* factor cancellation cleanup push/pop out of futex __timedwait functionRich Felker2015-03-029-26/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, the __timedwait function was optionally a cancellation point depending on whether it was passed a pointer to a cleaup function and context to register. as of now, only one caller actually used such a cleanup function (and it may face removal soon); most callers either passed a null pointer to disable cancellation or a dummy cleanup function. now, __timedwait is never a cancellation point, and __timedwait_cp is the cancellable version. this makes the intent of the calling code more obvious and avoids ugly dummy functions and long argument lists.
* fix failure of internal futex __timedwait to report ECANCELEDRich Felker2015-02-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | as part of abstracting the futex wait, this function suppresses all futex error values which callers should not see using a whitelist approach. when the masked cancellation mode was added, the new ECANCELED error was not whitelisted. this omission caused the new pthread_cond_wait code using masked cancellation to exhibit a spurious wake (rather than acting on cancellation) when the request arrived after blocking on the cond var.
* overhaul optimized x86_64 memset asmRich Felker2015-02-261-26/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | on most cpu models, "rep stosq" has high overhead that makes it undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 126, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosq" is sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 times slower when the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial. this version is based in part on changes proposed by Denys Vlasenko.
* overhaul optimized i386 memset asmRich Felker2015-02-261-32/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on most cpu models, "rep stosl" has high overhead that makes it undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 62, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosl" is very sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 to 4 times slower when the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial. this version is based in part on changes to the x86_64 memset asm proposed by Denys Vlasenko.
* getloadavg: use sysinfo() instead of /proc/loadavgAlexander Monakov2015-02-251-11/+7
| | | | Based on a patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
* fix possible isatty false positives and unwanted device state changesRich Felker2015-02-233-9/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to determine buffering mode, are also fixed. on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the fd refers to a tty. TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any tty device. this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and misleading.
* fix breakage in pthread_cond_wait due to typoRich Felker2015-02-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | due to accidental use of = instead of ==, the error code was always set to zero in the signaled wake case for non-shared cv waits. suppressing ETIMEDOUT (the only possible wait error) is harmless and actually permitted in this case, but suppressing mutex errors could give the caller false information about the state of the mutex. commit 8741ffe625363a553e8f509dc3ca7b071bdbab47 introduced this regression and commit d9da1fb8c592469431c764732d09f7756340190e preserved it when reorganizing the code.
* support alternate backends for the passwd and group dbsJosiah Worcester2015-02-234-2/+390
| | | | | | | | when we fail to find the entry in the commonly accepted files, we query a server over a Unix domain socket on /var/run/nscd/socket. the protocol used here is compatible with glibc's nscd protocol on most systems (all that use 32-bit numbers for all the protocol fields, which appears to be everything but Alpha).
* fix spurious errors in refactored passwd/group codeRich Felker2015-02-232-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | errno was treated as the error status when the return value of getline was negative, but this condition can simply indicate EOF and is not necessarily an error. the spurious errors caused by this bug masked the bug which was fixed in commit fc5a96c9c8aa186effad7520d5df6b616bbfd29d.
* fix crashes in refactored passwd/group codeRich Felker2015-02-232-4/+4
| | | | | | | the wrong condition was used in determining the presence of a result that needs space/copying for the _r functions. a zero return value does not necessarily mean success; it can also be a non-error negative result: no such user/group.
* simplify cond var code now that cleanup handler is not neededRich Felker2015-02-221-86/+63

* fix pthread_cond_wait cancellation raceRich Felker2015-02-221-5/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | it's possible that signaling a waiter races with cancellation of that same waiter. previously, cancellation was acted upon, causing the signal to be consumed with no waiter returning. by using the new masked cancellation state, it's possible to refuse to act on the cancellation request and instead leave it pending. to ease review and understanding of the changes made, this commit leaves the unwait function, which was previously the cancellation cleanup handler, in place. additional simplifications could be made by removing it.
* add new masked cancellation modeRich Felker2015-02-213-10/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | this is a new extension which is presently intended only for experimental and internal libc use. interface and behavior details may change subject to feedback and experience from using it internally. the basic concept for the new PTHREAD_CANCEL_MASKED state is that the first cancellation point to observe the cancellation request fails with an errno value of ECANCELED rather than acting on cancellation, allowing the caller to process the status and choose whether/how to act upon it.
