Changes in the v3 patch.

1. Skip GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS on input shared
libraries since they may not be the same at run-time.
2. Align "ld --help" outout for "-z indirect-extern-access".

Changes in the v2 patch.

1. Rename GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_SINGLE_GLOBAL_DEFINITION to
GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS.
2. Rename the option to -z [no]indirect-extern-access and move it to
ld/emulparams/extern_protected_data.sh.
3. Clear the indirect external access bit in executable when there are
non-GOT or non-PLT relocations in relocatable input files without this
bit set.
4. Add more tests.

---
On systems with copy relocation:
* A copy in executable is created for the definition in a shared library
at run-time by ld.so.
* The copy is referenced by executable and shared libraries.
* Executable can access the copy directly.

Issues are:
* Overhead of a copy, time and space, may be visible at run-time.
* Read-only data in the shared library becomes read-write copy in
executable at run-time.
* Local access to data with the STV_PROTECTED visibility in the shared
library must use GOT.

On systems without function descriptor, function pointers vary depending
on where and how the functions are defined.
* If the function is defined in executable, it can be the address of
function body.
* If the function, including the function with STV_PROTECTED visibility,
is defined in the shared library, it can be the address of the PLT entry
in executable or shared library.

Issues are:
* The address of function body may not be used as its function pointer.
* ld.so needs to search loaded shared libraries for the function pointer
of the function with STV_PROTECTED visibility.

Here is a proposal to remove copy relocation and use canonical function
pointer:

1. Accesses, including in PIE and non-PIE, to undefined symbols must
use GOT.
  a. Linker may optimize out GOT access if the data is defined in PIE or
  non-PIE.
2. Read-only data in the shared library remain read-only at run-time
3. Address of global data with the STV_PROTECTED visibility in the shared
library is the address of data body.
  a. Can use IP-relative access.
  b. May need GOT without IP-relative access.
4. For systems without function descriptor,
  a. All global function pointers of undefined functions in PIE and
  non-PIE must use GOT.  Linker may optimize out GOT access if the
  function is defined in PIE or non-PIE.
  b. Function pointer of functions with the STV_PROTECTED visibility in
  executable and shared library is the address of function body.
   i. Can use IP-relative access.
   ii. May need GOT without IP-relative access.
   iii. Branches to undefined functions may use PLT.
5. Single global definition marker:

Add GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED:

#define GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED GNU_PROPERTY_UINT32_OR_LO

to indicate the needed properties by the object file.

Add GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS:

#define GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS (1U << 0)

to indicate that the object file requires canonical function pointers and
cannot be used with copy relocation.  This bit should be cleared in
executable when there are non-GOT or non-PLT relocations in relocatable
input files without this bit set.

  a. Protected symbol access within the shared library can be treated as
  local.
  b. Copy relocation should be disallowed at link-time and run-time.
  c. GOT function pointer reference is required at link-time and run-time.

The indirect external access marker can be used in the following ways:

1. Linker can decide the best way to resolve a relocation against a
protected symbol before seeing all relocations against the symbol.
2. Dynamic linker can decide if it is an error to have a copy relocation
in executable against the protected symbol in a shared library by checking
if the shared library is built with -fno-direct-extern-access.

Linker change:

If any relocatable input files contain the indirect external access
marker:
* Generate the indirect external access marker in output.
  a. Linker should clear the indirect external access bit in executable
     when there are non-GOT or non-PLT relocations in relocatable input
     files without this bit set.
* Avoid copy relocation if possible.
* Access to symbols with the STV_PROTECTED visibility is the same as
local access.
* For systems without function descriptor, function pointer is the address
of function body.

If GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS is set on any input
relocatable files:

1. Don't generate copy relocations.
2. Turn off extern_protected_data since it implies
GNU_PROPERTY_NO_COPY_ON_PROTECTED.
3. Treate reference to protected symbols with indirect external access
as local.
4. Set GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS on output.
5. When generating executable, clear this bit when there are non-GOT or
non-PLT relocations in input relocatable files without the bit set.
6. Add -z [no]indirect-extern-access to control indirect external access.

