This makes a few changes to the weak symbol macros in `sys::unix`:
- `dlsym!` is added to keep the functionality for runtime `dlsym`
lookups, like for `__pthread_get_minstack@GLIBC_PRIVATE` that we don't
want to show up in ELF symbol tables.
- `weak!` now uses `#[linkage = "extern_weak"]` symbols, so its runtime
behavior is just a simple null check. This is also used by `syscall!`.
- On non-ELF targets (macos/ios) where that linkage is not known to
behave, `weak!` is just an alias to `dlsym!` for the old behavior.
- `raw_syscall!` is added to always call `libc::syscall` on linux and
android, for cases like `clone3` that have no known libc wrapper.
The new `weak!` linkage does mean that you'll get versioned symbols if
you build with a newer glibc, like `WEAK DEFAULT UND statx@GLIBC_2.28`.
This might seem problematic, but old non-weak symbols can tie the build
to new versions too, like `dlsym@GLIBC_2.34` from their recent library
unification. If you build with an old glibc like `dist-x86_64-linux`
does, you'll still get unversioned `WEAK DEFAULT UND statx`, which may
be resolved based on the runtime glibc.
I also found a few functions that don't need to be weak anymore:
- Android can directly use `ftruncate64`, `pread64`, and `pwrite64`, as
these were added in API 12, and our baseline is API 14.
- Linux can directly use `splice`, added way back in glibc 2.5 and
similarly old musl. Android only added it in API 21 though.
`weak!` is needed in a test in another module. With macros
1.0, importing `weak!` would require reordering module
declarations in `std/src/lib.rs`, which is a bit too
evil.
Tighten the bounds on atomic Ordering in std::sys::unix::weak::Weak
This moves reading this from multiple SeqCst reads to Relaxed read + Acquire fence if we are actually going to use the data.
Would love to avoid the Acquire fence, but doing so would need Ordering::Consume, which neither Rust, nor LLVM supports (a shame, since this fence is hardly free on ARM, which is what I was hoping to improve).
r? ``@Amanieu`` (Sorry for always picking you, but I know a lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable reviewing atomic ordering changes)
We'll try to use a weak `getrandom` symbol first, because that allows
things like `LD_PRELOAD` interposition. For example, perf measurements
might want to disable randomness to get reproducible results. If the
weak symbol is not found, we fall back to a raw `SYS_getrandom` call.
