| 67 | <h1>General questions</h1> | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | <hr /> | ||
| 70 | <h2><a name="getting_started">How can I get started using BusyBox?</a></h2> | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | <p> If you just want to try out busybox without installing it, download the | ||
| 73 | tarball, extract it, run "make defconfig", and then run "make". | ||
| 74 | </p> | ||
| 75 | <p> | ||
| 76 | This will create a busybox binary with almost all features enabled. To try | ||
| 77 | out a busybox applet, type "./busybox [appletname] [options]", for | ||
| 78 | example "./busybox ls -l" or "./busybox cat LICENSE". Type "./busybox" | ||
| 79 | to see a command list, and "busybox appletname --help" to see a brief | ||
| 80 | usage message for a given applet. | ||
| 81 | </p> | ||
| 82 | <p> | ||
| 83 | BusyBox uses the name it was invoked under to determine which applet is | ||
| 84 | being invoked. (Try "mv busybox ls" and then "./ls -l".) Installing | ||
| 85 | busybox consists of creating symlinks (or hardlinks) to the busybox | ||
| 86 | binary for each applet in busybox, and making sure these links are in | ||
| 87 | the shell's command $PATH. The special applet name "busybox" (or with | ||
| 88 | any optional suffix, such as "busybox-static") uses the first argument | ||
| 89 | to determine which applet to run, as shown above. | ||
| 90 | </p> | ||
| 91 | <p> | ||
| 92 | BusyBox also has a feature called the | ||
| 93 | <a name="standalone_shell">"standalone shell"</a>, where the busybox | ||
| 94 | shell runs any built-in applets before checking the command path. This | ||
| 95 | feature is also enabled by "make allyesconfig", and to try it out run | ||
| 96 | the command line "PATH= ./busybox ash". This will blank your command path | ||
| 97 | and run busybox as your command shell, so the only commands it can find | ||
| 98 | (without an explicit path such as /bin/ls) are the built-in busybox ones. | ||
| 99 | This is another good way to see what's built into busybox. | ||
| 100 | Note that the standalone shell requires CONFIG_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH | ||
| 101 | to be set appropriately, depending on whether or not /proc/self/exe is | ||
| 102 | available or not. If you do not have /proc, then point that config option | ||
| 103 | to the location of your busybox binary, usually /bin/busybox. | ||
| 104 | (So if you set it to /proc/self/exe, and happen to be able to chroot into | ||
| 105 | your rootfs, you must mount /proc beforehand.) | ||
| 106 | </p> | ||
| 107 | <p> | ||
| 108 | A typical indication that you set CONFIG_BUSYBOX_EXEC_PATH to proc but | ||
| 109 | forgot to mount proc is: | ||
| 110 | <pre> | ||
| 111 | $ /bin/echo $PATH | ||
| 112 | /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11 | ||
| 113 | $ echo $PATH | ||
| 114 | /bin/sh: echo: not found | ||
| 115 | </pre> | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | <hr /> | ||
| 118 | <h2><a name="configure">How do I configure busybox?</a></h2> | ||
| 119 | |||
| 120 | <p> Busybox is configured similarly to the linux kernel. Create a default | ||
| 121 | configuration and then run "make menuconfig" to modify it. The end | ||
| 122 | result is a .config file that tells the busybox build process what features | ||
| 123 | to include. So instead of "./configure; make; make install" the equivalent | ||
| 124 | busybox build would be "make defconfig; make; make install". | ||
| 125 | </p> | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | <p> Busybox configured with all features enabled is a little under a megabyte | ||
| 128 | dynamically linked on x86. To create a smaller busybox, configure it with | ||
| 129 | fewer features. Individual busybox applets cost anywhere from a few | ||
| 130 | hundred bytes to tens of kilobytes. Disable unneeded applets to save, | ||
| 131 | space, using menuconfig. | ||
| 132 | </p> | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | <p>The most important busybox configurators are:</p> | ||
| 135 | |||
| 136 | <ul> | ||
| 137 | <li><p>make <b>defconfig</b> - Create the maximum "sane" configuration. This | ||
| 138 | enables almost all features, minus things like debugging options and features | ||
| 139 | that require changes to the rest of the system to work (such as selinux or | ||
| 140 | devfs device names). Use this if you want to start from a full-featured | ||
| 141 | busybox and remove features until it's small enough.</p></li> | ||
| 142 | <li><p>make <b>allnoconfig</b> - Disable everything. This creates a tiny version | ||
| 143 | of busybox that doesn't do anything. Start here if you know exactly what | ||
| 144 | you want and would like to select only those features.</p></li> | ||
| 145 | <li><p>make <b>menuconfig</b> - Interactively modify a .config file through a | ||
| 146 | multi-level menu interface. Use this after one of the previous two.</p></li> | ||
| 147 | </ul> | ||
| 148 | |||
| 149 | <p>Some other configuration options are:</p> | ||
| 150 | <ul> | ||
| 151 | <li><p>make <b>oldconfig</b> - Update an old .config file for a newer version | ||
| 152 | of busybox.</p></li> | ||
| 153 | <li><p>make <b>allyesconfig</b> - Select absolutely everything. This creates | ||
| 154 | a statically linked version of busybox full of debug code, with dependencies on | ||
| 155 | selinux, using devfs names... This makes sure everything compiles. Whether | ||
| 156 | or not the result would do anything useful is an open question.</p></li> | ||
| 157 | <li><p>make <b>allbareconfig</b> - Select all applets but disable all sub-features | ||
| 158 | within each applet. More build coverage testing.</p></li> | ||
| 159 | <li><p>make <b>randconfig</b> - Create a random configuration for test purposes.</p></li> | ||
| 160 | </ul> | ||
| 161 | |||
| 162 | <p> Menuconfig modifies your .config file through an interactive menu where you can enable or disable | ||
| 163 | busybox features, and get help about each feature. | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | <p> | ||
| 166 | To build a smaller busybox binary, run "make menuconfig" and disable the | ||
| 167 | features you don't need. (Or run "make allnoconfig" and then use | ||
| 168 | menuconfig to add just the features you need. Don't forget to recompile | ||
