originally the namespace-infringing "large file support" interfaces
were included as part of glibc-ABI-compat, with the intent that they
not be used for linking, since our off_t is and always has been
unconditionally 64-bit and since we usually do not aim to support
nonstandard interfaces when there is an equivalent standard interface.
unfortunately, having the symbols present and available for linking
caused configure scripts to detect them and attempt to use them
without declarations, producing all the expected ill effects that
entails.
as a result, commit 2dd8d5e1b8ba1118ff1782e96545cb8a2318592c was made
to prevent this, using macros to redirect the LFS64 names to the
standard names, conditional on _GNU_SOURCE or _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.
however, this has turned out to be a source of further problems,
especially since g++ defines _GNU_SOURCE by default. in particular,
the presence of these names as macros breaks a lot of valid code.
this commit removes all the LFS64 symbols and replaces them with a
mechanism in the dynamic linker symbol lookup failure path to retry
with the spurious "64" removed from the symbol name. in the future,
if/when the rest of glibc-ABI-compat is moved out of libc, this can be
removed.

we already attempt to preclude this case by having res_send use a
sufficiently large temporary buffer even if the caller did not provide
one as large as or larger than the udp dns max of 512 bytes. however,
it's possible that the caller passed a custom-crafted query packet
using EDNS0, e.g. to get detailed DNSSEC results, with a larger udp
size allowance.
I have also seen claims that there are some broken nameservers in the
wild that do not honor the dns udp limit of 512 and send large answers
without the TC bit set, when the query was not using EDNS.
we generally don't aim to support broken nameservers, but in this case
both problems, if the latter is even real, have a common solution:
using recvmsg instead of recvfrom so we can examine the MSG_TRUNC
flag.
|
|
the size of 512 is not sufficient to get at least one address in the
worst case where the name is at or near max length and resolves to a
CNAME at or near max length. prior to tcp fallback, there was nothing
we could do about this case anyway, but now it's fixable.
the new limit 768 is chosen so as to admit roughly the number of
addresses with a worst-case CNAME as could fit for a worst-case name
that's not a CNAME in the old 512-byte limit. outside of this
worst-case, the number of addresses that might be obtained is
increased.
MAXADDRS (48) was originally chosen as an upper bound on the combined
number of A and AAAA records that could fit in 512-byte packets (31
and 17, respectively). it is not increased at this time.
so as to prevent a situation where the A records consume almost all of
these slots (at 768 bytes, a "best-case" name can fit almost 47 A
records), the order of parsing is swapped to process AAAA first. this
ensures roughly half of the slots are available to each address
family.
|
|
tcp fallback was originally deemed unwanted and unnecessary, since we
aim to return a bounded-size result from getaddrinfo anyway and
normally plenty of address records fit in the 512-byte udp dns limit.
however, this turned out to have several problems:
- some recursive nameservers truncate by omitting all the answers,
rather than sending as many as can fit.
- a pathological worst-case CNAME for a worst-case name can fill the
entire 512-byte space with just the two names, leaving no room for
any addresses.
- the res_* family of interfaces allow querying of non-address records
such as TLSA (DANE), TXT, etc. which can be very large. for many of
these, it's critical that the caller see the whole RRset. also,
res_send/res_query are specified to return the complete, untruncated
length so that the caller can retry with an appropriately-sized
buffer. determining this is not possible without tcp.
so, it's time to add tcp fallback.
the fallback strategy implemented here uses one tcp socket per
question (1 or 2 questions), initiated via tcp fastopen when possible.
the connection is made to the nameserver that issued the truncated
answer. right now, fallback happens unconditionally when truncation is
seen. this can, and may later be, relaxed for queries made by the
getaddrinfo system, since it will only use a bounded number of results
anyway.
retry is not attempted again after failure over tcp. the logic could
easily be adapted to do that, but it's of questionable value, since
the tcp stack automatically handles retransmission and the successs
answer with TC=1 over udp strongly suggests that the nameserver has
the full answer ready to give. further retry is likely just "take
longer to fail".
|
|
for extremely small buffer sizes, the DNS query core in __res_msend
may malfunction completely, being unable to get even the headers to
determine the response code. but there is also a problem for
