* add process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev syscall wrappersRich Felker2012-06-232-0/+22
| | | | based on a patch submitted by Kristian L. <email@thexception.net>
* update syscall defs to latest kernel onesRich Felker2012-06-233-0/+38
| | | | patch submitted by Kristian L. <email@thexception.net>
* proper error handling for fcntl F_GETOWN on modern kernelsRich Felker2012-06-205-1/+29
| | | | | | on old kernels, there's no way to detect errors; we must assume negative syscall return values are pgrp ids. but if the F_GETOWN_EX fcntl works, we can get a reliable answer.
* math: fix fma bug on x86 (found by Bruno Haible with gnulib)nsz2012-06-201-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The long double adjustment was wrong: The usual check is mant_bits & 0x7ff == 0x400 before doing a mant_bits++ or mant_bits-- adjustment since this is the only case when rounding an inexact ld80 into double can go wrong. (only in nearest rounding mode) After such a check the ++ and -- is ok (the mantissa will end in 0x401 or 0x3ff). fma is a bit different (we need to add 3 numbers with correct rounding: hi_xy + lo_xy + z so we should survive two roundings at different places without precision loss) The adjustment in fma only checks for zero low bits mant_bits & 0x3ff == 0 this way the adjusted value is correct when rounded to double or *less* precision. (this is an important piece in the fma puzzle) Unfortunately in this case the -- is not a correct adjustment because mant_bits might underflow so further checks are needed and this was the source of the bug.
* fix broken wcwidth tablesRich Felker2012-06-201-7/+8
| | | | | | unicode char data has both "W" and "F" wide types and the old table only included the "W" ones. this omitted U+3000 (ideographic space) and all the wide-ascii, etc.
* support ld80 pseudo-denormal invalid bit patterns; treat them as nanRich Felker2012-06-201-2/+5
| | | | | this is silly, but it makes apps that read binary junk and interpret it as ld80 "safer", and it gets gnulib to stop replacing printf...
* fix ptsname_r to conform to the upcoming posix requirementsRich Felker2012-06-202-4/+13
| | | | it should return the error code rather than 0/-1 and setting errno.
* fix fwrite return value when full write does not succeedRich Felker2012-06-201-1/+1
|
* avoid cancellation in pcloseRich Felker2012-06-201-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | at the point pclose might receive and act on cancellation, it has already invalidated the FILE passed to it. thus, per musl's QOI guarantees about cancellation and resource allocation/deallocation, it's not a candidate for cancellation. if it were required to be a cancellation point by posix, we would have to switch the order of deallocation, but somehow still close the pipe in order to trigger the child process to exit. i looked into doing this, but the logic gets ugly, and i'm not sure the semantics are conformant, so i'd rather just leave it alone unless there's a need to change it.
* fix invalid memory access in pcloseRich Felker2012-06-201-1/+2
|
* make popen cancellation-safeRich Felker2012-06-201-0/+7
| | | | | | | close was the only cancellation point called from popen, but it left popen with major resource leaks if any call to close got cancelled. the easiest, cheapest fix is just to use a non-cancellable close function.
* popen: handle issues with fd0/1 being closedRich Felker2012-06-201-3/+3
| | | | | also check for failure of dup2 and abort the child rather than reading/writing the wrong file.
* duplocale: don't crash when called with LC_GLOBAL_LOCALERich Felker2012-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | posix has resolved to add this usage; for now, we just avoid writing anything to the new locale object since it's not used anyway.
* make strerror_r behave nicer on failureRich Felker2012-06-201-2/+8
| | | | | | | if the buffer is too short, at least return a partial string. this is helpful if the caller is lazy and does not check for failure. care is taken to avoid writing anything if the buffer length is zero, and to always null-terminate when the buffer length is non-zero.
* fix another oob pointer arithmetic issue in printf floating pointRich Felker2012-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | this one could never cause any problems unless the compiler/machine goes to extra trouble to break oob pointer arithmetic, but it's best to fix it anyway.
