Bug ID: 35739
Summary: compiler-rt: files contain writable and executable
sections
Product: compiler-rt
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: compiler-rt
Assignee: unassignedb...@nondot.org
Reporter: willwiem...@fake-box.com
CC: llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org
My Linux system detected some writeable and executable sections in the files
usr/lib/clang/5.0.1/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-x86_64.a:chkstk.S.o
usr/lib/clang/5.0.1/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-x86_64.a:chkstk2.S.o
usr/lib/clang/5.0.1/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-i386.a:chkstk.S.o
usr/lib/clang/5.0.1/lib/linux/libclang_rt.builtins-i386.a:chkstk2.S.o
I do not understand entirely why this is the case. However, I'm not alone with
this (see related issues by other projects).
This is what I've found out so far.
The commit [1] fixed part of this but did not cover {i386,x86_64}/chkstk.S,
{i386,x86_64}/chkstk2.S. The reason might be that NO_EXEC_STACK_DIRECTIVE is a
NO-OP on Windows and according to the comments in the files chkstk.S and
chkstk2.S are windows only. This impression is supported by
lib/builtin/CMakeFiles.txt which explicitly includes these files as additional
x86_64_SOURCES (line 247).
However, these files are already included in x86_64_SOURCES (same for
i386_SOURCES). This was done by commit [2]. Looking at this commit more
closely, it adds chkstk.S and chkstk2.S unconditionally even though they were
conditionally included. My guess is that these files were added accidentally by
[2] and should only be compiled on Windows.
