When a request needs to be resent (e.g. due to insufficient buffer
space), the references to subsequent tuples in the local variable are
stale and should not be used. This used to work by accident before, but
since 1d495912a it no longer does. Instead of trying to reset it, just
let gethostbyname4_r write into TUMPBUF6 for us, thus maintaining a
consistent state at all times. This is now consistent with what is done
in gaih_inet for getaddrinfo.

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:

__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 function uses the internal service_user type, so it is not
really usable from the outside of glibc. Rename the function
to __nss_database_lookup2 for internal use, and change
__nss_database_lookup to always indicate failure to the caller.
__nss_next already was a compatibility symbol. The new
implementation always fails and no longer calls __nss_next2.
unscd, the alternative nscd implementation, does not use
__nss_database_lookup, so it is not affected by this change.
This functionality was deprecated in glibc 2.25.
This commit only includes the core changes to remove the
functionality. It does not remove the RES_USE_INET6 handling in the
individual NSS service modules and the res_use_inet6 function.
These changes will happen in future commits.
The pre-allocation of the three scratch buffers increased the initial
stack size somewhat, but if retries are needed, the previous version
used more stack space if extend_alloca could not merge allocations.
Lack of alloca accounting also means could be problematic with
extremely large NSS responses, too.
[BZ #18023]
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Use struct scratch_buffer instead
of extend_alloca.
As indicated by BZ#23178, concurrent access on some files read by nscd
may result non expected data send through service requisition. This is
due 'sendfile' Linux implementation where for sockets with zero-copy
support, callers must ensure the transferred portions of the the file
reffered by input file descriptor remain unmodified until the reader
on the other end of socket has consumed the transferred data.
I could not find any explicit documentation stating this behaviour on
Linux kernel documentation. However man-pages sendfile entry [1] states
in NOTES the aforementioned remark. It was initially pushed on man-pages
with an explicit testcase [2] that shows changing the file used in
'sendfile' call prior the socket input data consumption results in
previous data being lost.
From commit message it stated on tested Linux version (3.15) only TCP
socket showed this issues, however on recent kernels (4.4) I noticed the
same behaviour for local sockets as well.
Since sendfile on HURD is a read/write operation and the underlying
issue on Linux, the straightforward fix is just remove sendfile use
altogether. I am really skeptical it is hitting some hotstop (there
are indication over internet that sendfile is helpfull only for large
files, more than 10kb) here to justify that extra code complexity or
to pursuit other possible fix (through memory or file locks for
instance, which I am not sure it is doable).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

struct resolv_context objects provide a temporary resolver context
which does not change during a name lookup operation. Only when the
outmost context is created, the stub resolver configuration is
verified to be current (at present, only against previous res_init
calls). Subsequent attempts to obtain the context will reuse the
result of the initial verification operation.
struct resolv_context can also be extended in the future to store
data which needs to be deallocated during thread cancellation.
Many callers of __res_maybe_init also call _res_hconf_init.
Additional calls to the latter do not hurt because the function
does its work only once. (/etc/hosts.conf is not reloaded or
even checked for changes.) This means that we can simplify the
code by calling _res_hconf_init directly from __res_vinit.
_res_hconf.initialized was not suitable for use in a multi-threaded
environment due to the lack of atomics and memory barriers. Use of it was
also unnecessary because _res_hconf_init did the right thing by using
__libc_once. This patch fixes the glibc-internal uses by just calling
_res_hconf_init unconditionally, and switches to a release MO atomic store
for _res_hconf.initialized to fix the glibc side of the synchronization
problem (which will maintain backward compatibility, but cannot fix the
lack of acquire MO on any glibc-external loads).

* resolv/res_hconf.h: Add comments.
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Call _res_hconf_init unconditionally.

This patch consolidates the code to initialize the header of a dataset
into a single set of functions (one for positive and another for
negative datasets) primarily to reduce repetition of code. The
secondary reason is to simplify Patch 2/2 which fixes the problem of
an uninitialized byte in the header by initializing an unused field in
the structure and hence preventing a possible data leak into the cache
file.
The nscd/*cache.c files contain assert()s, writeall() and sendfileall() calls
that invalidly use together &dataset->resp and total where either dataset or
dataset->head.recsize should be used instead one of the components. In the
writeall() and sendfileall() cases, it is unlikely to matter in practice, but
the assertions can fail sometimes without a proper reason.
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the
corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never
unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if.
I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were
caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken
locking was.
