This matches what is currently in nss/nsswitch.conf. The new ordering
matches what most distributions use in their installed configuration
files.
It is common to add localhost to /etc/hosts because the name does not
exist in the DNS, but is commonly used as a host name.
With the built-in "dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files" default, dns is
searched first and provides an answer for "localhost" (NXDOMAIN).
We never look at the files database as a result, so the contents of
/etc/hosts is ignored. This means that "getent hosts localhost"
fail without a /etc/nsswitch.conf file, even though the host name
is listed in /etc/hosts.

The glibc internal NSS functions should always load NSS modules from
the system. For testing purpose, disable DT_RUNPATH on NSS tests so
that the glibc internal NSS functions can load testing NSS modules
via DT_RPATH.

When a local resolver like unbound is listening on the IPv4 loopback
address 127.0.0.1, the nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long test fails. This is
due to:
- the default resolver in the absence of resolv.conf being 127.0.0.1
- the default DNS NSS database configuration in the absence of
nsswitch.conf being 'hosts: dns [!UNAVAIL=return] file'
This causes the requests for 'test4' and 'test6' to first be sent to the
local resolver, which responds with NXDOMAIN in the likely case those
records do no exist. In turn that causes the access to /etc/hosts to be
skipped, which is the purpose of that test.
Fix that by providing a simple nsswitch.conf file forcing access to
/etc/hosts for that test. I have tested that the only changed result in
the testsuite is that test.
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:

Sometimes the test nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long is failing as getent
fails with exit-code 2.
This happens if tst-reload1 was run just before this test:
make t=nss/tst-reload1 test
make t=nss/tst-nss-files-hosts-long test
Then the test fails as /etc/nsswitch.conf contains "hosts: test2"
and the hosts are not searched in /etc/hosts at all.

has run.

This change continues the improvements to compile-time out of bounds
checking by decorating more APIs with either attribute access, or by
explicitly providing the array bound in APIs such as tmpnam() that
expect arrays of some minimum size as arguments. (The latter feature
is new in GCC 11.)
The only effects of the attribute and/or the array bound is to check
and diagnose calls to the functions that fail to provide a sufficient
number of elements, and the definitions of the functions that access
elements outside the specified bounds. (There is no interplay with
_FORTIFY_SOURCE here yet.)
Tested with GCC 7 through 11 on x86_64-linux.
__nss_database_lookup2's extra arguments were left unused in the
nsswitch reloading patch set; this broke compat (default config
ignored) and shadow files (secondary name ignored) which relies on
these fallbacks.
This patch adds in the previous behavior by correcting the
initialization of the database list to reflect the fallbacks. This
means that the nss_database_lookup2 interface no longer needs to be
passed the fallback info, so API and callers were adjusted.
Since all callers needed to be edited anyway, the calls were changed
from __nss_database_lookup2 to the faster __nss_database_get. This
was an intended optimization which was deferred during the initial
lookup changes to avoid touching so many files.
The test case verifies that compat targets work (passwd) and that the
default configuration works (group). Tested on x86-64.
The glibc 2.33 release enabled /etc/nsswitch.conf reloading,
and to prevent potential security issues like CVE-2019-14271
the re-loading of nsswitch.conf and all mdoules was disabled
when the root filesystem changes (see bug 27077).
Unfortunately php-lpfm and openldap both require the ability
to continue to load NSS modules after chroot. The packages
do not exec after the chroot, and so do not cause the
protections to be reset. The only solution is to re-enable
only NSS module loading (not nsswitch.conf reloading) and so
get back the previous glibc behaviour.
In the future we may introduce a way to harden applications
so they do not reload NSS modules once the root filesystem
changes, or that only files/dns are available pre-loaded
(or builtin).

Before the change nss_database_check_reload_and_get() did not populate

int main() {

This provides the struct nss_module type, which combines the old

statically allocating space for all function pointers.
struct nss_module is fairly large (536 bytes), but it will be
shared across NSS databases. The old known_function handling
had non-some per-function overhead (at least 32 bytes per looked-up
function, but more for long function anmes), so overall, this is not
too bad. Resolving all functions at load time simplifies locking,
and the repeated lookups should be fast because the caches are hot

this means that *always* libnsl is only built as shared library for

This compatibility is kept only for architectures and ABIs that have

Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support
IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>.
This change does not affect libnss_compat which does not depended
on libnsl since 2.27 and thus can be used without NIS.
libnsl code depends on Sun RPC, e.g. on --enable-obsolete-rpc (installed
libnsl headers use installed Sun RPC headers), which will be removed in
the following commit.
The interface has hard-coded buffer sizes and is therefore tied to
DES. It also does not match current practice where different
services on the same host use different key material.
This change simplifies removal of the sunrpc code.
During cleanup, before returning from get*_r functions, the end*ent
calls must not change errno. Otherwise, an ERANGE error from the
underlying implementation can be hidden, causing unexpected lookup
failures. This commit introduces an internal_end*ent_noerror
function which saves and restore errno, and marks the original
internal_end*ent function as warn_unused_result, so that it is used
only in contexts were errors from it can be handled explicitly.