* prepare cancellation syscall asm for possibility of __cancel returningRich Felker2015-02-205-11/+32

* map interruption of close by signal to success rather than EINPROGRESSRich Felker2015-02-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | commit 82dc1e2e783815e00a90cd3f681436a80d54a314 addressed the resolution of Austin Group issue 529, which requires close to leave the fd open when failing with EINTR, by returning the newly defined error code EINPROGRESS. this turns out to be a bad idea, though, since legacy applications not aware of the new specification are likely to interpret any error from close except EINTR as a hard failure.
* make pthread_exit responsible for disabling cancellationRich Felker2015-02-162-3/+2
| | | | | this requirement is tucked away in XSH 2.9.5 Thread Cancellation under the heading Thread Cancellation Cleanup Handlers.
* fix type error (arch-dependent) in new aio codeRich Felker2015-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | a_store is only valid for int, but ssize_t may be defined as long or another type. since there is no valid way for another thread to acess the return value without first checking the error/completion status of the aiocb anyway, an atomic store is not necessary.
* refactor group file access codeJosiah Worcester2015-02-136-51/+71
| | | | | this allows getgrnam and getgrgid to share code with the _r versions in preparation for alternate backend support.
* overhaul aio implementation for correctnessRich Felker2015-02-139-193/+440
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, aio operations were not tracked by file descriptor; each operation was completely independent. this resulted in non-conforming behavior for non-seekable/append-mode writes (which are required to be ordered) and made it impossible to implement aio_cancel, which in turn made closing file descriptors with outstanding aio operations unsafe. the new implementation is significantly heavier (roughly twice the size, and seems to be slightly slower) and presently aims mainly at correctness, not performance. most of the public interfaces have been moved into a single file, aio.c, because there is little benefit to be had from splitting them. whenever any aio functions are used, aio_cancel and the internal queue lifetime management and fd-to-queue mapping code must be linked, and these functions make up the bulk of the code size. the close function's interaction with aio is implemented with weak alias magic, to avoid pulling in heavy aio cancellation code in programs that don't use aio, and the expensive cancellation path (which includes signal blocking) is optimized out when there are no active aio queues.
* fix bad character checking in wordexpRich Felker2015-02-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | the character sequence '$((' was incorrectly interpreted as the opening of arithmetic even within single-quoted contexts, thereby suppressing the checks for bad characters after the closing quote. presently bad character checking is only performed when the WRDE_NOCMD is used; this patch only corrects checking in that case.
* refactor passwd file access codeJosiah Worcester2015-02-106-49/+65
| | | | | this allows getpwnam and getpwuid to share code with the _r versions in preparation for alternate backend support.
* x86_64/memset: avoid performing final store twiceDenys Vlasenko2015-02-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code does a potentially misaligned 8-byte store to fill the tail of the buffer. Then it fills the initial part of the buffer which is a multiple of 8 bytes. Therefore, if size is divisible by 8, we were storing last word twice. This patch decrements byte count before dividing it by 8, making one less store in "size is divisible by 8" case, and not changing anything in all other cases. All at the cost of replacing one MOV insn with LEA insn. Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
* x86_64/memset: simple optimizationsDenys Vlasenko2015-02-101-14/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "and $0xff,%esi" is a six-byte insn (81 e6 ff 00 00 00), can use 4-byte "movzbl %sil,%esi" (40 0f b6 f6) instead. 64-bit imul is slow, move it as far up as possible so that the result (rax) has more time to be ready by the time we start using it in mem stores. There is no need to shuffle registers in preparation to "rep movs" if we are not going to take that code path. Thus, patch moves "jump if len < 16" instructions up, and changes alternate code path to use rdx and rdi instead of rcx and r8. Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

* add syscall numbers for the new execveat syscallSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-097-4/+19
| | | | | | | | | this syscall allows fexecve to be implemented without /proc, it is new in linux v3.19, added in commit 51f39a1f0cea1cacf8c787f652f26dfee9611874 (sh and microblaze do not have allocated syscall numbers yet) added a x32 fix as well: the io_setup and io_submit syscalls are no longer common with x86_64, so use the x32 specific numbers.