* minor perror behavior fixRich Felker2012-06-201-1/+1
| | | | patch by nsz
* fix localeconv values and implementationRich Felker2012-06-191-15/+28
| | | | | | | | dynamic-allocation of the structure is not valid; it can crash an application if malloc fails. since localeconv is not specified to have failure conditions, the object needs to have static storage duration. need to review whether all the values are right or not still..
* fix mistake in length test in getlogin_rRich Felker2012-06-191-1/+1
| | | | | this was actually dangerously wrong, but presumably nobody uses this broken function anymore anyway..
* fix dummied-out fsyncRich Felker2012-06-191-2/+1
| | | | | | | if we eventually have build options, it might be nice to make an option to dummy this out again, in case anybody needs a system-wide disable for disk/ssd-thrashing, etc. that some daemons do when logging...
* fix dummied-out fdatasyncRich Felker2012-06-191-1/+1

* fix pointer overflow bug in floating point printfRich Felker2012-06-191-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | large precision values could cause out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in computing the precision cutoff (used to avoid expensive long-precision arithmetic when the result will be discarded). per the C standard, this is undefined behavior. one would expect that it works anyway, and in fact it did in most real-world cases, but it was randomly (depending on aslr) crashing in i386 binaries running on x86_64 kernels. this is because linux puts the userspace stack near 4GB (instead of near 3GB) when the kernel is 64-bit, leading to the out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic overflowing past the end of address space and giving a very low pointer value, which then compared lower than a pointer it should have been higher than. the new code rearranges the arithmetic so that no overflow can occur. while this bug could crash printf with memory corruption, it's unlikely to have security impact in real-world applications since the ability to provide an extremely large field precision value under attacker-control is required to trigger the bug.
* add vhangup syscall wrapperRich Felker2012-06-191-0/+8
| | | | | | request/patch by william haddonthethird, slightly modifed to add _GNU_SOURCE feature test macro so that the compiler can verify the prototype matches.
* include declarations for new stdio_ext functions (gnulib support)Rich Felker2012-06-191-0/+5
|
* add new stdio extension functions to make gnulib happyRich Felker2012-06-191-0/+24
| | | | | this is mildly ugly, but less ugly than gnulib trying to poke at the definition of the FILE structure...
* stdio: handle file position correctly at program exitRich Felker2012-06-194-6/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for seekable files, posix imposed requirements on the offset of the underlying open file description after a stream is closed. this was correctly handled (as a side effect of the unconditional fflush call) when streams were explicitly closed by fclose, but was not handled correctly at program exit time, where fflush(0) was being used. the weak symbol hackery is to pull in __stdio_exit if either of __toread or __towrite is used, but avoid calling it twice so we don't have to keep extra state. the new __stdio_exit is a streamlined fflush variant that avoids performing any unnecessary operations and which never unlocks the files or open file list, so we can be sure no other threads write new data to a stream's buffer after it's already flushed.
* minor cleanup in fflushRich Felker2012-06-191-5/+1
|
* remove flush hook cruft that was never used from stdioRich Felker2012-06-193-5/+1
| | | | | | | there is no need/use for a flush hook. the write function serves this purpose already. i originally created the hook for implementing mem streams based on a mistaken reading of posix, and later realized it wasn't useful but never removed it until now.
* fix multiple iconv bugs reading utf-16/32 and wchar_tRich Felker2012-06-181-8/+8
|
* fix iconv dest utf-16: unavailable chars must be replaced; EILSEQ is wrongRich Felker2012-06-181-2/+2
|
* fix erroneous utf-16 encoding with surrogates in iconvRich Felker2012-06-181-0/+1
| | | | apparently this was never tested before.
* change stdio_ext __freading/__fwriting semantics slightlyRich Felker2012-06-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the old behavior was to only consider a stream to be "reading" or "writing" if it had buffered, unread/unwritten data. this reportedly differs from the traditional behavior of these functions, which is essentially to return true as much as possible without creating the possibility that both __freading and __fwriting could return true. gnulib expects __fwriting to return true as soon as a file is opened write-only, and possibly expects other cases that depend on the traditional behavior. and since these functions exist mostly for gnulib (does anything else use them??), they should match the expected behavior to avoid even more ugly hacks and workarounds...
