2015-09-24avoid reading uninitialized memory in __map_fileSzabolcs Nagy1-2/+3
The value of *size is not relevant in case of failure, but it's better not to copy garbage from the stack into it. (The compiler cannot see through the syscall, so optimization was not affected by the unspecified value).
2014-05-24support kernels with no SYS_open syscall, only SYS_openatRich Felker1-2/+1
open is handled specially because it is used from so many places, in so many variants (2 or 3 arguments, setting errno or not, and cancellable or not). trying to do it as a function would not only increase bloat, but would also risk subtle breakage. this is the first step towards supporting "new" archs where linux lacks "old" syscalls.
2013-11-08remove O_NOFOLLOW from __map_file used for time zone file loadingRich Felker1-1/+1
it's not clear why I originally wrote O_NOFOLLOW into this; I suspect the reason was with an aim of making the function more general for mapping partially or fully untrusted files provided by the user. however, the timezone code already precludes use of absolute or relative pathnames in suid/sgid programs, and disallows .. in pathnames which are relative to one of the system timezone locations, so there is no threat of opening a symlink which is not trusted by appropriate user. since some users may wish to put symbolic links in the zoneinfo directories to alias timezones, it seems preferable to allow this.
2013-07-17fix fd leak in file mapping code used in new zoneinfo supportRich Felker1-1/+1
2013-07-17the big time handling overhaulRich Felker1-0/+20
this commit has two major user-visible parts: zoneinfo-format time zones are now supported, and overflow handling is intended to be complete in the sense that all functions return a correct result if and only if the result fits in the destination type, and otherwise return an error. also, some noticable bugs in the way DST detection and normalization worked have been fixed, and performance may be better than before, but it has not been tested.
