iptables and quagga need them to work.
|
|
the renaming was previously applied to all real versions of the
function in commit 3fa2eb2aba8d6b54dec53e7ad4c37e17392b166f.
|
|
it should be noted that the "real" __sysv_signal, which we do not
implement, is semantically different from signal. references to
__sysv_signal arise in code built against glibc under certain
combinations of feature test macros, and are almost surely
unintentional since the legacy sysv signal behavior has fundamental
race conditions that cannot be worked around and which make it
impossible to use safely.
|
|
these are put alongside the similar functions for __xstat, etc. in
__xstat.c to avoid bloating the number of source files.
|
|
these are mostly intended for use with dynamic linking (although they
can also be used statically with object files compiled against glibc
headers), so having them broken down into separate source files to
optimize for static linking is unlikely to be worth the cost having
more files in the source tree (which contributes to libc.a overhead,
compile time, link time, ar/linker command line size exhaustion, and
so on).

contributed by Isaac Dunham. this seems to be the last interface that
was missing for complete POSIX 2008 base + XSI coverage.

according to the documentation in the man pages, the GNU extension
functions gethostbyaddr_r, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyname2_r are
guaranteed to set the result pointer to NULL in case of error or no
result.
|
|
this case is not even documented, but the kernel returns 0 here and it
makes sense to be consistent.
|
|
the main motivation for this change is to aid in debugging. since the
main program's entry point is also named _start, it was difficult to
set breakpoints or quickly identify which _start execution stopped in.
|
|
these are not pure syscall wrappers because they have to work around
kernel API bugs on 64-bit archs. the workarounds could probably be
made somewhat more efficient, but at the cost of more complexity. this
may be revisited later.
|
|

such separation serves multiple purposes:
- by having the common path for __tls_get_addr alone in its own
function with a tail call to the slow case, code generation is
greatly improved.
- by having __tls_get_addr in it own file, it can be replaced on a
per-arch basis as needed, for optimization or ABI-specific purposes.
- by removing __tls_get_addr from __init_tls.c, a few bytes of code
are shaved off of static binaries (which are unlikely to use this
function unless the linker messed up).

previously, accesses to dynamic TLS had to check two conditions before
being able to use a dtv slot: (1) that the module index was within the
bounds of the current dtv size, and (2) that the dynamic tls for the
requested module index was already installed in the dtv.
this commit changes the installation strategy so that, whenever an
attempt is made to access dynamic TLS that's not yet installed in the
dtv, the dynamic TLS for all lower-index modules is also installed.
thus it provides a new invariant: if a given module index is within
the bounds of the current dtv size, we automatically know that its TLS
is installed and directly available. the requirement that the second
condition (above) be checked is eliminated.
|
|
this code is non-functional without further changes to link up the
arch-specific reloc types for tlsdesc and add asm implementations of
__tlsdesc_static and __tlsdesc_dynamic.
|
|
the logic for this loop was copied from null-terminated-string logic
in strstr without properly adapting it to work with explicit lengths.
presumably this error could result in false negatives (wrongly
comparing past the end of the needle/haystack), false positives
(stopping comparison early when the needle contains null bytes), and
crashes (from runaway reads past the end of mapped memory).
|
|
eventually this should help making dlerror thread-safe too.
|
|
this was one of the main instances of ugly code duplication: all archs
use basically the same types of relocations, but roughly equivalent
logic was duplicated for each arch to account for the different naming
and numbering of relocation types and variation in whether REL or RELA
records are used.
as an added bonus, both REL and RELA are now supported on all archs,
regardless of which is used by the standard toolchain.
|
|
|
|
this extension is not incompatible with the standard behavior of the
function, not expensive, and avoids requiring a replacement getopt
with full GNU extensions for a few important apps including busybox's
sed with the -i option.

the motivation for the errno_ptr field in the thread structure, which
this commit removes, was to allow the main thread's errno to keep its
address when lazy thread pointer initialization was used. &errno was
evaluated prior to setting up the thread pointer and stored in
errno_ptr for the main thread; subsequently created threads would have
errno_ptr pointing to their own errno_val in the thread structure.
since lazy initialization was removed, there is no need for this extra
level of indirection; __errno_location can simply return the address
of the thread's errno_val directly. this does cause &errno to change,
but the change happens before entry to application code, and thus is
not observable.
|
|
prior to version 1.1.0, the difference between pthread_self (the
public function) and __pthread_self (the internal macro or inline
function) was that the former would lazily initialize the thread
pointer if it was not already initialized, whereas the latter would
crash in this case. since lazy initialization is no longer supported,
use of pthread_self no longer makes sense; it simply generates larger,
slower code.
|
|
such kernels cannot support threads, but the thread pointer is also
important for other purposes, most notably stack protector. without a
valid thread pointer, all code compiled with stack protector will
crash. the same applies to any use of thread-local storage by
applications or libraries.
the concept of this patch is to fall back to using the modify_ldt
syscall, which has been around since linux 1.0, to setup the gs
segment register. since the kernel does not have a way to
automatically assign ldt entries, use of slot zero is hard-coded. if
this fallback path is used, __set_thread_area returns a positive value
(rather than the usual zero for success, or negative for error)
indicating to the caller that the thread pointer was successfully set,
but only for the main thread, and that thread creation will not work
properly. the code in __init_tp has been changed accordingly to record
this result for later use by pthread_create.