| 169 | with "make" once you've finished configuring.) | ||
| 170 | </p> | ||
| 171 | |||
| 172 | <hr /> | ||
| 173 | <h2><a name="build">How do I build BusyBox with a cross-compiler?</a></h2> | ||
| 174 | |||
| 175 | <p> | ||
| 176 | To build busybox with a cross-compiler, specify CROSS_COMPILE=<prefix>. | ||
| 177 | </p> | ||
| 178 | <p> | ||
| 179 | CROSS_COMPILE specifies the prefix used for all executables used | ||
| 180 | during compilation. Only gcc and related binutils executables | ||
| 181 | are prefixed with $(CROSS_COMPILE) in the makefiles. | ||
| 182 | CROSS_COMPILE can be set on the command line: | ||
| 183 | </p> | ||
| 184 | <pre> | ||
| 185 | make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi- | ||
| 186 | </pre> | ||
| 187 | <p> | ||
| 188 | Alternatively CROSS_COMPILE can be set in the environment. | ||
| 189 | Default value for CROSS_COMPILE is not to prefix executables. | ||
| 190 | </p> | ||
| 191 | <p> | ||
| 192 | To store the cross-compiler in your .config, set the variable | ||
| 193 | CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILER_PREFIX accordingly in menuconfig or by | ||
| 194 | editing the .config file. | ||
| 195 | </p> | ||
| 196 | |||
| 197 | <hr /> | ||
| 198 | <h2><a name="build_system">How do I build a BusyBox-based system?</a></h2> | ||
| 199 | |||
| 200 | <p> | ||
| 201 | BusyBox is a package that replaces a dozen standard packages, but it is | ||
| 202 | not by itself a complete bootable system. Building an entire Linux | ||
| 203 | distribution from source is a bit beyond the scope of this FAQ, but it | ||
| 204 | understandably keeps cropping up on the mailing list, so here are some | ||
| 205 | pointers. | ||
| 206 | </p> | ||
| 207 | <p> | ||
| 208 | Start by learning how to strip a working system down to the bare essentials | ||
| 209 | needed to run one or two commands, so you know what it is you actually | ||
| 210 | need. An excellent practical place to do | ||
| 211 | this is the <a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/">Linux | ||
| 212 | BootDisk Howto</a>, or for a more theoretical approach try | ||
| 213 | <a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html">From | ||
| 214 | PowerUp to Bash Prompt</a>. | ||
| 215 | </p> | ||
| 216 | <p> | ||
| 217 | To learn how to build a working Linux system entirely from source code, | ||
| 218 | the place to go is the <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/">Linux | ||
| 219 | From Scratch</a> project. They have an entire book of step-by-step | ||
| 220 | instructions you can | ||
| 221 | <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable/">read online</a> | ||
| 222 | or | ||
| 223 | <a href="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/">download</a>. | ||
| 224 | Be sure to check out the other sections of their main page, including | ||
| 225 | Beyond Linux From Scratch, Hardened Linux From Scratch, their Hints | ||
| 226 | directory, and their LiveCD project. (They also have mailing lists which | ||
| 227 | are better sources of answers to Linux-system building questions than | ||
| 228 | the busybox list.) | ||
| 229 | </p> | ||
| 230 | <p> | ||
| 231 | If you want an automated yet customizable system builder which produces | ||
| 232 | a BusyBox and uClibc based system, try | ||
| 233 | <a href="http://buildroot.uclibc.org/">buildroot</a>, which is | ||
| 234 | another project by the maintainer of the uClibc (Erik Andersen). | ||
| 235 | Download the tarball, extract it, unset CC, make. | ||
| 236 | For more instructions, see the website. | ||
| 237 | </p> | ||
| 238 | |||
| 239 | <hr /> | ||
| 240 | <h2><a name="kernel">Which Linux kernel versions are supported?</a></h2> | ||
| 241 | |||
| 242 | <p> | ||
| 243 | Full functionality requires Linux 2.4.x or better. (Earlier versions may | ||
| 244 | still work, but are no longer regularly tested.) A large fraction of the | ||
| 245 | code should run on just about anything. While the current code is fairly | ||
| 246 | Linux specific, it should be fairly easy to port the majority of the code | ||
| 247 | to support, say, FreeBSD or Solaris, or Mac OS X, or even Windows (if you | ||
| 248 | are into that sort of thing). | ||
| 249 | </p> | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | <hr /> | ||
| 252 | <h2><a name="arch">Which architectures does BusyBox run on?</a></h2> | ||
| 253 | |||
| 254 | <p> | ||
| 255 | BusyBox in general will build on any architecture supported by gcc. | ||
| 256 | Kernel module loading for 2.4 Linux kernels is currently | ||
| 257 | limited to ARM, CRIS, H8/300, x86, ia64, x86_64, m68k, MIPS, PowerPC, | ||
| 258 | S390, SH3/4/5, Sparc, v850e, and x86_64 for 2.4.x kernels. | ||
| 259 | </p> | ||
| 260 | <p> | ||
| 261 | With 2.6.x kernels, module loading support should work on all architectures. | ||
| 262 | </p> | ||
| 263 | |||
| 264 | <hr /> | ||
| 265 | <h2><a name="libc">Which C libraries are supported?</a></h2> | ||
| 266 | |||
| 267 | <p> | ||
| 268 | On Linux, BusyBox releases are tested against uClibc (0.9.27 or later) and | ||
| 269 | glibc (2.2 or later). Both should provide full functionality with busybox, | ||
| 270 | and if you find a bug we want to hear about it. | ||
| 271 | </p> | ||
| 272 | <p> | ||
| 273 | Linux-libc5 is no longer maintained (and has no known advantages over | ||
| 274 | uClibc), dietlibc is known to have numerous unfixed bugs, and klibc is | ||
| 275 | missing too many features to build BusyBox. If you require a small C | ||
| 276 | library for Linux, the busybox developers recommend uClibc. | ||
| 277 | </p> | ||
| 278 | <p> | ||
| 279 | Some BusyBox applets have been built and run under a combination | ||
| 280 | of newlib and libgloss (see | ||
| 281 | <a href="http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2005-March/013759.html">this thread</a>). | ||
| 282 | This is still experimental, but may be supported in a future release. | ||
| 283 | </p> | ||
| 284 | |||
| 285 | <hr /> | ||
| 286 | <h2><a name="commercial">Can I include BusyBox as part of the software on my device?</a></h2> | ||
| 287 | |||
| 288 | <p> | ||
| 289 | Yes. As long as you <a href="http://busybox.net/license.html">fully comply | ||
| 290 | with the generous terms of the GPL BusyBox license</a> you can ship BusyBox | ||
| 291 | as part of the software on your device. | ||

