* fix fd leak in tmpfile when the fdopen operation failsRich Felker2014-06-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | this condition could only happen due to malloc failure. the fdopen operation is also moved to take place after the unlink to minimize the window during which a link to the file exists in the directory table.
* support linux kernel apis (new archs) with old syscalls removedRich Felker2014-05-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | such archs are expected to omit definitions of the SYS_* macros for syscalls their kernels lack from arch/$ARCH/bits/syscall.h. the preprocessor is then able to select the an appropriate implementation for affected functions. two basic strategies are used on a case-by-case basis: where the old syscalls correspond to deprecated library-level functions, the deprecated functions have been converted to wrappers for the modern function, and the modern function has fallback code (omitted at the preprocessor level on new archs) to make use of the old syscalls if the new syscall fails with ENOSYS. this also improves functionality on older kernels and eliminates the incentive to program with deprecated library-level functions for the sake of compatibility with older kernels. in other situations where the old syscalls correspond to library-level functions which are not deprecated but merely lack some new features, such as the *at functions, the old syscalls are still used on archs which support them. this may change at some point in the future if or when fallback code is added to the new functions to make them usable (possibly with reduced functionality) on old kernels.
* overhaul tmpfile, tmpnam, and tempnam functionsRich Felker2014-05-271-4/+4
| | | | | | | these all now use the shared __randname function internally, rather than duplicating logic for producing a random name. incorrect usage of the access syscall (which works with real uid/gid, not effective) has been removed, along with unnecessary heavy dependencies like snprintf.
* support kernels with no SYS_open syscall, only SYS_openatRich Felker2014-05-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | open is handled specially because it is used from so many places, in so many variants (2 or 3 arguments, setting errno or not, and cancellable or not). trying to do it as a function would not only increase bloat, but would also risk subtle breakage. this is the first step towards supporting "new" archs where linux lacks "old" syscalls.
* debloat: use __syscall instead of syscall where possibleRich Felker2011-04-171-1/+1
| | | | | | don't waste time (and significant code size due to function call overhead!) setting errno when the result of a syscall does not matter or when it can't fail.
* make tmpfile slightly more efficient (use unlink syscall instead of remove)Rich Felker2011-04-141-1/+1
