2024-05-18socket: Use may_alias on sockaddr structs (bug 19622)Florian Weimer1-3/+5
This supports common coding patterns. The GCC C front end before version 7 rejects the may_alias attribute on a struct definition if it was not present in a previous forward declaration, so this attribute can only be conditionally applied. This implements the spirit of the change in Austin Group issue 1641.

2023-08-11nscd: Do not rebuild getaddrinfo (bug 30709)Florian Weimer1-9/+0
The nscd daemon caches hosts data from NSS modules verbatim, without filtering protocol families or sorting them (otherwise separate caches would be needed for certain ai_flags combinations). The cache implementation is complete separate from the getaddrinfo code. This means that rebuilding getaddrinfo is not needed. The only function actually used is __bump_nl_timestamp from check_pf.c, and this change moves it into nscd/connections.c. Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu with -fexceptions, built with build-many-glibcs.py. I also backported this patch into a distribution that still supports nscd and verified manually that caching still works. Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>

They are both used by __libc_freeres to free all library malloc allocated resources to help tooling like mtrace or valgrind with memory leak tracking. The current scheme uses assembly markers and linker script entries to consolidate the free routine function pointers in the RELRO segment and to be freed buffers in BSS. This patch changes it to use specific free functions for libc_freeres_ptrs buffers and call the function pointer array directly with call_function_static_weak. It allows the removal of both the internal macros and the linker script sections. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>
2023-02-16C2x strtol binary constant handlingJoseph Myers1-1/+1
C2x adds binary integer constants starting with 0b or 0B, and supports those constants in strtol-family functions when the base passed is 0 or 2. Implement that strtol support for glibc. As discussed at <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-December/120414.html>, this is incompatible with previous C standard versions, in that such an input string starting with 0b or 0B was previously required to be parsed as 0 (with the rest of the string unprocessed). Thus, as proposed there, this patch adds 20 new __isoc23_* functions with appropriate header redirection support. This patch does *not* do anything about scanf %i (which will need 12 new functions per long double variant, so 12, 24 or 36 depending on the glibc configuration), instead leaving that for a future patch. The function names would remain as __isoc23_* even if C2x ends up published in 2024 rather than 2023. Making this change leads to the question of what should happen to internal uses of these functions in glibc and its tests. The header redirection (which applies for _GNU_SOURCE or any other feature test macros enabling C2x features) has the effect of redirecting internal uses but without those uses then ending up at a hidden alias (see the comment in include/stdio.h about interaction with libc_hidden_proto). It seems desirable for the default for internal uses to be the same versions used by normal code using _GNU_SOURCE, so rather than doing anything to disable that redirection, similar macro definitions to those in include/stdio.h are added to the include/ headers for the new functions. Given that the default for uses in glibc is for the redirections to apply, the next question is whether the C2x semantics are correct for all those uses. Uses with the base fixed to 10, 16 or any other value other than 0 or 2 can be ignored. I think this leaves the following internal uses to consider (an important consideration for review of this patch will be both whether this list is complete and whether my conclusions on all entries in it are correct): benchtests/bench-malloc-simple.c benchtests/bench-string.h elf/sotruss-lib.c math/libm-test-support.c nptl/perf.c nscd/nscd_conf.c nss/nss_files/files-parse.c posix/tst-fnmatch.c posix/wordexp.c resolv/inet_addr.c rt/tst-mqueue7.c soft-fp/testit.c stdlib/fmtmsg.c support/support_test_main.c support/test-container.c sysdeps/pthread/tst-mutex10.c I think all of these places are OK with the new semantics, except for resolv/inet_addr.c, where the POSIX semantics of inet_addr do not allow for binary constants; thus, I changed that file (to use __strtoul_internal, whose semantics are unchanged) and added a test for this case. In the case of posix/wordexp.c I think accepting binary constants is OK since POSIX explicitly allows additional forms of shell arithmetic expressions, and in stdlib/fmtmsg.c SEV_LEVEL is not in POSIX so again I think accepting binary constants is OK. Functions such as __strtol_internal, which are only exported for compatibility with old binaries from when those were used in inline functions in headers, have unchanged semantics; the __*_l_internal versions (purely internal to libc and not exported) have a new argument to specify whether to accept binary constants. As well as for the standard functions, the header redirection also applies to the *_l versions (GNU extensions), and to legacy functions such as strtoq, to avoid confusing inconsistency (the *q functions redirect to __isoc23_*ll rather than needing their own __isoc23_* entry points). For the functions that are only declared with _GNU_SOURCE, this means the old versions are no longer available for normal user programs at all. An internal __GLIBC_USE_C2X_STRTOL macro is used to control the redirections in the headers, and cases in glibc that wish to avoid the redirections - the function implementations themselves and the tests of the old versions of the GNU functions - then undefine and redefine that macro to allow the old versions to be accessed. (There would of course be greater complexity should we wish to make any of the old versions into compat symbols / avoid them being defined at all for new glibc ABIs.) strtol_l.c has some similarity to strtol.c in gnulib, but has already diverged some way (and isn't listed at all at https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/SharedSourceFiles unlike strtoll.c and strtoul.c); I haven't made any attempts at gnulib compatibility in the changes to that file. I note incidentally that inttypes.h and wchar.h are missing the __nonnull present on declarations of this family of functions in stdlib.h; I didn't make any changes in that regard for the new declarations added.
2023-02-06Replace rawmemchr (s, '\0') with strchrWilco Dijkstra1-3/+3
Almost all uses of rawmemchr find the end of a string. Since most targets use a generic implementation, replacing it with strchr is better since that is optimized by compilers into strlen (s) + s.

