      minor compatibility fixes in utmp.h and fixing mismatch with paths.h · 1e2281b8
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      disallow creation of objects larger than PTRDIFF_MAX via mmap · 3cd6f522
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      fix dynamic linker handling of empty path file or error reading path file · 11bc1737
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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      result in loading incorrect and possibly dangerous (outdated or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.

      respect iso c namespace in stdio.h and wchar.h regarding va_list · a3e2f3c2
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      make newline-delimited dynamic linker path file actually work · 8813c956
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      implement inet_lnaof, inet_netof, and inet_makeaddr · e40f48a4
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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

      fix major scanf breakage with unbuffered streams, fmemopen, etc. · c2080450
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      improve the quality of output from rand_r · 20d01d83
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      add clock id macros for a number of new(ish) Linux-specific clocks · 4191d244
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.
