2011-04-08better fix sysconf pthread stack minRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-08consistency with pthread stack min in limits.hRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-08fix broken sigsetjmp on x86_64Rich Felker-7/+9
2011-04-08workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linuxRich Felker-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...
2011-04-08fix ipv6 address printing: 2001 appeared as 201, etc.Rich Felker-3/+5
2011-04-08fix broken dns response parsing code that made most ipv6 lookups failRich Felker-4/+6
2011-04-08return the requested string as the "canonical name" for numeric addressesRich Felker-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.
2011-04-07fix uninitialized variables in dns lookup codeRich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-07fix bug in TRE found by clang (typo && instead of &)Rich Felker-1/+1

2011-04-06fixed crash in new rsyscall (failure to set sa_flags for signal handler)Rich Felker-0/+2
2011-04-06consistency: change all remaining syscalls to use SYS_ rather than __NR_ prefixRich Felker-40/+40
2011-04-06move rsyscall out of pthread_create moduleRich Felker-109/+133
this is something of a tradeoff, as now set*id() functions, rather than pthread_create, are what pull in the code overhead for dealing with linux's refusal to implement proper POSIX thread-vs-process semantics. my motivations are: 1. it's cleaner this way, especially cleaner to optimize out the rsyscall locking overhead from pthread_create when it's not needed. 2. it's expected that only a tiny number of core system programs will ever use set*id() functions, whereas many programs may want to use threads, and making thread overhead tiny is an incentive for "light" programs to try threads.
2011-04-06pthread exit stuff: don't bother setting errno when we won't check it.Rich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-06fix rsyscall handler: must not clobber errno from signal contextRich Felker-2/+4
2011-04-06add startup abi functions, dummy for now. eventually needed for c++ support.Rich Felker-0/+10
2011-04-06add _res (__res_state()) dummyRich Felker-0/+9
2011-04-06fix prototype for strsepRich Felker-0/+1
2011-04-06fix completely bogus loop condition in getmntent_rRich Felker-1/+1
somehow this worked on my simple fstab, but horribly broke in general, leading to use of uninitialized offset array and crashes.
2011-04-06major semaphore improvements (performance and correctness)Rich Felker-21/+37
1. make sem_[timed]wait interruptible by signals, per POSIX 2. keep a waiter count in order to avoid unnecessary futex wake syscalls
2011-04-06fix signal-based timers with null sigevent argumentRich Felker-28/+19
since timer_create is no longer allocating a structure for the timer_t and simply using the kernel timer id, it was impossible to specify the timer_t as the argument to the signal handler. the solution is to pass the null sigevent pointer on to the kernel, rather than filling it in userspace, so that the kernel does the right thing. however, that precludes the clever timerid-versus-threadid encoding we were doing. instead, just assume timerids are below 1M and thread pointers are above 1M. (in perspective: timerids are sequentially allocated and seem limited to 32k, and thread pointers are at roughly 3G.)
2011-04-06fix incorrect (and conflicting on LP64 archs) types for sysv ipc msgq functionsRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-05fix (hopefully) statvfs breakage on x86_64 that resulted from fixing i386...Rich Felker-2/+10
2011-04-05new framework to inhibit thread cancellation when neededRich Felker-5/+17
with these small changes, libc functions which need to call functions which are cancellation points, but which themselves must not be cancellation points, can use the CANCELPT_INHIBIT and CANCELPT_RESUME macros to temporarily inhibit all cancellation.
2011-04-05add sysv ipc message queues (completely untested)Rich Felker-0/+58
2011-04-05implement the adjtime and adjtimex functions (nonstandard)Rich Felker-0/+34
2011-04-05add getmntent_r interface (all of mntent is nonstandard anyway)Rich Felker-12/+17
2011-04-05implement if_indextoname and if_nametoindex functionsRich Felker-0/+36
2011-04-05add (nonstandard) cfmakeraw functionRich Felker-0/+12
2011-04-05add pivot_root syscall wrapperRich Felker-0/+6
2011-04-05add more legacy functions: setlinebuf and setbufferRich Felker-1/+15
2011-04-05support the nonstandard err.h interfacesRich Felker-0/+60
note that unlike the originals, these do not print the program name/argv[0] because we have not saved it anywhere. this could be changed in __libc_start_main if desired.