2022-12-19Avoid use of atoi in some places in libcJoseph Myers1-1/+1
This patch is split out of <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2022-December/144122.html>. atoi has undefined behavior on out-of-range input, which makes it problematic to use anywhere in glibc that might be processing input out-of-range for atoi but not specified to produce undefined behavior for the function calling atoi. Change some uses of atoi to call strtol instead; this avoids the undefined behavior, though there is no guarantee that the overflow handling of strtol is really right in those places either. This also serves to avoid localplt test failures given an installed header redirection for strtol (which means that the call from the inline atoi implementation doesn't end up at a hidden alias from libc_hidden_proto). Certainly, the use of atoi is questionable in argp-help.c (shared with gnulib, so shouldn't depend on glibc implementation details, and processing user-provided input), and maybe also in argp-parse.c (I'm not sure what that code in argp-parse.c is meant to be used for). I also changed inet/rexec.c and resolv/res_init.c similarly to use strtol to avoid such localplt failures, although given those files (in those versions) are only used in glibc it's not problematic for them to rely on the specific behavior of glibc's atoi on out-of-range input (in the absence of compiler optimizations based on the undefined behavior) in the same way it's problematic for gnulib code to do so. There may be other uses of atoi (or atol or atoll), in any of glibc's installed code, for which it would also be appropriate to avoid the undefined behavior on out-of-range input; this patch only fixes the specific cases needed to avoid localplt failures. Tested for x86_64.

2022-10-18Use PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE unconditionally in C sourcesFlorian Weimer1-6/+0
In the future, this will result in a compilation failure if the macros are unexpectedly undefined (due to header inclusion ordering or header inclusion missing altogether). Assembler sources are more difficult to convert. In many cases, they are hand-optimized for the mangling and no-mangling variants, which is why they are not converted. sysdeps/s390/s390-32/__longjmp.c and sysdeps/s390/s390-64/__longjmp.c are special: These are C sources, but most of the implementation is in assembler, so the PTR_DEMANGLE macro has to be undefined in some cases, to match the assembler style.

This allows us to define a generic no-op version of PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE. In the future, we can use PTR_MANGLE and PTR_DEMANGLE unconditionally in C sources, avoiding an unintended loss of hardening due to missing include files or unlucky header inclusion ordering. In i386 and x86_64, we can avoid a <tls.h> dependency in the C code by using the computed constant from <tcb-offsets.h>. <sysdep.h> no longer includes these definitions, so there is no cyclic dependency anymore when computing the <tcb-offsets.h> constants.

2021-09-03Remove "Contributed by" linesSiddhesh Poyarekar44-44/+0
We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012 in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect reality in those cases. Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by, etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a courtesy to the earlier developers. The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be of any use in future given that this is a one time task: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

2021-07-19resolv: Deprecate legacy interfaces in libresolvFlorian Weimer1-1/+2
Debugging interfaces: p_*, fp_*, and sym_* could conceivably be used to produce debug out, but these functions have not been updated to parse more resource records, so they are not very useful today. Likewise for ns_sprintrr and ns_sprintrrf. ns_format_ttl and ns_parse_ttl are related to these. Internal implementation details: res_isourserver is probably only useful in the implementation of a stub resolver, and so is res_nameinquery. Unclear semantics and bad performance: ns_samedomain, ns_subdomain, ns_makecanon, ns_samename do textual converions & copies instead of checking equivalence of the wire format. inet_neta cannot handle IPv6 addresses. res_hostalias has been superseded by getaddrinfo with AI_CANONNAME. hostalias is not thread-safe. Some functions have int as size arguments instead of size_t, so they do not follow current coding practices.