| 368 | Bug reports and new feature patches sometimes get lost when posted to the | ||
| 369 | mailing list, because the developers of BusyBox are busy people and have | ||
| 370 | only so much they can keep in their brains at a time. You can post a | ||
| 371 | polite reminder after 2-3 days without offending anybody. If that doesn't | ||
| 372 | result in a solution, please use the | ||
| 373 | <a href="https://bugs.busybox.net/">BusyBox Bug | ||
| 374 | and Patch Tracking System</a> to submit a detailed explanation and we'll | ||

| 379 | Note that bugs entered into the bug system without being mentioned on the | ||
| 380 | mailing list first may languish there for months before anyone even notices | ||
| 381 | them. We generally go through the bug system when preparing for new | ||
| 382 | development releases, to see what fell through the cracks while we were | ||
| 383 | off writing new features. (It's a fast/unreliable vs slow/reliable thing. | ||
| 384 | Saves retransits, but the latency sucks.) | ||

| 388 | <h2><a name="backporting">I'm using an ancient version from the dawn of time and something's broken. Can you backport fixes for free?</a></h2> | ||
| 389 | |||
| 390 | <p>Variants of this one get asked a lot.</p> | ||
| 391 | |||
| 392 | <p>The purpose of the BusyBox mailing list is to develop and improve BusyBox, | ||
| 393 | and we're happy to respond to our users' needs. But if you're coming to the | ||
| 394 | list for free tech support we're going to ask you to upgrade to a current | ||
| 395 | version before we try to diagnose your problem.</p> | ||
| 396 | |||
| 397 | <p>If you're building BusyBox 0.50 with uClibc 0.9.19 and gcc 1.27 there's a | ||
| 398 | fairly large chance that whatever problem you're seeing has already been fixed. | ||
| 399 | To get that fix, all you have to do is upgrade to a newer version. If you | ||
| 400 | don't at least _try_ that, you're wasting our time.</p> | ||
| 401 | |||
| 402 | <p>The volunteers are happy to fix any bugs you point out in the current | ||
| 403 | versions because doing so helps everybody and makes the project better. We | ||
| 404 | want to make the current version work for you. But diagnosing, debugging, and | ||
| 405 | backporting fixes to old versions isn't something we do for free, because it | ||
| 406 | doesn't help anybody but you. The cost of volunteer tech support is using a | ||
| 407 | reasonably current version of the project.</p> | ||
| 408 | |||
| 409 | <p>If you don't want to upgrade, you have the complete source code and thus | ||
| 410 | the ability to fix it yourself, or hire a consultant to do it for you. If you | ||
| 411 | got your version from a vendor who still supports the older version, they can | ||
| 412 | help you. But there are limits as to what the volunteers will feel obliged to | ||
| 413 | do for you.</p> | ||
| 414 | |||
| 415 | <p>As a rule of thumb, volunteers will generally answer polite questions about | ||
| 416 | a given version for about three years after its release before it's so old | ||
| 417 | we don't remember the answer off the top of our head. And if you want us to | ||
| 418 | put any _effort_ into tracking it down, we want you to put in a little effort | ||
| 419 | of your own by confirming it's still a problem with the current version. It's | ||
| 420 | also hard for us to fix a problem of yours if we can't reproduce it because | ||
| 421 | we don't have any systems running an environment that old.</p> | ||
| 422 | |||
| 423 | <p>A consultant will happily set up a special environment just to reproduce | ||
| 424 | your problem, and you can always ask on the list if any of the developers | ||
| 425 | have consulting rates.</p> | ||

| 429 | |||
| 430 | <p> | ||
| 431 | Init is the first program that runs, so it might be that no programs are | ||
| 432 | working on your new system because of a problem with your cross-compiler, | ||
| 433 | kernel, console settings, shared libraries, root filesystem... To rule all | ||
| 434 | that out, first build a statically linked version of the following "hello | ||
| 435 | world" program with your cross compiler toolchain: | ||
| 436 | </p> | ||
| 437 | <pre> | ||
| 438 | #include <stdio.h> | ||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | int main(int argc, char *argv) | ||
| 441 | { | ||
| 442 | printf("Hello world!\n"); | ||
| 443 | sleep(999999999); | ||
| 444 | } | ||
| 445 | </pre> | ||
| 446 | |||
| 447 | <p> | ||
| 448 | Now try to boot your device with an "init=" argument pointing to your | ||
| 449 | hello world program. Did you see the hello world message? Until you | ||
| 450 | do, don't bother messing with busybox init. | ||
| 451 | </p> | ||
| 452 | |||
| 453 | <p> | ||
| 454 | Once you've got it working statically linked, try getting it to work | ||
| 455 | dynamically linked. Then read the FAQ entry <a href="#build_system">How | ||
| 456 | do I build a BusyBox-based system?</a>, and the | ||

| 462 | <h2><a name="sed">I can't configure busybox on my system.</a></h2> | ||
| 463 | |||
| 464 | <p> | ||
| 465 | Configuring Busybox depends on a recent version of sed. Older | ||
| 466 | distributions (Red Hat 7.2, Debian 3.0) may not come with a | ||
| 467 | usable version. Luckily BusyBox can use its own sed to configure itself, | ||
| 468 | although this leads to a bit of a chicken and egg problem. | ||
| 469 | You can work around this by hand-configuring busybox to build with just | ||
| 470 | sed, then putting that sed in your path to configure the rest of busybox | ||
| 471 | with, like so: | ||
| 472 | </p> | ||
| 473 | |||
| 474 | <pre> | ||
| 475 | tar xvjf sources/busybox-x.x.x.tar.bz2 | ||
| 476 | cd busybox-x.x.x | ||
| 477 | make allnoconfig | ||
| 478 | make include/bb_config.h | ||
| 479 | echo "CONFIG_SED=y" >> .config | ||
| 480 | echo "#undef ENABLE_SED" >> include/bb_config.h | ||
| 481 | echo "#define ENABLE_SED 1" >> include/bb_config.h | ||
| 482 | make | ||
| 483 | mv busybox sed | ||
| 484 | export PATH=`pwd`:"$PATH" | ||
| 485 | </pre> | ||
| 486 | |||
| 487 | <p>Then you can run "make defconfig" or "make menuconfig" normally.</p> | ||
| 488 | |||

