we inherited from TRE regexec code that's utterly wrong with respect
to the integer types it's using. while it doesn't appear that
compilers are producing unsafe output, signed integer overflows seem
to happen, and regexec fails to find matches past offset INT_MAX.
this patch fixes the type of all variables/fields used to store
offsets in the string from int to regoff_t. after the changes, basic
testing showed that regexec can now find matches past 2GB (INT_MAX)
and past 4GB on x86_64, and code generation is unchanged on i386.
most of the possible overflows were already ruled out in practice by
regcomp having already succeeded performing larger allocations.
however at least the num_states*num_tags multiplication can clearly
overflow in practice. for safety, check them all, and use the proper
type, size_t, rather than int.
also improve comments, use calloc in place of malloc+memset, and
remove bogus casts.
this is a clone of the fix to the gethostby*_r functions in
commit fe82bb9b921be34370e6b71a1c6f062c20999ae0. the man pages
document that the getservby*_r functions set this pointer to
NULL if there was an error or if no record was found.
since cpu sets can be dynamically allocated and have variable size,
accessing their contents via ->__bits is not valid; performing pointer
arithmetic outside the range of the size of the declared __bits array
results in undefined beahavior. instead, only use cpu_set_t for
fixed-size cpu set objects (instantiated by the caller) and as an
abstract pointer type for dynamically allocated ones. perform all
accesses simply by casting the abstract pointer type cpuset_t * back
to unsigned long *.
previously, fflush_unlocked was an alias for an internal backend that
was called by fflush, either for its argument or in a loop for each
file if a null pointer was passed. since the logic for the latter was
in the main fflush function, fflush_unlocked crashed when passed a
null pointer, rather than flushing all open files. since
fflush_unlocked is not a standard function and has no specification,
it's not clear whether it should be expected to accept null pointers
like fflush does, but a reasonable argument could be made that it
should.
this patch eliminates the helper function, simplifying fflush, and
makes fflush_unlocked an alias for fflush, which is valid because the
two functions agree in their behavior in all cases where their
behavior is defined (the unlocked version has undefined behavior if
another thread could hold locks).
commit b91cdbe2bc8b626aa04dc6e3e84345accf34e4b1, in fixing another
issue, changed the logic for how alt-form octal adds the leading zero
to adjust the precision rather than using a prefix character. this
wrongly suppressed the zero flag by mimicing an explicit precision
given by the format string. switch back to using a prefix character.
based on bug report and patch by Dmitry V. Levin, but simplified.
this reverts commit 2c1f8fd5da3306fd7c8a2267467e44eb61f12dd4. without
the _Noreturn attribute, the compiler cannot use asserts to perform
reachability/range analysis. this leads to missed optimizations and
spurious warnings.
the original backtrace problem that prompted the removal of _Noreturn
was not clearly documented at the time, but it seems to happen only
when libc was built without -g, which also breaks many other
backtracing cases.
there was a copy paste error that could cause large ulp errors
in atan2l, atanl, asinl and acosl on aarch64, mips64 and mipsn32.
(the implementation is from freebsd fdlibm, but the tail end
of the polynomial was wrong. 128 bit long double functions
are not yet tested so this went undetected.)
linux containers use separate mount namespace so the /proc
symlink might not point to the right device if the fd was
opened in the parent namespace, in this case return ENOENT.
despite sh not generally using register-pair alignment for 64-bit
syscall arguments, there are arch-specific versions of the syscall
entry points for pread and pwrite which include a dummy argument for
alignment before the 64-bit offset argument.
this code was already under #if 0, but could be confusing if a reader
didn't notice that, and it's almost surely full of bugs and/or
inconsistencies with the current code that uses the gethostbyname2_r
backend.
modern compilers (for gcc, versions 4.8 and later) automatically
pre-include <stdc-predef.h> to obtain the values of certain predefined
macros specified by ISO C but which reflect properties of the library
implementation, not just the compiler. provide values indicating that
wchar_t is Unicode-encoded and that Annex F (IEEE floating point) is
supported unless the compiler indicates otherwise.
based on patch by Masanori Ogino.
these changes still do not yield a fully-conforming abort, but they
fix two known issues:
- per POSIX, termination via SIGKILL is not "abnormal", but both ISO C
and POSIX require abort to yield abnormal termination.
- raising SIGKILL fails to do anything to pid 1 in some containers.
now, the trapping instruction produced by a_crash() is expected to
produce abnormal termination, without the risk of invoking a signal
handler since SIGILL and SIGSEGV are blocked, and _Exit, which
contains an infinite loop analogous to the one being removed from
abort itself, is used as a last resort.
this implementation still fails to produce an exit status as if the
process terminated via SIGABRT in cases where SIGABRT is blocked or
ignored, but fixing that is not easy; the obvious pseudo-solutions all
have subtle race conditions where a concurrent fork or exec can expose
incorrect signal state.
commit befa5866ee30d09c0c96e88af2eabff5911342ea performed this change
for struct definitions that did not also involve typedef, but omitted
the latter.
it was changed to EM_OR1K in 200d15479c0bc48471ee7b8e538ce33af990f82e
as that was meant to be the official name, but glibc and the latest
gabi spec still uses the EM_OPENRISC name:
http://www.sco.com/developers/gabi/latest/ch4.eheader.html
binutils defines both macros so we should do the same for backward
compatibility.
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.
