2015-04-01aarch64: fix definition of sem_nsems in semid_ds structureRich Felker1-1/+7
POSIX requires the sem_nsems member to have type unsigned short. we have to work around the incorrect kernel type using matching endian-specific padding.
2015-04-01aarch64: fix namespace pollution in bits/shm.hSzabolcs Nagy1-2/+2
The shm_info struct is a gnu extension and some of its members do not have shm* prefix. This is worked around in sys/shm.h by macros, but aarch64 didn't use those.
2015-03-29release 1.1.8v1.1.8Rich Felker2-1/+16
2015-03-27regex: fix character class repetitionsSzabolcs Nagy1-0/+5
Internally regcomp needs to copy some iteration nodes before translating the AST into TNFA representation. Literal nodes were not copied correctly: the class type and list of negated class types were not copied so classes were ignored (in the non-negated case an ignored char class caused the literal to match everything). This affects iterations when the upper bound is finite, larger than one or the lower bound is larger than one. So eg. the EREs [[:digit:]]{2} [^[:space:]ab]{1,4} were treated as .{2} [^ab]{1,4} The fix is done with minimal source modification to copy the necessary fields, but the AST preparation and node handling code of tre will need to be cleaned up for clarity.
2015-03-23do not treat \0 as a backref in BRESzabolcs Nagy1-1/+1
The valid BRE backref tokens are \1 .. \9, and 0 is not a special character either so \0 is undefined by the standard. Such undefined escaped characters are treated as literal characters currently, following existing practice, so \0 is the same as 0.
2015-03-23fix FLT_ROUNDS regression in C++ applicationsRich Felker1-0/+8
commit 559de8f5f06da9022cbba70e22e14a710eb74513 redefined FLT_ROUNDS to use an external function that can report the actual current rounding mode, rather than always reporting round-to-nearest. however, float.h did not include 'extern "C"' wrapping for C++, so C++ programs using FLT_ROUNDS ended up with an unresolved reference to a name-mangled C++ function __flt_rounds.
2015-03-23fix internal buffer overrun in inet_ptonRich Felker1-2/+3
one stop condition for parsing abbreviated ipv6 addressed was missed, allowing the internal ip[] buffer to overflow. this patch adds the missing stop condition and masks the array index so that, in case there are any remaining stop conditions missing, overflowing the buffer is not possible.
2015-03-20suppress backref processing in ERE regcompRich Felker1-1/+1
one of the features of ERE is that it's actually a regular language and does not admit expressions which cannot be matched in linear time. introduction of \n backref support into regcomp's ERE parsing was unintentional.
2015-03-20fix memory-corruption in regcomp with backslash followed by high byteRich Felker1-1/+1
the regex parser handles the (undefined) case of an unexpected byte following a backslash as a literal. however, instead of correctly decoding a character, it was treating the byte value itself as a character. this was not only semantically unjustified, but turned out to be dangerous on archs where plain char is signed: bytes in the range 252-255 alias the internal codes -4 through -1 used for special types of literal nodes in the AST.
2015-03-20fix missing max_align_t definition on aarch64Rich Felker1-0/+2

2015-03-18fix MINSIGSTKSZ values for archs with large signal contextsRich Felker11-2/+50
the previous values (2k min and 8k default) were too small for some archs. aarch64 reserves 4k in the signal context for future extensions and requires about 4.5k total, and powerpc reportedly uses over 2k. the new minimums are chosen to fit the saved context and also allow a minimal signal handler to run. since the default (SIGSTKSZ) has always been 6k larger than the minimum, it is also increased to maintain the 6k usable by the signal handler. this happens to be able to store one pathname buffer and should be sufficient for calling any function in libc that doesn't involve conversion between floating point and decimal representations. x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) may also need a larger minimum (around 2.5k) in the future to support avx-512, but the values on these archs are left alone for now pending further analysis. the value for PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is not increased to match MINSIGSTKSZ at this time. this is so as not to preclude applications from using extremely small thread stacks when they know they will not be handling signals. unfortunately cancellation and multi-threaded set*id() use signals as an implementation detail and therefore require a stack large enough for a signal context, so applications which use extremely small thread stacks may still need to avoid using these features.
2015-03-16block all signals (even internal ones) in cancellation signal handlerRich Felker1-1/+2
previously the implementation-internal signal used for multithreaded set*id operations was left unblocked during handling of the cancellation signal. however, on some archs, signal contexts are huge (up to 5k) and the possibility of nested signal handlers drastically increases the minimum stack requirement. since the cancellation signal handler will do its job and return in bounded time before possibly passing execution to application code, there is no need to allow other signals to interrupt it.
2015-03-16update authors/contributors listRich Felker1-0/+8
these additions were made based on scanning commit authors since the last update, at the time of the 1.1.4 release.
