Static PIE works on i686, x32 and x86-64 as well as aarch64
with a patch.  I will check in my patch and update

https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/PortStatus

next week if there no objection.

I object to it being checked in without proper review achieving a 
consensus.  This is a major new feature, not in anyone's subsystem 
maintainership area; it's not possibly something that could be considered 
borderline obvious.

Can you help me achieve consensus on this issue?  I'd like to get static PIE
into glibc 2.27.

Thanks.

The closest component to this work is dynamic-link, where Carlos is listed 
as interested reviewer.

Hi Carlos,

Here is my patch to enable static PIE:

https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=b3c9432386edbd2f57098daa6a2a63780c9d9d63

It fixed:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19574

I also created hjl/pie/static branch in glibc git repo.   Can you take
a look at my patch?

Thanks.

Yes, I'm reviewing this patch now:

Thank you for your patience.

H.J.,

High Level:

At a high level I have no objection with the idea of static PIE executables,
it makes sense to support such things. 

My only nit is that we need to do a better job of explaining to users why 
they would use them and under what circumstances. To that end you have a bit
more work to do in the commit message, install.texit, and NEWS entry.

Design:

I have one design question below which around testing static non-PIE executables
in a --enable-static-pie build. See below.

Implementation:

Everything looks good except the use of firstword in +link-static-before-libc,
which I describe below. I think this is a hack and should be changed to better
represent the expected semantics and structure you are looking to support.

Thank you for your work in this area.

Look forward to a v2.

You write "which are allowed", shouldn't that be "which are not allowed"?

The commit message must explain the following:

* Why would a user use this feature?
  - What does it provide over and beyond existing static executables

* How does a user decide to use this feature?
  - Should everyone use it?
  - Should you use it if you care about security, and what does it cost?

Please include the answers to these questions in a the next versions
commit message.

OK.

Is the use of firstword here just a hack to put $(no-pie-ldflag) first so
you can override it with the subsequent $(default-pie-ldflag)?

It is not a robust design to use firstword here because it implies that the
DEFAUTL-LDFLAGS-$(@F) has some structure that we are not documenting.

I would like to see this done some other way. My preference would be for a new
value other than DEFAULT-LDFLAGS to control the PIE-ness of the built progarm.

The description of a new configure option is relevant only to INSTALL.

We must explain when users would use this feature and why. NEWS entries are
user facing and must explain the function of the new feature. Does it improve
security for static binaries? Should users switch to using them instead of
normal static binaries?

Lastly, we must explain which machines are supported in this initial release
of the feature. Only x86_64? You need not check all machines, other maintainers
can check and adjust the NEWS entry, but we have to commit to at least one
machine supporting this feature, which I assume is x86_64.

For example:

* The GNU C Library can now be compiled with support for building static
  PIE executables (See --enable-static-pie in INSTALL). These static PIE 
  exectuables are like static executables but can be loaded at any address
  and provide additional security hardening benefits at the cost of some 
  memory and performance. When the library is built with --enable-static-pie
  the resulting libc.a is usable with GCC 8 and above to create static PIE
  executables using the GCC option '-static-pie'. This feature is currently
  supported on x86_64.

>  * Optimized x86-64 asin, atan2, exp, expf, log, pow, atan, sin and tan

OK. Architecture independent feature, which is OK to go in config.h (we're
trying to get rid of any architecture specific entries).

This does 2 things:
* It enables support for building static PIE executables.
* It builds all static binaries and tests in the testsuite as static PIE executables.

It should say that e.g.

"Enable static PIE executable support and use it in the testsuite."

I understand the desire to use such a functionality to test static PIE executables
by converting the entire testsuite to use them, but we still need to test non-PIE
static executables? How are we still doing that after this change?

How are we testing non-PIE static executables after this change?

 Or likely a bug in the `make' recipe used to link `sln' -- Scrt1.o has to 
be chosen instead for PIE links and the GCC driver gets it right, however 
we use `-nostartfiles' and link in the bits by hand.

That is MIPS specific issue.  It could be bfd_link_pic vs bfd_link_executable
in MIPS linker backend.

Everything is compiled with -fPIE -DPIC:

+ifeq (yes,$(enable-static-pie))
+pic-default = -DPIC
+pie-default = $(pie-ccflag)
+ifeq (yes,$(have-static-pie))

 Well, these relocations are produced by GAS, which obviously has nothing 
to do with linking.  You need to find a way for them not to be produced in 
the first place, as they are not valid in a PIE executable link.

 Well, that doesn't prove that these options actually make it to the GCC 
invocation line for say rcrt1.o.  Quoting the actual line for rcrt1.o from 
a build log would be more useful.