Should the property be used just for error checking?  We would flip the
default unconditionally.  Such a behavioral change simply based on some
input file is quite surprising.

For (4), I think we need to set a different flag (or perhaps even
flags), and be really careful about what we do.  I think an output file
that is an executable will never require indirect-extern-access, but it
can be incompatible with indirect-extern-access objects at run time.
Shared objects as output files may themselves depend on
indirect-extern-access objects at run time.  Ideally, markup would be
applied to the relocations that are affected by the changes in the ABI.

Thanks,
Florian

The property is used to to allow compiling sources with
-fno-direct-extern-access
by pieces.  When creating a shared library, if one input relocatable file
is compiled with -fno-direct-extern-access, linker will bind all protected
symbols locally before seeing ALL relocations against them in different
input relocatables files.

What did you mean by that?  We need to compile executable with
-fno-direct-extern-access for the whole scheme to work.

That is what my glibc changes do:

$ ./elf/tst-protected1a
./elf/tst-protected1a: protected1:
/export/build/gnu/tools-build/glibc-gitlab/build-x86_64-linux/elf/tst-protected1moda.so:
copy relocation against non-copyable protected symbol
$ readelf -r ./elf/tst-protected1a | grep COPY
0000004071d8  004300000005 R_X86_64_COPY     00000000004071d8 protected1 + 0
0000004071dc  004600000005 R_X86_64_COPY     00000000004071dc protected3 + 0

This error happens only if there is a copy relocation against protected symbol
definition compiled with -fno-direct-extern-access.

What is the advantage of this behavior?  Why should the presence of one
such object file in the link cause symbol binding behavior change
everywhere?  Especially if that one file does not even reference any
protected symbols?

indirect-extern-access imposes a requirement on executables, but
building an executable to comply with the new requirements will not
impose anything on the rest of the link.  I do not see the markup
covering that.

Does this mean that executables do not need any markup at all, and that
looking at the relocation types is sufficient?  (Same for canonical
function addresses.)

Thanks,

It makes linker work better.  If there are no protected symbols, there should
be no impact.

That is correct.

The absence of the marker tells ld.so that copy relocation against
protected symbols in the executable is incompatible with the shared
library with the protected symbol AND the marker.

No.  The key is the absence of the marker:

static inline void __attribute__ ((always_inline))
_dl_check_protected_symbol (const char *undef_name,
    const struct link_map *undef_map,
    const ElfW(Sym) *ref,
    const struct link_map *map,
    int type_class)
{
  if (undef_map != NULL
      && undef_map->l_type == lt_executable
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      && !(undef_map->l_1_needed
   & GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
      && (map->l_1_needed
  & GNU_PROPERTY_1_NEEDED_INDIRECT_EXTERN_ACCESS))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    {
      if ((type_class & ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_COPY))
/* Disallow copy relocations in executable against protected
   data symbols in a shared object which needs indirect external
   access.  */
_dl_signal_error (0, map->l_name, undef_name,
  N_("copy relocation against non-copyable protected symbol"));
      else if (ref->st_value != 0
       && ref->st_shndx == SHN_UNDEF
       && (type_class & ELF_RTYPE_CLASS_PLT))
/* Disallow non-zero symbol values of undefined symbols in
   executable, which are used as the function pointer, against
   protected function symbols in a shared object with indirect
   external access.  */
_dl_signal_error (0, map->l_name, undef_name,
  N_("non-canonical reference to canonical protected function"));
    }
}

This function is called on each protected symbol lookup.

Maybe I don't completely understand the direction in which is is moving.

Is the idea to phase out copy relocations in general?  Or just disable
them for protected symbols?

Thanks,
Florian

I want to phase out copy relocation to avoid dynamic relocation on defined
protected symbols.  I want to forbid copy relocation only if it is against a
shared library with the marker.