| 490 | <h2><a name="job_control">Why do I keep getting "sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" errors? Why doesn't Control-C work within my shell?</a></h2> | ||
| 491 | |||
| 492 | <p> | ||
| 493 | Job control will be turned off since your shell can not obtain a controlling | ||
| 494 | terminal. This typically happens when you run your shell on /dev/console. | ||
| 495 | The kernel will not provide a controlling terminal on the /dev/console | ||
| 496 | device. Your should run your shell on a normal tty such as tty1 or ttyS0 | ||
| 497 | and everything will work perfectly. If you <em>REALLY</em> want your shell | ||
| 498 | to run on /dev/console, then you can hack your kernel (if you are into that | ||
| 499 | sortof thing) by changing drivers/char/tty_io.c to change the lines where | ||
| 500 | it sets "noctty = 1;" to instead set it to "0". I recommend you instead | ||
| 501 | run your shell on a real console... | ||

| 518 | |||
| 519 | <p>Busybox aims to be the smallest and simplest correct implementation of the | ||
| 520 | standard Linux command line tools. First and foremost, this means the | ||
| 521 | smallest executable size we can manage. We also want to have the simplest | ||
| 522 | and cleanest implementation we can manage, be <a href="#standards">standards | ||
| 523 | compliant</a>, minimize run-time memory usage (heap and stack), run fast, and | ||
| 524 | take over the world.</p> | ||
| 525 | |||
| 526 | <hr /> | ||
| 527 | <h2><a name="design">What is the design of busybox?</a></h2> | ||
| 528 | |||
| 529 | <p>Busybox is like a swiss army knife: one thing with many functions. | ||
| 530 | The busybox executable can act like many different programs depending on | ||
| 531 | the name used to invoke it. Normal practice is to create a bunch of symlinks | ||
| 532 | pointing to the busybox binary, each of which triggers a different busybox | ||
| 533 | function. (See <a href="FAQ.html#getting_started">getting started</a> in the | ||
| 534 | FAQ for more information on usage, and <a href="BusyBox.html">the | ||
| 535 | busybox documentation</a> for a list of symlink names and what they do.) | ||
| 536 | |||
| 537 | <p>The "one binary to rule them all" approach is primarily for size reasons: a | ||
| 538 | single multi-purpose executable is smaller then many small files could be. | ||
| 539 | This way busybox only has one set of ELF headers, it can easily share code | ||
| 540 | between different apps even when statically linked, it has better packing | ||
| 541 | efficiency by avoding gaps between files or compression dictionary resets, | ||
| 542 | and so on.</p> | ||
| 543 | |||
| 544 | <p>Work is underway on new options such as "make standalone" to build separate | ||
| 545 | binaries for each applet, and a "libbb.so" to make the busybox common code | ||
| 546 | available as a shared library. Neither is ready yet at the time of this | ||
| 547 | writing.</p> | ||
| 548 | |||
| 549 | <a name="source"></a> | ||
| 550 | |||
| 551 | <hr /> | ||
| 552 | <h2><a name="source_applets">The applet directories</a></h2> | ||
| 553 | |||
| 554 | <p>The directory "applets" contains the busybox startup code (applets.c and | ||
| 555 | busybox.c), and several subdirectories containing the code for the individual | ||
| 556 | applets.</p> | ||
| 557 | |||
| 558 | <p>Busybox execution starts with the main() function in applets/busybox.c, | ||
| 559 | which sets the global variable applet_name to argv[0] and calls | ||
| 560 | run_applet_and_exit() in applets/applets.c. That uses the applets[] array | ||
| 561 | (defined in include/busybox.h and filled out in include/applets.h) to | ||
| 562 | transfer control to the appropriate APPLET_main() function (such as | ||
| 563 | cat_main() or sed_main()). The individual applet takes it from there.</p> | ||
| 564 | |||
| 565 | <p>This is why calling busybox under a different name triggers different | ||
| 566 | functionality: main() looks up argv[0] in applets[] to get a function pointer | ||
| 567 | to APPLET_main().</p> | ||
| 568 | |||
| 569 | <p>Busybox applets may also be invoked through the multiplexor applet | ||
| 570 | "busybox" (see busybox_main() in libbb/appletlib.c), and through the | ||
| 571 | standalone shell (grep for STANDALONE_SHELL in applets/shell/*.c). | ||
| 572 | See <a href="FAQ.html#getting_started">getting started</a> in the | ||
| 573 | FAQ for more information on these alternate usage mechanisms, which are | ||
| 574 | just different ways to reach the relevant APPLET_main() function.</p> | ||
| 575 | |||
| 576 | <p>The applet subdirectories (archival, console-tools, coreutils, | ||
| 577 | debianutils, e2fsprogs, editors, findutils, init, loginutils, miscutils, | ||
| 578 | modutils, networking, procps, shell, sysklogd, and util-linux) correspond | ||
| 579 | to the configuration sub-menus in menuconfig. Each subdirectory contains the | ||
| 580 | code to implement the applets in that sub-menu, as well as a Config.in | ||
| 581 | file defining that configuration sub-menu (with dependencies and help text | ||
| 582 | for each applet), and the makefile segment (Makefile.in) for that | ||
| 583 | subdirectory.</p> | ||
| 584 | |||
| 585 | <p>The run-time --help is stored in usage_messages[], which is initialized at | ||
| 586 | the start of applets/applets.c and gets its help text from usage.h. During the | ||
| 587 | build this help text is also used to generate the BusyBox documentation (in | ||
| 588 | html, txt, and man page formats) in the docs directory. See | ||
| 589 | <a href="#adding">adding an applet to busybox</a> for more | ||
| 590 | information.</p> | ||

