* fix the %m specifier in syslogClément Vasseur2014-07-111-0/+3
| | | | | | errno must be saved upon vsyslog entry, otherwise its value could be changed by some libc function before reaching the %m handler in vsnprintf.
* explicitly reject empty names in dynamic linker load_library functionRich Felker2014-07-111-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | previously passing an empty string for name resulted in failure, as expected, but only after spurious syscalls, and it produced confusing errno values (and thus dlerror strings). in addition to dlopen calls, this issue affected use of LD_PRELOAD with trailing whitespace or colon characters.
* make dynamic linker accept colon as a separator for LD_PRELOADRich Felker2014-07-111-2/+2

* fix typo in microblaze setjmp asmRich Felker2014-07-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | r24 was wrongly being saved at a misaligned offset of 30 rather than the correct offset of 40 in the jmp_buf. the exact effects of this error have not been studied, but it's clear that the value of r24 was lost across setjmp/longjmp and the saved values of r21 and/or r22 may also have been corrupted.
* rename file containing pthread_cleanup_push and pop for consistencyRich Felker2014-07-061-0/+0
|
* rework cancellation weak alias logic not to depend on archive orderRich Felker2014-07-063-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | if the order of object files in the static archive libc.a was not respected by the linker, the old logic could wrongly cause POSIX symbols outside of the ISO C namespace to be pulled into pure C programs. this should not happen with well-behaved linkers, but relying on the link order was a bad idea anyway. files are renamed to better reflect their contents now that they don't need names to control their order as members in the archive file.
* fix multiple issues in legacy function getpassRich Felker2014-07-061-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | 1. failure to output a newline after the password is read 2. fd leaks via missing FD_CLOEXEC 3. fd leaks via failure-to-close when any of the standard streams are closed at the time of the call 4. wrongful fallback to use of stdin when opening /dev/tty fails 5. wrongful use of stderr rather than /dev/tty for prompt 6. failure to report error reading password
* eliminate use of cached pid from thread structureRich Felker2014-07-058-12/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the main motivation for this change is to remove the assumption that the tid of the main thread is also the pid of the process. (the value returned by the set_tid_address syscall was used to fill both fields despite it semantically being the tid.) this is historically and presently true on linux and unlikely to change, but it conceivably could be false on other systems that otherwise reproduce the linux syscall api/abi. only a few parts of the code were actually still using the cached pid. in a couple places (aio and synccall) it was a minor optimization to avoid a syscall. caching could be reintroduced, but lazily as part of the public getpid function rather than at program startup, if it's deemed important for performance later. in other places (cancellation and pthread_kill) the pid was completely unnecessary; the tkill syscall can be used instead of tgkill. this is actually a rather subtle issue, since tgkill is supposedly a solution to race conditions that can affect use of tkill. however, as documented in the commit message for commit 7779dbd2663269b465951189b4f43e70839bc073, tgkill does not actually solve this race; it just limits it to happening within one process rather than between processes. we use a lock that avoids the race in pthread_kill, and the use in the cancellation signal handler is self-targeted and thus not subject to tid reuse races, so both are safe regardless of which syscall (tgkill or tkill) is used.
* properly pass current locale to *_l functions when used internallyRich Felker2014-07-028-8/+16
| | | | | this change is presently non-functional since the callees do not yet use their locale argument for anything.
* consolidate str[n]casecmp_l into str[n]casecmp source filesRich Felker2014-07-024-13/+16
| | | | | this is mainly done for consistency with the ctype functions and to declutter the src/locale directory.
* consolidate *_l ctype/wctype functions into their non-_l source filesRich Felker2014-07-0261-213/+256
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the main practical purposes of this commit are to remove a huge amount of clutter from the src/locale directory, to cut down on the length of the $(AR) and $(LD) command lines, and to reduce the amount of space wasted by object file headers in the static libc.a. build time may also be reduced, though this has not been measured. as an additional justification, if there ever were a need for the behavior of these functions to vary by locale, it would be necessary for the non-_l versions to call the _l versions, so that linking the former without the latter would not be possible anyway.
