      change sigset_t functions to restrict to _NSIG · 76fbf6ad
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the idea here is to avoid advertising signals that don't exist and to
      make these functions safe to call (e.g. from within other parts of the
      implementation) on fake sigset_t objects which do not have the HURD
      padding.

      optimize posix_spawn to avoid spurious sigaction syscalls · 3c5c5e6f
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the trick here is that sigaction can track for us which signals have
      ever had a signal handler set for them, and only those signals need to
      be considered for reset. this tracking mask may have false positives,
      since it is impossible to remove bits from it without race conditions.
      false negatives are not possible since the mask is updated with atomic
      operations prior to making the sigaction syscall.
      
      implementation-internal signals are set to SIG_IGN rather than SIG_DFL
      so that a signal raised in the parent (e.g. calling pthread_cancel on
      the thread executing pthread_spawn) does not have any chance make it
      to the child, where it would cause spurious termination by signal.
      
      this change reduces the minimum/typical number of syscalls in the
      child from around 70 to 4 (including execve). this should greatly
      improve the performance of posix_spawn and other interfaces which use
      it (popen and system).
      
      to facilitate these changes, sigismember is also changed to return 0
      rather than -1 for invalid signals, and to return the actual status of
      implementation-internal signals. POSIX allows but does not require an
      error on invalid signal numbers, and in fact returning an error tends
      to confuse applications which wrongly assume the return value of
      sigismember is boolean.

      frame, and there is no reason these signal handlers should run in the

      block signals during fork · d4d6d6f3
      Rich Felker 提交于
      there are several reasons for this. some of them are related to race
      conditions that arise since fork is required to be async-signal-safe:
      if fork or pthread_create is called from a signal handler after the
      fork syscall has returned but before the subsequent userspace code has
      finished, inconsistent state could result. also, there seem to be
      kernel and/or strace bugs related to arrival of signals during fork,
      at least on some versions, and simply blocking signals eliminates the
      possibility of such bugs.

      work around libraries with versioned symbols in dynamic linker · 72482f90
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this commit does not add versioning support; it merely fixes incorrect
      lookups of symbols in libraries that contain versioned symbols.
      previously, the version information was completely ignored, and
      empirically this seems to have resulted in the oldest version being
      chosen, but I am uncertain if that behavior was even reliable.
      
      the new behavior being introduced is to completely ignore symbols
      which are marked "hidden" (this seems to be the confusing nomenclature
      for non-current-version) when versioning is present. this should solve
      all problems related to libraries with symbol versioning as long as
      all binaries involved are up-to-date (compatible with the
      latest-version symbols), and it's the needed behavior for dlsym under
      all circumstances.

      make fcvt decimal point location for zero make more sense · 983acebc
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the (obsolete) standard allows either 0 or 1 for the decimal point
      location in this case, but since the number of zero digits returned in
      the output string (in this implementation) is one more than the number
      of digits the caller requested, it makes sense for the decimal point
      to be logically "after" the first digit. in a sense, this change goes
      with the previous commit which fixed the value of the decimal point
      location for non-zero inputs.

      fix ecvt/fcvt decimal point position output · a0cc022c
      Rich Felker 提交于
      these functions are obsolete and have no modern standard. the text in
      SUSv2 is highly ambiguous, specifying that "negative means to the left
      of the returned digits", which suggested to me that 0 would mean to
      the right of the first digit. however, this does not agree with
      historic practice, and the Linux man pages are more clear, specifying
      that a negative value means "that the decimal point is to the left of
      the start of the string" (in which case, 0 would mean the start of the
      string, in accordance with historic practice).

      iconv support for legacy Korean encodings · 734062b2
      Rich Felker 提交于
      like for other character sets, stateful iso-2022 form is not supported
      yet but everything else should work. all charset aliases are treated
      the same, as Windows codepage 949, because reportedly the EUC-KR
      charset name is in widespread (mis?)usage in email and on the web for
      data which actually uses the extended characters outside the standard
      93x94 grid. this could easily be changed if desired.
      