2015-03-15avoid sending huge names as nscd passwd/group queriesRich Felker1-2/+3
overly long user/group names are potentially a DoS vector and source of other problems like partial writes by sendmsg, and not useful.
2015-03-15simplify nscd lookup code for alt passwd/group backendsRich Felker4-15/+15
previously, a sentinel value of (FILE *)-1 was used to inform the caller of __nscd_query that nscd is not in use. aside from being an ugly hack, this resulted in duplicate code paths for two logically equivalent cases: no nscd, and "not found" result from nscd. now, __nscd_query simply skips closing the socket and returns a valid FILE pointer when nscd is not in use, and produces a fake "not found" response header. the caller is then responsible for closing the socket just like it would do if it had gotten a real "not found" response.
2015-03-15add alternate backend support for getgrouplistJosiah Worcester3-24/+86
This completes the alternate backend support that was previously added to the getpw* and getgr* functions. Unlike those, though, it unconditionally queries nscd. Any groups from nscd that aren't in the /etc/groups file are added to the returned list, and any that are present in the file are ignored. The purpose of this behavior is to provide a view of the group database consistent with what is observed by the getgr* functions. If group memberships reported by nscd were honored when the corresponding group already has a definition in the /etc/groups file, the user's getgrouplist-based membership in the group would conflict with their non-membership in the reported gr_mem[] for the group. The changes made also make getgrouplist thread-safe and eliminate its clobbering of the global getgrent state.
2015-03-14aarch64: fix typo in bits/ioctl.hSzabolcs Nagy1-1/+1
2015-03-14aarch64: add struct _aarch64_ctx to signal.hSzabolcs Nagy1-0/+17
The unwind code in libgcc uses this type for unwinding across signal handlers. On aarch64 the kernel may place a sequence of structs on the signal stack on top of the ucontext to provide additional information. The unwinder only needs the header, but added all the types the kernel currently defines for this mechanism because they are part of the uapi.
2015-03-12align x32 pthread type sizes to be common with 32-bit archsRich Felker1-4/+4
previously, commit e7b9887e8b65253087ab0b209dc8dd85c9f09614 aligned the sizes with the glibc ABI. subsequent discussion during the merge of the aarch64 port reached a conclusion that we should reject larger arch-specific sizes, which have significant cost and no benefit, and stick with the existing common 32-bit sizes for all 32-bit/ILP32 archs and the x86_64 sizes for 64-bit archs. one peculiarity of this change is that x32 pthread_attr_t is now larger in musl than in the glibc x32 ABI, making it unsafe to call pthread_attr_init from x32 code that was compiled against glibc. with all the ABI issues of x32, it's not clear that ABI compatibility will ever work, but if it's needed, pthread_attr_init and related functions could be modified not to write to the last slot of the object. this is not a regression versus previous releases, since on previous releases the x32 pthread type sizes were all severely oversized already (due to incorrectly using the x86_64 LP64 definitions). moreover, x32 is still considered experimental and not ABI-stable.
2015-03-11add aarch64 portSzabolcs Nagy53-0/+2202
This adds complete aarch64 target support including bigendian subarch. Some of the long double math functions are known to be broken otherwise interfaces should be fully functional, but at this point consider this port experimental. Initial work on this port was done by Sireesh Tripurari and Kevin Bortis.
2015-03-11math: add dummy implementations of 128 bit long double functionsSzabolcs Nagy17-4/+111
This is in preparation for the aarch64 port only to have the long double math symbols available on ld128 platforms. The implementations should be fixed up later once we have proper tests for these functions. Added bigendian handling for ld128 bit manipulations too.
2015-03-11math: add ld128 exp2l based on the freebsd implementationSzabolcs Nagy1-1/+366
Changed the special case handling and bit manipulation to better match the double version.
2015-03-11copy the dtv pointer to the end of the pthread struct for TLS_ABOVE_TP archsSzabolcs Nagy3-4/+5
There are two main abi variants for thread local storage layout: (1) TLS is above the thread pointer at a fixed offset and the pthread struct is below that. So the end of the struct is at known offset. (2) the thread pointer points to the pthread struct and TLS starts below it. So the start of the struct is at known (zero) offset. Assembly code for the dynamic TLSDESC callback needs to access the dynamic thread vector (dtv) pointer which is currently at the front of the pthread struct. So in case of (1) the asm code needs to hard code the offset from the end of the struct which can easily break if the struct changes. This commit adds a copy of the dtv at the end of the struct. New members must not be added after dtv_copy, only before it. The size of the struct is increased a bit, but there is opportunity for size optimizations.
2015-03-07fix regression in pthread_cond_wait with cancellation disabledRich Felker1-0/+1
due to a logic error in the use of masked cancellation mode, pthread_cond_wait did not honor PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE but instead failed with ECANCELED when cancellation was pending.
