* disallow creation of objects larger than PTRDIFF_MAX via mmapRich Felker2013-06-271-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | internally, other parts of the library assume sizes don't overflow ssize_t and/or ptrdiff_t, and the way this assumption is made valid is by preventing creating of such large objects. malloc already does so, but the check was missing from mmap. this is also a quality of implementation issue: even if the implementation internally could handle such objects, applications could inadvertently invoke undefined behavior by subtracting pointers within an object. it is very difficult to guard against this in applications, so a good implementation should simply ensure that it does not happen.
* fix syscall argument bug in pthread_getschedparamRich Felker2013-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | the address of the pointer to the sched param, rather than the pointer, was being passed to the kernel.
* fix temp file leak in sem_open on successful creation of new semaphoreRich Felker2013-06-261-2/+2

* fix bug whereby sem_open leaked its own internal slots on failureRich Felker2013-06-261-3/+6
|
* in sem_open, don't leak vm mapping if fstat failsRich Felker2013-06-261-2/+2
| | | | | fstat should not fail under normal circumstances, so this fix is mostly theoretical.
* fix failure of pthread_setschedparam to pass correct param to kernelRich Felker2013-06-261-1/+1
| | | | | the address of the pointer, rather than the pointer, was being passed. this was probably a copy-and-paste error from corresponding get code.
* document in sysconf and unistd.h that per-thread cpu clocks existRich Felker2013-06-261-1/+1

* fix iconv conversion to legacy 8bit codepagesRich Felker2013-06-261-2/+2
| | | | | this seems to have been a simple copy-and-paste error from the code for converting from legacy codepages.
* remove useless conditional before free from dynamic linker path codeRich Felker2013-06-261-1/+1

* fix dynamic linker handling of empty path file or error reading path fileRich Felker2013-06-261-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, the path string was being used despite being invalid. with this change, empty path file or error reading the path file is treated as an empty path. this is preferable to falling back to a default path, so that attacks to prevent reading of the path file could not result in loading incorrect and possibly dangerous (outdated or mismatching ABI) libraries from. the code to strip the final newline has also been removed; now that newline is accepted as a delimiter, it's harmless to leave it in place.
* make newline-delimited dynamic linker path file actually workRich Felker2013-06-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | apparently the original commit was never tested properly, since getline was only ever reading one line. the intent was to read the entire file, so use getdelim with the null byte as delimiter as a cheap way to read a whole file into memory.
* implement inet_lnaof, inet_netof, and inet_makeaddrRich Felker2013-06-255-39/+55
| | | | | | | | | also move all legacy inet_* functions into a single file to avoid wasting object file and compile time overhead on them. the added functions are legacy interfaces for working with classful ipv4 network addresses. they have no modern usefulness whatsoever, but some programs unconditionally use them anyway, and they're tiny.
* add ether_aton[_r] and ether_ntoa[_r] functionsRich Felker2013-06-251-0/+43
| | | | | | | based on patch by Strake with minor stylistic changes, and combined into a single file. this patch remained open for a long time due to some question as to whether ether_aton would be better implemented in terms of sscanf, and it's time something was committed, so here it is.
* fix scanf %c conversion wrongly storing a terminating null byteRich Felker2013-06-222-4/+8
| | | | | this seems to have been a regression from the refactoring which added the 'm' modifier.
* fix major scanf breakage with unbuffered streams, fmemopen, etc.Rich Felker2013-06-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the shgetc api, used internally in scanf and int/float scanning code to handle field width limiting and pushback, was designed assuming that pushback could be achieved via a simple decrement on the file buffer pointer. this only worked by chance for regular FILE streams, due to the linux readv bug workaround in __stdio_read which moves the last requested byte through the buffer rather than directly back to the caller. for unbuffered streams and streams not using __stdio_read but some other underlying read function, the first character read could be completely lost, and replaced by whatever junk happened to be in the unget buffer. to fix this, simply have shgetc, when it performs an underlying read operation on the stream, store the character read at the -1 offset from the read buffer pointer. this is valid even for unbuffered streams, as they have an unget buffer located just below the start of the zero-length buffer. the check to avoid storing the character when it is already there is to handle the possibility of read-only buffers. no application-exposed FILE types are allowed to use read-only buffers, but sscanf and strto* may use them internally when calling functions which use the shgetc api.
* fix invalid access in aio notificationRich Felker2013-06-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | issue found and patch provided by Jens Gustedt. after the atomic store to the error code field of the aiocb, the application is permitted to free or reuse the storage, so further access is invalid. instead, use the local copy that was already made.

