* workaround another sendmsg kernel bug on 64-bit machinesRich Felker2012-07-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes over unix sockets.
* fix misplaced semicolon in preprocessor directive (#undef h_errno)Rich Felker2012-05-161-1/+1
|
* use __h_errno_location for h_errnoRich Felker2012-05-122-0/+9
| | | | | | we do not bother making h_errno thread-local since the only interfaces that use it are inherently non-thread-safe. but still use the potentially-thread-local ABI to access it just to avoid lock-in.
* improve name lookup performance in corner casesRich Felker2012-04-012-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | the buffer in getaddrinfo really only matters when /etc/hosts is huge, but in that case, the huge number of syscalls resulting from a tiny buffer would seriously impact the performance of every name lookup. the buffer in __dns.c has also been enlarged a bit so that typical resolv.conf files will fit fully in the buffer. there's no need to make it so large as to dominate the syscall overhead for large files, because resolv.conf should never be large.
* fix for previous incorrect fix of cancellation in dns lookupsRich Felker2012-02-231-3/+4
| | | | | uninitialized file descriptor was being closed on return, causing stdin to be closed in many cases.
* fix default nameserver when resolv.conf doesn't existRich Felker2012-02-111-1/+2

* fix illegal goto out of cleanup context in dns lookupsRich Felker2012-02-111-3/+3

* make dns lookups (and thus getaddrinfo) cancellableRich Felker2011-09-211-4/+11
|
* use poll rather than select in dns lookups (also clock_gettime)Rich Felker2011-09-211-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | if the file descriptor resource limit has been increased past FD_SETSIZE, this is actually a security issue; we could write past the end of the fd_set object. using poll makes it a non-issue, and simplifies the code at the same time. also, use clock_gettime instead of gettimeofday, for reduced bloat and better entropy.

* fix wrong messages in gai_strerrorRich Felker2011-08-011-0/+2
| | | | i had missed the fact that a couple values were unassigned...
* port numbers should always be interpreted as decimalRich Felker2011-08-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | per POSIX and RFC 3493: If the specified address family is AF_INET, AF_INET6, or AF_UNSPEC, the service can be specified as a string specifying a decimal port number. 021 is a valid decimal number, therefore, interpreting it as octal seems to be non-conformant.
* "implement" getnetbyaddr and getnetbynameRich Felker2011-07-121-0/+12
| | | | | these are useless legacy functions but some old software contains cruft that expects them to exist...
* res_search symbol, aliased to res_query for now (better than nothing)Rich Felker2011-06-301-0/+3

* dns lookups: protect against cancellation and fix incorrect error codesRich Felker2011-04-181-4/+10
|
* overhaul pthread cancellationRich Felker2011-04-176-28/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free. the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state. these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point. x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
* optimize ntohl etc. in terms of bswap functionsRich Felker2011-04-124-20/+12
| | | | | | | we can do this without violating the namespace now that they are macros/inline functions rather than extern functions. the motivation is that gcc was generating giant, slow, horrible code for the old functions, and now generates a single byte-swapping instruction.
* workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linuxRich Felker2011-04-082-0/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | POSIX clearly specifies the type of msg_iovlen and msg_controllen, and Linux ignores it and makes them both size_t instead. to work around this we add padding (instead of just using the wrong types like glibc does), but we also need to patch-up the struct before passing it to the kernel in case the caller did not zero-fill it. if i could trust the kernel to just ignore the upper 32 bits, this would not be necessary, but i don't think it will ignore them...
* fix ipv6 address printing: 2001 appeared as 201, etc.Rich Felker2011-04-081-3/+5

* fix broken dns response parsing code that made most ipv6 lookups failRich Felker2011-04-081-4/+6
|
* return the requested string as the "canonical name" for numeric addressesRich Felker2011-04-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | previously NULL was returned in ai_canonname, resulting in crashes in some callers. this behavior was incorrect. note however that the new behavior differs from glibc, which performs reverse dns lookups. POSIX is very clear that a reverse DNS lookup must not be performed for numeric addresses.
* fix uninitialized variables in dns lookup codeRich Felker2011-04-071-2/+2

* fix all implicit conversion between signed/unsigned pointersRich Felker2011-03-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | sadly the C language does not specify any such implicit conversion, so this is not a matter of just fixing warnings (as gcc treats it) but actual errors. i would like to revisit a number of these changes and possibly revise the types used to reduce the number of casts required.