2015-03-07fix FLT_ROUNDS to reflect the current rounding modeSzabolcs Nagy11-9/+22
Implemented as a wrapper around fegetround introducing a new function to the ABI: __flt_rounds. (fegetround cannot be used directly from float.h)
2015-03-06fix over-alignment of TLS, insufficient builtin TLS on 64-bit archsRich Felker2-4/+16
a conservative estimate of 4*sizeof(size_t) was used as the minimum alignment for thread-local storage, despite the only requirements being alignment suitable for struct pthread and void* (which struct pthread already contains). additional alignment required by the application or libraries is encoded in their headers and is already applied. over-alignment prevented the builtin_tls array from ever being used in dynamic-linked programs on 64-bit archs, thereby requiring allocation at startup even in programs with no TLS of their own.
2015-03-04add legacy functions from sysinfo.h duplicating sysconf functionalityRich Felker1-0/+22
2015-03-04fix signed left-shift overflow in pthread_condattr_setpsharedRich Felker1-1/+1
2015-03-04add new si_lower and si_upper siginfo_t membersSzabolcs Nagy1-0/+7
new in linux v3.19 commit ee1b58d36aa1b5a79eaba11f5c3633c88231da83 used to report intel mpx bound violation information.
2015-03-04declare incomplete type struct itimerspec in timerfd.hRich Felker1-0/+2
normally time.h would provide a definition for this struct, but depending on the feature test macros in use, it may not be exposed, leading to warnings when it's used in the function prototypes.
2015-03-04fix preprocessor error introduced in poll.h in last commitRich Felker1-1/+1
2015-03-04fix POLLWRNORM and POLLWRBAND on mipsTrutz Behn10-0/+8
these macros have the same distinct definition on blackfin, frv, m68k, mips, sparc and xtensa kernels. POLLMSG and POLLRDHUP additionally differ on sparc.
2015-03-04fix x32 pthread type definitionsRich Felker1-7/+7
the previous definitions were copied from x86_64. not only did they fail to match the ABI sizes; they also wrongly encoded an assumption that long/pointer types are twice as large as int.
2015-03-04remove useless check of bin match in mallocRich Felker1-1/+1
this re-check idiom seems to have been copied from the alloc_fwd and alloc_rev functions, which guess a bin based on non-synchronized memory access to adjacent chunk headers then need to confirm, after locking the bin, that the chunk is actually in the bin they locked. the check being removed, however, was being performed on a chunk obtained from the already-locked bin. there is no race to account for here; the check could only fail in the event of corrupt free lists, and even then it would not catch them but simply continue running. since the bin_index function is mildly expensive, it seems preferable to remove the check rather than trying to convert it into a useful consistency check. casual testing shows a 1-5% reduction in run time.
2015-03-04eliminate atomics in syslog setlogmask functionRich Felker1-4/+6
2015-03-04fix init race that could lead to deadlock in malloc init codeRich Felker1-39/+14
the malloc init code provided its own version of pthread_once type logic, including the exact same bug that was fixed in pthread_once in commit 0d0c2f40344640a2a6942dda156509593f51db5d. since this code is called adjacent to expand_heap, which takes a lock, there is no reason to have pthread_once-type initialization. simply moving the init code into the interval where expand_heap already holds its lock on the brk achieves the same result with much less synchronization logic, and allows the buggy code to be eliminated rather than just fixed.
2015-03-03make all objects used with atomic operations volatileRich Felker36-122/+125
the memory model we use internally for atomics permits plain loads of values which may be subject to concurrent modification without requiring that a special load function be used. since a compiler is free to make transformations that alter the number of loads or the way in which loads are performed, the compiler is theoretically free to break this usage. the most obvious concern is with atomic cas constructs: something of the form tmp=*p;a_cas(p,tmp,f(tmp)); could be transformed to a_cas(p,*p,f(*p)); where the latter is intended to show multiple loads of *p whose resulting values might fail to be equal; this would break the atomicity of the whole operation. but even more fundamental breakage is possible. with the changes being made now, objects that may be modified by atomics are modeled as volatile, and the atomic operations performed on them by other threads are modeled as asynchronous stores by hardware which happens to be acting on the request of another thread. such modeling of course does not itself address memory synchronization between cores/cpus, but that aspect was already handled. this all seems less than ideal, but it's the best we can do without mandating a C11 compiler and using the C11 model for atomics. in the case of pthread_once_t, the ABI type of the underlying object is not volatile-qualified. so we are assuming that accessing the object through a volatile-qualified lvalue via casts yields volatile access semantics. the language of the C standard is somewhat unclear on this matter, but this is an assumption the linux kernel also makes, and seems to be the correct interpretation of the standard.
