2011-04-13 | add syscall wrapper for flock | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+7 | |
it should be noted that flock does not mix well with standard fcntl locking, but nonetheless some applications will attempt to use flock instead of fcntl if both exist. options to configure or small patches may be needed. debian maintainers have plenty of experience with this unfortunate situation... | |||||
2011-04-13 | fix bug whereby getopt_long allowed mismatch in last char of option name | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-13 | fix typos on RLIM_NLIMITS, remove _GNU_SOURCE test for it | Rich Felker | 1 | -3/+1 | |
RLIM_* is in the reserved namespace for this header | |||||
2011-04-13 | fix and cleanup suseconds_t/timeval stuff (broken on 64-bit) | Rich Felker | 3 | -10/+2 | |
trash in the upper 32 bits was making the kernel sleep forever in select on 64-bit systems. | |||||
2011-04-13 | implement getgrouplist (for initgroups), formerly dummied-outv0.7.8 | Rich Felker | 1 | -4/+16 | |
2011-04-13 | fix prototypes/signature for setgroups, etc. | Rich Felker | 3 | -2/+8 | |
2011-04-13 | fix incorrect GNU sighandler_t typedef | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-13 | implement memrchr (nonstandard) and optimize strrchr in terms of it | Rich Felker | 3 | -4/+16 | |
2011-04-13 | add ptsname_r (nonstandard) and split ptsname (standard) to separate file | Rich Felker | 3 | -11/+17 | |
this eliminates the ugly static buffer in programs that use ptsname_r. | |||||
2011-04-12 | speed up threaded fork | Rich Felker | 1 | -2/+1 | |
after fork, we have a new process and the pid is equal to the tid of the new main thread. there is no need to make two separate syscalls to obtain the same number. | |||||
2011-04-12 | more changes for upcoming 0.7.8 | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+12 | |
2011-04-12 | optimize ntohl etc. in terms of bswap functions | Rich Felker | 4 | -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. | |||||
2011-04-12 | move bswap functions to static inline in byteswap.h | Rich Felker | 3 | -16/+25 | |
2011-04-12 | fix broken bswap_32 | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-12 | utmpx.h is no longer under standards, so expose ut_exit structure | Rich Felker | 1 | -3/+3 | |
2011-04-12 | add some traditional aliases to stat.h | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+6 | |
2011-04-12 | fix printf("%.9g", 1.1) and similar not dropping trailing zeros | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+3 | |
2011-04-12 | add missing rlimit macros | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+8 | |
2011-04-11 | more types cleanup | Rich Felker | 3 | -18/+3 | |
the basic idea is that the only things in alltypes.h should be types that either vary from system to system (in practice, not just in theoretical la-la land - this is the implementation so we choose what constraints we want to impose on ports) or which are needed by multiple system headers. | |||||
2011-04-11 | cleanup types stuff in headers, fix missing u_int*_t in sys/types.h | Rich Felker | 4 | -29/+19 | |
2011-04-11 | fix errno handling in scandir: | Rich Felker | 1 | -2/+1 | |
1. saved errno was not being restored, illegally clearing errno to 0. 2. no need to backup and save errno around free; it will not touch except perhaps when the program has already invoked UB... | |||||
2011-04-11 | fix fputwc return value | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-11 | remove ugly warning-suppression hack from crypt - this invokes UB! | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-11 | update README since we now DO have a mailing list | Rich Felker | 1 | -4/+4 | |
2011-04-10 | add some ugly legacy type names in sys/types.h (u_char etc.) | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+8 | |
2011-04-10 | add legacy BSD-style timer*() macros in sys/time.h | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+10 | |
2011-04-10 | add missing UTIME_* macros in sys/stat.h | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+3 | |
2011-04-10 | add missing float.h macros | Rich Felker | 2 | -0/+6 | |
actually FLT_ROUNDS needs to expand to a static inline function that obtains the current rounding mode and returns it, but that will be added later with fenv.h stuff. | |||||
2011-04-09 | run pthread tsd destructors when a timer thread pretends to exit | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+6 | |
2011-04-09 | greatly improve SIGEV_THREAD timers | Rich Felker | 3 | -15/+21 | |
calling pthread_exit from, or pthread_cancel on, the timer callback thread will no longer destroy the timer. | |||||
2011-04-09 | prepare notes for 0.7.8 release | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+18 | |
2011-04-09 | work around a nasty bug in linux readv syscall | Rich Felker | 1 | -3/+4 | |
according to posix, readv "shall be equivalent to read(), except..." that it places the data into the buffers specified by the iov array. however on linux, when reading from a terminal, each iov element behaves almost like a separate read. this means that if the first iov exactly satisfied the request (e.g. a length-one read of '\n') and the second iov is nonzero length, the syscall will block again after getting the blank line from the terminal until another line is read. simply put, entering a single blank line becomes impossible. the solution, fortunately, is simple. whenever the buffer size is nonzero, reduce the length of the requested read by one byte and let the last byte go through the buffer. this way, readv will already be in the second (and last) iov, and won't re-block on the second iov. | |||||
2011-04-08 | better fix sysconf pthread stack min | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-08 | consistency with pthread stack min in limits.h | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-08 | fix broken sigsetjmp on x86_64 | Rich Felker | 1 | -7/+9 | |
2011-04-08 | workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linux | Rich Felker | 3 | -2/+23 | |
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... | |||||
2011-04-08 | fix ipv6 address printing: 2001 appeared as 201, etc. | Rich Felker | 1 | -3/+5 | |
2011-04-08 | fix broken dns response parsing code that made most ipv6 lookups fail | Rich Felker | 1 | -4/+6 | |
2011-04-08 | return the requested string as the "canonical name" for numeric addresses | Rich Felker | 1 | -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. | |||||
2011-04-07 | fix uninitialized variables in dns lookup code | Rich Felker | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2011-04-07 | fix bug in TRE found by clang (typo && instead of &) | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-07 | fix misplaced *'s in string functions (harmless) | Rich Felker | 3 | -3/+3 | |
2011-04-07 | fix broken unsigned comparison in wcstoumax | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-07 | fix breakage due to converting a return type to size_t in iconv... | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
2011-04-06 | fixed crash in new rsyscall (failure to set sa_flags for signal handler) | Rich Felker | 1 | -0/+2 | |
2011-04-06 | consistency: change all remaining syscalls to use SYS_ rather than __NR_ prefix | Rich Felker | 38 | -40/+40 | |
2011-04-06 | move rsyscall out of pthread_create module | Rich Felker | 10 | -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. | |||||
2011-04-06 | pthread exit stuff: don't bother setting errno when we won't check it. | Rich Felker | 1 | -2/+2 | |
2011-04-06 | fix rsyscall handler: must not clobber errno from signal context | Rich Felker | 1 | -2/+4 | |
2011-04-06 | fix typo in sys/msg.h | Rich Felker | 1 | -1/+1 | |