reasonable sizes under 512 bytes: __res_msend is unable to determine
if the udp answer was truncated at the recv layer, in which case it
may be incomplete, and res_send is then unable to honor its contract
to return the length of the full, non-truncated answer.
at present, res_send does not honor that contract anyway when the full
answer would exceed 512 bytes, since there is no tcp fallback, but
this change at least makes it consistent in a context where this is
the only "full answer" to be had.
|
|
this is groundwork for TCP fallback support, but does not itself
change behavior in any way.
|
|
this was apparently omitted long ago out of a lack of understanding of
its importance and the fact that POSIX doesn't specify it. despite not
being officially standardized, however, it turns out that at least
AIX, glibc, NetBSD, OpenBSD, QNX, and Solaris document and support it.
in certain usage cases, such as implementing a DNS gateway on top of
the stub resolver interfaces, it's necessary to distinguish the case
where a name does not exit (NxDomain) from one where it exists but has
no addresses (or other records) of the requested type (NODATA). in
fact, even the legacy gethostbyname API had this distinction, which we
were previously unable to support correctly because the backend lacked
it.
apart from fixing an important functionality gap, adding this
distinction helps clarify to users how search domain fallback works
(falling back in cases corresponding to EAI_NONAME, not in ones
corresponding to EAI_NODATA), a topic that has been a source of
ongoing confusion and frustration.
as a result of this change, EAI_NONAME is no longer a valid universal
error code for getaddrinfo in the case where AI_ADDRCONFIG has
suppressed use of all address families. in order to return an accurate
result in this case, getaddrinfo is modified to still perform at least
one lookup. this will almost surely fail (with a network error, since
there is no v4 or v6 network to query DNS over) unless a result comes
from the hosts file or from ip literal parsing, but in case it does
succeed, the result is replaced by EAI_NODATA.
glibc has a related error code, EAI_ADDRFAMILY, that could be used for
the AI_ADDRCONFIG case and certain NODATA cases, but distinguishing
them properly in full generality seems to require additional DNS
queries that are otherwise not useful. on glibc, it is only used for
ip literals with mismatching family, not for DNS or hosts file results
where the name has addresses only in the opposite family. since this
seems misleading and inconsistent, and since EAI_NODATA already covers
the semantic case where the "name" exists but doesn't have any
addresses in the requested family, we do not adopt EAI_ADDRFAMILY at
this time. this could be changed at some point if desired, but the
logic for getting all the corner cases with AI_ADDRCONFIG right is
slightly nontrivial.
|
|
EAI_MEMORY is not possible (but would not provide errno if it were)
and EAI_FAIL does not provide errno. treat the latter as EBADMSG to
match how it's handled in gethostbyname2_r (it indicates erroneous or
failure response from the nameserver).
|
|
EAI_MEMORY is not possible because the resolver backend does not
allocate. if it did, it would be necessary for us to explicitly return
ENOMEM as the error, since errno is not guaranteed to reflect the
error cause except in the case of EAI_SYSTEM, so the existing code was
not correct anyway.
|
|
these functions are horribly underspecified, inconsistent between
historical systems, and should never have been included. however, the
signatures we have match the glibc ones, and the glibc behavior is to
treat NxDomain and NODATA results as a success condition, not an
ENOENT error.
|
|
this distinction only affects search, but allows search to continue
when concatenating one of the search domains onto the requested name
produces a result that's not valid. this can happen when the
concatenation is too long, or one of the search list entries is
itself not valid.
as a consequence of this change, having "." in the search domains list
will now be ignored/skipped rather than making the lookup abort with
no results (due to producing a concatenation ending in ".."). this
behavior could be changed later if needed.
|
|
the main loop already errors out on zero-length labels within the
name, but terminates before having a chance to check for an erroneous
final zero-length label, instead producing a malformed query packet
with a '.' byte instead of the terminating zero.
rather than poke at the look logic, simply detect this condition early
and error out without doing anything.
this also fixes behavior of getaddrinfo when "." appears in the search
domain list, which produces a name ending in ".." after concatenation,
at least in the sense of no longer emitting malformed packets on the
network. however, due to other issues, the lookup will still fail.

