commit 822914f1f1f4710ff252764ee634aa07ac565d53 Author: Jonathan Wakely Date: Wed Nov 11 19:26:00 2020 libstdc++: Ensure __gthread_self doesn't call undefined weak symbol [PR 95989] Since glibc 2.27 the pthread_self symbol has been defined in libc rather than libpthread. Because we only call pthread_self through a weak alias it's possible for statically linked executables to end up without a definition of pthread_self. This crashes when trying to call an undefined weak symbol. We can use the __GLIBC_PREREQ version check to detect the version of glibc where pthread_self is no longer in libpthread, and call it directly rather than through the weak reference. It would be better to check for pthread_self in libc during configure instead of hardcoding the __GLIBC_PREREQ check. That would be somewhat complicated by the fact that prior to glibc 2.27 only libc.so.6 contained the pthread_self symbol. The configure checks would need to try to link both statically and dynamically, and the result would depend on whether the static libc.a happens to be installed during configure (which could vary between different systems using the same version of glibc). Doing it properly is left for a future date, as it will be needed anyway after glibc moves all pthread symbols from libpthread to libc. When that happens we should revisit the whole approach of using weak symbols for pthread symbols. For the purposes of std::this_thread::get_id() we create a fake non-zero thread ID ((__gthread_t)1) when using glibc but not linked to libpthread. When using glibc 2.27 or later pthread_self() never returns zero so we don't need to use (__gthread_t)1 for new glibc. An undesirable consequence of this change is that code compiled prior to the change might inline the old definition of this_thread::get_id() which always returns (__gthread_t)1 in a program that isn't linked to libpthread. Code compiled after the change will use pthread_self() and so get a real TID. That could result in the main thread having different thread::id values in different translation units. This seems acceptable, as there are not expected to be many uses of thread::id in programs that aren't linked to libpthread. libgcc/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/95989 * gthr-posix.h (__gthread_self) [__GLIBC_PREREQ(2, 27)]: Call pthread_self directly rather than using weak alias. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/95989 * config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h (_GLIBCXX_NATIVE_THREAD_ID): Define new macro to get reliable thread ID. * include/std/thread (this_thread::get_id): Use new macro if it's defined. diff --git a/libgcc/gthr-posix.h b/libgcc/gthr-posix.h index 965247602acf..dc34645d1c52 100644 --- a/libgcc/gthr-posix.h +++ b/libgcc/gthr-posix.h @@ -684,7 +684,18 @@ __gthread_equal (__gthread_t __t1, __gthread_t __t2) static inline __gthread_t __gthread_self (void) { +#if defined __GLIBC__ && defined __GLIBC_PREREQ +# if __GLIBC_PREREQ(2, 27) + /* Since Glibc 2.27, pthread_self is defined in libc not libpthread. + * Call it directly so that we get a non-weak reference and won't call + * an undefined weak symbol when linked to the libc.a static lib. */ + return pthread_self (); +# else return __gthrw_(pthread_self) (); +# endif +#else + return __gthrw_(pthread_self) (); +#endif } static inline int diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h b/libstdc++-v3/config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h index f821486ec8f5..ca61ecf60f62 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h +++ b/libstdc++-v3/config/os/gnu-linux/os_defines.h @@ -49,4 +49,14 @@ // version dynamically in case it has changed since libstdc++ was configured. #define _GLIBCXX_NO_OBSOLETE_ISINF_ISNAN_DYNAMIC __GLIBC_PREREQ(2,23) +#if ! __GLIBC_PREREQ(2, 27) +// Since glibc 2.27 pthread_self() is usable without linking to libpthread. +// Before then it was in libc.so.6 but not libc.a, and always returns 0, +// which breaks the invariant this_thread::get_id() != thread::id{}. +// So only use it if we know the libpthread version is available. +// Otherwise just use (__gthread_t)1 as the ID of the main (and only) thread. +#define _GLIBCXX_NATIVE_THREAD_ID \ + (__gthread_active_p() ? __gthread_self() : (__gthread_t)1) +#endif + #endif diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/thread b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/thread index 080036e26097..66d30901ac5f 100644 --- a/libstdc++-v3/include/std/thread +++ b/libstdc++-v3/include/std/thread @@ -350,15 +350,11 @@ _GLIBCXX_BEGIN_NAMESPACE_VERSION inline thread::id get_id() noexcept { -#ifdef __GLIBC__ - // For the GNU C library pthread_self() is usable without linking to - // libpthread.so but returns 0, so we cannot use it in single-threaded - // programs, because this_thread::get_id() != thread::id{} must be true. - // We know that pthread_t is an integral type in the GNU C library. - if (!__gthread_active_p()) - return thread::id(1); -#endif +#ifdef _GLIBCXX_NATIVE_THREAD_ID + return thread::id(_GLIBCXX_NATIVE_THREAD_ID); +#else return thread::id(__gthread_self()); +#endif } #endif // _GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS
