dlerror.c (__dlerror_main_freeres) will try to free resources which only
have been initialized when init () has been called. That function is
called when resources are needed using __libc_once (once, init) where
once is a __libc_once_define (static, once) in the dlerror.c file.
Trying to free those resources if init () hasn't been called will
produce errors under valgrind memcheck. So guard the freeing of those
resources using __libc_once_get (once).

Thank you for looking into this and fixing it!

OK.

Not OK.

If creating the key fails, then key remains 0, but once
will have run init, and so this is true, but the key
might be in use by someone else.

I think this condition needs to be:

if (__libc_once_get (once) && static_buf == NULL)

This way you know:
* The init() function ran and...
* The key is assigned a valid entry via __libc_key_create().

This code suffers the same problem:

__dlerror:

 71   /* If we have not yet initialized the buffer do it now.  */
 72   __libc_once (once, init);
 73 
 74   /* Get error string.  */
 75   result = (struct dl_action_result *) __libc_getspecific (key);
 76   if (result == NULL)
 77     result = &last_result;

At this point __libc_key_create() may have failed, so checking for
result == NULL is not valid, since key=0 may be in use by someone
else.

If should also be:

if (static_buf != NULL)
  result = static_buf;

Just like here:

_dlerror_run:

131   /* Get error string and number.  */
132   if (static_buf != NULL)
133     result = static_buf;
134   else
135     {

OK.

OK, except as noted above.

OK.

In summary:
- Check in __dlerror_main_freeres should be: 
  if (__libc_once_get (once) && static_buf == NULL)
- Fixup check in __dlerror:
  if (static_buf != NULL)
    result = static_buf;

What you're fixing here is all the conditionals that appear
wrong in the case that dlerror is never called or the other
similar case (which can cause valgrind to fail) which is
if __libc_key_create fails.

No good deed goes unpunished :-)

Makes sense. Done as follows:

    dlfcn: Guard __dlerror_main_freeres with __libc_once_get (once) [BZ# 24476]
    
    dlerror.c (__dlerror_main_freeres) will try to free resources which only
    have been initialized when init () has been called. That function is
    called when resources are needed using __libc_once (once, init) where
    once is a __libc_once_define (static, once) in the dlerror.c file.
    Trying to free those resources if init () hasn't been called will
    produce errors under valgrind memcheck. So guard the freeing of those
    resources using __libc_once_get (once) and make sure we have a valid
    key. Also add a similar guard to __dlerror ().
    
        * dlfcn/dlerror.c (__dlerror_main_freeres): Guard using
        __libc_once_get (once) and static_bug == NULL.
        (__dlerror): Check we have a valid key, set result to static_buf
        otherwise.

Perfect. Looks good to me.

Thanks. Done.

I also cherry-picked the commit to release/2.28/master and
release/2.29/master. It applies cleanly and testing shows it fixes the
bug.

I am not entirely clear on the procedure to get them officially
included in the release branches. Can I just commit the cherry-picked
commits and email libc-stable about it? Or should the 2.28 and 2.29
release managers first ack the patch? Do I need to update the NEWS bugs
sections too (master doesn't have a NEWS bugs section).

Thanks,

Mark