* improve the quality of output from rand_rRich Felker2013-06-121-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | due to the interface requirement of having the full state contained in a single object of type unsigned int, it is difficult to provide a reasonable-quality implementation; most good PRNGs are immediately ruled out because they need larger state. the old rand_r gave very poor output (very short period) in its lower bits; normally, it's desirable to throw away the low bits (as in rand()) when using a LCG, but this is not possible since the state is only 32 bits and we need 31 bits of output. glibc's rand_r uses the same LCG as musl's, but runs it for 3 iterations and only takes 10-11 bits from each iteration to construct the output value. this partially fixes the period issue, but introduces bias: not all outputs have the same frequency, and many do not appear at all. with such a low period, the bias is likely to be observable. I tried many approaches to "fix" rand_r, and the simplest I found which made it pass the "dieharder" tests was applying this transformation to the output. the "temper" function is taken from mersenne twister, where it seems to have been chosen for some rigorous properties; here, the only formal property I'm using is that it's one-to-one and thus avoids introducing bias. should further deficiencies in rand_r be reported, the obvious "best" solution is applying a 32-bit cryptographic block cipher in CTR mode. I identified several possible ciphers that could be used directly or adapted, but as they would be a lot slower and larger, I do not see a justification for using them unless the current rand_r proves deficient for some real-world use.
* support cputime clocks for processes/threads other than selfRich Felker2013-06-082-3/+7
| | | | | | | apparently these features have been in Linux for a while now, so it makes sense to support them. the bit twiddling seems utterly illogical and wasteful, especially the negation, but that's how the kernel folks chose to encode pids/tids into the clock id.
* prng: make rand_r have 2^32 period instead of 2^31Szabolcs Nagy2013-06-082-2/+2
| | | | | this is a minor fix to increase the period of the obsolete rand_r a bit. an include header in __rand48_step.c is fixed as well.
* prng: fix rand() to give good sequence with small stateSzabolcs Nagy2013-06-081-2/+4
| | | | | | | some applications rely on the low bits of rand() to be reasonably good quality prng, so now it fixed by using the top bits of a 64 bit LCG, this is simple, has small state and passes statistical tests. D.E. Knuth attributes the multiplier to C.E. Haynes in TAOCP Vol2 3.3.4
* implement 'm' modifier for wide scanf variantsRich Felker2013-06-061-7/+40
|
* implement the 'm' (malloc) modifier for scanfRich Felker2013-06-051-22/+48
| | | | | this commit only covers the byte-based scanf-family functions. the wide functions still lack support for the 'm' modifier.
* refactor wide-char scanf string handlingRich Felker2013-06-051-55/+32
| | | | | | this brings the wide version of the code into alignment with the byte-based version, in preparation for adding support for the m (malloc) modifier.
* simplify some logic in scanf and remove redundant invalid-format checkRich Felker2013-06-041-18/+8
|
* refactor scanf core to use common code path for all string formatsRich Felker2013-06-041-85/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | the concept here is that %s and %c are essentially special-cases of %[, with some minimal additional special-casing. aside from simplifying the code and reducing the number of complex code-paths that would need changing to make optimizations later, the main purpose of this change is to simplify addition of the 'm' modifier which causes scanf to allocate storage for the string being read.

* | fix overflow behavior of clock() functionRich Felker2013-05-231-7/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per Austin Group interpretation for issue #686, which cites the requirements of ISO C, clock() cannot wrap. if the result is not representable, it must return (clock_t)-1. in addition, the old code was performing wrapping via signed overflow and thus invoking undefined behavior. since it seems impossible to accurately check for overflow with the old times()-based fallback code, I have simply dropped the fallback code for now, thus always returning -1 on ancient systems. if there's a demand for making it work and somebody comes up with a way, it could be reinstated, but the clock() function is essentially useless on 32-bit system anyway (it overflows in less than an hour). it should be noted that I used LONG_MAX rather than ULONG_MAX, despite 32-bit archs using an unsigned type for clock_t. this discrepency with the glibc/LSB type definitions will be fixed now; since wrapping of clock_t is no longer supported, there's no use in it being unsigned.
* math: add fma TODO comments about the underflow issueSzabolcs Nagy2013-05-193-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | The underflow exception is not raised correctly in some cornercases (see previous fma commit), added comments with examples for fmaf, fmal and non-x86 fma. In fmaf store the result before returning so it has the correct precision when FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0
* math: fix two fma issues (only affects non-nearest rounding mode, x86)Szabolcs Nagy2013-05-191-4/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) in downward rounding fma(1,1,-1) should be -0 but it was 0 with gcc, the code was correct but gcc does not support FENV_ACCESS ON so it used common subexpression elimination where it shouldn't have. now volatile memory access is used as a barrier after fesetround. 2) in directed rounding modes there is no double rounding issue so the complicated adjustments done for nearest rounding mode are not needed. the only exception to this rule is raising the underflow flag: assume "small" is an exactly representible subnormal value in double precision and "verysmall" is a much smaller value so that (long double)(small plus verysmall) == small then (double)(small plus verysmall) raises underflow because the result is an inexact subnormal, but (double)(long double)(small plus verysmall) does not because small is not a subnormal in long double precision and it is exact in double precision. now this problem is fixed by checking inexact using fenv when the result is subnormal

