[SRU] Syntax error defien in socket.h

[Karsten Spang]

[ Impact ]

 * What are the effects of the bug on users?
   Some Compilers will exit with a syntax error when
   a user tries to compile glibc for systems where the
   'time_t' type of the default ABI is 32 bits (e.g. arm,
   hppa, microblaze). The compiler must be a Clang compiler
   with a major version of less than four and is either a
   GNUC compiler with a major version of less than two or no
   GNUC compiler.

   If someone should be confused; here is the logical notation
   (See "Other Info" before you evaluate this!):
   TIME_BITS_SIZE = 32 AND CLANG_MAJOR < 4
   AND (NOT GNUC OR GNUC < 2)

   Additionally, a few C pre-processors (an overwhelming
   minority) will throw a syntax error if they encounter an
   unknown pre-processor keyword, even if it is unreachable
   (like this bug).

 * What is the justification for backporting the fix to the
   stable release?

   The bug is already fixed upstream, and some users reported
   the error.

 * How does the upload fix the bug?
   The bug is caused by a typographical error of a pre-processor
   keyword ("#defien" instead of "#define"). The bug fix
   includes correcting the typographical error. "Just" two
   characters get changed.

[ Test Plan ]

 * How to reproduce the bug?
   We will reproduce this bug with the Oracle Embedded SQL
   Pro*C Pre-processor (Oracle ESQL ProC).
   I tested this on a fresh installation of 22.04.2 and a
   pre-existing installation of 22.04.1.

   1. Install glibc:
   sudo apt install libc6-dev

   2. Download the binaries Oracle ESQL ProC binaries
   (they are licensed under the Oracle Technology Network
   License Agreement https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/standard-license.html):
   wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/219000/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/219000/instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/219000/instantclient-precomp-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip

   3. Create the destination where the binaries will be copied to:
   sudo mkdir -m a=rwx /opt/oracle

   4. Unzip the binaries:
   a.) unzip instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip -d /opt/oracle
   b.) unzip instantclient-sdk-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip -d /opt/oracle
   c.) unzip instantclient-precomp-linux.x64-21.9.0.0.0dbru.zip -d /opt/oracle

   5. Add configuration to use x86-64 arcitecture and glibc include folder location:
   a.) echo "define=__x86_64__" >> /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_9/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg
   b.) echo "sys_include=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu" >> /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_9/precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg

   6. Create a test source file:
   echo "include <sys/socket.h>" | tee test.cp

   7. Add envirenment variables for the pre-processor:
   a.) export ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/instantclient_21_9
   b.) export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_21_9

   8. Run the preprocessor:
   $ORACLE_HOME/sdk/proc iname=test.pc oname=test.c sqlcheck=syntax code=ansi_c parse=partial

   This will result in the following error message:
    Syntax error at line 184, column 4, file /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/socket.h:
    Error at line 184, column 4 in file /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/socket.h
    # defien sendmsg __sendmsg64
    ...1
    PCC-S-02014, Encountered the symbol "defien" when expecting one of the following
    :

       a numeric constant, newline, define, endif, error, if, ifdef,
       ifndef, include, include_next, line, pragma, _Pragma, undef,
       an immediate preprocessor command, a C token

[ Where problems could occur ]

 * The bugfix allows compiling glibc for systems where it
   couldn't get compiled before. This could enable the build
   of packages that break others, but this should not count as
   the fault of glibc.

 * A theoretical regression is limited to the sys/socket.h
   sendmsg function because it gets redirected through the
   "#define" macro.

 * A pre-compiler of a non-GNUC compiler that tries to appear
   as a GNUC compiler with an incorrect lexical analyzer could
   result in a different syntax tree. I don't know of an
   example, and Canonical should not support such a
   configuration

[ Other Info ]
                                                                |
 * Many non-GNUC compilers try to appear as a GNUC compiler by
   using pre-defined compiler macros typical for GNUC compilers.
   A non-GNUC compiler that tries to appear as GNUC version two
   or higher may NOT be affected, while a non-GNUC compiler may
   be affected.

