      remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIG · ccc7b4c3
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the issue at hand is that many syscalls require as an argument the
      kernel-ABI size of sigset_t, intended to allow the kernel to switch to
      a larger sigset_t in the future. previously, each arch was defining
      this size in syscall_arch.h, which was redundant with the definition
      of _NSIG in bits/signal.h. as it's used in some not-quite-portable
      application code as well, _NSIG is much more likely to be recognized
      and understood immediately by someone reading the code, and it's also
      shorter and less cluttered.
      
      note that _NSIG is actually 65/129, not 64/128, but the division takes
      care of throwing away the off-by-one part.

      clean up sloppy nested inclusion from pthread_impl.h · efd4d87a
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this mirrors the stdio_impl.h cleanup. one header which is not
      strictly needed, errno.h, is left in pthread_impl.h, because since
      pthread functions return their error codes rather than using errno,
      nearly every single pthread function needs the errno constants.
      
      in a few places, rather than bringing in string.h to use memset, the
      memset was replaced by direct assignment. this seems to generate much
      better code anyway, and makes many functions which were previously
      non-leaf functions into leaf functions (possibly eliminating a great
      deal of bloat on some platforms where non-leaf functions require ugly
      prologue and/or epilogue).

      support for TLS in dynamic-loaded (dlopen) modules · dcd60371
      Rich Felker 提交于
      unlike other implementations, this one reserves memory for new TLS in
      all pre-existing threads at dlopen-time, and dlopen will fail with no
      resources consumed and no new libraries loaded if memory is not
      available. memory is not immediately distributed to running threads;
      that would be too complex and too costly. instead, assurances are made
      that threads needing the new TLS can obtain it in an async-signal-safe
      way from a buffer belonging to the dynamic linker/new module (via
      atomic fetch-and-add based allocator).
      
      I've re-appropriated the lock that was previously used for __synccall
      (synchronizing set*id() syscalls between threads) as a general
      pthread_create lock. it's a "backwards" rwlock where the "read"
      operation is safe atomic modification of the live thread count, which
      multiple threads can perform at the same time, and the "write"
      operation is making sure the count does not increase during an
      operation that depends on it remaining bounded (__synccall or dlopen).
      in static-linked programs that don't use __synccall, this lock is a
      no-op and has no cost.

      fix (hopefully) all hard-coded 8's for kernel sigset_t size · 2f437040
      Rich Felker 提交于
      some minor changes to how hard-coded sets for thread-related purposes
      are handled were also needed, since the old object sizes were not
      necessarily sufficient. things have gotten a bit ugly in this area,
      and i think a cleanup is in order at some point, but for now the goal
      is just to get the code working on all supported archs including mips,
      which was badly broken by linux rejecting syscalls with the wrong
      sigset_t size.

      remove everything related to forkall · 0c29adfe
      Rich Felker 提交于
      i made a best attempt, but the intended semantics of this function are
      fundamentally contradictory. there is no consistent way to handle
      ownership of locks when forking a multi-threaded process. the code
      could have worked by accident for programs that only used normal
      mutexes and nothing else (since they don't actually store or care
      about their owner), but that's about it. broken-by-design interfaces
      that aren't even in glibc (only solaris) don't belong in musl.

      pthread and synccall cleanup, new __synccall_wait op · 407d9330
      Rich Felker 提交于
      fix up clone signature to match the actual behavior. the new
      __syncall_wait function allows a __synccall callback to wait for other
      threads to continue without returning, so that it can resume action
      after the caller finishes. this interface could be made significantly
      more general/powerful with minimal effort, but i'll wait to do that
      until it's actually useful for something.

      new attempt at making set*id() safe and robust · acb04806
      Rich Felker 提交于
      changing credentials in a multi-threaded program is extremely
      difficult on linux because it requires synchronizing the change
      between all threads, which have their own thread-local credentials on
      the kernel side. this is further complicated by the fact that changing
      the real uid can fail due to exceeding RLIMIT_NPROC, making it
      possible that the syscall will succeed in some threads but fail in
      others.
      
      the old __rsyscall approach being replaced was robust in that it would
      report failure if any one thread failed, but in this case, the program
      would be left in an inconsistent state where individual threads might
      have different uid. (this was not as bad as glibc, which would
      sometimes even fail to report the failure entirely!)
      
      the new approach being committed refuses to change real user id when
      it cannot temporarily set the rlimit to infinity. this is completely
      POSIX conformant since POSIX does not require an implementation to
      allow real-user-id changes for non-privileged processes whatsoever.
      still, setting the real uid can fail due to memory allocation in the
      kernel, but this can only happen if there is not already a cached
      object for the target user. thus, we forcibly serialize the syscalls
      attempts, and fail the entire operation on the first failure. this
      *should* lead to an all-or-nothing success/failure result, but it's
      still fragile and highly dependent on kernel developers not breaking
      things worse than they're already broken.
      
      ideally linux will eventually add a CLONE_USERCRED flag that would
      give POSIX conformant credential changes without any hacks from
      userspace, and all of this code would become redundant and could be
      removed ~10 years down the line when everyone has abandoned the old
      broken kernels. i'm not holding my breath...
