Re: [PATCH] Generate additional secret keys for the heap protector

Florian,

Awesome patch. This is looking really good and the expansion of entropy
into the keys using sha256 looks great.

OK to checkin if you:

* Fix spelling.
* Remove _dl_setup_pointer_guard linux+generic implementation as unused.
* Remove _dl_setup_stack_chk_guard linux+generic implementation as unused

New version attached. I'm waiting until the libcrypt fix is checked in (I'll try to test on SPARC and commit if successful). And it only makes sense to have this change if we end up with the heap protector, so I'll wait for that, too.

Non-blocking questions:

Does the sha256 code add about 10kb to the loader's size? A fair trade-off
for being able to correctly expand the randomness we have into the size we
need. I also think the startup cost has to be paid, particularly for the
benefit of hardening the malloc headers against any many of the previously
used overflow attacks.

Before:

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 fweimer fweimer 1231576 Oct 28 17:17 elf/ld.so
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 141373    5092     424  146889   23dc9 elf/ld.so

After:

-rwxrwxr-x. 1 fweimer fweimer 1245552 Oct 28 17:15 elf/ld.so
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 143629    5092     424  149145   24699 elf/ld.so

So it's a 2256 bytes increase in text size. The disk size increase is mostly debugging information (it's down to 4096 bytes without debugging information).

I have not tried to measure the cycle impact.

Thanks,
Florian

	* elf/dl-keysetup.h: New file.
	* elf/dl-keysetup.c: Likewise.
	* elf/Makefile (dl-routines): Add dl-keysetup.
	* csu/libc-start.c (LIBC_START_MAIN): Call __compute_keys to
	obtain key material.
	* elf/rtld.c (security_init): Likewise.
	* crypt/sha256.c: Use relative #include for sha256-block.c
	* sysdeps/generic/dl-osinfo.h (_dl_setup_stack_chk_guard)
	(_dl_setup_pointer_guard): Remove.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-osinfo.h (_dl_setup_stack_chk_guard)
	(_dl_setup_pointer_guard): Likewise.