2015-03-02suppress masked cancellation in pthread_joinRich Felker1-1/+5
like close, pthread_join is a resource-deallocation function which is also a cancellation point. the intent of masked cancellation mode is to exempt such functions from failure with ECANCELED.
2015-03-02fix namespace issue in pthread_join affecting thrd_joinRich Felker1-1/+2
pthread_testcancel is not in the ISO C reserved namespace and thus cannot be used here. use the namespace-protected version of the function instead.
2015-03-02make aio_suspend a cancellation point and properly handle cancellationRich Felker1-3/+9
2015-03-02factor cancellation cleanup push/pop out of futex __timedwait functionRich Felker9-26/+24
previously, the __timedwait function was optionally a cancellation point depending on whether it was passed a pointer to a cleaup function and context to register. as of now, only one caller actually used such a cleanup function (and it may face removal soon); most callers either passed a null pointer to disable cancellation or a dummy cleanup function. now, __timedwait is never a cancellation point, and __timedwait_cp is the cancellable version. this makes the intent of the calling code more obvious and avoids ugly dummy functions and long argument lists.
2015-02-27fix failure of internal futex __timedwait to report ECANCELEDRich Felker1-1/+1
as part of abstracting the futex wait, this function suppresses all futex error values which callers should not see using a whitelist approach. when the masked cancellation mode was added, the new ECANCELED error was not whitelisted. this omission caused the new pthread_cond_wait code using masked cancellation to exhibit a spurious wake (rather than acting on cancellation) when the request arrived after blocking on the cond var.
2015-02-26overhaul optimized x86_64 memset asmRich Felker1-26/+55
on most cpu models, "rep stosq" has high overhead that makes it undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 126, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosq" is sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 times slower when the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial. this version is based in part on changes proposed by Denys Vlasenko.
2015-02-26overhaul optimized i386 memset asmRich Felker1-32/+61
on most cpu models, "rep stosl" has high overhead that makes it undesirable for small memset sizes. the new code extends the minimal-branch fast path for short memsets from size 15 up to size 62, and shrink-wraps this code path. in addition, "rep stosl" is very sensitive to misalignment. the cost varies with size and with cpu model, but it has been observed performing 1.5 to 4 times slower when the destination address is not aligned mod 16. the new code thus ensures alignment mod 16, but also preserves any existing additional alignment, in case there are cpu models where it is beneficial. this version is based in part on changes to the x86_64 memset asm proposed by Denys Vlasenko.
2015-02-25getloadavg: use sysinfo() instead of /proc/loadavgAlexander Monakov1-11/+7
Based on a patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
2015-02-23fix possible isatty false positives and unwanted device state changesRich Felker3-9/+8
the equivalent checks for newly opened stdio output streams, used to determine buffering mode, are also fixed. on most archs, the TCGETS ioctl command shares a value with SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE, part of the OSS sound API which was apparently used with certain MIDI and timer devices. for file descriptors referring to such a device, TCGETS will not fail with ENOTTY as expected; it may produce a different error, or may succeed, and if it succeeds it changes the mode of the device. while it's unlikely that such devices are in use, this is in principle very harmful behavior for an operation which is supposed to do nothing but query whether the fd refers to a tty. TIOCGWINSZ, used to query logical window size for a terminal, was chosen as an alternate ioctl to perform the isatty check. it does not share a value with any other ioctl commands, and it succeeds on any tty device. this change also cleans up strace output to be less ugly and misleading.
2015-02-23fix breakage in pthread_cond_wait due to typoRich Felker1-1/+1
due to accidental use of = instead of ==, the error code was always set to zero in the signaled wake case for non-shared cv waits. suppressing ETIMEDOUT (the only possible wait error) is harmless and actually permitted in this case, but suppressing mutex errors could give the caller false information about the state of the mutex. commit 8741ffe625363a553e8f509dc3ca7b071bdbab47 introduced this regression and commit d9da1fb8c592469431c764732d09f7756340190e preserved it when reorganizing the code.
2015-02-23support alternate backends for the passwd and group dbsJosiah Worcester4-2/+390
when we fail to find the entry in the commonly accepted files, we query a server over a Unix domain socket on /var/run/nscd/socket. the protocol used here is compatible with glibc's nscd protocol on most systems (all that use 32-bit numbers for all the protocol fields, which appears to be everything but Alpha).
2015-02-23fix spurious errors in refactored passwd/group codeRich Felker2-2/+2
errno was treated as the error status when the return value of getline was negative, but this condition can simply indicate EOF and is not necessarily an error. the spurious errors caused by this bug masked the bug which was fixed in commit fc5a96c9c8aa186effad7520d5df6b616bbfd29d.