| 592 | <hr /> | ||
| 593 | <h2><a name="source_libbb"><b>libbb</b></a></h2> | ||
| 594 | |||
| 595 | <p>Most non-setup code shared between busybox applets lives in the libbb | ||
| 596 | directory. It's a mess that evolved over the years without much auditing | ||
| 597 | or cleanup. For anybody looking for a great project to break into busybox | ||
| 598 | development with, documenting libbb would be both incredibly useful and good | ||
| 599 | experience.</p> | ||
| 600 | |||
| 601 | <p>Common themes in libbb include allocation functions that test | ||
| 602 | for failure and abort the program with an error message so the caller doesn't | ||
| 603 | have to test the return value (xmalloc(), xstrdup(), etc), wrapped versions | ||
| 604 | of open(), close(), read(), and write() that test for their own failures | ||
| 605 | and/or retry automatically, linked list management functions (llist.c), | ||
| 606 | command line argument parsing (getopt32.c), and a whole lot more.</p> | ||
| 607 | |||
| 608 | <hr /> | ||
| 609 | <h2><a name="optimize">I want to make busybox even smaller, how do I go about it?</a></h2> | ||
| 610 | |||
| 611 | <p> | ||
| 612 | To conserve bytes it's good to know where they're being used, and the | ||
| 613 | size of the final executable isn't always a reliable indicator of | ||
| 614 | the size of the components (since various structures are rounded up, | ||
| 615 | so a small change may not even be visible by itself, but many small | ||
| 616 | savings add up). | ||
| 617 | </p> | ||
| 618 | |||
| 619 | <p> The busybox Makefile builds two versions of busybox, one of which | ||
| 620 | (busybox_unstripped) has extra information that various analysis tools | ||
| 621 | can use. (This has nothing to do with CONFIG_DEBUG, leave that off | ||
| 622 | when trying to optimize for size.) | ||
| 623 | </p> | ||
| 624 | |||
| 625 | <p> The <b>"make bloatcheck"</b> option uses Matt Mackall's bloat-o-meter | ||
| 626 | script to compare two versions of busybox (busybox_unstripped vs | ||
| 627 | busybox_old), and report which symbols changed size and by how much. | ||
| 628 | To use it, first build a base version with <b>"make baseline"</b>. | ||
| 629 | (This creates busybox_old, which should have the original sizes for | ||
| 630 | comparison purposes.) Then build the new version with your changes | ||
| 631 | and run "make bloatcheck" to see the size differences from the old | ||
| 632 | version. | ||
| 633 | </p> | ||
| 634 | <p> | ||
| 635 | The first line of output has totals: how many symbols were added or | ||
| 636 | removed, how many symbols grew or shrank, the number of bytes added | ||
| 637 | and number of bytes removed by these changes, and finally the total | ||
| 638 | number of bytes difference between the two files. The remaining | ||
| 639 | lines show each individual symbol, the old and new sizes, and the | ||
| 640 | increase or decrease in size (which results are sorted by). | ||
| 641 | </p> | ||
| 642 | <p> | ||
| 643 | The <b>"make sizes"</b> option produces raw symbol size information for | ||
| 644 | busybox_unstripped. This is the output from the "nm --size-sort" | ||
| 645 | command (see "man nm" for more information), and is the information | ||
| 646 | bloat-o-meter parses to produce the comparison report above. For | ||
| 647 | defconfig, this is a good way to find the largest symbols in the tree | ||
| 648 | (which is a good place to start when trying to shrink the code). To | ||
| 649 | take a closer look at individual applets, configure busybox with just | ||
| 650 | one applet (run "make allnoconfig" and then switch on a single applet | ||
| 651 | with menuconfig), and then use "make sizes" to see the size of that | ||
| 652 | applet's components. | ||
| 653 | </p> | ||
| 654 | <p> | ||
| 655 | The "showasm" command (in the scripts directory) produces an assembly | ||
| 656 | dump of a function, providing a closer look at what changed. Try | ||
| 657 | "scripts/showasm busybox_unstripped" to list available symbols, and | ||
| 658 | "scripts/showasm busybox_unstripped symbolname" to see the assembly | ||
| 659 | for a sepecific symbol. | ||

| 663 | <h2><a name="adding">Adding an applet to busybox</a></h2> | ||
| 664 | |||
| 665 | <p>To add a new applet to busybox, first pick a name for the applet and | ||
| 666 | a corresponding CONFIG_NAME. Then do this:</p> | ||
| 667 | |||
| 668 | <ul> | ||
| 669 | <li>Figure out where in the busybox source tree your applet best fits, | ||
| 670 | and put your source code there. Be sure to use APPLET_main() instead | ||
| 671 | of main(), where APPLET is the name of your applet.</li> | ||
| 672 | |||
| 673 | <li>Add your applet to the relevant Config.in file (which file you add | ||
| 674 | it to determines where it shows up in "make menuconfig"). This uses | ||
| 675 | the same general format as the linux kernel's configuration system.</li> | ||
| 676 | |||
| 677 | <li>Add your applet to the relevant Makefile.in file (in the same | ||
| 678 | directory as the Config.in you chose), using the existing entries as a | ||
| 679 | template and the same CONFIG symbol as you used for Config.in. (Don't | ||
| 680 | forget "needlibm" or "needcrypt" if your applet needs libm or | ||
| 681 | libcrypt.)</li> | ||
| 682 | |||
| 683 | <li>Add your applet to "include/applets.h", using one of the existing | ||
| 684 | entries as a template. (Note: this is in alphabetical order. Applets | ||
| 685 | are found via binary search, and if you add an applet out of order it | ||
| 686 | won't work.)</li> | ||
| 687 | |||
| 688 | <li>Add your applet's runtime help text to "include/usage.h". You need | ||
| 689 | at least appname_trivial_usage (the minimal help text, always included | ||
| 690 | in the busybox binary when this applet is enabled) and appname_full_usage | ||
| 691 | (extra help text included in the busybox binary with | ||
| 692 | CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE is enabled), or it won't compile. | ||
| 693 | The other two help entry types (appname_example_usage and | ||
| 694 | appname_notes_usage) are optional. They don't take up space in the binary, | ||
| 695 | but instead show up in the generated documentation (BusyBox.html, | ||
| 696 | BusyBox.txt, and the man page BusyBox.1).</li> | ||
| 697 | |||
| 698 | <li>Run menuconfig, switch your applet on, compile, test, and fix the | ||
| 699 | bugs. Be sure to try both "allyesconfig" and "allnoconfig" (and | ||
| 700 | "allbareconfig" if relevant).</li> | ||