After commit 5b74eed3b301e2227385f3bf26d3bb7c2d822cf8 the timer thread
doesn't check whether timer_create() actually created the timer,
proceeding to wait for a signal that might never arrive. We can't fix
this by simply checking for a negative timer_id after
pthread_barrier_wait() because we have no way to distinguish a timer
creation failure and a request to delete a timer with INT_MAX id if it
happens to arrive quickly (a variation of this bug existed before
5b74eed3b301e2227385f3bf26d3bb7c2d822cf8, where the timer would be
leaked in this case). So (ab)use cancel field of pthread_t instead.

commit 4486c579cbf0d989080705f515d08cb48636ba88 disabled vdso
clock_gettime on arm due to a Linux kernel bug that was not understood
at the time, whereby the vdso function silently produced
catastrophically wrong results on some systems.
since then, the bug was tracked down to the way the arm kernel
disabled use of vdso clock_gettime on kernels where the necessary
timer was not available or was disabled. it simply patched out the
symbols, but it only did this for the legacy time32 functions, and
left the time64 function in place but non-operational. kernel commit
4405bdf3c57ec28d606bdf5325f1167505bfdcd4 (first present in 5.8)
provided the fix.
if this were a bug that impacted all users of the broken kernel
versions, we could probably ignore it and assume it had been patched
or replaced. however, it's very possible that these kernels appear in
the wild in devices running time32 userspace (glibc, musl 1.1.x, or
some other environment) where they appear to work fine, but where our
new binaries would fail catastrophically if we used the time64 vdso
function.
since the kernel has not (yet?) given us a way to probe for the
working time64 vdso function semantically, we work around the problem
by refusing to use the time64 one unless the time32 one is also
present. this will revert to not using vdso at all if the time32 one
is ever removed, but at least that's safe against wrong results and is
just a missed optimization.

open_wmemstream's write method was written assuming no buffering,
since it sets the FILE up with buf_len of zero in order to avoid
issues with position/seeking. however, as a consequence of commit
bd57e2b43a5b56c00a82adbde0e33e5820c81164, a FILE being written to by
the printf core has a temporary local buffer for the duration of the
operation if it was unbuffered to begin with. since this was
disregarded by the wide memstream's write method, output produced
through this code path, particularly numeric fields, was missing from
the output wchar buffer.
copy the equivalent logic for using the buffered data from the
byte-oriented open_memstream.

if resolv.conf lists no nameservers at all, the default of 127.0.0.1
is used. however, another "no nameservers" case arises where the
system has ipv6 support disabled/configured-out and resolv.conf only
contains v6 nameservers. this caused the resolver to repeat socket
operations that will necessarily fail (sending to one or more
wrong-family addresses) while waiting for a timeout.
it would be contrary to configured intent to query 127.0.0.1 in this
case, but the current behavior is not conducive to diagnosing the
configuration problem. instead, fail immediately with EAI_SYSTEM and
errno==EAFNOSUPPORT so that the configuration error is reportable.

use the legacy constant values if the kernel does not provide
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ (__getauxval will return 0 in this case) and as a
safety check if something is wrong and the provided value is less than
the legacy constant.
sysconf(_SC_SIGSTKSZ) returns SIGSTKSZ adjusted for the difference
between the legacy constant MINSIGSTKSZ and the runtime value, so that
the working space the application has on top of the minimum remains
invariant under changes to the minimum.
|
|
as a result of ISA extensions exploding register file sizes on some
archs, using a constant for minimum signal stack size no longer seems
viably future-proof. add sysconf keys allowing the kernel to provide a
machine-dependent minimum applications can query to ensure they
allocate sufficient space for stacks. the key names and indices align
with the same functionality in glibc.
see commit d5a5045382315e36588ca225889baa36ed0ed38f for previous
action on this subject.
ultimately, the macros MINSIGSTKSZ and SIGSTKSZ probably need to be
deprecated, but that is standards-amendment work outside the scope of
a single implementation.
|

apparently this code path was never tested, as it's not usual to have
v6 nameservers listed on a system without v6 networking support. but
it was always intended to work.
when reverting to binding a v4 address, also revert the family in the
sockaddr structure and the socklen for it. otherwise bind will just
fail due to mismatched family/sockaddr size.