* add locale frameworkRich Felker2014-07-029-22/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this commit adds non-stub implementations of setlocale, duplocale, newlocale, and uselocale, along with the data structures and minimal code needed for representing the active locale on a per-thread basis and optimizing the common case where thread-local locale settings are not in use. at this point, the data structures only contain what is necessary to represent LC_CTYPE (a single flag) and LC_MESSAGES (a name for use in finding message translation files). representation for the other categories will be added later; the expectation is that a single pointer will suffice for each. for LC_CTYPE, the strings "C" and "POSIX" are treated as special; any other string is accepted and treated as "C.UTF-8". for other categories, any string is accepted after being truncated to a maximum supported length (currently 15 bytes). for LC_MESSAGES, the name is kept regardless of whether libc itself can use such a message translation locale, since applications using catgets or gettext should be able to use message locales libc is not aware of. for other categories, names which are not successfully loaded as locales (which, at present, means all names) are treated as aliases for "C". setlocale never fails. locale settings are not yet used anywhere, so this commit should have no visible effects except for the contents of the string returned by setlocale.
* fix failure of wide printf/scanf functions to set wide orientationRich Felker2014-07-022-0/+3
| | | | | | in some cases, these functions internally call a byte-based input or output function before calling getwc/putwc, so they cannot rely on the latter to set the orientation.
* fix typo in a comment in __libc_start_mainRich Felker2014-07-011-1/+1
|
* fix incorrect return value for fwide functionRich Felker2014-07-011-1/+2
| | | | | | when the orientation of the stream was already set, fwide was incorrectly returning its argument (the requested orientation) rather than the actual orientation of the stream.
* fix ungrammatical comment in posix_spawn codeRich Felker2014-07-011-3/+3
|
* fix aliasing violations in mbtowc and mbrtowcRich Felker2014-07-012-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | these functions were setting wc to point to wchar_t aliasing itself as a "cheap" way to support null wc arguments. doing so was anything but cheap, since even without the aliasing violation, it would limit the compiler's ability to optimize. making wc point to a dummy object is equally easy and does not suffer from the above problems.
* fix regression in mips dynamic linkerRich Felker2014-06-302-1/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this issue caused the address of functions in shared libraries to resolve to their PLT thunks in the main program rather than their correct addresses. it was observed causing crashes, though the mechanism of the crash was not thoroughly investigated. since the issue is very subtle, it calls for some explanation: on all well-behaved archs, GOT entries that belong to the PLT use a special relocation type, typically called JMP_SLOT, so that the dynamic linker can avoid having the jump destinations for the PLT resolve to PLT thunks themselves (they also provide a definition for the symbol, which must be used whenever the address of the function is taken so that all DSOs see the same address). however, the traditional mips PIC ABI lacked such a JMP_SLOT relocation type, presumably because, due to the way PIC works, the address of the PLT thunk was never needed and could always be ignored. prior to commit adf94c19666e687a728bbf398f9a88ea4ea19996, the mips version of reloc.h contained a hack that caused all symbol lookups to be treated like JMP_SLOT, inhibiting undefined symbols from ever being used to resolve symbolic relocations. this hack goes all the way back to commit babf820180368f00742ec65b2050a82380d7c542, when the mips dynamic linker was first made usable. during the recent refactoring to eliminate arch-specific relocation processing (commit adf94c19666e687a728bbf398f9a88ea4ea19996), this hack was overlooked and no equivalent functionality was provided in the new code. fixing the problem is not as simple as adding back an equivalent hack, since there is now also a "non-PIC ABI" that can be used for the main executable, which actually does use a PLT. the closest thing to official documentation I could find for this ABI is nonpic.txt, attached to Message-ID: 20080701202236.GA1534@caradoc.them.org, which can be found in the gcc mailing list archives and elsewhere. per this document, undefined symbols corresponding to PLT thunks have the STO_MIPS_PLT bit set in the symbol's st_other field. thus, I have added an arch-specific rule for mips, applied at the find_sym level rather than the relocation level, to reject undefined symbols with the STO_MIPS_PLT bit clear. the previous hack of treating all mips relocations as JMP_SLOT-like, rather than rejecting the unwanted symbols in find_sym, probably also caused dlsym to wrongly return PLT thunks in place of the correct address of a function under at least some conditions. this should now be fixed, at least for global-scope symbol lookups.
* fix regression in dynamic linker error reportingRich Felker2014-06-291-9/+5
| | | | | | due to a mistake when refactoring the error printing for the dynamic linker (commit 7c73cacd09a51a87484db5689864743e4984a84d), all messages were suppressed and replaced by blank lines.
* release 1.1.3 v1.1.3Rich Felker2014-06-252-1/+27
|
* add tarball-producing targets to Makefile for ease of releaseRich Felker2014-06-251-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | my old, out-of-tree release script that performed a clone rather than using git archive checked the VERSION file to make sure that it matched before doing a release. I believe there should be a way to do the same with git commands (without resorting to checking out the desired tag) but I have not yet found a way, so care should be taken when using these targets that the correctness of the VERSION file is not overlooked.
* update version reference in the README fileRich Felker2014-06-251-1/+1

* add note to INSTALL file about gcc 4.9.0 not being supportedRich Felker2014-06-251-1/+2