the results of a dns query, whether it's performed as part of one of
the standard name-resolving functions or directly by res_send, should
be a function of the query, not of the particular nameserver that
responds to it. thus, all responses which indicate a failure or
refusal by the nameserver, as opposed to a positive or negative result
for the query, should be ignored.
the strategy used is to re-issue the query immediately (but with a
limit on the number of retries, in case the server is really broken)
when a response code of 2 (server failure, typically transient) is
seen, and otherwise take no action on bad responses (which generally
indicate a misconfigured nameserver or one which the client does not
have permission to use), allowing the normal retry interval to apply
and of course accepting responses from other nameservers queried in
parallel.
empirically this matches the traditional resolver behavior for
nameservers that respond with a code of 2 in the case where there is
just a single nameserver configured. the behavior diverges when
multiple nameservers are available, since musl is querying them in
parallel. in this case we are mildly more aggressive at retrying.
|
|
the way this is implemented, it also allows explicit setting of
TZ=/etc/localtime even for suid programs. this is not a problem
because /etc/localtime is a trusted path, much like the trusted
zoneinfo search path.

reading the variadic mode argument is only valid when the O_CREAT flag
is present. this probably does not matter, but is needed for formal
correctness, and could affect LTO or other full-program analysis.
|
|
since there is no easy way to detect whether open honored or ignored
the O_CLOEXEC flag, the optimal solution to providing a fallback is
simply to make the fcntl syscall to set the close-on-exec flag
immediately after open returns.
|
|
the fcntl function is heavy, so make the syscall directly instead.
also, avoid the code size and runtime overhead of querying the old
flags, since it's reasonable to assume nothing will be set on a
newly-created socket. this code is only used on old kernels which lack
proper atomic close-on-exec support, so future changes that might
invalidate such an assumption do not need to be considered.
|
|
as usual, this is non-atomic, but better than producing an error or
failing to set the close-on-exec flag at all.
|
|
the input name is validated, the other parameters are assumed to be
valid (the list of already compressed names are not checked for
infinite reference loops or out-of-bound offsets).
names are handled case-sensitively for now.
|
|
trailing . should be accepted in domain name strings by convention
(RFC 1034), host name lookup accepts "." but rejects empty "", res_*
interfaces also accept empty name following existing practice.
|
|
this condition could only happen due to malloc failure.
the fdopen operation is also moved to take place after the unlink to
minimize the window during which a link to the file exists in the
directory table.
|
|
A domain name is at most 255 bytes long (RFC 1035), but the string
representation is two bytes smaller so the strlen maximum is 253.
|
|
Due to an error introduced in commit fcc522c92335783293ac19df318415cd97fbf66b,
checking of the remaining output buffer space was not performed correctly,
allowing malformed input to write past the end of the buffer.
In addition, the loop detection logic failed to account for the possibility
of infinite loops with no output, which would hang the function.
The output size is now limited more strictly so only names with valid length
are accepted.
|

|
|
this also affects the legacy getservbyport family, which uses
getnameinfo as its backend.
|
|
this also affects the legacy gethostbyaddr family, which uses
getnameinfo as its backend.
some other minor changes associated with the refactoring of source
files are also made; in particular, the resolv.conf parser now uses
the same code that's used elsewhere to handle ip literals, so as a
side effect it can now accept a scope id for nameserver addressed with
link-local scope.
|
|
the service and protocol functions are defined also in other files,
and the protocol ones are actually non-nops elsewhere, so the weak
definitions in ent.c could have prevented the strong definitions from
getting pulled in and used in some static programs.
|
|
the old implementation preallocated a buffer in order to try to avoid
calling vsnprintf more than once. not only did this potentially lead
to memory fragmentation from trimming with realloc; it also pulled in
realloc/free, which otherwise might not be needed in a static linked
program.
|
|
for all address types, a scope_id specified as a decimal value is
accepted. for addresses with link-local scope, a string containing the
interface name is also accepted.
some changes are made to error handling to avoid unwanted fallbacks in
the case where the scope_id is invalid: if an earlier name lookup
backend fails with an error rather than simply "0 results", this
failure now suppresses any later attempts with other backends.
in getnameinfo, a light "itoa" type function is added for generating
decimal scope_id results, and decimal port strings for services are
also generated using this function now so as not to pull in the
dependency on snprintf.
in netdb.h, a definition for the NI_NUMERICSCOPE flag is added. this
is required by POSIX (it was previously missing) and needed to allow
callers to suppress interface-name lookups.
|
|
the return value is unsigned, so negative results for "errors" do not
make sense; 0 is the value reserved for when the interface name does
not exist.
|
|
previously, all failures to obtain at least one address were treated
as nonexistant names (EAI_NONAME). this failed to account for the
possibility of transient failures (no response at all, or a response
with rcode of 2, server failure) or permanent failures that do not
indicate the nonexistence of the requested name. only an rcode of 3
should be treated as an indication of nonexistence.
|
|
since the buffer passed always has an actual size of 512 bytes, the
maximum possible response packet size, no out-of-bounds access was
possible; however, reading past the end of the valid portion of the
packet could cause the parser to attempt to process junk as answer
content.
|
|
when wcsrtombs stopped due to hitting zero remaining space in the
output buffer, it was wrongly clearing the position pointer as if it
had completed the conversion successfully.
this commit rearranges the code somewhat to make a clear separation
between the cases of ending due to running out of output buffer space,
and ending due to reaching the end of input or an illegal sequence in
the input. the new branches have been arranged with the hope of
optimizing more common cases, too.
|
|
the old resolver code used a function __ipparse which contained the
logic for inet_addr and inet_aton, which is needed in getaddrinfo.
this was phased out in the resolver overhaul in favor of directly
using inet_aton and inet_pton as appropriate.
this commit cleans up some stuff that was left behind.
|
|
this is the third phase of the "resolver overhaul" project.
this commit removes all of the old dns code, and switches the
__lookup_name backend (used by getaddrinfo, etc.) and the getnameinfo
function to use the newly implemented __res_mkquery and __res_msend
interfaces. for parsing the results, a new callback-based __dns_parse
function, based on __dns_get_rr from the old dns code, is used.