This is a part of the interface contract defined in the Linux man
page (official for a Linux-specific interface) and asserted by test
cases in the Linux Test Project (LTP).
|
|
a request for this behavior has been open for a long time. the
motivation is that application code, particularly under some language
runtimes designed around very-low-footprint coroutine type constructs,
may be operating with extremely small stack sizes unsuitable for
receiving signals, using a separate signal stack for any signals it
might handle.
progress on this was blocked at one point trying to determine whether
the implementation is actually entitled to clobber the alt stack, but
the phrasing "available to the implementation" in the POSIX spec for
sigaltstack seems to make it clear that the application cannot rely on
the contents of this memory to be preserved in the absence of signal
delivery (on the abstract machine, excluding implementation-internal
signals) and that we can therefore use it for delivery of signals that
"don't exist" on the abstract machine.
no change is made for SIGTIMER since it is always blocked when used,
and accepted via sigwaitinfo rather than execution of the signal
handler.
|
|
this is a requirement of the C language (orientation) and POSIX
(encoding rule) that was somehow overlooked.
we rely on the fact that the buffer pointers have been reset by
fflush, so that any future stdio operations on the stream will go
through the same code paths they would on a newly-opened file without
an orientation set, thereby setting the orientation as they should.
|
|
this resolves DT_RELR relocations in non-ldso, dynamic-linked objects.
|
|
otherwise, pointer arguments are sign-extended on x32, resulting in
EFAULT.
|
|
the syscall used to probe availability of the clock fails with EINVAL
when the requested pid does not exist, but clock_getcpuclockid is
specified to use ESRCH for this purpose.
|
|
The generic vfork implementation uses clone(SIGCHLD) which has fork
semantics.
Implement vfork as clone(SIGCHLD|CLONE_VM|CLONE_VFORK, 0) instead which
has vfork semantics. (stack == 0 means sp is unchanged in the child.)
Some users rely on vfork semantics when memory overcommit is disabled
or when the vfork child runs code that synchronizes with the parent
process (non-conforming).
|
|
this code attempts to use the value of errno from failure of socket or
connect to infer availability of the requested address family (v4 or
v6). however, in the case where connect failed, there is an
intervening call to close between connect and the use of errno. close
is not required to preserve errno on success, and in fact the
__aio_close code, which is called whenever aio is linked and thus
always called in dynamic-linked programs, unconditionally clobbers
errno. as a result, getaddrinfo fails with EAI_SYSTEM and errno=ENOENT
rather than correctly determining that the address family was
unavailable.
this fix is based on report/patch by Jussi Nieminen, but simplified
slightly to avoid breaking the case where socket, not connect, failed.
|
|
this is not an issue that was actually hit, but I noticed it during
previous changes to __randname: if the resolution of tv_nsec is too
low, the space of temp file names obtainable by a thread could
plausibly be exhausted. mixing in tv_sec avoids this.
|
|
the __randname function is used by various temp file creation
interfaces as a backend to produce a name to attempt using. it does
not have to produce results that are safe against guessing, and only
aims to avoid unintentional collisions.
mixing the address of an object on the stack in a reversible manner
leaked ASLR information, potentially allowing an attacker who can
observe the temp files created and their creation timestamps to narrow
down the possible ASLR state of the process that created them. there
is no actual value in mixing these addresses in; it was just
obfuscation. so don't do it.
instead, mix the tid, just to avoid collisions if multiple
processes/threads stampede to create temp files at the same moment.
even without this measure, they should not collide unless the clock
source is very low resolution, but it's a cheap improvement.
if/when we have a guaranteed-available userspace csprng, it could be
used here instead. even though there is no need for cryptographic
entropy here, it would avoid having to reason about clock resolution
and such to determine whether the behavior is nice.
|
|
assuming a reasonable realtime clock, res_mkquery is highly unlikely
to generate the same query id twice in a row, but it's possible with a
very low-resolution system clock or under extreme delay of forward
progress. when it happens, res_msend fails to wait for both answers,
and instead stops listening after getting two answers to the same
query (A or AAAA).
to avoid this, increment one byte of the second query's id if it
matches the first query's. don't bother checking if the second byte is
also equal, since it doesn't matter; we just need to ensure that at
least one byte is distinct.
|
|
commit 05973dc3bbc1aca9b3c8347de6879ed72147ab3b made it so that lines
longer than INT_MAX can in theory be read, but did not use a suitable
type for the positions determined by sscanf. we could change to using