* add routing protocols to getprotoent-family functionsTimo Teräs2014-06-241-0/+2
| | | | iptables and quagga need them to work.
* rename dynamic linker _start to _dlstart in the stub versionRich Felker2014-06-231-1/+1
| | | | | the renaming was previously applied to all real versions of the function in commit 3fa2eb2aba8d6b54dec53e7ad4c37e17392b166f.
* add __sysv_signal abi-compat alias for the signal functionRich Felker2014-06-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
* add __xmknod and __xmknodat abi-compat functionsRich Felker2014-06-221-0/+10
| | | | | these are put alongside the similar functions for __xstat, etc. in __xstat.c to avoid bloating the number of source files.
* consolidate __xstat abi-compat functions into a single source fileRich Felker2014-06-224-27/+18
| | | | | | | | | | 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).
* implement fmtmsg functionRich Felker2014-06-212-0/+137
| | | | | contributed by Isaac Dunham. this seems to be the last interface that was missing for complete POSIX 2008 base + XSI coverage.
* implement result address sorting in the resolver (getaddrinfo, etc.)Rich Felker2014-06-212-0/+136

* remove hack in syslog.h that resulted in aliasing violationsRich Felker2014-06-211-6/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | this issue affected the prioritynames and facilitynames arrays which are only provided when requested (usually by syslogd implementations) and which are presently defined as compound literals. the aliasing violation seems to have been introduced as a workaround for bad behavior by gcc's -Wwrite-strings option, but it caused compilers to completely optimize out the contents of prioritynames and facilitynames since, under many usage cases, the aliasing rules prove that the contents are never accessed.
* remove optimization-inhibiting behavior from configure's --enable-debugRich Felker2014-06-201-5/+2
| | | | | | | this behavior turned out to be counter-intuitive to users and in any case it's unnecessary. optimization can be disabled explicitly using the --disable-optimize option, or both can be achieved without any enable/disable options by passing CFLAGS="-O0 -g".
* fix gethostby*_r result pointer value on errorTimo Teräs2014-06-202-0/+3
| | | | | | | 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.
* fix sendmmsg emulation return value for zero-length vectorRich Felker2014-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | this case is not even documented, but the kernel returns 0 here and it makes sense to be consistent.
* rename dynamic linker entry point from _start to _dlstartRich Felker2014-06-209-20/+20
| | | | | | 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.
* implement sendmmsg and recvmmsgRich Felker2014-06-193-0/+55
| | | | | | | 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.
* add tlsdesc support for x86_64Rich Felker2014-06-192-0/+42
|
* separate __tls_get_addr implementation from dynamic linker/init_tlsRich Felker2014-06-193-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
* add tlsdesc support for i386Rich Felker2014-06-192-0/+29

* change dynamic TLS installation strategy to optimize accessRich Felker2014-06-191-8/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* add arch-generic support for tlsdesc relocations to dynamic linkerRich Felker2014-06-192-0/+54
| | | | | | 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.
* fix incorrect comparison loop condition in memmemRich Felker2014-06-191-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | 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).
* reduce code duplication in dynamic linker error pathsRich Felker2014-06-181-16/+16
| | | | eventually this should help making dlerror thread-safe too.
* refactor to remove arch-specific relocation code from dynamic linkerRich Felker2014-06-189-208/+187
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* fix powerpc dynamic linker thread-pointer-relative relocationsRich Felker2014-06-171-3/+3
| | | | | | | processing of R_PPC_TPREL32 was ignoring the addend provided by the RELA-style relocation and instead using the inline value as the addend. this presumably broke dynamic-linked access to initial TLS in cases where the addend was nonzero.
* multiple fixes to sh (superh) dynamic linker relocationsRich Felker2014-06-171-10/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the following issues are fixed: - R_SH_REL32 was adding the load address of the module being relocated to the result. this seems to have been a mistake in the original port, since it does not match other dynamic linker implementations and since adding a difference between two addresses (the symbol value and the relocation address) to a load address does not make sense. - R_SH_TLS_DTPMOD32 was wrongly accepting an inline addend (i.e. using += rather than = on *reloc_addr) which makes no sense; addition is not an operation that's defined on module ids. - R_SH_TLS_DTPOFF32 and R_SH_TLS_TPOFF32 were wrongly using inline addends rather than the RELA-provided addends. in addition, handling of R_SH_GLOB_DAT, R_SH_JMP_SLOT, and R_SH_DIR32 are merged to all honor the addend. the first two should not need it for correct usage generated by toolchains, but other dynamic linkers allow addends here, and it simplifies the code anyway. these issues were spotted while reviewing the code for the purpose of refactoring this part of the dynamic linker. no testing was performed.
* dynamic linker: permit error returns from arch-specific reloc functionRich Felker2014-06-168-8/+16
| | | | | | | | the immediate motivation is supporting TLSDESC relocations which require allocation and thus may fail (unless we pre-allocate), but this mechanism should also be used for throwing an error on unsupported or invalid relocation types, and perhaps in certain cases, for reporting when a relocation is not satisfiable.
* fix missing argument to syscall in fanotify_markClément Vasseur2014-06-141-1/+1
|
* support optional-argument extension to getopt via double-colonRich Felker2014-06-111-2/+5
| | | | | | | 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.