| 705 | <h2><a name="standards">What standards does busybox adhere to?</a></h2> | ||
| 706 | |||
| 707 | <p>The standard we're paying attention to is the "Shell and Utilities" | ||
| 708 | portion of the <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/">Open | ||
| 709 | Group Base Standards</a> (also known as the Single Unix Specification version | ||
| 710 | 3 or SUSv3). Note that paying attention isn't necessarily the same thing as | ||
| 711 | following it.</p> | ||
| 712 | |||
| 713 | <p>SUSv3 doesn't even mention things like init, mount, tar, or losetup, nor | ||
| 714 | commonly used options like echo's '-e' and '-n', or sed's '-i'. Busybox is | ||
| 715 | driven by what real users actually need, not the fact the standard believes | ||
| 716 | we should implement ed or sccs. For size reasons, we're unlikely to include | ||
| 717 | much internationalization support beyond UTF-8, and on top of all that, our | ||
| 718 | configuration menu lets developers chop out features to produce smaller but | ||
| 719 | very non-standard utilities.</p> | ||
| 720 | |||
| 721 | <p>Also, Busybox is aimed primarily at Linux. Unix standards are interesting | ||
| 722 | because Linux tries to adhere to them, but portability to dozens of platforms | ||
| 723 | is only interesting in terms of offering a restricted feature set that works | ||
| 724 | everywhere, not growing dozens of platform-specific extensions. Busybox | ||
| 725 | should be portable to all hardware platforms Linux supports, and any other | ||
| 726 | similar operating systems that are easy to do and won't require much | ||
| 727 | maintenance.</p> | ||
| 728 | |||
| 729 | <p>In practice, standards compliance tends to be a clean-up step once an | ||
| 730 | applet is otherwise finished. When polishing and testing a busybox applet, | ||
| 731 | we ensure we have at least the option of full standards compliance, or else | ||
| 732 | document where we (intentionally) fall short.</p> | ||

| 736 | |||
| 737 | <p>Busybox is a Linux project, but that doesn't mean we don't have to worry | ||
| 738 | about portability. First of all, there are different hardware platforms, | ||
| 739 | different C library implementations, different versions of the kernel and | ||
| 740 | build toolchain... The file "include/platform.h" exists to centralize and | ||
| 741 | encapsulate various platform-specific things in one place, so most busybox | ||
| 742 | code doesn't have to care where it's running.</p> | ||

| 744 | <p>To start with, Linux runs on dozens of hardware platforms. We try to test | ||
| 745 | each release on x86, x86-64, arm, power pc, and mips. (Since qemu can handle | ||
| 746 | all of these, this isn't that hard.) This means we have to care about a number | ||
| 747 | of portability issues like endianness, word size, and alignment, all of which | ||
| 748 | belong in platform.h. That header handles conditional #includes and gives | ||
| 749 | us macros we can use in the rest of our code. At some point in the future | ||
| 750 | we might grow a platform.c, possibly even a platform subdirectory. As long | ||
| 751 | as the applets themselves don't have to care.</p> | ||
| 752 | |||
| 753 | <p>On a related note, we made the "default signedness of char varies" problem | ||
| 754 | go away by feeding the compiler -funsigned-char. This gives us consistent | ||
| 755 | behavior on all platforms, and defaults to 8-bit clean text processing (which | ||
| 756 | gets us halfway to UTF-8 support). NOMMU support is less easily separated | ||
| 757 | (see the tips section later in this document), but we're working on it.</p> | ||
| 758 | |||
| 759 | <p>Another type of portability is build environments: we unapologetically use | ||
| 760 | a number of gcc and glibc extensions (as does the Linux kernel), but these have | ||
| 761 | been picked up by packages like uClibc, TCC, and Intel's C Compiler. As for | ||
| 762 | gcc, we take advantage of newer compiler optimizations to get the smallest | ||
| 763 | possible size, but we also regression test against an older build environment | ||
| 764 | using the Red Hat 9 image at "http://busybox.net/downloads/qemu". This has a | ||
| 765 | 2.4 kernel, gcc 3.2, make 3.79.1, and glibc 2.3, and is the oldest | ||
| 766 | build/deployment environment we still put any effort into maintaining. (If | ||
| 767 | anyone takes an interest in older kernels you're welcome to submit patches, | ||
| 768 | but the effort would probably be better spent | ||
| 769 | <a href="http://www.selenic.com/linux-tiny/">trimming | ||
| 770 | down the 2.6 kernel</a>.) Older gcc versions than that are uninteresting since | ||
| 771 | we now use c99 features, although | ||
| 772 | <a href="http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/">tcc</a> might be worth a | ||
| 773 | look.</p> | ||
| 774 | |||
| 775 | <p>We also test busybox against the current release of uClibc. Older versions | ||
| 776 | of uClibc aren't very interesting (they were buggy, and uClibc wasn't really | ||
| 777 | usable as a general-purpose C library before version 0.9.26 anyway).</p> | ||
| 778 | |||
| 779 | <p>Other unix implementations are mostly uninteresting, since Linux binaries | ||
| 780 | have become the new standard for portable Unix programs. Specifically, | ||
| 781 | the ubiquity of Linux was cited as the main reason the Intel Binary | ||
| 782 | Compatability Standard 2 died, by the standards group organized to name a | ||
| 783 | successor to ibcs2: <a href="http://www.telly.org/86open/">the 86open | ||
| 784 | project</a>. That project disbanded in 1999 with the endorsement of an | ||
| 785 | existing standard: Linux ELF binaries. Since then, the major players at the | ||
| 786 | time (such as <a | ||
| 787 | href="http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/index.html">AIX</a>, <a | ||
| 788 | href="http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ds/linux_interop.jsp#3">Solaris</a>, and | ||
| 789 | <a href="http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/bsd/2000/03/17/linuxapps.html">FreeBSD</a>) | ||
| 790 | have all either grown Linux support or folded.</p> | ||
| 791 | |||
| 792 | <p>The major exceptions are newcomer MacOS X, some embedded environments | ||
| 793 | (such as newlib+libgloss) which provide a posix environment but not a full | ||
| 794 | Linux environment, and environments like Cygwin that provide only partial Linux | ||
| 795 | emulation. Also, some embedded Linux systems run a Linux kernel but amputate | ||
| 796 | things like the /proc directory to save space.</p> | ||
| 797 | |||
| 798 | <p>Supporting these systems is largely a question of providing a clean subset | ||
| 799 | of BusyBox's functionality -- whichever applets can easily be made to | ||
| 800 | work in that environment. Annotating the configuration system to | ||
| 801 | indicate which applets require which prerequisites (such as procfs) is | ||
| 802 | also welcome. Other efforts to support these systems (swapping #include | ||
| 803 | files to build in different environments, adding adapter code to platform.h, | ||
| 804 | adding more extensive special-case supporting infrastructure such as mount's | ||
| 805 | legacy mtab support) are handled on a case-by-case basis. Support that can be | ||
| 806 | cleanly hidden in platform.h is reasonably attractive, and failing that | ||
| 807 | support that can be cleanly separated into a separate conditionally compiled | ||
| 808 | file is at least worth a look. Special-case code in the body of an applet is | ||
| 809 | something we're trying to avoid.</p> | ||