2011-04-05fix misaligned read on early string termination in strchrRich Felker-1/+2
this could actually cause rare crashes in the case where a short string is located at the end of a page and the following page is not readable, and in fact this was seen in gcc compiling certain files.
2011-04-05fix overflow in printf %N$ argument handlingRich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-05fix various floating point rounding and formatting errors in *printfRich Felker-17/+25
2011-04-04fix rare but nasty under-allocation bug in malloc with large requestsRich Felker-1/+1
the bug appeared only with requests roughly 2*sizeof(size_t) to 4*sizeof(size_t) bytes smaller than a multiple of the page size, and only for requests large enough to be serviced by mmap instead of the normal heap. it was only ever observed on 64-bit machines but presumably could also affect 32-bit (albeit with a smaller window of opportunity).
2011-04-04simplify vdprintf implementation greatly based on recent vfprintf changesRich Felker-5/+2
since vfprintf will provide a temporary buffer in the case where the target FILE has a zero buffer size, don't bother setting up a real buffer for vdprintf. this also allows us to skip the call to fflush since we know everything will be written out before vfprintf returns.
2011-04-04use a local temp buffer for unbuffered streams in vfprintfRich Felker-0/+14
this change makes it so most calls to fprintf(stderr, ...) will result in a single writev syscall, as opposed to roughly 2*N syscalls (and possibly more) where N is the number of format specifiers. in principle we could use a much larger buffer, but it's best not to increase the stack requirements too much. most messages are under 80 chars.
2011-04-03fix nl_langinfo to actually use the existing, correct internal versionRich Felker-15/+5
2011-04-03make ualarm actually work (obsolete function removed from SUS)Rich Felker-4/+9
2011-04-03fix various bugs in strtold:Rich Felker-10/+13
0e10000000000000000000000000000000 was setting ERANGE exponent char e/p was considered part of the match even if not followed by a valid decimal value "1e +10" was parsed as "1e+10" hex digits were misinterpreted as 0..5 instead of 10..15
2011-04-03fix serious bug in strchr - char signednessRich Felker-9/+11
search for bytes with high bit set was giving (potentially dangerous) wrong results. i've tested, cleaned up, and hopefully sped up this function now.
2011-04-03add setresuid/setresgid functions (nonstandard)Rich Felker-0/+20
2011-04-03pthread_create need not set errnoRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-03fix statvfs syscalls (missing size argument)Rich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-03block all signals during rsyscallRich Felker-4/+9
otherwise a signal handler could see an inconsistent and nonconformant program state where different threads have different uids/gids.
2011-04-03fix race condition in rsyscall handlerRich Felker-1/+1
the problem: there is a (single-instruction) race condition window between a thread flagging itself dead and decrementing itself from the thread count. if it receives the rsyscall signal at this exact moment, the rsyscall caller will never succeed in signalling enough flags to succeed, and will deadlock forever. in previous versions of musl, the about-to-terminate thread masked all signals prior to decrementing the thread count, but this cost a whole syscall just to account for extremely rare races. the solution is a huge hack: rather than blocking in the signal handler if the thread is dead, modify the signal mask of the saved context and return in order to prevent further signal handling by the dead thread. this allows the dead thread to continue decrementing the thread count (if it had not yet done so) and exiting, even while the live part of the program blocks for rsyscall.
2011-04-03don't trust siginfo in rsyscall handlerRich Felker-3/+2
for some inexplicable reason, linux allows the sender of realtime signals to spoof its identity. permission checks for sending signals should limit the impact to same-user processes, but just to be safe, we avoid trusting the siginfo structure and instead simply examine the program state to see if we're in the middle of a legitimate rsyscall.