* | make err.h functions print __prognameRich Felker2013-05-181-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | patch by Strake. previously is was not feasible to duplicate this functionality of the functions these were modeled on, since argv[0] was not saved at program startup, but now that it's available it's easy to use.
* fix mknod and mknodat to accept large dev_t valuesRich Felker2013-05-162-5/+2
| | | | | | | | support for these was recently added to sysmacros.h. note that the syscall argument is a long, despite dev_t being 64-bit, so on 32-bit archs the high bits will be lost. it appears the high bits are just glibc silliness and not part of the kernel api, anyway, but it's nice that we have them there for future expansion if needed.
* math: use double_t for temporaries to avoid stores on i386Szabolcs Nagy2013-05-1521-28/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 (only i386 with x87 fp) the excess precision of an expression must be removed in an assignment. (gcc needs -fexcess-precision=standard or -std=c99 for this) This is done by extra load/store instructions which adds code bloat when lot of temporaries are used and it makes the result less precise in many cases. Using double_t and float_t avoids these issues on i386 and it makes no difference on other archs. For now only a few functions are modified where the excess precision is clearly beneficial (mostly polynomial evaluations with temporaries). object size differences on i386, gcc-4.8: old new __cosdf.o 123 95 __cos.o 199 169 __sindf.o 131 95 __sin.o 225 203 __tandf.o 207 151 __tan.o 605 499 erff.o 1470 1416 erf.o 1703 1649 j0f.o 1779 1745 j0.o 2308 2274 j1f.o 1602 1568 j1.o 2286 2252 tgamma.o 1431 1424 math/*.o 64164 63635
* fix incorrect clock tick scaling in fallback case of clock()Rich Felker2013-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | since CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000 (required by XSI) and the times syscall reports values in 1/100 second units (Linux), the correct scaling factor is 10000, not 100. note that only ancient kernels which lack clock_gettime are affected.
* do not interpret errors in return value of times() syscallRich Felker2013-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | all return values are valid, and on 32-bit systems, values that look like errors can and will occur. since the only actual error this function could return is EFAULT, and it is only returnable when the application has invoked undefined behavior, simply ignore the possibility that the return value is actually an error code.
* transition to using functions for internal signal blocking/restoringRich Felker2013-04-265-12/+57
| | | | | | | | | | there are several reasons for this change. one is getting rid of the repetition of the syscall signature all over the place. another is sharing the constant masks without costly GOT accesses in PIC. the main motivation, however, is accurately representing whether we want to block signals that might be handled by the application, or all signals.
* optimize/debloat raiseRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+2

|
* synccall signal handler need not handle dead threads anymoreRich Felker2013-04-261-9/+0
| | | | | | they have already blocked signals before decrementing the thread count, so the code being removed is unreachable in the case where the thread is no longer counted.
* fix clobbering of signal mask when creating thread with sched attributesRich Felker2013-04-261-1/+1
| | | | this was simply a case of saving the state in the wrong place.
* make last thread's pthread_exit give exit(0) a consistent stateRich Felker2013-04-261-3/+13
| | | | | the previous few commits ended up leaving the thread count and signal mask wrong for atexit handlers and stdio cleanup.
* use atomic decrement rather than cas in pthread_exit thread countRich Felker2013-04-261-4/+1
| | | | | | now that blocking signals prevents any application code from running while the last thread is exiting, the cas logic is no longer needed to prevent decrementing below zero.
* add comments on some of the pthread_exit logicRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+15

* always block signals in pthread_exit before decrementing thread countRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the thread count (1+libc.threads_minus_1) must always be greater than or equal to the number of threads which could have application code running, even in an async-signal-safe sense. there is at least one dangerous race condition if this invariant fails to hold: dlopen could allocate too little TLS for existing threads, and a signal handler running in the exiting thread could claim the allocated TLS for itself (via __tls_get_addr), leaving too little for the other threads it was allocated for and thereby causing out-of-bounds access. there may be other situations where it's dangerous for the thread count to be too low, particularly in the case where only one thread should be left, in which case locking may be omitted. however, all such code paths seem to arise from undefined behavior, since async-signal-unsafe functions are not permitted to be called from a signal handler that interrupts pthread_exit (which is itself async-signal-unsafe). this change may also simplify logic in __synccall and improve the chances of making __synccall async-signal-safe.
* remove explicit locking to prevent __synccall setuid during posix_spawnRich Felker2013-04-261-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for the duration of the vm-sharing clone used by posix_spawn, all signals are blocked in the parent process, including implementation-internal signals. since __synccall cannot do anything until successfully signaling all threads, the fact that signals are blocked automatically yields the necessary safety. aside from debloating and general simplification, part of the motivation for removing the explicit lock is to simplify the synchronization logic of __synccall in hopes that it can be made async-signal-safe, which is needed to make setuid and setgid, which depend on __synccall, conform to the standard. whether this will be possible remains to be seen.