| 814 | <p>Various things busybox uses that aren't particularly well documented | ||
| 815 | elsewhere.</p> | ||

| 817 | <hr /> | ||
| 818 | <h2><a name="tips_encrypted_passwords">Encrypted Passwords</a></h2> | ||
| 819 | |||
| 820 | <p>Password fields in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow are in a special format. | ||
| 821 | If the first character isn't '$', then it's an old DES style password. If | ||
| 822 | the first character is '$' then the password is actually three fields | ||
| 823 | separated by '$' characters:</p> | ||
| 824 | <pre> | ||
| 825 | <b>$type$salt$encrypted_password</b> | ||
| 826 | </pre> | ||
| 827 | |||
| 828 | <p>The "type" indicates which encryption algorithm to use: 1 for MD5 and 2 for SHA1.</p> | ||
| 829 | |||
| 830 | <p>The "salt" is a bunch of ramdom characters (generally 8) the encryption | ||
| 831 | algorithm uses to perturb the password in a known and reproducible way (such | ||
| 832 | as by appending the random data to the unencrypted password, or combining | ||
| 833 | them with exclusive or). Salt is randomly generated when setting a password, | ||
| 834 | and then the same salt value is re-used when checking the password. (Salt is | ||
| 835 | thus stored unencrypted.)</p> | ||
| 836 | |||
| 837 | <p>The advantage of using salt is that the same cleartext password encrypted | ||
| 838 | with a different salt value produces a different encrypted value. | ||
| 839 | If each encrypted password uses a different salt value, an attacker is forced | ||
| 840 | to do the cryptographic math all over again for each password they want to | ||
| 841 | check. Without salt, they could simply produce a big dictionary of commonly | ||
| 842 | used passwords ahead of time, and look up each password in a stolen password | ||
| 843 | file to see if it's a known value. (Even if there are billions of possible | ||
| 844 | passwords in the dictionary, checking each one is just a binary search against | ||
| 845 | a file only a few gigabytes long.) With salt they can't even tell if two | ||
| 846 | different users share the same password without guessing what that password | ||
| 847 | is and decrypting it. They also can't precompute the attack dictionary for | ||
| 848 | a specific password until they know what the salt value is.</p> | ||
| 849 | |||
| 850 | <p>The third field is the encrypted password (plus the salt). For md5 this | ||
| 851 | is 22 bytes.</p> | ||
| 852 | |||
| 853 | <p>The busybox function to handle all this is pw_encrypt(clear, salt) in | ||
| 854 | "libbb/pw_encrypt.c". The first argument is the clear text password to be | ||
| 855 | encrypted, and the second is a string in "$type$salt$password" format, from | ||
| 856 | which the "type" and "salt" fields will be extracted to produce an encrypted | ||
| 857 | value. (Only the first two fields are needed, the third $ is equivalent to | ||
| 858 | the end of the string.) The return value is an encrypted password in | ||
| 859 | /etc/passwd format, with all three $ separated fields. It's stored in | ||
| 860 | a static buffer, 128 bytes long.</p> | ||
| 861 | |||
| 862 | <p>So when checking an existing password, if pw_encrypt(text, | ||
| 863 | old_encrypted_password) returns a string that compares identical to | ||
| 864 | old_encrypted_password, you've got the right password. When setting a new | ||
| 865 | password, generate a random 8 character salt string, put it in the right | ||
| 866 | format with sprintf(buffer, "$%c$%s", type, salt), and feed buffer as the | ||
| 867 | second argument to pw_encrypt(text,buffer).</p> | ||

