2013-11-08remove O_NOFOLLOW from __map_file used for time zone file loadingRich Felker-1/+1
it's not clear why I originally wrote O_NOFOLLOW into this; I suspect the reason was with an aim of making the function more general for mapping partially or fully untrusted files provided by the user. however, the timezone code already precludes use of absolute or relative pathnames in suid/sgid programs, and disallows .. in pathnames which are relative to one of the system timezone locations, so there is no threat of opening a symlink which is not trusted by appropriate user. since some users may wish to put symbolic links in the zoneinfo directories to alias timezones, it seems preferable to allow this.
2013-07-17fix fd leak in file mapping code used in new zoneinfo supportRich Felker-1/+1
2013-07-17the big time handling overhaulRich Felker-0/+20
this commit has two major user-visible parts: zoneinfo-format time zones are now supported, and overflow handling is intended to be complete in the sense that all functions return a correct result if and only if the result fits in the destination type, and otherwise return an error. also, some noticable bugs in the way DST detection and normalization worked have been fixed, and performance may be better than before, but it has not been tested.