      the principle of this converter for handling the giant bulk of rare
      Hangul syllables outside of the standard KS X 1001 93x94 grid is the
      same as the GB18030 converter's treatment of non-explicitly-coded
      Unicode codepoints: sequences in the extension range are mapped to an
      integer index N, and the converter explicitly computes the Nth Hangul
      syllable not explicitly encoded in the character map. empirically,
      this requires at most 7 passes over the grid. this approach reduces
      the table size required for Korean legacy encodings from roughly 44k
      to 17k and should have minimal performance impact on real-world text
      conversions since the "slow" characters are rare. where it does have
      impact, the cost is merely a large constant time factor.

      have new timer threads unblock their own SIGTIMER · a7f18a55
      Rich Felker 提交于
      unblocking it in the pthread_once init function is not sufficient,
      since multiple threads, some of them with the signal blocked, could
      already exist before this is called; timers started from such threads
      would be non-functional.

      add system for resetting TLS to initial values · 7c6c2906
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this is needed for reused threads in the SIGEV_THREAD timer
      notification system, and could be reused elsewhere in the future if
      needed, though it should be refactored for such use.
      
      for static linking, __init_tls.c is simply modified to export the TLS
      info in a structure with external linkage, rather than using statics.
      this perhaps makes the code more clear, since the statics were poorly
      named for statics. the new __reset_tls.c is only linked if it is used.
      
      for dynamic linking, the code is in dynlink.c. sharing code with
      __copy_tls is not practical since __reset_tls must also re-zero
      thread-local bss.

      fix multiple bugs in SIGEV_THREAD timers · 7356c255
      Rich Felker 提交于
      1. the thread result field was reused for storing a kernel timer id,
      but would be overwritten if the application code exited or cancelled
      the thread.
      
      2. low pointer values were used as the indicator that the timer id is
      a kernel timer id rather than a thread id. this is not portable, as
      mmap may return low pointers on some conditions. instead, use the fact
      that pointers must be aligned and kernel timer ids must be
      non-negative to map pointers into the negative integer space.
      
      3. signals were not blocked until after the timer thread started, so a
      race condition could allow a signal handler to run in the timer thread
      when it's not supposed to exist. this is mainly problematic if the
      calling thread was the only thread where the signal was unblocked and
      the signal handler assumes it runs in that thread.

      fix faccessat to support AT_EACCESS flag · 0a05eace
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this is another case of the kernel syscall failing to support flags
      where it needs to, leading to horrible workarounds in userspace. this
      time the workaround requires changing uid/gid, and that's not safe to
      do in the current process. in the worst case, kernel resource limits
      might prevent recovering the original values, and then there would be
      no way to safely return. so, use the safe but horribly inefficient
      alternative: forking. clone is used instead of fork to suppress
      signals from the child.
      
      fortunately this worst-case code is only needed when effective and
      real ids mismatch, which mainly happens in suid programs.

      work around linux's lack of flags argument to fchmodat syscall · 0dc48244
      Rich Felker 提交于
      previously, the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag was ignored, giving
      dangerously incorrect behavior -- the target of the symlink had its
      modes changed to the modes (usually 0777) intended for the symlink).
      this issue was amplified by the fact that musl provides lchmod, as a
      wrapper for fchmodat, which some archival programs take as a sign that
      symlink modes are supported and thus attempt to use.
      
      emulating AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW was a difficult problem, and I
      originally believed it could not be solved, at least not without
      depending on kernels newer than 3.5.x or so where O_PATH works halfway
      well. however, it turns out that accessing O_PATH file descriptors via
      their pseudo-symlink entries in /proc/self/fd works much better than
      trying to use the fd directly, and works even on older kernels.
      moreover, the kernel has permanently pegged these references to the
      inode obtained by the O_PATH open, so there should not be race
      conditions with the file being moved, deleted, replaced, etc.
