Closes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/153666
This patch introduces a new centralized AUXV (auxiliary vector) handling
mechanism for LLVM libc on Linux, replacing the previous scattered
implementation across multiple files.
## Key Changes:
### New Files:
- **libc/src/__support/OSUtil/linux/auxv.h**: New header library
providing
a clean interface for AUXV access with:
- `auxv::Entry` struct for AUXV entries (type and value)
- `auxv::Vector` class with iterator support for traversing AUXV
- `auxv::get()` function for retrieving specific AUXV values
- Thread-safe initialization with fallback mechanisms (prctl and
/proc/self/auxv)
### Modified Files:
1. **libc/src/__support/OSUtil/linux/CMakeLists.txt**:
- Added `auxv` header library declaration with proper dependencies:
- libc.hdr.fcntl_macros
- libc.src.__support.OSUtil.osutil
- libc.src.__support.common
- libc.src.__support.CPP.optional
- libc.src.__support.threads.callonce
2. **libc/config/linux/app.h**:
- Removed `AuxEntry` struct (moved to auxv.h as `auxv::Entry`)
- Removed `auxv_ptr` from `AppProperties` struct
- Simplified application properties structure
3. **libc/src/sys/auxv/linux/getauxval.cpp**:
- Completely refactored to use new auxv.h interface
- Removed ~200 lines of complex initialization code
- Simplified to just call `auxv::get()` function
- Removed dependencies to external symbols (mman, prctl, fcntl, read,
close, open)
4. **libc/src/sys/auxv/linux/CMakeLists.txt**:
- Updated dependencies to use new auxv header library
- Removed dependencies to external symbols (prctl, mman, fcntl, unistd,
etc.)
5. **libc/startup/linux/do_start.cpp**:
- Updated to use new `auxv::Vector` interface
- Changed from pointer-based to iterator-based AUXV traversal
- Updated field names (`aux_entry->id` → `aux_entry.type`,
`aux_entry->value` → `aux_entry.val`)
- Added call to `auxv::Vector::initialize_unsafe()` for early AUXV setup
6. **libc/startup/linux/CMakeLists.txt**:
- Added dependency on `libc.src.__support.OSUtil.linux.auxv`
The call chain to `Mutex:lock` can be polluted by stack protector. For
completely safe, let's postpone the main TLS tearing down to a separate
phase.
fix#108030
```
AppProperties app;
```
is marked as a weak symbol in header now. One can just use `&app !=
nullptr` to check if `app` is defined. There is no need to define it for
overlay mode.
For some reasons, we are using `-fpie`
(libc/cmake/modules/LLVMLibCObjectRules.cmake:31) without supporting it.
According to @lntue, some of the hermetic tests are broken without
proper PIE support. This patch implements basic relocations support for
PIE.
* separate initialization routines into _start and do_start for all
architectures.
* lift do_start as a separate object library to avoid code duplication.
* (addtionally) address the problem of building hermetic libc with
-fstack-pointer-*
The `crt1.o` is now a merged result of three components:
```
___
|___ x86_64
| |_______ start.cpp.o <- _start (loads process initial stack and aligns stack pointer)
| |_______ tls.cpp.o <- init_tls, cleanup_tls, set_thread_pointer (TLS related routines)
|___ do_start.cpp.o <- do_start (sets up global variables and invokes the main function)
```
