2003-01-30Again this comment was not updated. now we have 7 load sections.Dale Rahn
2003-01-30ELF security enhancement: put .rodata into it's own load section insteadDale Rahn
of putting it with the text. This removes the execute permission from readonly data. This constrains the executable region to portions of the executable which need to be executable. Note: not all processors or mmus are capable of -X protection at the page level, but should handle ELF images which specify specific RWX protections on each section.
2003-01-24This is a project to modify executables so that they do not have anyDale Rahn
executable regions which are writable. If a section of an executable is writable and executable, it is much easier for errant code to modify the executable's behavior. Two current areas in shared library environments which have this critical problem are the GOT (Global Offset Table) and PLT (Procedure Linkage Table). The PLT is required to be executable and both GOT and PLT are writable on most architectures. On most ELF architecture machines this would cause shared libraries to have data and BSS marked as executable. Padding to the linker script for programs and shared libraries/objects to isolate the GOT and PLT into their own load sections in the executables. This allows only the text(readonly) region and the PLT region to be marked executable with the normal data and BSS not marked as executable. The PLT region is still marked executable on most architectures because the PLT lives in the "data" or "BSS" regions and the dynamic loader will need to modify it. Since the GOT and PLT should only ever be written by the dynamic linker, it will be modified to mprotect those regions so that they are not writable during normal execution. If the dynamic linker needs to modify the regions later, (eg for lazy binding), it will mprotect the region, make the necessary changes, and mprotect it back. Since it is possible to receive a signal which would interrupt the program flow and perhaps cause the dynamic linker to modify the same (or nearby) PLT references, it is now necessary for signals to be blocked for the duration of the mprotect. This diff was omitted from the original commit, this implements the -Z option to produce traditional (non protected) executables.
2003-01-23Add a "DisableXProg" option to CVSROOT/config that can be used toTodd C. Miller
disable support for Update-prog and Checkin-prog. This is a good idea for anonymouse cvs servers or anyone who doesn't need this feature. From Stefan Esser.
2003-01-20In dirswitch(), don't free dir_name until right before allocatingTodd C. Miller
it again. This removes a potential double-free problem, whereby this function could free dir_name and then immediately return due to invalid directory syntax (without ever reassigning dir_name), then re-enter and free dir_name again. Fix from Stefan Esser.
2003-01-20No more libc_r and don't link explicitly with -lpthread Not havingTodd C. Miller
-lpthread may confuse perl's Configure since it wants to nm libs to see what is in them butu I haven't noticed any problems with this (yet).
2003-01-19give a second chance for loading dependent modules:Marc Espie
look in the path of the main map before giving up. ok deraadt@. (This fixes a few kde issues, and removes loads of needs for ldconfig)
2003-01-19revamp .init call code to be saner:Marc Espie
- build a tree of modules inter-dependencies. - make sure dependent modules are .init'ed before depending modules. - flag initialization so that cycles don't bork ld.so. okay deraadt@, drahn@.
2003-01-19In error message from dependent libraries, mention which dependent libraryMarc Espie
is trying to load another library.

2003-01-14Bye-bye libc_r. libc_r and libnpthread go away. libpthreadMarco S Hyman
takes their place. The -pthread option to gcc uses libpthread. ppc portion of patch from drahn@ (thanks). gcc portions of patch OK espie@. Ports testing (no bad effects!) by naddy@ best build sequence is: build gcc, build system, build ports remove /usr/lib/lib{c_r,npthread}.*. Note, once libc_r and libnpthread is removed threaded ports will stop working until they have been re-built using the libpthread and the updated gcc. That's why the above build sequence is recommended.
2003-01-13Add a compatibilty flag '-Z' for upcoming elf changes, does nothing currentlyDale Rahn
but will produce old style executables when the other changes appear.

2003-01-07attribute(sentinel) improvements:Marc Espie
- move __null node to c-common.c so that sentinel can check for it (since g++ __null is `special') - rework diagnostics to be more clear. In particular, distinguish `not terminated' from `terminated with a 0 of the wrong type' ok miod@, millert@
