https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging
== Justification ==
It is common today for users to rely on centrally-managed user stores for
handling their user accounts. However, much software existing today does
not have an innate understanding of such accounts. Instead, they commonly
rely on membership in known groups for managing access-control (for
example the "wheel" group on Fedora and RHEL systems or the "adm" group
on Debian-derived systems). In the present incarnation of nsswitch, the
only way to have such groups managed by a remote user store such as
FreeIPA or Active Directory would be to manually remove the groups from
/etc/group on the clients so that nsswitch would then move past nss_files
and into the SSSD, nss-ldap or other remote user database.
== Solution ==
With this patch, a new action is introduced for nsswitch:
NSS_ACTION_MERGE. To take advantage of it, one will add [SUCCESS=merge]
between two database entries in the nsswitch.conf file. When a group is
located in the first of the two group entries, processing will continue
on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next entry (and the
group name and GID are an exact match), the member list of the second
entry will be added to the group object to be returned.
== Implementation ==
After each DL_LOOKUP_FN() returns, the next action is checked. If the
function returned NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS and the next action is
NSS_ACTION_MERGE, a copy of the result buffer is saved for the next pass
through the loop. If on this next pass through the loop the database
returns another instance of a group matching both the group name and GID,
the member list is added to the previous list and it is returned as a
single object. If the following database does not contain the same group,
then the original is copied back into the destination buffer.
This patch implements merge functionality only for the group database.
For other databases, there is a default implementation that will return
the EINVAL errno if a merge is requested. The merge functionality can be
implemented for other databases at a later time if such is needed. Each
database must provide a unique implementation of the deep-copy and merge
functions.
If [SUCCESS=merge] is present in nsswitch.conf for a glibc version that
does not support it, glibc will process results up until that operation,
at which time it will return results if it has found them or else will
simply return an error. In practical terms, this ends up behaving like
the remainder of the nsswitch.conf line does not exist.
== Iterators ==
This feature does not modify the iterator functionality from its current
behavior. If getgrnam() or getgrgid() is called, glibc will iterate
through all entries in the `group` line in nsswitch.conf and display the
list of members without attempting to merge them. This is consistent with
the behavior of nss_files where if two separate lines are specified for
the same group in /etc/groups, getgrnam()/getgrgid() will display both.
Clients are already expected to handle this gracefully.
== No Premature Optimizations ==
The following is a list of places that might be eligible for
optimization, but were not overengineered for this initial contribution:
* Any situation where a merge may occur will result in one malloc() of
the same size as the input buffer.
* Any situation where a merge does occur will result in a second
malloc() to hold the list of pointers to member name strings.
* The list of members is simply concatenated together and is not tested
for uniqueness (which is identical to the behavior for nss_files,
which will simply return identical values if they both exist on the
line in the file. This could potentially be optimized to reduce space
usage in the buffer, but it is both complex and computationally
expensive to do so.
== Testing ==
I performed testing by running the getent utility against my newly-built
glibc and configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following entry:
group: group: files [SUCCESS=merge] sss
In /etc/group I included the line:
wheel❌10:sgallagh
I then configured my local SSSD using the id_provider=local to respond
with:
wheel:*:10:localuser,localuser2
I then ran `getent group wheel` against the newly-built glibc in
multiple situations and received the expected output as described
above:
* When SSSD was running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but the daemon was not
running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but nss_sss.so.2 was not
installed on the system.
* When the order of 'sss' and 'files' was reversed.
* All of the above with the [SUCCESS=merge] removed (to ensure no
regressions).
* All of the above with `getent group 10`.
* All of the above with `getent group` with and without
`enumerate=true` set in SSSD.
* All of the above with and without nscd enabled on the system.
This prevents injection of ':' and '\n' into output functions which
use the NSS files database syntax. Critical fields (user/group names
and file system paths) are checked strictly. For backwards
compatibility, the GECOS field is rewritten instead.
The getent program is adjusted to use the put*ent functions in libc,
instead of local copies. This changes the behavior of getent if user
names start with '-' or '+'.
This patch is a revised and updated version of
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html>.
In order to generate overall summaries of the results of all tests in
the glibc testsuite, we need to identify and concatenate the files
with the results of individual tests.
Tomas Dohnalek's patch used $(common-objpfx)*/*.test-result for this.
However, the normal glibc approach is explicit enumeration of the
expected set of files with a given property, rather than all files
matching some pattern like that. Furthermore, we would like to be
able to mark tests as UNRESOLVED if the file with their results is for
some reason missing, and in future we would like to be able to mark
tests as UNSUPPORTED if they are disabled for a particular
configuration (rather than simply having them missing from the list of
tests as at present). Such handling of tests that were not run or did
not record results requires an explicit enumeration of tests.
For the tests following the default makefile rules, $(tests) (and
$(xtests)) provides such an enumeration. Others, however, are added
directly as dependencies of the "tests" and "xtests" makefile
targets. This patch changes the makefiles to put them in variables
tests-special and xtests-special, with appropriate dependencies on the
tests listed there then being added centrally.
Those variables are used in Rules and so need to be set before Rules
is included in a subdirectory makefile, which is often earlier in the
makefile than the dependencies were present before. We previously
discussed the question of where to include Rules; see the question at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-11/msg00798.html>, and a
discussion in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2013-01/msg00337.html> of why
Rules is included early rather than late in subdirectory makefiles.
It was necessary to avoid an indirection through the check-abi target
and get the check-abi-* targets for individual libraries into the
tests-special variable. The intl/ test $(objpfx)tst-gettext.out,
previously built only because of dependencies from other tests, was
also added to tests-special for the same reason.
The entries in tests-special are the full makefile targets, complete
with $(objpfx) and .out. If a future change causes tests to be named
consistently with a .out suffix, this can be changed to include just
the path relative to $(objpfx), without .out.
Tested x86_64, including that the same set of files is generated in
the build directory by a build and testsuite run both before and after
the patch (except for changes to the
elf/tst-null-argv.debug.out.<number> file name), and a build with
run-built-tests=no to verify there aren't any more obvious instances
of the issue Marcus Shawcroft reported with a previous version in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00462.html>.

In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.