 * The original bug report description:

On line 184 in/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/socket.h it says

# defien sendmsg __sendmsg64

which obviously should read "define" instead.

This was fixed upstream in https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=999835533bc60fbd0b0b65d2412a6742e5a54b9d which made it into 2.36 (and thus is fixed in kinetic) and on the 2.35 release branch in https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=fe9ca732ace94cb49e4d4846a4492db40cde34e4 .

[Simon Chopin (schopin)]

Downgraded as High since it's decidedly not trivial to reproduce.

In theory, this would occur when using a compiler that's not modern clang nor GCC (nor something that attempts to pass as one of those), and explicitly enabling the Y2038K mitigations (presumably on 32-bit architectures).

In practice, I've tried doing so with multiple compilers in the archive (I didn't know we had that many!), and it turns out most of them like to pretend they're GCC, and the others simply don't play well with glibc headers at all.

[Karsten Spang (karstenspang)]

I ran into this bug using the Oracle ESQL precompiler proc, version 21.7.

I used the options

parse=partial code=ansi_c

You will need the basic client package on https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/linux-x86-64-downloads.html and the then follow the Precompiler Downloads link (last under 21.7). They don't have DEB packages, so you will have to use ZIP.

[Dominik Viererbe (dviererbe)]

Hello Karsten,
thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping improve Ubuntu.

I try replicating the bug to write a Stable Release Update request for Ubuntu 22.04 jammy. I am not familiar with Oracle ESQL. Can you write more detailed instructions on how to reproduce the bug?

In the meantime, I will try to find a compiler that also reproduces your result.

I did some research today:
A Compilers will exit with a syntax error when a user tries to compile glibc for systems where the 'time_t' type of the default ABI is 32 bits (e.g. arm, hppa, microblaze). The compiler must be a Clang compiler with a major version of less than four and is either a GNUC compiler with a major version of less than two or no GNUC compiler.

If someone should be confused, here is the logical notation: TIME_BITS_SIZE = 32 AND CLANG_MAJOR < 4 AND (NOT GNUC OR GNUC < 2)

As Simon Chopin (schopin) pointed out:
Many non-GNUC compilers try to appear as a GNUC compiler by using pre-defined compiler macros typical for GNUC compilers.

A non-GNUC compiler that tries to appear as GNUC version two or higher may NOT be affected, while a non-GNUC compiler may be affected.

[Karsten Spang (karstenspang)]

First, you will have to get the Oracle client as described in comment #4 and install it, e.g. under /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_7.

You will have to modify the file precomp/admin/pcscfg.cfg, because it does not have all the include paths needed for Ubuntu. My version looks like:

sys_include=($ORACLE_HOME/sdk/include,/usr/include,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/include,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.7/include,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.4/include,/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/include,/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.8.5/include)
sys_include=/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/7/include
sys_include=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/include
sys_include=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/9/include
sys_include=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/8/include
sys_include=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/11/include
sys_include=/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
ltype=short
define=__x86_64__
define=_MATH_H

To run, you will need to set these environment variables
- ORACLE_HOME to where you installed the client, e.g. /opt/oracle/instantclient_21_7
- PATH to include where you find proc
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include where you find libclntsh.so

Create a file test.pc with the contents
#include <sys/socket.h>

Run
proc iname=test.pc oname=test.c sqlcheck=syntax code=ansi_c parse=partial

[Karsten Spang (karstenspang)]

In the above, the first four lines of pcscfg.cfg is actually just one line, but the editor broke it up.

[Karsten Spang (karstenspang)]

Note that even after fixing the bug, proc will complain about variadic macros, which it does not understand. This is OK, that is just a warning, the exit status is still 0.

[Dominik Viererbe (dviererbe)]

Hello Karsten,
I could replicate your problem and I am in the process of submitting the Stable Release Update (SRU). This is my first SRU and I am still unsure about the process. So it could take a while for it to be accepted or it could be rejected.

Thanks again for submitting the bug and responding to my question :)

Failed to retrieve available kernel versions.

The processor microcode seems to be up-to-date.

No services need to be restarted.

No VM guests are running outdated hypervisor (qemu) binaries on this host.

Then I ran the same test again and got this output from proc:
