* make ifaddrs.h expose sys/socket.hRich Felker2013-04-101-0/+1
| | | | | | the getifaddrs interface seems to have been invented by glibc, and they expose socket.h, so for us not to do so is just gratuitous incompatibility with the interface we're mimicing.
* getifaddrs: implement proper ipv6 netmasksrofl0r2013-04-091-2/+11

* mbrtowc: do not leave mbstate_t in permanent-fail state after EILSEQRich Felker2013-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the standard is clear that the old behavior is conforming: "In this case, [EILSEQ] shall be stored in errno and the conversion state is undefined." however, the specification of mbrtowc has one peculiarity when the source argument is a null pointer: in this case, it's required to behave as mbrtowc(NULL, "", 1, ps). no motivation is provided for this requirement, but the natural one that comes to mind is that the intent is to reset the mbstate_t object. for stateful encodings, such behavior is actually specified: "If the corresponding wide character is the null wide character, the resulting state described shall be the initial conversion state." but in the case of UTF-8 where the mbstate_t object contains a partially-decoded character rather than a shift state, a subsequent '\0' byte indicates that the previous partial character is incomplete and thus an illegal sequence. naturally, applications using their own mbstate_t object should clear it themselves after an error, but the standard presently provides no way to clear the builtin mbstate_t object used when the ps argument is a null pointer. I suspect this issue may be addressed in the future by specifying that a null source argument resets the state, as this seems to have been the intent all along. for what it's worth, this change also slightly reduces code size.
* implement mbtowc directly, not as a wrapper for mbrtowcRich Felker2013-04-081-5/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | the interface contract for mbtowc admits a much faster implementation than mbrtowc can achieve; wrapping mbrtowc with an extra call frame only made the situation worse. since the regex implementation uses mbtowc already, this change should improve regex performance too. it may be possible to improve performance in other places internally by switching from mbrtowc to mbtowc.
* optimize mbrtowcRich Felker2013-04-081-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | this simple change, in my measurements, makes about a 7% performance improvement. at first glance this change would seem like a compiler-specific hack, since the modified code is not even used. however, I suspect the reason is that I'm eliminating a second path into the main body of the code, allowing the compiler more flexibility to optimize the normal (hot) path into the main body. so even if it weren't for the measurable (and quite notable) difference in performance, I think the change makes sense.
* fix out-of-bounds access in UTF-8 decodingRich Felker2013-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SA and SB are used as the lowest and highest valid starter bytes, but the value of SB was one-past the last valid starter. this caused access past the end of the state table when the illegal byte '\xf5' was encountered in a starter position. the error did not show up in full-character decoding tests, since the bogus state read from just past the table was unlikely to admit any continuation bytes as valid, but would have shown up had we tested feeding '\xf5' to the byte-at-a-time decoding in mbrtowc: it would cause the funtion to wrongly return -2 rather than -1. I may eventually go back and remove all references to SA and SB, replacing them with the values; this would make the code more transparent, I think. the original motivation for using macros was to allow misguided users of the code to redefine them for the purpose of enlarging the set of accepted sequences past the end of Unicode...
* fix signalfd not to ignore flagsRich Felker2013-04-071-1/+12
| | | | | | also include fallback code for broken kernels that don't support the flags. as usual, the fallback has a race condition that can leak file descriptors.
* silence nonsensical warnings in timer_createRich Felker2013-04-061-2/+2
|
* add support for program_invocation[_short]_nameRich Felker2013-04-063-2/+18
| | | | | | | | | | this is a bit ugly, and the motivation for supporting it is questionable. however the main factors were: 1. it will be useful to have this for certain internal purposes anyway -- things like syslog. 2. applications can just save argv[0] in main, but it's hard to fix non-portable library code that's depending on being able to get the invocation name without the main application's help.
* fix argument omission in ABI-compat weak_alias for fscanfRich Felker2013-04-061-1/+1
|
* Add ABI compatability aliases.Isaac Dunham2013-04-0513-0/+38
| | | | | | | | GNU used several extensions that were incompatible with C99 and POSIX, so they used alternate names for the standard functions. The result is that we need these to run standards-conformant programs that were linked with glibc.
* fix type error in pthread_create, introduced with pthread_getattr_npRich Felker2013-04-061-1/+1

|
* add getifaddrsrofl0r2013-04-052-0/+222
| | | | | | supports ipv4 and ipv6, but not the "extended" usage where usage statistics and other info are assigned to ifa_data members of duplicate entries with AF_PACKET family.
* net/if.h: add some missing IFF_ constantsrofl0r2013-04-051-0/+5

