      access always computes result with real ids not effective ones, so it
      is not a valid means of determining whether the directory is readable.

      and then use fdopendir rather than opendir to open and read the
      entries.
      
      effort is made here to keep fd_limit behavior the same as before even

      replaced by the application. only if the real internal malloc is
      linked (always the case with dynamic linking) does the real version
      get used.
      
      if malloc was replaced dynamically, as indicated by __malloc_replaced,

      switch to a common calloc implementation · 28f64fa6
      Rich Felker 提交于
      abstractly, calloc is completely malloc-implementation-independent;
      it's malloc followed by memset, or as we do it, a "conditional memset"
      that avoids touching fresh zero pages.
      
      previously, calloc was kept separate for the bump allocator, which can
      always skip memset, and the version of calloc provided with the full
      malloc conditionally skipped the clearing for large direct-mmapped
      allocations. the latter is a moderately attractive optimization, and
      can be added back if needed. however, further consideration to make it
      correct under malloc replacement would be needed.
      
      commit b4b1e103 documented the
      contract for malloc replacement as allowing omission of calloc, and
      indeed that worked for dynamic linking, but for static linking it was
      possible to get the non-clearing definition from the bump allocator;
      if not for that, it would have been a link error trying to pull in
      malloc.o.
      
      the conditional-clearing code for the new common calloc is taken from
      mal0_clear in oldmalloc, but drops the need to access actual page size
      and just uses a fixed value of 4096. this avoids potentially needing
      access to global data for the sake of an optimization that at best
      marginally helps archs with offensively-large page sizes.

      rewrite bump allocator to fix corner cases, decouple from expand_heap · c4694f40
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this affects the bump allocator used when static linking in programs
      that don't need allocation metadata due to not using realloc, free,
      etc.
      
      commit e3bc22f1 refactored the bump
      allocator to share code with __expand_heap, used by malloc, for the
      purpose of fixing the case (mainly nommu) where brk doesn't work.
      however, the geometric growth behavior of __expand_heap is not
      actually well-suited to the bump allocator, and can produce
      significant excessive memory usage. in particular, by repeatedly
      requesting just over the remaining free space in the current
      mmap-allocated area, the total mapped memory will be roughly double
      the nominal usage. and since the main user of the no-brk mmap fallback
      in the bump allocator is nommu, this excessive usage is not just
      virtual address space but physical memory.
      
      in addition, even on systems with brk, having a unified size request
      to __expand_heap without knowing whether the brk or mmap backend would
      get used made it so the brk could be expanded twice as far as needed.
      for example, with malloc(n) and n-1 bytes available before the current
      brk, the brk would be expanded by n bytes rounded up to page size,
      when expansion by just one page would have sufficed.
      
      the new implementation computes request size separately for the cases
      where brk expansion is being attempted vs using mmap, and also
      performs individual mmap of large allocations without moving to a new
      bump area and throwing away the rest of the old one. this greatly
      reduces the need for geometric area size growth and limits the extent
      to which free space at the end of one bump area might be unusable for
      future allocations.
      
      as a bonus, the resulting code size is somewhat smaller than the
      combined old version plus __expand_heap.

      fix unbounded heap expansion race in malloc · 3e16313f
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this has been a longstanding issue reported many times over the years,
      with it becoming increasingly clear that it could be hit in practice.
      under concurrent malloc and free from multiple threads, it's possible
      to hit usage patterns where unbounded amounts of new memory are
      obtained via brk/mmap despite the total nominal usage being small and
      bounded.
      
      the underlying cause is that, as a fundamental consequence of keeping
      locking as fine-grained as possible, the state where free has unbinned
      an already-free chunk to merge it with a newly-freed one, but has not
      yet re-binned the combined chunk, is exposed to other threads. this is
      bad even with small chunks, and leads to suboptimal use of memory, but
      where it really blows up is where the already-freed chunk in question
      is the large free region "at the top of the heap". in this situation,
      other threads momentarily see a state of having almost no free memory,
      and conclude that they need to obtain more.
      
      as far as I can tell there is no fix for this that does not harm
      performance. the fix made here forces all split/merge of free chunks
      to take place under a single lock, which also takes the place of the
      old free_lock, being held at least momentarily at the time of free to
      determine whether there are neighboring free chunks that need merging.
      