size_t, but since the signature for getmntent_r does not admit lines
longer than INT_MAX, it does not make sense to support them in the
legacy thread-unsafe form either -- the principle here is that there
should not be an incentive to use the unsafe function to get added
functionality.
|
|
According to fstab(5), the last two fields are optional, but this
wasn't accepted. After this change, only the first field is required,
which matches glibc's behaviour.
Using sscanf as before, it would have been impossible to differentiate
between 0 fields and 4 fields, because sscanf would have returned 0 in
both cases due to the use of assignment suppression and %n for the
string fields (which is important to avoid copying any strings). So
instead, before calling sscanf, initialize every string to the empty
string, and then we can check which strings are empty afterwards to
know how many fields were matched.
|
|
function pointer types do not implicitly convert to void *. a cast is
required here.
|
|
this isolates knowledge of the nonstandard AT_EMPTY_PATH extension to
one place and returns __map_file to its prior simplicity.
|
|
this avoids the need for implementation-internal callers to depend on
the nonstandard AT_EMPTY_PATH extension to use __fstatat and isolates
knowledge of that extension to the implementation of __fstat.
|
|
riscv32 and future architectures only provide statx.
|
|
this function is used to implement some baseline ISO C interfaces, so
it cannot call any of the stat functions by their public names. use
the namespace-safe __fstatat instead.
|
|
this makes it so we can drop direct stat syscall use in interfaces
that can't use the POSIX namespace.
|
|
instead, use the fstatat/stat functions, so that the logic for which
syscalls are present and usable is all in fstatat.
this results in a slight increase in cost for old kernels on 32-bit
archs: now statx will be attempted first rather than just using the
legacy time32 syscalls, despite us not caring about timestamps.
however, it's not even clear that the legacy syscalls *should* succeed
if the timestamps are out of range; arguably they should fail with
EOVERFLOW. as such, paying a small cost here on old kernels seems
well-motivated.
with this change, fchmodat itself is no longer blocking ports to new
archs that lack the legacy syscalls.
|
|
this change serves two purposes:
1. it eliminates one of the few remaining uses of the kernel stat
structure which will not be present in future archs, avoiding the need
for growing ifdef logic here.
2. it potentially makes the operations less expensive when the
candidate exists as a non-symlink by avoiding the need to read the
inode (assuming the directory tables suffice to distinguish symlinks).
this uses the idiom I discovered while rewriting realpath for commit
29ff7599a448232f2527841c2362643d246cee36 of being able to use the
readlink operation as an inexpensive probe for file existence that
doesn't following symlinks.
|
|
riscv32 and future architectures only provide the clock_ functions.
|
|
riscv32 and future architectures only provide prlimit64.
|
|
riscv32 and future architectures lack the _time32 variants entirely,
so don't try to use their numbers. instead, reflect that they're not
present.
|
|
_CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_CFLAGS and _CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_LDFLAGS have been
missing for a long time, which is a conformance defect. we were
waiting on glibc to add them or at least agree on the numeric values
they will have so as to keep the numbering aligned. it looks like they
will be added to glibc with these numbers, and in any case, this list
does not have any significant churn that would result in the numbers
getting taken.
|
|
the wrong name works only by accident.
|
|
the change to support passing null was rejected in the past on the
grounds that GNU gettext documented it as undefined, on an assumption
that only glibc accepted it and that the standalone GNU gettext did
not. but it turned out that both explicitly accept it.
in light of this, since some software assumes null can be passed
safely, allow it.

|
newlocale and freelocale use __libc_malloc and __libc_free, but
duplocale used malloc. If malloc was replaced, this resulted in
invalid free using the wrong allocator when passing the result of
duplocale to freelocale.
Instead, use libc-internal malloc for duplocale.
This bug was introduced by commit
1e4204d522670a1d8b8ab85f1cfefa960547e8af.

To comply with POSIX, change errno from EACCES to EPERM
when the caller did not have the required privilege.
|
|
This reduces entropy of the canary from 64-bit to 56-bit in exchange
for mitigating non-terminated C string overflows by setting the second
byte of the canary to nul, so that off-by-one write overflow with a
nul byte can still be detected.

gcc-12 with -frounding-mode will do inexact constant conversions at
runtime according to the runtime rounding mode.
in the math library we want constants to be rounding mode independent
so this patch fixes cases where new runtime conversions happen with
gcc-12.
fortunately this only affects two minor cases, the fix uses global
initializers where rounding mode does not apply.
after the patch the same amount of conversions happen with gcc-12 as
with gcc-11.