* add new socket options SO_INCOMING_CPU, SO_ATTACH_BPF, SO_DETACH_BPFSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-091-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | these socket options are new in linux v3.19, introduced in commit 2c8c56e15df3d4c2af3d656e44feb18789f75837 and commit 89aa075832b0da4402acebd698d0411dcc82d03e with SO_INCOMING_CPU the cpu can be queried on which a socket is managed inside the kernel and optimize polling of large number of sockets accordingly. SO_ATTACH_BPF lets eBPF programs (created by the bpf syscall) to be attached to sockets.
* use the internal macro name FUTEX_PRIVATE in __waitSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-091-1/+1
| | | | | the name was recently added for the setxid/synccall rework, so use the name now that we have it.
* add IEEE binary128 long double support to floatscanSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-091-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | just defining the necessary constants: LD_B1B_MAX is 2^113 - 1 in base 10^9 KMAX is 2048 so the x array can hold up to 18432 decimal digits (the worst case is converting 2^-16495 = 5^16495 * 10^-16495 to binary, it requires the processing of int(log10(5)*16495)+1 = 11530 decimal digits after discarding the leading zeros, the conversion requires some headroom in x, but KMAX is more than enough for that) However this code is not optimal on archs with IEEE binary128 long double because the arithmetics is software emulated (on all such platforms as far as i know) which means big and slow strtod.
* math: fix fmodl for IEEE binary128Szabolcs Nagy2015-02-091-1/+1
| | | | | This trivial copy-paste bug went unnoticed due to lack of testing. No currently supported target archs are affected.
* simplify armhf fesetenvSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-081-1/+0
| | | | armhf fesetenv implementation did a useless read of the fpscr.
* fix fesetenv(FE_DFL_ENV) on mipsSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-081-1/+3
| | | | | mips fesetenv did not handle FE_DFL_ENV, now fcsr is cleared in that case.
* math: fix __fpclassifyl(-0.0) for IEEE binary128Szabolcs Nagy2015-02-081-3/+2
| | | | | The sign bit was not cleared before checking for 0 so -0.0 was misclassified as FP_SUBNORMAL instead of FP_ZERO.
* add parenthesis in fma.c to clarify intent and silence warningsSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-081-1/+1

* make getaddrinfo support SOCK_RAW and other socket typesRich Felker2015-02-074-34/+42
| | | | | | | | | all socket types are accepted at this point, but that may be changed at a later time if the behavior is not meaningful for other types. as before, omitting type (a value of 0) gives both UDP and TCP results, and SOCK_DGRAM or SOCK_STREAM restricts to UDP or TCP, respectively. for other socket types, the service name argument is required to be a null pointer, and the protocol number provided by the caller is used.
* remove cruft from x86_64 syscall.hSzabolcs Nagy2015-02-072-23/+3
| | | | | | | x86_64 syscall.h defined some musl internal syscall names and made them public. These defines were already moved to src/internal/syscall.h (except for SYS_fadvise which is added now) so the cruft in x86_64 syscall.h is not needed.
* fix failure of fchmodat to report EOPNOTSUPP in the race pathRich Felker2015-02-051-2/+4
| | | | | | | in the case where a non-symlink file was replaced by a symlink during the fchmodat operation with AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, mode change on the new symlink target was successfully suppressed, but the error was not reported. instead, fchmodat simply returned 0.
* fix fd leak race (missing O_CLOEXEC) in fchmodatRich Felker2015-02-041-1/+1

* make execvp continue PATH search on EACCES rather than issuing an errrorRich Felker2015-02-031-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the specification for execvp itself is unclear as to whether encountering a file that cannot be executed due to EACCES during the PATH search is a mandatory error condition; however, XBD 8.3's specification of the PATH environment variable clarifies that the search continues until a file with "appropriate execution permissions" is found. since it seems undesirable/erroneous to report ENOENT rather than EACCES when an early path element has a non-executable file and all later path elements lack any file by the requested name, the new code stores a flag indicating that EACCES was seen and sets errno back to EACCES in this case.
