[OE-core] [PATCH] [Dora] eglibc 2.18: powerpc: Fix time related syscalls

Fri Mar 28 12:56:40 UTC 2014
Concatenated fix of PowerPC time related system calls in eglibc 2.18 taken
from upstream glibc. See credits in patch header.
The effect is that some time related system calls returns nothing or garbage.
Tested on PowerPC e300c3.
Eglibc 2.17 does not have this issue and the patches are already part of 2.19.

+PowerPC: Fix vDSO missing ODP entries
+
+author Adhemerval Zanella <azanella at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+ Thu, 7 Nov 2013 11:34:22 +0000 (05:34 -0600)
+
+This patch fixes the vDSO symbol used directed in IFUNC resolver where
+they do not have an associated ODP entry leading to undefined behavior
+in some cases. It adds an artificial OPD static entry to such cases
+and set its TOC to non 0 to avoid triggering lazy resolutions.

+PowerPC: Fix ftime gettimeofday internal call returning bogus data
+
+author Adhemerval Zanella <azanella at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+ Thu, 16 Jan 2014 12:53:18 +0000 (06:53 -0600)
+
+This patches fixes BZ#16430 by setting a different symbol for internal
+GLIBC calls that points to ifunc resolvers. For PPC32, if the symbol
+is defined as hidden (which is the case for gettimeofday and time) the
+compiler will create local branches (symbol at local) and linker will not
+create PLT calls (required for IFUNC). This will leads to internal symbol
+calling the IFUNC resolver instead of the resolved symbol.
+For PPC64 this behavior does not occur because a call to a function in
+another translation unit might use a different toc pointer thus requiring
+a PLT call.

+PowerPC: Fix gettimeofday ifunc selection
+
+author Adhemerval Zanella <azanella at linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+ Mon, 20 Jan 2014 18:29:51 +0000 (12:29 -0600)
+
+The IFUNC selector for gettimeofday runs before _libc_vdso_platform_setup where
+__vdso_gettimeofday is set. The selector then sets __gettimeofday (the internal
+version used within GLIBC) to use the system call version instead of the vDSO one.
+This patch changes the check if vDSO is available to get its value directly
+instead of rely on __vdso_gettimeofday.
+
+This patch changes it by getting the vDSO value directly.
+
+It fixes BZ#16431.

++ Yet, the kernel does not contain any OPD entries for the VDSO functions
++ (incomplete implementation). However, PLT relocations for IFUNCs still expect
++ the address of an OPD to be returned from the IFUNC resolver function (since
++ PLT entries on PPC64 are just copies of OPDs). The solution for now is to
++ create an artificial static OPD for each VDSO function returned by a resolver
++ function. The TOC value is set to a non-zero value to avoid triggering lazy
++ symbol resolution via .glink0/.plt0 for a zero TOC (requires thread-safe PLT
++ sequences) when the dynamic linker isn't prepared for it e.g. RTLD_NOW. None
++ of the kernel VDSO routines use the TOC or AUX values so any non-zero value
++ will work. Note that function pointer comparisons will not use this artificial
++ static OPD since those are resolved via ADDR64 relocations and will point at
++ the non-IFUNC default OPD for the symbol. Lastly, because the IFUNC relocations
++ are processed immediately at startup the resolver functions and this code need
++ not be thread-safe, but if the caller writes to a PLT slot it must do so in a
++ thread-safe manner with all the required barriers. */
