rtld: Add rtld.nns tunable for the number of supported namespaces

8 July 16:32 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS is 1664 bytes currently which is not enough to support DL_NNS (== 16) number of dynamic link namespaces, if we assume 192 bytes of TLS are reserved for libc use and 144 bytes are reserved for other system libraries that use IE TLS. A new tunable is introduced to control the number of supported namespaces and to adjust the surplus static TLS size as follows: surplus_tls = 192 * (rtld.nns-1) + 144 * rtld.nns + 512 The default is rtld.nns == 4 and then the surplus TLS size is the same as before, so the behaviour is unchanged by default.

rtld: Account static TLS surplus for audit modules

8 July 16:32 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

The new static TLS surplus size computation is surplus_tls = 192 * (nns-1) + 144 * nns + 512 where nns is controlled via the rtld.nns tunable.

rtld: Avoid using up static TLS surplus for optimizations [BZ #25051]

8 July 16:32 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

On some targets static TLS surplus area can be used opportunistically for dynamically loaded modules such that the TLS access then becomes faster (TLSDESC and powerpc TLS optimization).

zink: expose depth-clip if supported

8 July 14:43 - Mesa - Erik Faye-Lund

We already set up the state as needed, so it should only be a matter of exposing it.

aarch64: Add pac-ret support to assembly files

8 July 14:02 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

Use return address signing in assembly files for functions that save LR when pac-ret is enabled in the compiler. The GNU property note for PAC-RET is not meaningful to the dynamic linker so it is not strictly required, but it may be used to track the security property of binaries.

aarch64: fix pac-ret support in _mcount

8 July 14:02 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

Currently gcc -pg -mbranch-protection=pac-ret passes signed return address to _mcount, so _mcount now has to always strip pac from the frompc since that's from user code that may be built with pac-ret. This is gcc PR target/94791: signed pointers should not escape and get passed across extern call boundaries, since that's an ABI break, but because existing gcc has this issue we work it around in glibc until that is resolved.

aarch64: add NEWS entry about branch protection support

8 July 14:02 - glibc - Szabolcs Nagy

This is a new security feature that relies on architecture extensions and needs glibc to be built with a gcc configured with branch protection.

aarch64: Add BTI support to assembly files

8 July 14:02 - glibc - Sudakshina Das

To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form of a GNU property note. The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that may be indirectly called.

aarch64: enable BTI at runtime

8 July 14:02 - glibc - Sudakshina Das

Binaries can opt-in to using BTI via an ELF object file marking.

arm: CVE-2020-6096: Fix multiarch memcpy for negative length [BZ #25620]

8 July 12:18 - glibc - Alexander Anisimov

Unsigned branch instructions could be used for r2 to fix the wrong behavior when a negative length is passed to memcpy.

SetLOKSpecialOutputArea() call must precede SetOutputArea()

8 July 09:44 - LibreOffice - Dennis Francis

The ordering matters at the moment (unfortunately), since EditView::SetOutputArea(), after updating the output-area it also sends the LOK messages(cursor/selection) immediately.

glsl: add capability to lower mediump array types

8 July 02:02 - Mesa - Marek Olšák

This is not needed for lowering expressions, because they always work with basic types, but it will be needed for lowering variables.

glsl: lower mediump temporaries to 16 bits except structures (v2)

8 July 02:02 - Mesa - Marek Olšák

Without this, NIR contains non-lowerable 32-bit phis for mediump variables.

nss: Remove cryptographic key support from nss_files, nss_nis, nss_nisplus

7 July 18:20 - glibc - Florian Weimer

The interface has hard-coded buffer sizes and is therefore tied to DES.

avcodec/h26[45]_metadata_bsf: Use separate contexts for reading/writing

7 July 03:07 - FFmpeg - Andreas Rheinhardt

Currently, both bsfs used the same CodedBitstreamContext for reading and writing; as a consequence, the state of the writer's context at the beginning of writing a fragment is exactly the state of the reader after having read the fragment; in particular, the writer might not have encountered one of its active parameter sets yet. This is not nice and may lead to invalid output even when the input is completely spec-compliant: Think of an access unit containing a primary coded picture referencing a PPS with id id (that is known from an earlier access unit/from extradata), then a new version of the PPS with id id and then a redundant coded picture that is also referencing the PPS with id id.

freedreno/ir3: fix/rework tess levels

6 July 12:48 - Mesa - Jonathan Marek

The previous version assumes tess level outputs will only be written once in the shader, however its not possible to guarantee that. It also assumes all invocations will write all the levels, which is also not guaranteed. This is required to fix the "tesselation" and "terraintessellation" demos with turnip. The comment about nir_lower_io_to_temporaries in lower_tess_ctrl_block is removed because nir_lower_io_to_temporaries specifically skips TESS_CTRL shaders so the comment doesn't make sense. The split load for tess levels workaround is removed, the new version only has scalar access unless if ever gets vectorized. This sets NIR_COMPACT_ARRAYS cap to avoid the glsl tess vec lowering with gallium.
