpc32 builds. Recent buildroot toolchain enables secure PLT in powerpc gcc. The latter will then supply -msecure-plt to gas invocations by default. For the secure PLT to work, the r30 register needs to point to the GOT. Old "bss plt" was just a one-instruction-wide PLT slot, pointed-to by a R_PPC_JMP_SLOT relocation, which was written on-the-fly to contain a branch instruction to the correct address. It therefore had to stay writable. New secure PLT only contains read-only code which loads the branch address from the writable GOT.

[Powerpc] HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 and BR2_PIC_PIE

by Romain Naour

Hello, Recently in Buildroot the option BR2_PIC_PIE has been enabled by default along with other hardening features [1]. Since then some ppc defconfig such qemu_ppc_e500mc_defconfig are failing to boot due to a segfault in init program. The segfault appear very early in __uClibc_main while starting any binaries, an issue located in crt1.S (powerpc)[2]. After some trial and error, removing HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 from CFLAGS [3] allow to generate a working system again. But this is actually wrong since instead we should consider HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 always true nowadays. Indeed, Glibc removed HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 since version 2.22 [4] since "the minimum binutils supports rel16 relocs". Binutils 2.22 supports R_PPC_REL16 as default. uClibc-ng should remove HAVE_ASM_PPC_REL16 but keep the code as it was defined. But this doesn't fix the initial issue. Any idea ?
