DTV setup at thread creation (_dl_allocate_tls_init) is changed to take the dlopen lock, GL(dl_load_lock). Avoiding data races here without locks would require design changes: the map that is accessed for static TLS initialization here may be concurrently freed by dlclose. That use after free may be solved by only locking around static TLS setup or by ensuring dlclose does not free modules with static TLS, however currently every link map with TLS has to be accessed at least to see if it needs static TLS. And even if that's solved, still a lot of atomics would be needed to synchronize DTV related globals without a lock. So fix both bug 19329 and bug 27111 with a lock that prevents DTV setup running concurrently with dlopen or dlclose. _dl_update_slotinfo at TLS access still does not use any locks so CONCURRENCY NOTES are added to explain the synchronization. The early exit from the slotinfo walk when max_modid is reached is not strictly necessary, but does not hurt either. An incorrect acquire load was removed from _dl_resize_dtv: it did not synchronize with any release store or fence and synchronization is now handled separately at thread creation and TLS access time. There are still a number of racy read accesses to globals that will be changed to relaxed MO atomics in a followup patch. This should not introduce regressions compared to existing behaviour and avoid cluttering the main part of the fix. Not all TLS access related data races got fixed here: there are additional races at lazy tlsdesc relocations see bug 27137. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arc*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv32-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