* fdopen should set errno when it fails due to invalid mode stringRich Felker2012-06-171-1/+4
|
* header file fixes: multiple include guard consistency and correctnessRich Felker2012-06-1510-18/+18
| | | | | | | one file was reusing another file's macro name, and many had inconsistent underscores and application of SYS prefix, etc. patch by Szabolcs Nagy (nsz)
* direct syscall to open in __init_security needs O_LARGEFILERich Felker2012-06-141-1/+1
| | | | | it probably does not matter for /dev/null, but this should be done consistently anyway.
* reorder exit code to defer stdio flush until after dtorsRich Felker2012-06-141-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | this is required in case dtors use stdio. also remove the old comments; one was cruft from when the code used to be using function pointers and conditional calls, and has little motivation now that we're using weak symbols. the other was just complaining about having to support dtors even though the cost was made essentially zero in the non-use case by the way it's done here.
* revert one change in time.h; no evidence BSD_SOURCE should expose these..Rich Felker2012-06-131-1/+1
|
* fix feature test macros in time.hRich Felker2012-06-131-5/+2
| | | | | stime is not _XOPEN_SOURCE, and some functions were missing with _BSD_SOURCE..
* add timegm function (inverse of gmtime), nonstandardRich Felker2012-06-132-0/+12
|
* add init_module/delete_module syscall wrappersRich Felker2012-06-131-0/+11
| | | | | | | these are not exposed publicly in any header, but the few programs that use them (modutils/kmod, etc.) are declaring the functions themselves rather than making the syscalls directly, and it doesn't really hurt to have them (same as the capset junk).
* add (currently stubbed due to stubbed strverscmp) versionsort functionRich Felker2012-06-132-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | based on patch by Emil Renner Berthing, with minor changes to dirent.h for LFS64 and organization of declarations this code should work unmodified once a real strverscmp is added, but I've been hesitant to add it because the GNU strverscmp behavior is harmful in a lot of cases (for instance if you have numeric filenames in hex). at some point I plan on trying to design a variant of the algorithm that behaves better on a mix of filename styles.
* add deprecated capabilities functionsRich Felker2012-06-131-0/+11
| | | | | | | these were left in glibc for binary compatibility after the public part of the interface was removed, and libcap kept using them (with its own copy of the header files) rather than just making the syscalls directly. might as well add them since they're so small...
* fix char signedness bug (arm-specific) in dynamic linkerRich Felker2012-06-091-1/+1
|
* add pthread_attr_setstack interface (and get)Rich Felker2012-06-094-10/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | i originally omitted these (optional, per POSIX) interfaces because i considered them backwards implementation details. however, someone later brought to my attention a fairly legitimate use case: allocating thread stacks in memory that's setup for sharing and/or fast transfer between CPU and GPU so that the thread can move data to a GPU directly from automatic-storage buffers without having to go through additional buffer copies. perhaps there are other situations in which these interfaces are useful too.
* fix scanning of "-0x" pseudo-hex float (must give negative zero)Rich Felker2012-06-081-1/+1
|
* fix signedness errors in stdint.h constant macrosRich Felker2012-06-081-2/+2
| | | | | the types of these expressions must match the integer promotions. unsigned 8- and 16-bit values promote to signed int, not unsigned int.
* fix %ls breakage in last printf fixRich Felker2012-06-081-2/+2
| | | | signedness issue kept %ls with no precision from working at all
* fix printf %ls with precision limit over-read issueRich Felker2012-06-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | printf was not printing too many characters, but it was reading one too many wchar_t elements from the input. this could lead to crashes if running off the page, or spurious failure if the conversion of the extra wchar_t resulted in EILSEQ.
* fix sysinfo, try 2. it seems to work this time.Rich Felker2012-06-071-10/+10
|
* sysinfo struct was utter nonsense; no idea where it came from.Rich Felker2012-06-071-4/+3
| | | | | this broke the busybox "free" utility (memory reporting) and possibly other things like uptime.
