Consider test-case test.c:
...
int main (void) {
void *p = malloc (10);
return 0;
}
...
When compiled to a non-PIE exec:
...
$ gcc -m32 test.c
...
the call sequence looks like:
...
8048447: 83 ec 0c sub $0xc,%esp
804844a: 6a 0a push $0xa
804844c: e8 bf fe ff ff call
8048310 <malloc@plt>
...
which calls to:
...
08048310 <malloc@plt>:
8048310: ff 25 0c a0 04 08 jmp *0x804a00c
8048316: 68 00 00 00 00 push $0x0
804831b: e9 e0 ff ff ff jmp
8048300 <.plt>
...
where the first insn at 0x8048310 initially jumps to the following address
0x8048316, read from the .got.plt @ 0x804a00c:
...
804a000 0c9f0408 00000000 00000000 16830408 ................
804a010 26830408 &...
...
Likewise, when compiled as a PIE:
...
$ gcc -m32 -fPIE -pie test.c
...
we have this call sequence (with %ebx setup to point to the .got.plt):
...
0000055d <main>:
579: 83 ec 0c sub $0xc,%esp
57c: 6a 0a push $0xa
57e: 89 c3 mov %eax,%ebx
580: e8 6b fe ff ff call 3f0 <malloc@plt>
...
which calls to:
...
000003f0 <malloc@plt>:
3f0: ff a3 0c 00 00 00 jmp *0xc(%ebx)
3f6: 68 00 00 00 00 push $0x0
3fb: e9 e0 ff ff ff jmp 3e0 <.plt>
...
where the insn at 0x3f0 initially jumps to following address 0x3f6, read from
the .got.plt at offset 0xc:
...
2000
f41e0000 00000000 00000000 f6030000 ................
2010
06040000 ....
...
When instead doing an inferior call to malloc (with nosharedlib to force
malloc to resolve to malloc@plt rather than the functions in ld.so or libc.so)
with the non-PIE exec, we have the expected:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex nosharedlib -ex "p /x (void *)malloc (10)"
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x8048444
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x08048444 in main ()
$1 = 0x804b160
...
But with the PIE exec, we run into:
...
$ gdb -q -batch a.out -ex start -ex nosharedlib -ex "p /x (void *)malloc (10)"
Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x56c
Temporary breakpoint 1, 0x5655556c in main ()
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x565553f0 in malloc@plt ()
...
The segfault happens because:
- the inferior call mechanism doesn't setup %ebx
- %ebx instead is 0
- the jump to "*0xc(%ebx)" reads from memory at 0xc
Fix this by setting up %ebx properly in i386_thiscall_push_dummy_call.
Fixes this failure with target board unix/-m32/-pie/-fPIE reported in
PR28467:
...
FAIL: gdb.base/nodebug.exp: p/c (int) array_index("abcdef",2)
...
Tested on x86_64-linux, with target board unix/-m32 and unix/-m32/-fPIE/-pie.
