This is a long-standing thinko.
When you exec a process, dll_crt0_0 in the child process calls
child_info_spawn::handle_spawn(). handle_spawn() initialises the
cygheap.
Now consider calling strace. Strace is a non-Cygwin process dynamically
loading cygwin1.dll via LoadLibrary. This in turn initializes the DLL:
- dll_crt0_0 finds that the process it attaches to has been exec'd, so
child_info_spawn::handle_spawn() is called.
- If the DLL is being dynamically loaded, handle_spawn() calls
child_info_spawn::get_parent_handle(). This in turn tries to set
the moreinfo->myself_pinfo value inside the cygheap to NULL.
- However, at this time, the cygheap has not yet been initialized. This
only occurs in the cygheap_fixup_in_child() call after get_parent_handle()
returns.
--> SEGV
This thinko never had a negative side effect, because the cygheap was
pre-allocated at DLL load time until commit 2f9b8ff00c ("Cygwin:
decouple cygheap from Cygwin DLL"). With 2f9b8ff00c, the cygheap
actually doesn't exist until after the call to cygheap_fixup_in_child().
Fix this problem by moving the assignment after the call to
cygheap_fixup_in_child().

One reason that ASLR is tricky is the fact that the cygheap
is placed at the end of the DLL and especially that it's expected
to be growable. To support ASLR, this construct must go.

Back in early Cygwin development a function based access to the
environment was exported, the internal environ in Cygwin was called
__cygwin_environ and cur_environ() was used to access the environment
indirectly . The history of that necessity is not documented,
but kept in i686 for backward compatibility.
The x86_64 port eventually used __cygwin_environ directly and exported
it as DATA under the usual name environ.
We don't need the i686 workaround anymore, so just rename
__cygwin_environ to environ, drop the cur_environ() macro and
simply export environ under its own name.

Add a _REENT_CLEANUP() macro to encapsulate access to the
__cleanup member of struct reent. This will help to replace the
struct member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up
patch.
In the previous commit, __stdcall was removed from _dll_crt0 in
winsup.h and dcrt0.cc but not in lib/cygwin_crt0.c. For consistency,
restore the first two occurrences of __stdcall. We could instead
remove it from the declaration in lib/cygwin_crt0.c, but this might
appear to affect binary compatibility, even though it really doesn't.
These have no effect on x86_64. Retain a few occurrences of __cdecl
in files imported from other sources.
Also retain all occurrences of WINAPI, even though the latter is
simply a macro that expands to __stdcall. Most of these occurrences
are associated with Windows API functions, and removing them might
make the code confusing instead of simpler.
This was a hack to begin with. Clean this mess up:
- Move definition of CYGTLS_PADSIZE to cygwin/config.h and drop
local cygtls_padsize.h
- Rename CYGTLS_PADSIZE to __CYGTLS_PADSIZE__ to keep namespace
clean. Redefine as macro, rather than as const.
- Move struct _reent first in struct _cygtls to allow using
__CYGTLS_PADSIZE__ as offset in __getreent().

Remove the pointer indirection through the read-only _global_impure_ptr and
directly use a externally visible _impure_data object of type struct _reent.
This enables the static initialization of global data structures in a follow up
patch. In addition, we get rid of a machine-specific file.
Even after fork, we might need the parent sigmask without having
access to the real _main_tls. There's a short time at process startup,
when _main_tls points to the system-allocated stack, but wait_sig is
already running. If we can't lock _main_tls, because find_tls can't
find it yet, we now access the parent's sigmask via child_info.

Remove dependency on __sdidinit member of struct _reent to check
object initialization. Like __sdidinit, the __cleanup member of
struct _reent is initialized in the __sinit() function. Checking
initialization against __cleanup serves the same purpose and will
reduce overhead in the __sfp() function in a follow up patch.
Per https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-developers/2021-October/012429.html,
we may encounter a crash when starting multiple threads during process
startup (here: fhandler_fifo::fixup_after_{fork,exec}) which in turn
allocate memory via malloc.
The problem is concurrent usage of malloc before the malloc muto has
been initialized.
To fix this issue, convert the muto to a SRWLOCK and make sure it is
statically initalized. Thus, malloc can be called as early as necessary
and malloc_init is only required to check for user space provided malloc.
Note that this requires to implement a __malloc_trylock macro to be
called from fork.

