* set AD bit in dns queries, suppress for internal useRich Felker2020-05-181-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the AD (authenticated data) bit in outgoing dns queries is defined by rfc3655 to request that the nameserver report (via the same bit in the response) whether the result is authenticated by DNSSEC. while all results returned by a DNSSEC conforming nameserver will be either authenticated or cryptographically proven to lack DNSSEC protection, for some applications it's necessary to be able to distinguish these two cases. in particular, conforming and compatible handling of DANE (TLSA) records requires enforcing them only in signed zones. when the AD bit was first defined for queries, there were reports of compatibility problems with broken firewalls and nameservers dropping queries with it set. these problems are probably a thing of the past, and broken nameservers are already unsupported. however, since there is no use in the AD bit with the netdb.h interfaces, explicitly clear it in the queries they make. this ensures that, even with broken setups, the standard functions will work, and at most the res_* functions break.
* reduce spurious inclusion of libc.hRich Felker2018-09-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented) cancellation points had to include it. remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases. in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h. declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are needed to use them correctly anyway.
* overhaul internally-public declarations using wrapper headersRich Felker2018-09-121-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers, allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are "internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc. rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of wrapping the corresponding public headers. parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they correspond to. along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means source files will no longer need to include any special headers to access these features. over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.
* move and deduplicate declarations of __dns_parse to make it checkableRich Felker2018-09-121-1/+0
| | | | | | the source file for this function is completely standalone, but it doesn't seem worth adding a header just for it, so declare it in lookup.h for now.
* getnameinfo: make size check not fail for bigger sizesHauke Mehrtens2015-10-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | getnameinfo() compares the size of the given struct sockaddr with sizeof(struct sockaddr_in) and sizeof(struct sockaddr_in6) depending on the net family. When you add a sockaddr of size sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage) this function will fail because the size of the sockaddr is too big. Change the check that it only fails if the size is too small, but make it work when it is too big for example when someone calls this function with a struct sockaddr_storage and its size. This fixes a problem with IoTivity 1.0.0 and musl. glibc and bionic are only failing if it is smaller, net/freebsd implemented the != check. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens <hauke@hauke-m.de>
* fix potential read past end of buffer in getnameinfo service name lookupRich Felker2014-09-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | if the loop stopped due to reaching the end of the string, the subsequent increment could possibly move the position one past the end of the buffer. no further writes happen, the reads cannot fault anyway unless the stack completely lacks any zero bytes, and reading junk should not yield an incorrect result from the function either. nonetheless the code was wrong and needs to be fixed.
* remove an extra layer of buffer copying in getnameinfo reverse dnsRich Felker2014-09-051-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | the outer getnameinfo function already has a properly-sized temporary buffer for storing the reverse dns (ptr) result. there is no reason for the callback to use a secondary buffer and copy it on success, and doing so potentially expanded the impact of the dn_expand bug that was fixed in commit 49d2c8c6bcf8c926e52c7f510033b6adc31355f5. this change reduces the code size by a small amount, and also reduces the run-time stack space requirements by about 256 bytes.
* add support for reverse port lookups from services file to getnameinfoRich Felker2014-06-041-4/+35
| | | | | this also affects the legacy getservbyport family, which uses getnameinfo as its backend.
* add support for reverse name lookups from hosts file to getnameinfoRich Felker2014-06-041-5/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | this also affects the legacy gethostbyaddr family, which uses getnameinfo as its backend. some other minor changes associated with the refactoring of source files are also made; in particular, the resolv.conf parser now uses the same code that's used elsewhere to handle ip literals, so as a side effect it can now accept a scope id for nameserver addressed with link-local scope.
* add support for ipv6 scope_id to getaddrinfo and getnameinfoRich Felker2014-06-041-4/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for all address types, a scope_id specified as a decimal value is accepted. for addresses with link-local scope, a string containing the interface name is also accepted. some changes are made to error handling to avoid unwanted fallbacks in the case where the scope_id is invalid: if an earlier name lookup backend fails with an error rather than simply "0 results", this failure now suppresses any later attempts with other backends. in getnameinfo, a light "itoa" type function is added for generating decimal scope_id results, and decimal port strings for services are also generated using this function now so as not to pull in the dependency on snprintf. in netdb.h, a definition for the NI_NUMERICSCOPE flag is added. this is required by POSIX (it was previously missing) and needed to allow callers to suppress interface-name lookups.
* switch standard resolver functions to use the new dns backendRich Felker2014-06-021-6/+53
| | | | | | | | | | this is the third phase of the "resolver overhaul" project. this commit removes all of the old dns code, and switches the __lookup_name backend (used by getaddrinfo, etc.) and the getnameinfo function to use the newly implemented __res_mkquery and __res_msend interfaces. for parsing the results, a new callback-based __dns_parse function, based on __dns_get_rr from the old dns code, is used.

* use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker2012-09-061-3/+3
| | | | | | | | to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99 compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form [restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.
* initial check-in, version 0.5.0 v0.5.0Rich Felker2011-02-121-0/+54
