2011-04-05alternate name for syslog.hRich Felker1-0/+1
2011-04-05uncomment IP_PKTINFORich Felker2-2/+2
this was a hack leftover from testing before the initial check-in to git.
2011-04-05support the nonstandard err.h interfacesRich Felker2-0/+84
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.
2011-04-05release notes for next bugfix releaseRich Felker1-0/+14
2011-04-05fix misaligned read on early string termination in strchrRich Felker1-1/+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 Felker1-2/+2
2011-04-05fix various floating point rounding and formatting errors in *printfRich Felker1-17/+25
2011-04-04release notes for 0.7.6 bugfix releasev0.7.6Rich Felker1-0/+24
2011-04-04fix rare but nasty under-allocation bug in malloc with large requestsRich Felker1-1/+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 Felker1-5/+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 Felker2-0/+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 Felker2-15/+5
2011-04-03make ualarm actually work (obsolete function removed from SUS)Rich Felker1-4/+9
2011-04-03fix various bugs in strtold:Rich Felker1-10/+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 Felker1-9/+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.
2011-04-03prototype getdtablesize (nonstandard function)Rich Felker1-0/+1
2011-04-03add setresuid/setresgid functions (nonstandard)Rich Felker3-0/+22
2011-04-03pthread_create need not set errnoRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-04-03fix statvfs syscalls (missing size argument)Rich Felker3-3/+3
2011-04-03block all signals during rsyscallRich Felker1-4/+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 Felker1-1/+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 Felker1-3/+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.
2011-04-03timer threads should sleep and stay asleep... a long timeRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-04-03revert to deleting kernel-level timer from cancellation handlerRich Felker2-7/+11
this is necessary in order to avoid breaking timer_getoverrun in the last run of the timer event handler, if it has not yet finished.
2011-04-03simplify calling of timer signal handlerRich Felker3-12/+6
2011-04-03d_fileno alias for d_ino in direntRich Felker1-0/+2
this is nonstandard but since POSIX reserved d_ prefix in dirent.h we might as well define it unconditionally. some programs depend on it.
2011-04-03simplify pthread tsd key handlingRich Felker3-10/+7
2011-04-03omit pthread tsd dtor code if tsd is not usedRich Felker2-14/+24
2011-04-02don't disable seeking after first seek failureRich Felker1-8/+0
this could cause problems if the application uses dup2(fd,fileno(f)) to redirect, and the old fd was not seekable but the new fd is.
2011-04-02apparently fseek should not set the error flag on failed seekRich Felker1-4/+1
2011-04-01update release notesv0.7.5Rich Felker1-1/+2
2011-04-01avoid over-allocation of brk on first mallocRich Felker1-4/+4
if init_malloc returns positive (successful first init), malloc will retry getting a chunk from the free bins rather than expanding the heap again. also pass init_malloc a hint for the size of the initial allocation.
2011-04-01reorganize the __libc structure for threaded performance issuesRich Felker1-6/+6
we want to keep atomically updated fields (locks and thread count) and really anything writable far away from frequently-needed function pointers. stuff some rarely-needed function pointers in between to pad, hopefully up to a cache line boundary.
2011-04-01simplify setting result on thread cancellationRich Felker1-1/+1
2011-04-01use bss instead of mmap for main thread's pthread thread-specific dataRich Felker2-9/+4
this simplifies code and removes a failure case
