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:

libio can only deal with gconv conversions which consist of a single

This eliminates a new GCC 10 warning about subscribing an inner
zero-length array.

The codecvt vtable is not a real vtable because it also contains the
conversion state data. Furthermore, wide stream support was added to
GCC 3.0, after a C++ ABI bump, so there is no compatibility
requirement with libstdc++.
This change removes several unmangled function pointers which could
be used with a corrupted FILE object to redirect execution. (libio
vtable verification did not cover the codecvt vtable.)

GLIBC explicitly allows one to assign a new FILE pointer to stdout and
other standard streams. printf and wprintf were honouring assignment to
stdout and using the new value, but puts, putchar, and wide char variants
did not.
The stdout part is fixed here. The stdin part will be fixed in a followup.
C99 specifies that the EOF condition on a file is "sticky": once EOF
has been encountered, all subsequent reads should continue to return
EOF until the file is closed or something clears the "end-of-file
indicator" (e.g. fseek, clearerr). This is arguably a change from
C89, where the wording was ambiguous; the BSDs always had sticky EOF,
but the System V lineage would attempt to read from the underlying fd
again. GNU libc has followed System V for as long as we've been
using libio, but nowadays C99 conformance and BSD compatibility are
more important than System V compatibility.
You might wonder if changing the _underflow impls is sufficient to
apply the C99 semantics to all of the many stdio functions that
perform input. It should be enough to cover all paths to _IO_SYSREAD,
and the only other functions that call _IO_SYSREAD are the _seekoff
impls, which is OK because seeking clears EOF, and the _xsgetn impls,
which, as far as I can tell, are unused within glibc.
The test programs in this patch use a pseudoterminal to set up the
necessary conditions. To facilitate this I added a new test-support
function that sets up a pair of pty file descriptors for you; it's
almost the same as BSD openpty, the only differences are that it
allocates the optionally-returned tty pathname with malloc, and that
it crashes if anything goes wrong.

Nearly everything in _G_config.h is either junk or more appropriately

* The complete definition of _G_iconv_t has been moved to libio.h and
renamed _IO_iconv_t (all actual users used that name).
* _G_IO_IO_FILE_VERSION is vestigial; some code cares whether
_IO_stdin_used exists, but nothing looks at its value. I've
preserved the value as a hardwired constant in csu/init.c.
This means csu/init.c no longer needs to include anything.
* Many of the headers included by _G_config.h were already being
included directly by either either libio.h or stdio.h; the
remaining ones were moved to libio.h.
* _G_HAVE_MREMAP is still relevant, because mremap genuinely is a
Linux extension; it's not in POSIX and as far as I can tell it's
not available on the Hurd either. I also preserved _G_HAVE_MMAP,
since it's conceivable someone would want to port glibc to a
MMU-less, mmap-less environment in the future. Both are now always
defined to 1/0 as is the current convention, instead of the older
1/undef convention. These are the only symbols still defined in
_G_config.h.
* The actual inclusion of _G_config.h moves from libio.h to libioP.h,
as this is where a potential override of _G_HAVE_MMAP happens.
* The #ifdef logic in libioP.h controlling _IO_JUMPS_OFFSET has been
simplified.
After this patch, the only surviving _G_ symbols are the struct tag
names _G_fpos_t and _G_fpos64_t, which are preserved for the sake of
C++ mangled names in applications, and _G_HAVE_MMAP and _G_HAVE_MREMAP,
which do not seem worth renaming.

Some libio operations fail to correctly free the backup area (created
by _IO_{w}default_pbackfail on unget{w}c) resulting in either invalid
buffer free operations or memory leaks.
For instance, on the example provided by BZ#22415 a following
fputc after a fseek to rewind the stream issues an invalid free on
the buffer. It is because although _IO_file_overflow correctly
(from fputc) correctly calls _IO_free_backup_area, the
_IO_new_file_seekoff (called by fseek) updates the FILE internal
pointers without first free the backup area (resulting in invalid
values in the internal pointers).
The wide version also shows an issue, but instead of accessing invalid
pointers it leaks the backup memory on fseek/fputwc operation.

This commit puts all libio vtables in a dedicated, read-only ELF
section, so that they are consecutive in memory. Before any indirect
jump, the vtable pointer is checked against the section boundaries,
and the process is terminated if the vtable pointer does not fall into
the special ELF section.
To enable backwards compatibility, a special flag variable
(_IO_accept_foreign_vtables), protected by the pointer guard, avoids
process termination if libio stream object constructor functions have
been called earlier. Such constructor functions are called by the GCC
2.95 libstdc++ library, and this mechanism ensures compatibility with
old binaries. Existing callers inside glibc of these functions are
adjusted to call the original functions, not the wrappers which enable
vtable compatiblity.
The compatibility mechanism is used to enable passing FILE * objects
across a static dlopen boundary, too.
Both of "_IO_UNBUFFERED" and "_IO_LINE_BUF" are the bit flags, but I
find there are some codes looks like "_IO_LINE_BUF+_IO_UNBUFFERED",
while some codes are "_IO_LINE_BUF|_IO_UNBUFFERED".
I think the former is not good, even though the final result is same.
POSIX allows applications to switch file handles when a read results
in an end of file. Unset the cached offset at this point so that it
is queried again.
Currently we seek to end of file if there are unflushed writes or the
stream is in write mode, to get the current offset for writing in
append mode, which is the end of file. The latter case (i.e. stream
is in write mode, but no unflushed writes) is unnecessary since it
will only happen when the stream has just been flushed, in which case
the recorded offset ought to be reliable.
Removing that case lets ftell give the correct offset when it follows
an ftruncate. The latter truncates the file, but does not change the
file position, due to which it is permissible to call ftell without an
intervening fseek call.
Tested on x86_64 to verify that the added test case fails without the
patch and succeeds with it, and that there are no additional
regressions due to it.