* add prototype for dn_skipnameRich Felker2013-04-041-0/+1

* fix type issues in stdint.h so underlying types of 64-bit types match ABIRich Felker2013-04-047-8/+33
|
* eliminate bits/wchar.hRich Felker2013-04-048-26/+15
| | | | | | | the preprocessor can reliably determine the signedness of wchar_t. L'\0' is used for 0 in the expressions so that, if the underlying type of wchar_t is long rather than int, the promoted type of the expression will match the type of wchar_t.
* eliminate gcc dependency for testing char signedness in limits.hRich Felker2013-04-041-1/+1
|
* add put*ent functions for passwd/group files and similar for shadowRich Felker2013-04-045-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | since shadow does not yet support enumeration (getspent), the corresponding FILE-based get and put versions are also subbed out for now. this is partly out of laziness and partly because it's not clear how they should work in the presence of TCB shadow files. the stubs should make it possible to compile some software that expects them to exist, but such software still may not work properly.
* cleanup wcstombsRich Felker2013-04-041-12/+1
| | | | | remove redundant headers and comments; this file is completely trivial now. also, avoid temp var.
* cleanup mbstowcs wrapperRich Felker2013-04-041-10/+0
| | | | | remove unneeded headers. this file is utterly trivial now and there's no sense in having a comment to state that it's in the public domain.
* minor optimization to mbstowcsRich Felker2013-04-041-2/+1
| | | | | | there is no need to zero-fill an mbstate_t object in the caller; mbsrtowcs will automatically treat a null pointer as the initial state.
* fix incorrect range checks in wcsrtombsRich Felker2013-04-041-3/+3
| | | | | | negative values of wchar_t need to be treated in the non-ASCII case so that they can properly generate EILSEQ rather than getting truncated to 8bit values and stored in the output.
* overhaul mbsrtowcsRich Felker2013-04-041-69/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | these changes fix at least two bugs: - misaligned access to the input as uint32_t for vectorized ASCII test - incorrect src pointer after stopping on EILSEQ in addition, the text of the standard makes it unclear whether the mbstate_t object is to be modified when the destination pointer is null; previously it was cleared either way; now, it's only cleared when the destination is non-null. this change may need revisiting, but it should not affect most applications, since calling mbsrtowcs with non-zero state can only happen when the head of the string was already processed with mbrtowc. finally, these changes shave about 20% size off the function and seem to improve performance by 1-5%.
* re-add useconds_trofl0r2013-04-028-0/+8
| | | | | | | | this type was removed back in 5243e5f1606a9c6fcf01414e , because it was removed from the XSI specs. however some apps use it. since it's in the POSIX reserved namespace, we can expose it unconditionally.
* add arpa/nameser_compat.hrofl0r2013-04-021-0/+2
| | | | the contents of this header are already in arpa/nameser.h

| | | | | SO_REUSEPORT implementation was merged in the linux kernel commit c617f398edd4db2b8567a28e899a88f8f574798d 2013-01-23

* fix typo in setpriority syscall wrapperRich Felker2013-04-011-1/+1

* provide prototype for pthread_getattr_npRich Felker2013-03-311-0/+4
|
* implement pthread_getattr_npRich Felker2013-03-313-2/+31
| | | | | | this function is mainly (purely?) for obtaining stack address information, but we also provide the detach state since it's easy to do anyway.
* remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIGRich Felker2013-03-2621-35/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the issue at hand is that many syscalls require as an argument the kernel-ABI size of sigset_t, intended to allow the kernel to switch to a larger sigset_t in the future. previously, each arch was defining this size in syscall_arch.h, which was redundant with the definition of _NSIG in bits/signal.h. as it's used in some not-quite-portable application code as well, _NSIG is much more likely to be recognized and understood immediately by someone reading the code, and it's also shorter and less cluttered. note that _NSIG is actually 65/129, not 64/128, but the division takes care of throwing away the off-by-one part.
* provide emulation of fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC on old kernelsRich Felker2013-03-261-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | I'm not entirely happy with the amount of ugliness here, but since F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is used elsewhere in code that's expected to work on old kernels (popen), it seems necessary. reportedly even some modern kernels went back and broke F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC (making it behave like plain F_DUPFD), so it might be necessary to add some additional fixup code later to deal with that issue too.
* in pipe2, use pipe() rather than __syscall(SYS_pipe, ...) for fallbackRich Felker2013-03-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | SYS_pipe is not usable directly in general, since mips has a very broken calling convention for the pipe syscall. instead, just call the function, so that the mips-specific ugliness is isolated in mips/pipe.s and not copied elsewhere.
* rewrite popen to use posix_spawn instead of fragile vfork hacksRich Felker2013-03-241-41/+41

* remove cruft from pre-posix_spawn version of the system functionRich Felker2013-03-241-6/+0
