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.
