the pathnames prefixed with /dev/null/ are guaranteed never to be valid. the previous use of /dev/null alone was mildly dangerous in that bad software might attempt to unlink the name when it found a non-regular file there and create a new file.

internally, other parts of the library assume sizes don't overflow ssize_t and/or ptrdiff_t, and the way this assumption is made valid is by preventing creating of such large objects. malloc already does so, but the check was missing from mmap. this is also a quality of implementation issue: even if the implementation internally could handle such objects, applications could inadvertently invoke undefined behavior by subtracting pointers within an object. it is very difficult to guard against this in applications, so a good implementation should simply ensure that it does not happen.

fstat should not fail under normal circumstances, so this fix is mostly theoretical.

the address of the pointer, rather than the pointer, was being passed. this was probably a copy-and-paste error from corresponding get code.

this seems to have been a simple copy-and-paste error from the code for converting from legacy codepages.

previously, the path string was being used despite being invalid. with this change, empty path file or error reading the path file is treated as an empty path. this is preferable to falling back to a default path, so that attacks to prevent reading of the path file could not result in loading incorrect and possibly dangerous (outdated or mismatching ABI) libraries from. the code to strip the final newline has also been removed; now that newline is accepted as a delimiter, it's harmless to leave it in place.

despite declaring functions that take arguments of type va_list, these headers are not permitted by the c standard to expose the definition of va_list, so an alias for the type must be used. the name __isoc_va_list was chosen to convey that the purpose of this alternate name is for iso c conformance, and to avoid the multitude of names which gcc mangles with its hideous "fixincludes" monstrosity, leading to serious header breakage if these "fixes" are run.

apparently the original commit was never tested properly, since getline was only ever reading one line. the intent was to read the entire file, so use getdelim with the null byte as delimiter as a cheap way to read a whole file into memory.

also move all legacy inet_* functions into a single file to avoid wasting object file and compile time overhead on them. the added functions are legacy interfaces for working with classful ipv4 network addresses. they have no modern usefulness whatsoever, but some programs unconditionally use them anyway, and they're tiny.

based on patch by Strake with minor stylistic changes, and combined into a single file. this patch remained open for a long time due to some question as to whether ether_aton would be better implemented in terms of sscanf, and it's time something was committed, so here it is.

the shgetc api, used internally in scanf and int/float scanning code to handle field width limiting and pushback, was designed assuming that pushback could be achieved via a simple decrement on the file buffer pointer. this only worked by chance for regular FILE streams, due to the linux readv bug workaround in __stdio_read which moves the last requested byte through the buffer rather than directly back to the caller. for unbuffered streams and streams not using __stdio_read but some other underlying read function, the first character read could be completely lost, and replaced by whatever junk happened to be in the unget buffer. to fix this, simply have shgetc, when it performs an underlying read operation on the stream, store the character read at the -1 offset from the read buffer pointer. this is valid even for unbuffered streams, as they have an unget buffer located just below the start of the zero-length buffer. the check to avoid storing the character when it is already there is to handle the possibility of read-only buffers. no application-exposed FILE types are allowed to use read-only buffers, but sscanf and strto* may use them internally when calling functions which use the shgetc api.

issue found and patch provided by Jens Gustedt. after the atomic store to the error code field of the aiocb, the application is permitted to free or reuse the storage, so further access is invalid. instead, use the local copy that was already made.

due to the interface requirement of having the full state contained in a single object of type unsigned int, it is difficult to provide a reasonable-quality implementation; most good PRNGs are immediately ruled out because they need larger state. the old rand_r gave very poor output (very short period) in its lower bits; normally, it's desirable to throw away the low bits (as in rand()) when using a LCG, but this is not possible since the state is only 32 bits and we need 31 bits of output. glibc's rand_r uses the same LCG as musl's, but runs it for 3 iterations and only takes 10-11 bits from each iteration to construct the output value. this partially fixes the period issue, but introduces bias: not all outputs have the same frequency, and many do not appear at all. with such a low period, the bias is likely to be observable. I tried many approaches to "fix" rand_r, and the simplest I found which made it pass the "dieharder" tests was applying this transformation to the output. the "temper" function is taken from mersenne twister, where it seems to have been chosen for some rigorous properties; here, the only formal property I'm using is that it's one-to-one and thus avoids introducing bias. should further deficiencies in rand_r be reported, the obvious "best" solution is applying a 32-bit cryptographic block cipher in CTR mode. I identified several possible ciphers that could be used directly or adapted, but as they would be a lot slower and larger, I do not see a justification for using them unless the current rand_r proves deficient for some real-world use.

arguably CLOCK_MONOTONIC should be redirected to CLOCK_BOOTTIME with a fallback for old kernels that don't support it, since Linux's CLOCK_BOOTTIME semantics seem to match the spirit of the POSIX requirements for CLOCK_MONOTONIC better than Linux's version of CLOCK_MONOTONIC does. however, this is a change that would require further discussion and research, so for now, I'm simply making them all available.

originally it was right on 32-bit archs and wrong on 64-bit, but after recent changes it was wrong everywhere. with this commit, it's now right everywhere.

apparently these features have been in Linux for a while now, so it makes sense to support them. the bit twiddling seems utterly illogical and wasteful, especially the negation, but that's how the kernel folks chose to encode pids/tids into the clock id.

this is a minor fix to increase the period of the obsolete rand_r a bit. an include header in __rand48_step.c is fixed as well.

some applications rely on the low bits of rand() to be reasonably good quality prng, so now it fixed by using the top bits of a 64 bit LCG, this is simple, has small state and passes statistical tests. D.E. Knuth attributes the multiplier to C.E. Haynes in TAOCP Vol2 3.3.4

this commit only covers the byte-based scanf-family functions. the wide functions still lack support for the 'm' modifier.

this brings the wide version of the code into alignment with the byte-based version, in preparation for adding support for the m (malloc) modifier.

the concept here is that %s and %c are essentially special-cases of %[, with some minimal additional special-casing. aside from simplifying the code and reducing the number of complex code-paths that would need changing to make optimizations later, the main purpose of this change is to simplify addition of the 'm' modifier which causes scanf to allocate storage for the string being read.

failure to do so was causing crashes on x86_64 when ctors used SSE, which was first observed when ctors called variadic functions due to the SSE prologue code inserted into every variadic function.

previously we were using an unsigned type on 32-bit systems so that subtraction would be well-defined when it wrapped, but since wrapping is non-conforming anyway (when clock() overflows, it has to return -1) the only use of unsigned would be to buy a little bit more time before overflow. this does not seem worth having the type vary per-arch (which leads to more arch-specific bugs) or disagree with the ABI musl (mostly) follows.
