20dc3f8fa4b192d902d58f496ae15ff33faa78ac 27-Aug-2014 Christopher Ferris <cferris@google.com> Replace snprintf calls in linker.

When enabling debug malloc, the snprintf calls in the linker fails to
update the buffer.

The problem is that snprintf makes a call to pthread_getspecific that
returns a valid pointer, but the data it points to is zero. This should
never happen and causes the snprintf to stop and do nothing.

Temporarily replace snprintf with a different implementation to work
around this issue.

92d8b2320a4c3911452227f560ae4a39e83b0abf 23-Jul-2014 Nick Kralevich <nnk@google.com> debuggerd: if PR_GET_DUMPABLE=0, don't ask for dumping

PR_GET_DUMPABLE is used by an application to indicate whether or
not core dumps / PTRACE_ATTACH should work.

Security sensitive applications often set PR_SET_DUMPABLE to 0 to
disable core dumps, to avoid leaking sensitive memory to persistent
storage. Similarly, they also set PR_SET_DUMPABLE to zero to prevent
PTRACE_ATTACH from working, again to avoid leaking the contents
of sensitive memory.

Honor PR_GET_DUMPABLE when connecting to debuggerd. If an application
has said it doesn't want its memory dumped, then we shouldn't
ask debuggerd to dump memory on its behalf.

FORTIFY_SOURCE tests: Modify the fortify_source tests to set
PR_SET_DUMPABLE=0. This reduces the total runtime of
/data/nativetest/bionic-unit-tests/bionic-unit-tests32 from approx
53 seconds to 25 seconds. There's no need to connect to debuggerd
when running these tests.

b7e289ed028ee73fda4c044e07d3ec6f783a0ef4 26-Apr-2014 Elliott Hughes <enh@google.com> Pass si_code through to debuggerd.

Because we re-raise various signals, we corrupt the si_code that debuggerd
sees when it ptraces our siginfo. One possible solution (shown here) is to
pass the original si_code value in the message we send to debuggerd.

17e6a98b48c4f228adb37c8d37bbf71dd2a1c513 19-Apr-2014 Elliott Hughes <enh@google.com> Make libc signal handler output more like debuggerd.

This has been annoying me for a while, because it's often quite misleading.

Today, for example, I saw:

Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE) at 0x6573 (code=0), thread 25971 (top)

where the apparent address is actually the pid of the signal source (in this
case the kernel on behalf of the thread itself).

This patch isn't as fancy as strace, but it at least means we never say
anything misleading. We could decode the si_code field like strace and
debuggerd, but I'm reluctant to do that without some way to share the code
between at least bionic and debuggerd.

Examples after:

Fatal signal 13 (SIGPIPE), code 0 in tid 9157 (top)
Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1, fault addr 0x0 in tid 9142 (crasher64)
Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -6 in tid 9132 (crasher64)

(Note that the code still shows as 0 for SIGPIPE in the signal handler itself
but as -6 (SI_TKILL) in debuggerd; this is actually correct --- debuggerd is
showing the re-raised signal sent at the end of the signal handler that
initially showed the correct code 0.)

4eeb1f12a8b63afc0d0ad4d466b16fbffb21cd5a 26-Oct-2013 Elliott Hughes <enh@google.com> Clean up linker architecture macros.

We don't need our own architecture macros; the standard ones will do.

This patch also fixes some __x86_64__ tests to be USE_RELA tests instead,
because they're not actually x86_64-specific.

I've cleaned up architecture-specific code slightly so where possible
all the code corresponding to a particular architecture is together.

This patch also fixes a bug in LP64 DT_PLTGOT handling, which should be
an error rather than falling through into DT_DEBUG! There was another #ifdef
bug where we'd only report unexpected DT_ entries on MIPS.

This adds __libc_fatal, cleans up the internal logging code a bit more,
and switches suitable callers over to __libc_fatal. In addition to logging,
__libc_fatal stashes the message somewhere that the debuggerd signal handler
can find it before calling abort.

In the debuggerd signal handler, we pass this address to debuggerd so that
it can come back with ptrace to read the message and present it to the user.

We only need one logging API, and I prefer the one that does no
allocation and is thus safe to use in any context.

Also use O_CLOEXEC when opening the /dev/log files.

Move everything logging-related into one header file.

We had two copies of the backtrace code, and two copies of the
libcorkscrew /proc/pid/maps code. This patch gets us down to one.

We also had hacks so we could log in the malloc debugging code.
This patch pulls the non-allocating "printf" code out of the
dynamic linker so everyone can share.

This patch also makes the leak diagnostics easier to read, and
makes it possible to paste them directly into the 'stack' tool (by
using relative PCs).

This patch also fixes the stdio standard stream leak that was
causing a leak warning every time tf_daemon ran.
