2018-10-22don't omit setting errno in internal __map_file functionRich Felker1-2/+2
a caller needs the reason for open (or fstat, albeit unlikely) failure if it's going to make decisions about continuing a path search or similar.
2018-09-12overhaul internally-public declarations using wrapper headersRich Felker1-2/+0
commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers, allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are "internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc. rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of wrapping the corresponding public headers. parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they correspond to. along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means source files will no longer need to include any special headers to access these features. over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.
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.
