Now that Hurd implementis both close_range and closefrom (f2c996597d),
we can make close_range() a base ABI, and make the default closefrom()
implementation on top of close_range().
The generic closefrom() implementation based on __getdtablesize() is
moved to generic close_range(). On Linux it will be overriden by
the auto-generation syscall while on Hurd it will be a system specific
implementation.
The closefrom() now calls close_range() and __closefrom_fallback().
Since on Hurd close_range() does not fail, __closefrom_fallback() is an
empty static inline function set by__ASSUME_CLOSE_RANGE.
The __ASSUME_CLOSE_RANGE also allows optimize Linux
__closefrom_fallback() implementation when --enable-kernel=5.9 or
higher is used.
Finally the Linux specific tst-close_range.c is moved to io and
enabled as default. The Linuxism and CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE are
guarded so it can be built for Hurd (I have not actually test it).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and with a i686-gnu
build.
In the context of a function definition, the size hints imply that the
size of an object pointed to by one parameter is another parameter.
This doesn't make sense for the fortified versions of the functions
since that's the bit it's trying to validate.
This is harmless with __builtin_object_size since it has fairly simple
semantics when it comes to objects passed as function parameters.
With __builtin_dynamic_object_size we could (as my patchset for gcc[1]
already does) use the access attribute to determine the object size in
the general case but it misleads the fortified functions.
Basically the problem occurs when access attributes are present on
regular functions that have inline fortified definitions to generate
_chk variants; the attributes get inherited by these definitions,
causing problems when analyzing them. For example with poll(fds, nfds,
timeout), nfds is hinted using the __attr_access as being the size of
fds.
Now, when analyzing the inline function definition in bits/poll2.h, the
compiler sees that nfds is the size of fds and tries to use that
information in the function body. In _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 case, where the
object size could be a non-constant expression, this information results
in the conclusion that nfds is the size of fds, which defeats the
purpose of the implementation because we're trying to check here if nfds
does indeed represent the size of fds. Hence for this case, it is best
to not have the access attribute.
With the attributes gone, the expression evaluation should get delayed
until the function is actually inlined into its destinations.
Disable the access attribute for fortified function inline functions
when building at _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 to make this work better. The
access attributes remain for the _chk variants since they can be used
by the compiler to warn when the caller is passing invalid arguments.

There is a GNU extension that allows to call getcwd(NULL, >0). It is
described in the documentation, but also directly in the unistd.h
header, just above the declaration.
Therefore the attribute access mode added in commit 06febd8c67
is not correct. Drop it.
The function closes all open file descriptors greater than or equal to
input argument. Negative values are clamped to 0, i.e, it will close
all file descriptors.
As indicated by the bug report, this is a common symbol provided by
different systems (Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD) and, although
its has inherent issues with not taking in consideration internal libc
file descriptors (such as syslog), this is also a common feature used
in multiple projects [1][2][3][4][5].
The Linux fallback implementation iterates over /proc and close all
file descriptors sequentially. Although it was raised the questioning
whether getdents on /proc/self/fd might return disjointed entries
when file descriptor are closed; it does not seems the case on my
testing on multiple kernel (v4.18, v5.4, v5.9) and the same strategy
is used on different projects [1][2][3][5].
Also, the interface is set a fail-safe meaning that a failure in the
fallback results in a process abort.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.

Austin Group issue 62 [1] dropped the async-signal-safe requirement
for fork and provided a async-signal-safe _Fork replacement that
does not run the atfork handlers. It will be included in the next
POSIX standard.
It allow to close a long standing issue to make fork AS-safe (BZ#4737).
As indicated on the bug, besides the internal lock for the atfork
handlers itself; there is no guarantee that the handlers itself will
not introduce more AS-safe issues.
The idea is synchronize fork with the required internal locks to allow
children in multithread processes to use mostly of standard function
(even though POSIX states only AS-safe function should be used). On
signal handles, _Fork should be used intead and only AS-safe functions
should be used.
For testing, the new tst-_Fork only check basic usage. I also added
a new tst-mallocfork3 which uses the same strategy to check for
deadlock of tst-mallocfork2 but using threads instead of subprocesses
(and it does deadlock if it replaces _Fork with fork).

It operates similar to execve and it is is already used to implement
fexecve without requiring /proc to be mounted. However, different
than fexecve, if the syscall is not supported by the kernel an error
is returned instead of trying a fallback.

