### POSIX

2017-12-14 00:18:15 +01:00
|
|
|
You can see the current status with respect to POSIX in the form of tests:

|
2017-12-14 00:18:15 +01:00
|
|
|
Some POSIX functionality is not supported by the Linux kernel, and
|
|
|
|
|
is guarded with tests for `__linux__`. Other functionality is not
|
|
|
|
|
supported by bionic or glibc, and guarded with tests for `__BIONIC__`
|
|
|
|
|
and `__GLIBC__`. In other cases historical accidents mean 32-bit
|
|
|
|
|
bionic diverged but 64-bit bionic matches POSIX; these are guarded with
|
|
|
|
|
`__LP64__`.

Most bionic-only diversions should be accompanied by an explanatory comment.

Current libc symbols: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/libc.map.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
2019-04-18 23:27:24 +02:00
|
|
|
New libc functions in R (API level 30):
|
|
|
|
|
* Full C11 `<threads.h>` (available as inlines for older API levels).
|
2019-08-05 22:53:01 +02:00
|
|
|
* `memfd_create` and `mlock2` (GNU extensions).
|
2019-04-17 22:01:06 +02:00
|
|
|
* `renameat2` (GNU extension).
|
2019-08-05 23:10:17 +02:00
|
|
|
* `pthread_cond_clockwait`/`pthread_mutex_clocklock`/`pthread_rwlock_clockrdlock`/`pthread_rwlock_clockwrlock`/`sem_clockwait`
|
2019-04-18 23:27:24 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2020-01-17 00:23:58 +01:00
|
|
|
New libc behavior in R (API level 30):
|
|
|
|
|
* [fdsan](fdsan.md) now aborts when it detects common file descriptor errors,
|
|
|
|
|
rather than just logging.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-08-30 23:25:32 +02:00
|
|
|
New libc functions in Q (API level 29):
|
2018-07-17 22:26:14 +02:00
|
|
|
* `timespec_get` (C11 `<time.h>` addition)
|
2018-09-18 21:52:42 +02:00
|
|
|
* `reallocarray` (BSD/GNU extension in `<malloc.h>` and `<stdlib.h>`)
|
2018-07-17 22:26:14 +02:00
|
|
|
* `res_randomid` (in `<resolv.h>`)
|
2018-09-05 21:00:55 +02:00
|
|
|
* `pthread_sigqueue` (GNU extension)
|
2018-10-23 20:23:00 +02:00
|
|
|
* `getloadavg` (BSD/GNU extension in <stdlib.h>)
|
2018-09-05 21:00:55 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New libc behavior in Q (API level 29):
|
2019-03-27 03:07:40 +01:00
|
|
|
* Whole printf family now supports the GNU `%m` extension, rather than a
|
|
|
|
|
special-case hack in `syslog`.
|
|
|
|
|
* `popen` now always uses `O_CLOEXEC`, not just with the `e` extension.
|
|
|
|
|
* Bug fixes to handling of UTF-8 U+fffe/U+ffff and code points above U+10ffff.
|
|
|
|
|
* `aligned_alloc` correctly verifies that `size` is a multiple of `alignment`.
|
2019-03-20 19:21:46 +01:00
|
|
|
* Using `%n` with the printf family is now reported as a FORTIFY failure.
|
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of Android would ignore the `%n` but not consume the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding pointer argument, leading to obscure errors. The scanf family
|
|
|
|
|
is unchanged.
|
2019-03-27 03:07:40 +01:00
|
|
|
* Support in strptime for `%F`, `%G`, `%g`, `%P`, `%u`, `%V`, and `%v`.
|
|
|
|
|
(strftime already supported them all.)
|
2020-01-17 00:23:58 +01:00
|
|
|
* [fdsan](fdsan.md) detects and logs common file descriptor errors at runtime.
|
2018-07-17 22:26:14 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2018-08-30 23:25:32 +02:00