This patch has been inspired by the Linux kernel patch
294f69e662d1 compiler_attributes.h: Add 'fallthrough' pseudo keyword for switch/case use
written by Joe Perches <joe AT perches DOT com> based on an idea from
Dan Carpenter <dan DOT carpenter AT oracle DOT com>. The following text
is from the original log message:
Reserve the pseudo keyword 'fallthrough' for the ability to convert the
various case block /* fallthrough */ style comments to appear to be an
actual reserved word with the same gcc case block missing fallthrough
warning capability.
All switch/case blocks now should end in one of:
break;
fallthrough;
goto <label>;
return [expression];
continue;
In C mode, GCC supports the __fallthrough__ attribute since 7.1,
the same time the warning and the comment parsing were introduced.
Cygwin-only: add an explicit -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 to the build
flags.
Introducing an independent Cygwin PID introduced a regression:
The expectation is that the myself pinfo pointer always points to a
specific address right in front of the loaded Cygwin DLL.
However, the independent Cygwin PID changes broke this. To create
myself at the right address requires to call init with h0 set to
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE or an existing address:
void
pinfo::init (pid_t n, DWORD flag, HANDLE h0)
{
[...]
if (!h0 || myself.h)
[...]
else
{
shloc = SH_MYSELF;
if (h0 == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) <-- !!!
h0 = NULL;
}
The aforementioned commits changed that so h0 was always NULL, this way
creating myself at an arbitrary address.
This patch makes sure to set the handle to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE again
when creating a new process, so init knows that myself has to be created
in the right spot. While at it, fix a potential uninitialized handle
value in child_info_spawn::handle_spawn.

In dll_crt0_0, both threadinterface->Init and sigproc_init allocate
windows object handles using unpredictable memory regions, which may
collide with dynamically loaded dlls when they were relocated.
When calling spawnve, in contrast to execve, the parent has
to create the pid for the child. With the old technique
this was simply the Windows pid, but now we have to inform
the child about its new pid.
Add a cygpid member to class child_info_spawn. Set it in
child_info_spawn::worker, just prior to calling CreateProcess
rather than afterwards. Overwrite cygheap->pid in
child_info_spawn::handle_spawn before calling pinfo::thisproc.
Make sure pinfo::thisproc knows the pid is already set by
setting the handle argument to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.
Also set procinfo->dwProcessId to myself_initial.dwProcessId
instead of to myself_initial.pid for clarity.

To support in-cygwin package managers, the fork() implementation must
not rely on .exe and .dll files to stay in their original location, as
the package manager's job is to replace these files. Instead, when the
first fork try fails, and we have NTFS, we use hardlinks to the original
binaries in /var/run/cygfork/ to create the child process during the
second fork try, along the main.exe.local file to enable the "DotLocal
Dll Redirection" feature for the dlls.
The (probably few) users that need an update-safe fork manually have to
create the /var/run/cygfork/ directory for now, using:
mkdir --mode=a=rwxt /var/run/cygfork

Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:
- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly. Some POSIX applications choke
on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.
- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
(depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.
- After an execve, the process has a split personality: Its Windows PID
is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
process. This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
one.
This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:
- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
expected by POSIX processes. The PIDs are created incrementally in
the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.
- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
unpredictable. This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.
- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
PID. This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.
- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.
- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
interfaces getting a Windows PID.

wchar.c (sys_wcstombs, sys_wcstombs_alloc): avoid mis-conversions
of text that does not, actually, refer to a path or file name
Detailed explanation:
Our WCS -> UTF conversion handles the private Unicode page specially
to allow for otherwise invalid file names. However, this handling makes
no sense for command-lines, nor environment variables, which we would
rather convert verbatim.
As a stop-gap solution, let's just introduce a version of the
sys_wcstombs() function that specifically excludes that file name
conversion magic.
The proper solution is to change sys_wcstombs() to assume that it is not
a path that wants to be converted, and introduce sys_wcstombs_path()
that does, but that is a bigger task which we leave for another patch.