* fix missing memory barrier in cancellation signal handlerRich Felker2015-02-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in practice this was probably a non-issue, because the necessary barrier almost certainly exists in kernel space -- implementing signal delivery without such a barrier seems impossible -- but for the sake of correctness, it should be done here too. in principle, without a barrier, it is possible that the thread to be cancelled does not see the store of its cancellation flag performed by another thread. this affects both the case where the signal arrives before entering the critical program counter range from __cp_begin to __cp_end (in which case both the signal handler and the inline check fail to see the value which was already stored) and the case where the signal arrives during the critical range (in which case the signal handler should be responsible for cancellation, but when it does not see the cancellation flag, it assumes the signal is spurious and refuses to act on it). in the fix, the barrier is placed only in the signal handler, not in the inline check at the beginning of the critical program counter range. if the signal handler runs before the critical range is entered, it will of course take no action, but its barrier will ensure that the inline check subsequently sees the store. if on the other hand the inline check runs first, it may miss seeing the store, but the subsequent signal handler in the critical range will act upon the cancellation request. this strategy avoids adding a memory barrier in the common, non-cancellation code path.
* fix typo in x86_64/x32 user_fpregs_structFelix Janda2015-02-012-2/+2
| | | | mxcs_mask should be mxcr_mask
* make fsync, fdatasync, and msync cancellation pointsTrutz Behn2015-01-303-3/+3
| | | | | these are mandatory cancellation points per POSIX, so their omission was a conformance bug.
* move MREMAP_MAYMOVE and MREMAP_FIXED out of bitsTrutz Behn2015-01-3010-27/+2
| | | | | | the definitions are generic for all kernel archs. exposure of these macros now only occurs on the same feature test as for the function accepting them, which is believed to be more correct.
* fix missing comma in sh setjmp asmTrutz Behn2015-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | this typo did not result in an erroneous setjmp with at least binutils 2.22 but fix it for clarity and compatibility with potentially stricter sh assemblers.
* remove mips-only EINIT and EREMDEV errnosTrutz Behn2015-01-301-2/+0
| | | | | the errno values are unused by the kernel and the macro definitions were never exposed by glibc.
* fix failure of configure to detect gcc due to message translationsRich Felker2015-01-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | based on patch by Vadim Ushakov. in general overriding LC_ALL rather than specific categories (here, LC_MESSAGES) is undesirable, but LC_ALL is easier and in this case there is nothing else that depends on the locale in this invocation of the compiler.
* fix erroneous return of partial username matches by getspnam[_r]Rich Felker2015-01-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | when using /etc/shadow (rather than tcb) as its backend, getspnam_r matched any username starting with the caller-provided string rather than requiring an exact match. in practice this seems to have affected only systems where one valid username is a prefix for another valid username, and where the longer username appears first in the shadow file.
* simplify part of getopt_longRich Felker2015-01-211-13/+11
| | | | | | | as a result of commit e8e4e56a8ce1f3d7e4a027ff5478f2f8ea70c46b, the later code path for setting optarg to a null pointer is no longer necessary, and removing it eliminates an indention level and arguably makes the code more readable.
* always set optarg in getopt_longRich Felker2015-01-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | the standard getopt does not touch optarg unless processing an option with an argument. however, programs using the GNU getopt API, which we attempt to provide in getopt_long, expect optarg to be a null pointer after processing an option without an argument. before argument permutation support was added, such programs typically detected its absence and used their own replacement getopt_long, masking the discrepency in behavior.
* overhaul __synccall and fix AS-safety and other issues in set*idRich Felker2015-01-152-45/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | multi-threaded set*id and setrlimit use the internal __synccall function to work around the kernel's wrongful treatment of these process properties as thread-local. the old implementation of __synccall failed to be AS-safe, despite POSIX requiring setuid and setgid to be AS-safe, and was not rigorous in assuring that all threads were caught. in a worst case, threads late in the process of exiting could retain permissions after setuid reported success, in which case attacks to regain dropped permissions may have been possible under the right conditions. the new implementation of __synccall depends on the presence of /proc/self/task and will fail if it can't be opened, but is able to determine that it has caught all threads, and does not use any locks except its own. it thereby achieves AS-safety simply by blocking signals to preclude re-entry in the same thread. with this commit, all known conformance and safety issues in set*id functions should be fixed.
* add FUTEX_PRIVATE macro to internal futex.hRich Felker2015-01-151-0/+2