|
|
|
New libc functions in P (API level 28):
|
2019-03-02 01:40:59 +01:00
|
|
|
* `aligned_alloc`
|
2017-08-28 18:18:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* `__freading`/`__fwriting` (completing <stdio_ext.h>)
|
2017-11-28 02:00:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* `endhostent`/`endnetent`/`endprotoent`/`getnetent`/`getprotoent`/`sethostent`/`setnetent`/`setprotoent` (completing <netdb.h>)
|
2017-10-19 23:35:18 +02:00
|
|
|
* `fexecve`
|
2017-10-31 01:47:12 +01:00
|
|
|
* `fflush_unlocked`/`fgetc_unlocked`/`fgets_unlocked`/`fputc_unlocked`/`fputs_unlocked`/`fread_unlocked`/`fwrite_unlocked`
|
2017-10-07 01:58:36 +02:00
|
|
|
* `getentropy`/`getrandom` (adding <sys/random.h>)
|
2017-08-28 18:18:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* `getlogin_r`
|
2017-10-07 01:58:36 +02:00
|
|
|
* `glob`/`globfree` (adding <glob.h>)
|
2017-11-28 02:00:16 +01:00
|
|
|
* `hcreate`/`hcreate_r`/`hdestroy`/`hdestroy_r`/`hsearch`/`hsearch_r` (completing <search.h>)
|
2017-08-28 18:18:34 +02:00
|
|
|
* `iconv`/`iconv_close`/`iconv_open` (adding <iconv.h>)
|
Implement pthread_attr_getinheritsched/pthread_attr_setinheritsched.
Historically, Android defaulted to EXPLICIT but with a special case
because SCHED_NORMAL/priority 0 was awkward. Because the code couldn't
actually tell whether SCHED_NORMAL/priority 0 was a genuine attempt to
explicitly set those attributes (because the parent thread is SCHED_FIFO,
say) or just because the pthread_attr_t was left at its defaults.
Now we support INHERIT, we could call sched_getscheduler to see whether
we actually need to call sched_setscheduler, but since the major cost
is the fixed syscall overhead, we may as well just conservatively
call sched_setscheduler and let the kernel decide whether it's a
no-op. (Especially because we'd then have to add both sched_getscheduler
and sched_setscheduler to any seccomp filter.)
Platform code (or app code that only needs to support >= P) can actually
add a call to pthread_attr_setinheritsched to say that they just want
to inherit (if they know that none of their threads actually mess with
scheduler attributes at all), which will save them a sched_setscheduler
call except in the doubly-special case of SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK (which we
do handle).
An alternative would be "make pthread_attr_setschedparams and
pthread_attr_setschedprio set EXPLICIT and change the platform default
to INHERIT", but even though I can only think of weird pathological
examples where anyone would notice that change, that behavior -- of
pthread_attr_setschedparams/pthread_attr_setschedprio overriding an
earlier call to pthread_attr_setinheritsched -- isn't allowed by POSIX
(whereas defaulting to EXPLICIT is).
If we have a lot of trouble with this change in the app compatibility
testing phase, though, we'll want to reconsider this decision!
-*-
This change also removes a comment about setting the scheduler attributes
in main_thread because we'd have to actually keep them up to date,
and it's not clear that doing so would be worth the trouble.
Also make async_safe_format_log preserve errno so we don't have to be
so careful around it.