This commit adds gettid to <unistd.h> on Linux, and not to the

gettid is now supportable on Linux because too many things assume a

This is a major rewrite of the description of 'crypt', 'getentropy',
and 'getrandom'.
A few highlights of the content changes:
- Throughout the manual, public headers, and user-visible messages,
I replaced the term "password" with "passphrase", the term
"password database" with "user database", and the term
"encrypt(ion)" with "(one-way) hashing" whenever it was applied to
passphrases. I didn't bother making this change in internal code
or tests. The use of the term "password" in ruserpass.c survives,
because that refers to a keyword in netrc files, but it is adjusted
to make this clearer.
There is a note in crypt.texi explaining that they were
traditionally called passwords but single words are not good enough
anymore, and a note in users.texi explaining that actual passphrase
hashes are found in a "shadow" database nowadays.
- There is a new short introduction to the "Cryptographic Functions"
section, explaining how we do not intend to be a general-purpose
cryptography library, and cautioning that there _are_, or have
been, legal restrictions on the use of cryptography in many
countries, without getting into any kind of detail that we can't
promise to keep up to date.
- I added more detail about what a "one-way function" is, and why
they are used to obscure passphrases for storage. I removed the
paragraph saying that systems not connected to a network need no
user authentication, because that's a pretty rare situation
nowadays. (It still says "sometimes it is necessary" to
authenticate the user, though.)
- I added documentation for all of the hash functions that glibc
actually supports, but not for the additional hash functions
supported by libxcrypt. If we're going to keep this manual section
around after the transition is more advanced, it would probably
make sense to add them then.
- There is much more detailed discussion of how to generate a salt,
and the failure behavior for crypt is documented. (Returning an
invalid hash on failure is what libxcrypt does; Solar Designer's
notes say that this was done "for compatibility with old programs
that assume crypt can never fail".)
- As far as I can tell, the header 'crypt.h' is entirely a GNU
invention, and never existed on any other Unix lineage. The
function 'crypt', however, was in Issue 1 of the SVID and is now
in the XSI component of POSIX. I tried to make all of the
@standards annotations consistent with this, but I'm not sure I got
them perfectly right.
- The genpass.c example has been improved to use getentropy instead
of the current time to generate the salt, and to use a SHA-256 hash
instead of MD5. It uses more random bytes than is strictly
necessary because I didn't want to complicate the code with proper
base64 encoding.
- The testpass.c example has three hardwired hashes now, to
demonstrate that different one-way functions produce different
hashes for the same input. It also demonstrates how DES hashing
only pays attention to the first eight characters of the input.
- There is new text explaining in more detail how a CSPRNG differs
from a regular random number generator, and how
getentropy/getrandom are not exactly a CSPRNG. I tried not to make
specific falsifiable claims here. I also tried to make the
blocking/cancellation/error behavior of both getentropy and
getrandom clearer.
The functions encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r, cbc_crypt,
ecb_crypt, and des_setparity should not be used in new programs,
because they use the DES block cipher, which is unacceptably weak by
modern standards. Demote all of them to compatibility symbols, and
remove their prototypes from installed headers. cbc_crypt, ecb_crypt,
and des_setparity were already compat symbols when glibc was
configured with --disable-obsolete-rpc.
POSIX requires encrypt and setkey to be available when _XOPEN_CRYPT
is defined, so this change also removes the definition of X_OPEN_CRYPT
from <unistd.h>.
The entire "DES Encryption" section is dropped from the manual, as is
the mention of AUTH_DES and FIPS 140-2 in the introduction to
crypt.texi. The documentation of 'memfrob' cross-referenced the DES
Encryption section, which is replaced by a hyperlink to libgcrypt, and
while I was in there I spruced up the actual documentation of
'memfrob' and 'strfry' a little. It's still fairly jokey, because
those functions _are_ jokes, but they do also have real use cases, so
people trying to use them for real should have all the information
they need.
DES-based authentication for Sun RPC is also insecure and should be
deprecated or even removed, but maybe that can be left as TI-RPC's
problem.
__need_getopt is misnamed; what it really means is "we want only the
getopt features specified in POSIX, not the GNU extensions". Because
this code is shared with gnulib, it winds up being cleanest to split
getopt.h into *four* headers. getopt_core.h and getopt_ext.h will
be shared with gnulib, getopt_posix.h will be just for glibc, and
each project will have its own copy of getopt.h.
* posix/bits/getopt_core.h, posix/bits/getopt_ext.h:
New files, intended to be shared with gnulib.
* posix/bits/getopt_posix.h:
New file, not intended to be shared with gnulib.
* posix/getopt.h: Now just includes features.h,
bits/getopt_core.h, and bits/getopt_ext.h. Will
no longer be shared with gnulib.
* include/bits/getopt_core.h, include/bits/getopt_ext.h
* include/bits/getopt_posix.h: New wrappers.
* posix/Makefile: Install new headers.
* posix/unistd.h, libio/stdio.h:
Include bits/getopt_posix.h instead of getopt.h.
For many years, the only effect of these macros has been to make
unistd.h declare getlogin_r. _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199506L also causes
this function to be declared. However, people who don't carefully
read all the headers might be confused into thinking they need to
define _REENTRANT for any threaded code (as was indeed the case a long
time ago).
Therefore, remove __USE_REENTRANT, and make _REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE
into synonyms for _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L. This will only affect
programs that don't select a higher conformance level some other way.
For instance, -std=c89 -D_REENTRANT will see a change in visible
declarations, but -std=c99 -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L -D_REENTRANT won't,
and -D_REENTRANT all by itself also won't, because _DEFAULT_SOURCE
implies _POSIX_C_SOURCE > 199506.
* include/features.h: Remove __USE_REENTRANT. Treat _REENTRANT
and _THREAD_SAFE the same as _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L, if a higher
POSIX conformance level has not been selected by other macros.
* NEWS, manual/creature.texi: Document this change.
* posix/unistd.h, posix/bits/unistd.h: Don't check __USE_REENTRANT.
* include/libc-symbols.h: Don't define _REENTRANT.
* scripts/check-installed-headers.sh: Don't undefine _REENTRANT.
UNIX98 and XPG4 have ttyslot in <stdlib.h>. glibc, however, has it in
<unistd.h>, for __USE_MISC || (__USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED && !__USE_UNIX98),
but no supported standard has it in <unistd.h>.
This patch adds a properly conditioned declaration to <stdlib.h> (only
enabled for the relevant standards, not for __USE_MISC or __USE_GNU).
The <unistd.h> declaration is restricted to __USE_MISC. Some relevant
XFAILs are removed.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped
shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).