Prior to the 2.20 release, the function was just changed to fail
unconditionally, in commit a1a6a401ab.
This commit removes the function completely, including gconv bits
which depend on it.
This changes the gconv ABI, which is not a public interface.
The offset computation in write mode uses the fact that _IO_read_end
is kept in sync with the external file offset. This however is not
true when O_APPEND is in effect since switching to write mode ought to
send the external file offset to the end of file without making the
necessary adjustment to _IO_read_end.
Hence in append mode, offset computation when writing should only
consider the effect of unflushed writes, i.e. from _IO_write_base to
_IO_write_ptr.
The wiki has a detailed document that describes the rationale for
offsets returned by ftell in various conditions:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/File%20offsets%20in%20a%20stdio%20stream%20and%20ftell
The ftell implementation was made conservative to ensure that
incorrectly cached offsets never affect it. However, this causes
problems for append mode when a file stream is rewound. Additionally,
the 'clever' trick of using stat to get position for append mode files
caused more problems than it solved and broke old behavior. I have
described the various problems that it caused and then finally the
solution.
For a and a+ mode files, rewinding the stream should result in ftell
returning 0 as the offset, but the stat() trick caused it to
(incorrectly) always return the end of file. Now I couldn't find
anything in POSIX that specifies the stream position after rewind()
for a file opened in 'a' mode, but for 'a+' mode it should be set to
0. For 'a' mode too, it probably makes sense to keep it set to 0 in
the interest of retaining old behavior.
The initial file position for append mode files is implementation
defined, so the implementation could either retain the current file
position or move the position to the end of file. The earlier ftell
implementation would move the offset to end of file for append-only
mode, but retain the old offset for a+ mode. It would also cache the
offset (this detail is important). My patch broke this and would set
the initial position to end of file for both append modes, thus
breaking old behavior. I was ignorant enough to write an incorrect
test case for it too.
The Change:
I have now brought back the behavior of seeking to end of file for
append-only streams, but with a slight difference. I don't cache the
offset though, since we would want ftell to query the current file
position through lseek while the stream is not active. Since the
offset is moved to the end of file, we can rely on the file position
reported by lseek and we don't need to resort to the stat() nonsense.
Finally, the cache is always reliable, except when there are unflished
writes in an append mode stream (i.e. both a and a+). In the latter
case, it is safe to just do an lseek to SEEK_END. The value can be
safely cached too, since the file handle is already active at this
point. Incidentally, this is the only state change we affect in the
file handle (apart from taking locks of course).
I have also updated the test case to correct my impression of the
initial file position for a+ streams to the initial behavior. I have
verified that this does not break any existing tests in the testsuite
and also passes with the new tests.
The cached offset is reliable to use in ftell when the stream handle
is active. We can consider a stream as being active when there is
unflushed data. However, even in this case, we can use the cached
offset only when the stream is not being written to in a+ mode,
because this case may have unflushed data and a stale offset; the
previous read could have sent it off somewhere other than the end of
the file.
There were a couple of adjustments necessary to get this to work.
Firstly, fdopen now ceases to use _IO_attach_fd because it sets the
offset cache to the current file position. This is not correct
because there could be changes to the file descriptor before the
stream handle is activated, which would not get reflected.
A similar offset caching action is done in _IO_fwide, claiming that
wide streams have 'problems' with the file offsets. There don't seem
to be any obvious problems with not having the offset cache available,
other than that it will have to be queried in a subsequent
read/write/seek. I have removed this as well.
The testsuite passes successfully with these changes on x86_64.
ftell semantics are distinct from fseek(SEEK_CUR) especially when it
is called on a file handler that is not yet active. Due to this
caveat, much care needs to be taken while modifying the handler data
and hence, this first iteration on separating out ftell focusses on
maintaining handler data integrity at all times while it figures out
the current stream offset. The result is that it makes a syscall for
every offset request.
There is scope for optimizing this by caching offsets when we know
that the handler is active. A simple way to find out is when the
buffers have data. It is not so simple to find this out when the
buffer is empty without adding some kind of flag.
Partially revert commits 2b766585f9 and
de2fd463b1, which were intended to fix BZ#11741
but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could,
in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and
potentially even write this data to the file.
Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in
stdio-common/vfprintf.c.
In BZ #12724, partial support for POSIX 2008 fclose behavior was added.
Since it isn't entirely conforming to the spec, some applications are
known to be breaking in this intermediate state. So revert the partial
support until we can get things fully implemented.
This reverts commit fcabc0f8b1.
