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.

The old implementation based on hsearch_r used an ad-hoc C string
encoding and produced an incorrect format on the wire for domain
names which contained bytes which needed escaping when printed.
This commit switches to ns_name_pton for the wire format conversion
(now that we have separate tests for it) and uses a tsearch tree
with a suitable comparison function to locate compression targets.
The previous implementation of the TEST_COMPARE macro would fail
to compile code like this:
int ret = res_send (query, sizeof (query), buf, sizeof (buf));
TEST_COMPARE (ret,
sizeof (query)
+ 2 /* Compression reference. */
+ 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 /* Type, class, TTL, RDATA length. */
+ 1 /* Pascal-style string length. */
+ strlen (expected_name));
This resulted in a failed static assertion, "integer conversions
may alter sign of operands". A user of the TEST_COMPARE would have
to add a cast to fix this.
This patch reverts to the original proposed solution of a run-time
check, making TEST_COMPARE usable for comparisons of numbers with
types with different signedness in more contexts.
This adds system call wrappers for pkey_alloc, pkey_free, pkey_mprotect,
and x86-64 implementations of pkey_get and pkey_set, which abstract over
the PKRU CPU register and hide the actual number of memory protection
keys supported by the CPU. pkey_mprotect with a -1 key is implemented
using mprotect, so it will work even if the kernel does not support the
pkey_mprotect system call.
The system call wrapers use unsigned int instead of unsigned long for
parameters, so that no special treatment for x32 is needed. The flags
argument is currently unused, and the access rights bit mask is limited
to two bits by the current PKRU register layout anyway.

The requirement to write "deny" to /proc/<pid>/setgroups for a given user
namespace before being able to write a gid mapping was introduced in Linux
3.19. Before that this requirement including the file did not exist.
So don't fail when errno == ENOENT.
System defaults vary, and a mere unshare (CLONE_NEWNS) (which is part of
support_become_root) is no longer sufficient.

server_thread_udp_process_one already takes care of calling sendto()
instead of xsendto to be able to ignore the case where the client has
closed the socket. Depending on the TCP/IP stack behavior, this error
could be notified later through recvfrom(), so we need to ignore it
there too.
* support/resolv_test.c (server_thread_udp_process_one): Call recvfrom
instead of xrecvfrom, and ignore ECONNREFUSED errors.
Without this fix, the rwlock can fail to execute the explicit hand-over
in certain cases (e.g., empty critical sections that switch quickly between
read and write phases). This can then lead to errors in how __wrphase_futex
is accessed, which in turn can lead to deadlocks.
This patch adds an option to test to add small command line option
through CMDLINE_OPTSTRING define. For instance:
#define CMDLINE_OPTSTRING "vd"
static void
cmdline_process_function (int c)
{
switch (c):
'v':
/* process '-v' option. */
break;
'd':
/* process '-d' option. */
break;
}
#define CMDLINE_PROCESS cmdline_process_function
It will add both '-v' and '-d' along with already default long options.
* support/support_test_main.c (support_test_main): Use optstring
member for option string in getopt_long.
* support/test-driver.c: Add comment about CMDLINE_OPTSTRING.

* support/test-driver.h (test_config): Add optstring member.
Current allocate_stack logic for create stacks is to first mmap all
the required memory with the desirable memory and then mprotect the
guard area with PROT_NONE if required. Although it works as expected,
it pessimizes the allocation because it requires the kernel to actually
increase commit charge (it counts against the available physical/swap
memory available for the system).
The only issue is to actually check this change since side-effects are
really Linux specific and to actually account them it would require a
kernel specific tests to parse the system wide information. On the kernel
I checked /proc/self/statm does not show any meaningful difference for
vmm and/or rss before and after thread creation. I could only see
really meaningful information checking on system wide /proc/meminfo
between thread creation: MemFree, MemAvailable, and Committed_AS shows
large difference without the patch. I think trying to use these
kind of information on a testcase is fragile.
The BZ#18988 reports shows that the commit pages are easily seen with
mlockall (MCL_FUTURE) (with lock all pages that become mapped in the
process) however a more straighfoward testcase shows that pthread_create
could be faster using this patch:

the thread creation latency. As for the simple benchtests, I saw

change.

Previously, the implementation would conditionally exit based on the
status argument, which GCC did not know about. This leads to
false uninitialized variable warnings when data is accessed after a
TEST_VERIFY_EXIT failure (from code which would never execute).
This is intended as a type-safe alternative to obstacks and
hand-written realloc constructs. The implementation avoids
writing function pointers to the heap.
The address family splitting via format_ai_family made unpredictable
the place where the canonname field was printed. This commit adjusts
the implementation so that the ai_flags is checked for consistency
across the list, and ai_canonname must only be present on the first
list element.
Tests for AI_CANONNAME are added to resolv/tst-resolv-basic.
Otherwise, another user might recreate these files after the first
deletion. Particularly with temporary directories, this could result
in the removal of unintended files through symbol link attacks.
This is required to remove temporary directories which contain
temporary files. Previously, FIFO order meant that directory
removal was attempted when the directory still contained files,
which meant that temporary directory cleanup was essentially
unsupported.
sys/socket.h includes sys/uio.h to get the definition of the iovec
structure.
POSIX allows sys/socket.h to make all sys/uio.h symbols visible.
However, all of sys/uio.h is XSI-shaded, so for non-XSI POSIX this
results in conformtest failures (for sys/socket.h and other headers
that include it):
Namespace violation: "UIO_MAXIOV"
Namespace violation: "readv"
Namespace violation: "writev"
Now, there is some ambiguity in POSIX about what namespace
reservations apply in this case - see
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1127 - but glibc convention
would still avoid declaring readv and writev, for example, for feature
test macros that don't include them (if only headers from the relevant
standard are included), even if such declarations are permitted, so
there is a bug here according to glibc conventions.
This patch moves the struct iovec definition to a new
bits/types/struct_iovec.h header and includes that from sys/socket.h
instead of including the whole of sys/uio.h. This fixes the namespace
issue; however, three files in glibc that were relying on the implicit
inclusion needed to be updated to include sys/uio.h explicitly. So
there is a question of whether sys/socket.h should continue to include
sys/uio.h under some conditions, such as __USE_XOPEN or __USE_MISC or
__USE_XOPEN || __USE_MISC, for greater compatibility with code that
(wrongly) expects this optional inclusion to be present there. (I
think the three affected files in glibc should still have explicit
sys/uio.h inclusions added in any case, however.)
Tested for x86_64.