unistd.h declares gethostname for __USE_UNIX98 || __USE_XOPEN2K. But

* conform/Makefile (test-xfail-UNIX98/unistd.h/conform): Remove

For UNIX98 and older X/Open standards, unistd.h should have a
declaration of the legacy cuserid function, but such a declaration is
missing. This patch adds that missing declaration.

shared libraries are unchanged by the patch).
[BZ #20043]
* posix/unistd.h [__USE_XOPEN && !__USE_XOPEN2K] (cuserid): New
prototype.
My review of conformtest expectations for POSIX showed up that the
_POSIX2_C_VERSION macro, required by POSIX and XPG standards before
2001, was missing in unistd.h, having been removed on 2003-04-03
despite those standards still being supported. This patch adds it
back. As it's in the implementation namespace, there's no need for it
to be conditional, and other such macros aren't conditional in this
header either.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite). Note that this *does* change
the installed libraries, because it affects the sysconf support
(present all along) for _SC_2_C_VERSION.
[BZ #438]
* posix/unistd.h (_POSIX2_C_VERSION): New macro.
* conform/Makefile (test-xfail-POSIX/unistd.h/conform): Remove
variable.
For XPG3/XPG4 (defined __USE_XOPEN && !defined __USE_UNIX98), unistd.h
declares many functions that should only be declared for __USE_MISC
(none of them are in XPG3/XPG4): sethostname sethostid getdomainname
setdomainname vhangup revoke profil acct getusershell endusershell
setusershell daemon. The whole block with the [__USE_MISC ||
(__USE_XOPEN && !__USE_UNIX98)] conditional contains only functions
that are not in XPG3/XPG4, so this patch simply changes the
conditional.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by this patch).
[BZ #17665]
* posix/unistd.h [__USE_MISC || (__USE_XOPEN && !__USE_UNIX98)]:
Change conditional to [__USE_MISC].
This patch cleans up cases of __USE_MISC that are trivially redundant
after the recent substitution of __USE_MISC for __USE_BSD and
__USE_SVID: either in constructs such as "defined __USE_MISC ||
defined __USE_MISC", or else (in the bits/mman.h case) a conditional
on __USE_MISC nested inside another __USE_MISC conditional. (The
cleanups remaining after this patch are still quite large, but it
seems a reasonable piece to separate out.)
Tested x86_64.
* bits/mman.h [__USE_MISC]: Remove redundant conditionals.
* ctype/ctype.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
* dirent/dirent.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
* grp/grp.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
* io/fcntl.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
* io/sys/stat.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.

* string/string.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
* time/time.h [__USE_MISC]: Likewise.
As detailed in PR11157, the use of '__block' is known to interfere
with keywords in some environments, such as the Clang -fblocks extension.
Recently a similar issue was raised concerning the use of '__unused'

namespace for these sorts of issues [1]. This patches takes that
approach.
