You didn't provided any rationale for that. Running X as root is anti
pattern, especially nowadays when so little effort is required to not
have to run it as root.

You can either enable elogind, or you can enable suid if you want to
preserve your status quo, we're talking here about defaults that user
can change if he has a reason to do so.

If I understand you correctly, we should just drop the USE="pic" logic
from the remaining packages that have it? Or are you trying to say
something else?

I guess this hasn't been really discussed back then.

It is also used in a global way in profiles (make.defaults).

Thankfully these days there's usually no need to disable asm to have
pic. hardened has no mention of that flag, and I think that e.g. for
openssl they would have noticed long ago.
And again, 'asm' as a useflag makes no sense: if it works and simply
replaces a C function by a faster one then it shouldn't even be an
useflag. 'pic' on the other hand conveys the tradeoff idea.

[gentoo-dev] x11-base/xorg-server: No longer enabling suid by default.

2020-05-25 Thread Piotr Karbowski
Hi,

For years the xorg-server in Gentoo was defaulting to be running with
suid, even those that does not really require it, like systemd users and
those who runs elogind still end up with X as uid 0 because of +suid
default.

Times has changed, we now have +elogind in desktop profile, xorg-server
can no longer work without udev (due to input drivers), so there's no
real benefit for defaulting to suid.

There are 3 common ways the xorg-server is started:

- via XDM of some sort, usually forked as root, does not require suid,
systemd or elogind.
- via better XDM that can into logind interface, started as regular user
thanks to logind interface provided by either systemd or elogind.
- via `startx`, if systemd or elogind are present, can work without
suid, without them, suid is required.

Flipping current '+suid (-)elogind' as *default* USE flags on ebuild
level into '+elogind (-)suid' will not affect first two use cases, and
affect only 3rd one if neither systemd is used, or elogind is enabled.

What I'd like to go with is to enable elogind and disable suid on ebuild
level. The systemd profiles have use.mask for elogind, meaning it's not
a problem for them. and those who do not want to use any logind provider
can still opt-out out of it and go back to use suid. It shouldn't really
affect most of the users in any negative way, if anything, it will make
more users to not run Xorg as root, which is a positive aspect.

The alternative way would be to enable elogind on default profile,
however it would also affect those who run headless Gentoo, of which a
lot refuse to use any login manager.

So, dear people of Gentoo, what do you think about turning the current
possible opt-out of Xorg as root into possible opt-in for running Xorg
as root? People still will have a choice, just the defaults will be more
sane.

It's neither global, nor well-documented, but several packages do
define it locally.

profiles % grep ":pic " use.local.desc
app-arch/gzip:pic - disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly
app-benchmarks/ramspeed:pic - Force shared libraries to be built as
PIC (this is slower)
dev-libs/gmp:pic - Force static libraries to be built as PIC to avoid TEXTRELs.
gnome-base/orbit:pic - Force libname-server-2 to be built as PIC;
needed on hardened systems
media-libs/x264:pic - disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly
media-libs/x265:pic - Disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly
media-libs/xvid:pic - disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly
media-video/ffmpeg:pic - Force shared libraries to be built as PIC
(this is slower)
media-video/transcode:pic - disable optimized assembly code that is
not PIC friendly
www-client/chromium:pic - Disable optimized assembly code that is not
PIC friendly

I suspect this flag got copy/pasted between various packages related
to ffmpeg. That's certainly how chromium ended up with it.

Personally, I think it should be renamed to "asm" or something similar
in the majority of cases where it actually disables all use of
assembly code.

Sure but it was not added there and it's not really relevant here since
 USE=asm does not make any sense either. (aka: this was better
 before this series of commits)

Both patches look good to me.

However, I think you should remove the bug number from the summary
line; it makes the summary too long and the Bug tag later in the

The USE flag toggles use of assembly, not use of PIC. The default USE
value in the hardened profile should not drive decisions on what we
name USE flags.

You can add the flag to package.use or package.use.mask in the
hardened profile if necessary.

You got it wrong here it seems: USE=pic does not control whether
the toolchain produces PIC or not. Shared libs always are, and have
always been, built that way on Gentoo.
In this case, USE=pic means "no matter what it costs, I do not want
textrels", for the cases of hand written assembly that has to be
rewritten to support PIC. And, still in this case, this costs a lot of
performance, so it is enabled by default on hardened profiles and not
others.
Textrels work fine (on some architectures), they disallow W^X and force
each process using the shared lib to make a "copy" at runtime in order
to resolve relocations, so are not desirable but sometimes the cost
outweights the gain.

Plus, profiles/features/hardened enables pic by default but knows
nothing about USE=asm so this is a regression for them.

[gentoo-dev] [PATCH 2/2] multilib.eclass: populate READELF, bug #725304

2020-05-25 Thread Sergei Trofimovich
For both multilib and non-multilib profiles binutils provides
tools with native CHOST prefix only. For example on amd64 there
is only 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-readelf' and 'readelf'.

meson build system uses 'readelf' or $READELF binaries
and relies on meson.eclass to populate READELF.

The change overrides READELF and friends to 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-readelf'
for multilib setup similar to other environment variables.

Tested on net-libs/gssdp package.

Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/725304

This should not even be an useflag.
Either it works or does not. Individual features support is controlled
by cpu_flags_* (or built-in and autodetected at runtime).
Please fix.

What are you trying to fix here ?
This sounds like a regression to me: some asm will not work for
10/12bits variants while 8bit is fine. You are removing this work here.