Patch

From 7026a79c1f71f5decd135208503fd4186193ffb8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE
 [BZ #19574]

Dynamic linker, ld.so, is a standalone program which can be loaded at
any address.  This patch adds a configure option, --enable-static-pie,
to embed the part of ld.so in static executable to create static position
independent executable (static PIE).  A static PIE is similar to static
executable, but can be loaded at any address without help from a dynamic
linker.  When --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc, libc.a is
built as PIE and all static executables, including tests, are built as
static PIE.  The resulting libc.a can be used together with GCC 8 or
above to build static PIE with the compiler option, -static-pie.  But
GCC 8 isn't required to build glibc with --enable-static-pie.  When an
older GCC is used to build glibc with --enable-static-pie, proper input
files are passed to linker to create static executables as static PIE,
together with "-z text" to prevent dynamic relocations in read-only
segments, which are allowed in static PIE.

The following changes are made for static PIE:

1. Add a new function, _dl_relocate_static_pie, to:
   a. Get the run-time load address.
   b. Read the dynamic section.
   c. Perform dynamic relocations.
Dynamic linker also performs these steps.  But static PIE doesn't load
any shared objects.
2. Call _dl_relocate_static_pie at entrance of LIBC_START_MAIN in
libc.a.  crt1.o, which is used to create dynamic and non-PIE static
executables, is updated to include a dummy _dl_relocate_static_pie.
rcrt1.o is added to create static PIE, which will link in the real
_dl_relocate_static_pie.  grcrt1.o is also added to create static PIE
with -pg.  GCC 8 has been updated to support rcrt1.o and grcrt1.o for
static PIE.

Static PIE can work on all architectures which support PIE, provided:

1. Target must support accessing of local functions without dynamic
relocations, which is needed in start.S to call __libc_start_main with
function addresses of __libc_csu_init, __libc_csu_fini and main.  All
functions in static PIE are local functions.  If PIE start.S can't reach
main () defined in a shared object, the code sequence:

	pass addess of local_main to __libc_start_main
	...

local_main:
	tail call to main via PLT

can be used.
2. start.S is updated to check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code path and
avoid dynamic relocation, when PIC is defined and SHARED isn't defined,
to support static PIE.  Patches are submitted for aarch64, hppa, m68k,
microblaze and sparc.
3. All assembly codes are updated check PIC instead SHARED for PIC code
path to avoid dynamic relocations in read-only sections.
4. All assembly codes are updated check SHARED instead PIC for static
symbol name.  A patch is submitted for tile.
5. elf_machine_load_address in dl-machine.h are updated to support static
PIE.  Patches are submitted for aarch64, s390 and sh.
6. __brk works without TLS nor dynamic relocations in read-only section
so that it can be used by __libc_setup_tls to initializes TLS in static
PIE.

NB: When glibc is built with GCC defaulted to PIE, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless if --enable-static-pie is used to configure glibc.
When glibc is configured with --enable-static-pie, libc.a is compiled
with -fPIE, regardless wether GCC defaults to PIE or not.  The same libc.a
can be used to build both static executable and static PIE.  There is no
need for separate PIE copy of libc.a.

On x86-64, the normal static sln:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 625425	   8284	   5456	 639165	  9c0bd	elf/sln

the static PIE sln:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 657626	  20636	   5392	 683654	  a6e86	elf/sln

The code size is increased by 5% and the binary size is increased by 7%.

Linker requirements to build glibc with --enable-static-pie:

1. Linker supports --no-dynamic-linker to remove PT_INTERP segment from
static PIE.
2. Linker can create working static PIE.  The x86-64 linker needs the
fix for

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21782

The i386 linker needs to be able to convert "movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax"
to "leal main@GOTOFF(%ebx), %eax" if main is defined locally.

Binutils 2.29 or above are OK for i686 and x86-64.  But linker status for
other targets need to be verified.

3. Linker should resolve undefined weak symbols to 0 in static PIE:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22269

4. Many ELF backend linkers incorrectly check bfd_link_pic for TLS
relocations, which should check bfd_link_executable instead:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22263

Tested on aarch64, i686 and x86-64.

On aarch64, binutils master branch with 2 patches:

https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-11/msg00455.html
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-11/msg00456.html

applied is required.

build-many-glibcs.py with --enable-static-pie with all patches for static
PIE applied have many failures:

FAIL: glibcs-alpha-linux-gnu build

elf/sln is failed to link due to:

assertion fail bfd/elf64-alpha.c:4125

This is caused by linker bug and/or non-PIC code in PIE libc.a.

FAIL: glibcs-ia64-linux-gnu build

elf/sln is failed to link due to:

libc.a(sched_yield.o): non-pic code with imm relocation against dynamic symbol `_dl_sysinfo'

This is caused by non-PIC version of DO_CALL macro in ia64 sysdep.h.  PIE
libc.a should use PIC version of DO_CALL, except during startup in static
PIE.  An ia64 startup.h, similar to i386 startup.h, is needed to handle
this.