      as a consequence, the pretrim, alloc_fwd, and alloc_rev operations no
      longer make sense and are deleted. simplified merging now takes place
      inline in free (__bin_chunk) and realloc.
      
      as commented in the source, holding the split_merge_lock precludes any
      chunk transition from in-use to free state. for the most part, it also
      precludes change to chunk header sizes. however, __memalign may still
      modify the sizes of an in-use chunk to split it into two in-use
      chunks. arguably this should require holding the split_merge_lock, but
      that would necessitate refactoring to expose it externally, which is a
      mess. and it turns out not to be necessary, at least assuming the
      existing sloppy memory model malloc has been using, because if free
      (__bin_chunk) or realloc sees any unsynchronized change to the size,
      it will also see the in-use bit being set, and thereby can't do
      anything with the neighboring chunk that changed size.

      don't use libc.threads_minus_1 as relaxed atomic for skipping locks · e01b5939
      Rich Felker 提交于
      after all but the last thread exits, the next thread to observe
      libc.threads_minus_1==0 and conclude that it can skip locking fails to
      synchronize with any changes to memory that were made by the
      last-exiting thread. this can produce data races.
      
      on some archs, at least x86, memory synchronization is unlikely to be
      a problem; however, with the inline locks in malloc, skipping the lock
      also eliminated the compiler barrier, and caused code that needed to
      re-check chunk in-use bits after obtaining the lock to reuse a stale
      value, possibly from before the process became single-threaded. this
      in turn produced corruption of the heap state.
      
      some uses of libc.threads_minus_1 remain, especially for allocation of
      new TLS in the dynamic linker; otherwise, it could be removed
      entirely. it's made non-volatile to reflect that the remaining
      accesses are only made under lock on the thread list.
      
      instead of libc.threads_minus_1, libc.threaded is now used for
      skipping locks. the difference is that libc.threaded is permanently
      true once an additional thread has been created. this will produce
      some performance regression in processes that are mostly
      single-threaded but occasionally creating threads. in the future it
      may be possible to bring back the full lock-skipping, but more care
      needs to be taken to produce a safe design.

      before it was recognized that transient errors must not be allowed to
      reflect the contents of successful results and must be reported to the

      here, the dns backend for getaddrinfo, when performing a paired query
      for v4 and v6 addresses, accepted results for one address family even
      if the other timed out. (the __res_msend backend does not propagate
      error rcodes back to the caller, but continues to retry until timeout,
      so other error conditions were not actually possible.)
      
      this patch moves the checks to take place before answer parsing, and
      performs them for each answer rather than only the answer to the first
      query. if nxdomain is seen it's assumed to apply to both queries since

      Rich Felker 提交于
      the AD (authenticated data) bit in outgoing dns queries is defined by
      rfc3655 to request that the nameserver report (via the same bit in the
      response) whether the result is authenticated by DNSSEC. while all
      results returned by a DNSSEC conforming nameserver will be either
      authenticated or cryptographically proven to lack DNSSEC protection,
      for some applications it's necessary to be able to distinguish these
      two cases. in particular, conforming and compatible handling of DANE
      (TLSA) records requires enforcing them only in signed zones.
      
      when the AD bit was first defined for queries, there were reports of
      compatibility problems with broken firewalls and nameservers dropping
      queries with it set. these problems are probably a thing of the past,
      and broken nameservers are already unsupported. however, since there
      is no use in the AD bit with the netdb.h interfaces, explicitly clear
      it in the queries they make. this ensures that, even with broken
      setups, the standard functions will work, and at most the res_*
      functions break.

          if (f->rpos[-1] != c) f->rpos[-1] = c
      
      to make it safe to use with non-writable buffers (setup by the

      whenever data was read "through the buffer", the desired character

      rather than testing for the absence of the value, we can test for
      rpos<=buf, indicating that the last character read could not have come

      potentially null (if the FILE is not yet activated for reading at the
      time of the call). in this case, they compute differences between a
      null pointer (f->rpos) and a non-null one (f->buf), resulting in
      undefined behavior.
      
      it's unlikely that any observably wrong behavior occurred in practice,
      at least without LTO, due to limits on what's visible to the compiler
      from translation unit boundaries, but this has not been checked.
      
      fix is simply ensuring that the FILE is activated for read mode before
      entering the main scanf loop, and erroring out early if it can't be.