## Target API level behavioral differences
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most bionic bug fixes and improvements have been made without checks for
|
|
|
|
|
the app's `targetSdkVersion`. As of O there were exactly two exceptions,
|
|
|
|
|
but there are likely to be more in future because of Project Treble.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Invalid `pthread_t` handling (targetSdkVersion >= O)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As part of a long-term goal to remove the global thread list,
|
|
|
|
|
and in an attempt to flush out racy code, we changed how an invalid
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_t` is handled. For `pthread_detach`, `pthread_getcpuclockid`,
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_getschedparam`/`pthread_setschedparam`, `pthread_join`, and
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_kill`, instead of returning ESRCH when passed an invalid
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_t`, if you're targeting O or above, they'll abort with the
|
|
|
|
|
message "attempt to use invalid pthread\_t".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that this doesn't change behavior as much as you might think: the
|
|
|
|
|
old lookup only held the global thread list lock for the duration of
|
|
|
|
|
the lookup, so there was still a race between that and the dereference
|
|
|
|
|
in the caller, given that callers actually need the tid to pass to some
|
|
|
|
|
syscall or other, and sometimes update fields in the `pthread_internal_t`
|
|
|
|
|
struct too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can't check a thread's tid against 0 to see whether a `pthread_t`
|
|
|
|
|
is still valid because a dead thread gets its thread struct unmapped
|
|
|
|
|
along with its stack, so the dereference isn't safe.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To fix your code, taking the affected functions one by one:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `pthread_getcpuclockid` and `pthread_getschedparam`/`pthread_setschedparam`
|
|
|
|
|
should be fine. Unsafe calls to those seem highly unlikely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Unsafe `pthread_detach` callers probably want to switch to
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_attr_setdetachstate` instead, or use
|
|
|
|
|
`pthread_detach(pthread_self());` from the new thread's start routine
|
|
|
|
|
rather than calling detach in the parent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `pthread_join` calls should be safe anyway, because a joinable thread
|
|
|
|
|
won't actually exit and unmap until it's joined. If you're joining an
|
|
|
|
|
unjoinable thread, the fix is to stop marking it detached. If you're
|
|
|
|
|
joining an already-joined thread, you need to rethink your design!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Unsafe `pthread_kill` calls aren't portably fixable. (And are obviously
|
|
|
|
|
inherently non-portable as-is.) The best alternative on Android is to
|
|
|
|
|
use `pthread_gettid_np` at some point that you know the thread to be
|
|
|
|
|
alive, and then call `kill`/`tgkill` with signal 0 (which checks
|
|
|
|
|
whether a process exists rather than actually sending a
|
|
|
|
|
signal). That's still not completely safe because if you're too late
|
|
|
|
|
the tid may have been reused, but your code is inherently unsafe without
|
|
|
|
|
a redesign anyway.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Interruptable `sem_wait` (targetSdkVersion >= N)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
POSIX says that `sem_wait` can be interrupted by delivery of a
|
|
|
|
|
signal. This wasn't historically true in Android, and when we fixed this
|
|
|
|
|
bug we found that existing code relied on the old behavior. To preserve
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility, `sem_wait` can only return EINTR on Android if the app
|
|
|
|
|
targets N or later.

## FORTIFY
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` macro can be used to enable extra
|
|
|
|
|
automatic bounds checking for common libc functions. If a buffer
|
|
|
|
|
overrun is detected, the program is safely aborted as in this
|
2019-06-28 05:42:38 +02:00
|
|
|
[example](https://source.android.com/devices/tech/debug/native-crash#fortify).
|
2018-05-01 22:13:47 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that in recent releases Android's FORTIFY has been extended to
|
|
|
|
|
cover other issues. It can now detect, for example, passing `O_CREAT`
|
|
|
|
|
to open(2) without specifying a mode. It also performs some checking
|
|
|
|
|
regardless of whether the caller was built with FORTIFY enabled. In P,
|
|
|
|
|
for example, calling a `pthread_mutex_` function on a destroyed mutex,
|
|
|
|
|
calling a `<dirent.h>` function on a null pointer, using `%n` with the
|
|
|
|
|
printf(3) family, or using the scanf(3) `m` modifier incorrectly will
|
|
|
|
|
all result in FORTIFY failures even for code not built with FORTIFY.

blog post.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Android platform is built with `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`, but NDK users
|
|
|
|
|
need to manually enable FORTIFY by setting that themselves in whatever
|
|
|
|
|
build system they're using. The exact subset of FORTIFY available to
|
|
|
|
|
NDK users will depend on their target ABI level, because when a FORTIFY
|
|
|
|
|
check can't be guaranteed at compile-time, a call to a run-time `_chk`
|
|
|
|
|
function is added.
