2019-06-28cap getdents length argument to INT_MAXRich Felker-0/+2
the linux syscall treats this argument as having type int, so passing extremely long buffer sizes would be misinterpreted by the kernel. since "short reads" are always acceptable, just cap it down. patch based on report and suggested change by Florian Weimer.
2018-09-12remove spurious inclusion of libc.h for LFS64 ABI aliasesRich Felker-2/+1
the LFS64 macro was not self-documenting and barely saved any characters. simply use weak_alias directly so that it's clear what's being done, and doesn't depend on a header to provide a strange macro.
2018-09-12reduce spurious inclusion of libc.hRich Felker-0/+2
libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented) cancellation points had to include it. remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases. in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h. declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are needed to use them correctly anyway.
2018-09-12remove unused __getdents, rename and move fileRich Felker-0/+9
the __-prefixed filename does not make sense when the only purpose of this file is implementing a public function that's not used as a backend for implementing the standard dirent functions.
