ash: allow execution of busybox-w32 binary without extension

2026-02-25T09:33:36+00:00

If the busybox-w32 binary didn't have an extension the shell was unable to spawn itself: $ ls -l busybox -rwxrwxr-x 1 rmy rmy 661006 Feb 25 09:37 busybox $ ./busybox sh $ ls sh: unable to spawn shell This happened because the shell used spawnve() from the C runtime to execute itself. Microsoft insists on trying to add an extension to the name of the binary unless it has an explicit '.' as its last character. Use the internal spawnveq() instead, as it handles various quirks like the above. Adds 16-32 bytes. (GitHub issue #566)

libbb: add generic "fd polling and I/O" loop, use it in telnetd

2026-02-21T15:54:35+00:00

We do it, badly, in many places. Better to use one robust implementation. Can be buggy yet. Initial use is in a rather old, rarely used tech: telnet. The I/O in telnetd should be fully non-blocking now, including pty delays handling. Several bugs in telnetd handling of IACs are fixed. function old new delta ioloop_run - 411 +411 net_to_pty__have_data_to_write - 368 +368 pty_to_net__write - 318 +318 net_to_pty__write - 180 +180 pty_to_net__read - 171 +171 net_to_pty__have_buffer_to_read_into - 164 +164 pty_to_net__have_buffer_to_read_into - 90 +90 net_to_pty__read - 87 +87 pty_to_net__have_data_to_write - 59 +59 make_new_session 491 550 +59 conn_close_fds - 52 +52 accept_conn__accept - 49 +49 conn_close_fds_remove_and_free - 27 +27 ioloop_remove_conn - 22 +22 remove_and_free_to_pty - 19 +19 ioloop_insert_conn - 10 +10 accept_conn__can_accept - 6 +6 accept_conn__return_zero - 3 +3 static.ayt_response - 2 +2 handle_sigchld 59 61 +2 free_session 130 - -130 telnetd_main 1797 367 -1430 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 19/1 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 2099/-1560) Total: 539 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko
