Various objects in glibc bring in ifaddrs.o (via references to
__netlink_*) and thereby getifaddrs and freeifaddrs, which are not
part of any standard supported by glibc. These should be weak aliases
of __getifaddrs and __freeifaddrs; this patch makes them so.
(The path by which these functions are brought in is Linux-specific,
but it seems less confusing to make all versions of these functions
weak aliases rather than only the Linux-specific versions that
definitely need it.)
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that disassembly of installed shared
libraries is unchanged by this patch).

The netgroups lookup code fails when one of the groups in the search
tree is empty. In such a case it only returns the leaves of the tree
after the blank netgroup. This is because the line parser returns a
NOTFOUND status when the netgroup exists but is empty. The
__getnetgrent_internal implementation needs to be fixed to try
remaining groups if the current group is entry. This patch implements
this fix. Tested on x86_64.
[BZ #17363]
* inet/getnetgrent_r.c (__internal_getnetgrent_r): Try next
group if the current group is empty.
getnetgrent is supposed to return NULL for values that are wildcards
in the (host, user, domain) triplet. This works correctly with nscd
disabled, but with it enabled, it returns a blank ("") instead of a
NULL. This is easily seen with the output of `getent netgroup foonet`
for a netgroup foonet defined as follows in /etc/netgroup:
foonet (,foo,)
The output with nscd disabled is:
foonet ( ,foo,)
while with nscd enabled, it is:
foonet (,foo,)
The extra space with nscd disabled is due to the fact that `getent
netgroup` adds it if the return value from getnetgrent is NULL for
either host or user.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

When compiling with pedantic the following warning is seen:
gcc -Wall -pedantic -O0 -o test test.c
In file included from test.c:3:0:
/path/inet/netinet/in.h:111:21: warning: comma at end of \
enumerator list [-Wpedantic]
IPPROTO_MH = 135, /* IPv6 mobility header. */
^
It is valid C99 to have a trailing comma after the last item in
an enumeration. However it is not valid C90. If possible glibc
attempts to keep all headers C90 + long long without requiring
C99 features. In this case it's easy to fix the headers and it
removes the warning seem with -pedantic.
This change synchronizes the glibc headers with the Linux kernel
headers and arranges to coordinate the definition of structures
already defined the Linux kernel UAPI headers.
It is now safe to include glibc's netinet/in.h or Linux's linux/in6.h
in any order in a userspace application and you will get the same
ABI. The ABI is guaranteed by UAPI and glibc.
The current tftp structure does not work when fortification is enabled.
Starting with gcc-4.5, more size checking was added to trigger these.
Older versions just didn't have enough information, so they returned -1
as the sizes.
First, the tu_stuff field is declared as 1 byte (when it's really an
arbitrary length C string), so attempting to strcpy() with it results
in crashes. This fails with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=1.
Second, even if we change that to [0] (since gcc does not allow flexible
array members in an union), gcc is not smart enough to see that they are
two overlapping flexible arrays (tu_stuff and tu_data), so it will still
trigger an abort with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2. This is because it thinks that
tu_stuff is 0 bytes and tu_data comes after it.
Talking to upstream gcc, they don't seem terribly inclined to fix the
2nd issue, but even if they did, we still have plenty of 4.5 and 4.6
installs that would hit problems.
So, let's re-order with a few more anonymous structs & unions so that
the fields are laid out with a zero-length array always as the last
field. This seems to fix things with gcc-4.6, and the tftp-hpa pkg
continues to build & work.

Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the
netlink interface to read the information every single time. The
problem is that this information can change at any time.
The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through
nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can
be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also
made available to other processes using the shared memory segment
between nscd and those processes.