| 870 | <h2><a name="tips_vfork">Fork and vfork</a></h2> | ||
| 871 | |||
| 872 | <p>On systems that haven't got a Memory Management Unit, fork() is unreasonably | ||
| 873 | expensive to implement (and sometimes even impossible), so a less capable | ||
| 874 | function called vfork() is used instead. (Using vfork() on a system with an | ||
| 875 | MMU is like pounding a nail with a wrench. Not the best tool for the job, but | ||
| 876 | it works.)</p> | ||
| 877 | |||
| 878 | <p>Busybox hides the difference between fork() and vfork() in | ||
| 879 | libbb/bb_fork_exec.c. If you ever want to fork and exec, use bb_fork_exec() | ||
| 880 | (which returns a pid and takes the same arguments as execve(), although in | ||
| 881 | this case envp can be NULL) and don't worry about it. This description is | ||
| 882 | here in case you want to know why that does what it does.</p> | ||
| 883 | |||
| 884 | <p>Implementing fork() depends on having a Memory Management Unit. With an | ||
| 885 | MMU then you can simply set up a second set of page tables and share the | ||
| 886 | physical memory via copy-on-write. So a fork() followed quickly by exec() | ||
| 887 | only copies a few pages of the parent's memory, just the ones it changes | ||
| 888 | before freeing them.</p> | ||
| 889 | |||
| 890 | <p>With a very primitive MMU (using a base pointer plus length instead of page | ||
| 891 | tables, which can provide virtual addresses and protect processes from each | ||
| 892 | other, but no copy on write) you can still implement fork. But it's | ||
| 893 | unreasonably expensive, because you have to copy all the parent process' | ||
| 894 | memory into the new process (which could easily be several megabytes per fork). | ||
| 895 | And you have to do this even though that memory gets freed again as soon as the | ||
| 896 | exec happens. (This is not just slow and a waste of space but causes memory | ||
| 897 | usage spikes that can easily cause the system to run out of memory.)</p> | ||
| 898 | |||
| 899 | <p>Without even a primitive MMU, you have no virtual addresses. Every process | ||
| 900 | can reach out and touch any other process' memory, because all pointers are to | ||
| 901 | physical addresses with no protection. Even if you copy a process' memory to | ||
| 902 | new physical addresses, all of its pointers point to the old objects in the | ||
| 903 | old process. (Searching through the new copy's memory for pointers and | ||
| 904 | redirect them to the new locations is not an easy problem.)</p> | ||
| 905 | |||
| 906 | <p>So with a primitive or missing MMU, fork() is just not a good idea.</p> | ||
| 907 | |||
| 908 | <p>In theory, vfork() is just a fork() that writeably shares the heap and stack | ||
| 909 | rather than copying it (so what one process writes the other one sees). In | ||
| 910 | practice, vfork() has to suspend the parent process until the child does exec, | ||
| 911 | at which point the parent wakes up and resumes by returning from the call to | ||
| 912 | vfork(). All modern kernel/libc combinations implement vfork() to put the | ||
| 913 | parent to sleep until the child does its exec. There's just no other way to | ||
| 914 | make it work: the parent has to know the child has done its exec() or exit() | ||
| 915 | before it's safe to return from the function it's in, so it has to block | ||
| 916 | until that happens. In fact without suspending the parent there's no way to | ||
| 917 | even store separate copies of the return value (the pid) from the vfork() call | ||
| 918 | itself: both assignments write into the same memory location.</p> | ||
| 919 | |||
| 920 | <p>One way to understand (and in fact implement) vfork() is this: imagine | ||
| 921 | the parent does a setjmp and then continues on (pretending to be the child) | ||
| 922 | until the exec() comes around, then the _exec_ does the actual fork, and the | ||
| 923 | parent does a longjmp back to the original vfork call and continues on from | ||
| 924 | there. (It thus becomes obvious why the child can't return, or modify | ||
| 925 | local variables it doesn't want the parent to see changed when it resumes.) | ||
| 926 | |||
| 927 | <p>Note a common mistake: the need for vfork doesn't mean you can't have two | ||
| 928 | processes running at the same time. It means you can't have two processes | ||
| 929 | sharing the same memory without stomping all over each other. As soon as | ||
| 930 | the child calls exec(), the parent resumes.</p> | ||
| 931 | |||
| 932 | <p>If the child's attempt to call exec() fails, the child should call _exit() | ||
| 933 | rather than a normal exit(). This avoids any atexit() code that might confuse | ||
| 934 | the parent. (The parent should never call _exit(), only a vforked child that | ||
| 935 | failed to exec.)</p> | ||
| 936 | |||
| 937 | <p>(Now in theory, a nommu system could just copy the _stack_ when it forks | ||
| 938 | (which presumably is much shorter than the heap), and leave the heap shared. | ||
| 939 | Even with no MMU at all | ||
| 940 | In practice, you've just wound up in a multi-threaded situation and you can't | ||
| 941 | do a malloc() or free() on your heap without freeing the other process' memory | ||
| 942 | (and if you don't have the proper locking for being threaded, corrupting the | ||
| 943 | heap if both of you try to do it at the same time and wind up stomping on | ||
| 944 | each other while traversing the free memory lists). The thing about vfork is | ||
| 945 | that it's a big red flag warning "there be dragons here" rather than | ||
| 946 | something subtle and thus even more dangerous.)</p> | ||
| 947 | |||
| 948 | <hr /> | ||
| 949 | <h2><a name="tips_sort_read">Short reads and writes</a></h2> | ||
| 950 | |||
| 951 | <p>Busybox has special functions, bb_full_read() and bb_full_write(), to | ||
| 952 | check that all the data we asked for got read or written. Is this a real | ||
| 953 | world consideration? Try the following:</p> | ||
| 954 | |||
| 955 | <pre>while true; do echo hello; sleep 1; done | tee out.txt</pre> | ||
| 956 | |||
| 957 | <p>If tee is implemented with bb_full_read(), tee doesn't display output | ||
| 958 | in real time but blocks until its entire input buffer (generally a couple | ||
| 959 | kilobytes) is read, then displays it all at once. In that case, we _want_ | ||
| 960 | the short read, for user interface reasons. (Note that read() should never | ||
| 961 | return 0 unless it has hit the end of input, and an attempt to write 0 | ||
| 962 | bytes should be ignored by the OS.)</p> | ||
| 963 | |||
| 964 | <p>As for short writes, play around with two processes piping data to each | ||
| 965 | other on the command line (cat bigfile | gzip > out.gz) and suspend and | ||
| 966 | resume a few times (ctrl-z to suspend, "fg" to resume). The writer can | ||
| 967 | experience short writes, which are especially dangerous because if you don't | ||
| 968 | notice them you'll discard data. They can also happen when a system is under | ||
| 969 | load and a fast process is piping to a slower one. (Such as an xterm waiting | ||
| 970 | on x11 when the scheduler decides X is being a CPU hog with all that | ||
| 971 | text console scrolling...)</p> | ||
| 972 | |||
| 973 | <p>So will data always be read from the far end of a pipe at the | ||
| 974 | same chunk sizes it was written in? Nope. Don't rely on that. For one | ||
| 975 | counterexample, see <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc896.html">rfc 896 | ||
| 976 | for Nagle's algorithm</a>, which waits a fraction of a second or so before | ||
| 977 | sending out small amounts of data through a TCP/IP connection in case more | ||
| 978 | data comes in that can be merged into the same packet. (In case you were | ||
| 979 | wondering why action games that use TCP/IP set TCP_NODELAY to lower the latency | ||
| 980 | on their their sockets, now you know.)</p> | ||

| 983 | <h2><a name="tips_memory">Memory used by relocatable code, PIC, and static linking.</a></h2> | ||
| 984 | |||
| 985 | <p>The downside of standard dynamic linking is that it results in self-modifying | ||
| 986 | code. Although each executable's pages are mmaped() into a process' address | ||
| 987 | space from the executable file and are thus naturally shared between processes | ||
| 988 | out of the page cache, the library loader (ld-linux.so.2 or ld-uClibc.so.0) | ||
| 989 | writes to these pages to supply addresses for relocatable symbols. This | ||
| 990 | dirties the pages, triggering copy-on-write allocation of new memory for each | ||
| 991 | processes' dirtied pages.</p> | ||
| 992 | |||
| 993 | <p>One solution to this is Position Independent Code (PIC), a way of linking | ||
| 994 | a file so all the relocations are grouped together. This dirties fewer | ||
| 995 | pages (often just a single page) for each process' relocations. The down | ||
| 996 | side is this results in larger executables, which take up more space on disk | ||
| 997 | (and a correspondingly larger space in memory). But when many copies of the | ||
| 998 | same program are running, PIC dynamic linking trades a larger disk footprint | ||
| 999 | for a smaller memory footprint, by sharing more pages.</p> | ||
| 1000 | |||
| 1001 | <p>A third solution is static linking. A statically linked program has no | ||
| 1002 | relocations, and thus the entire executable is shared between all running | ||
| 1003 | instances. This tends to have a significantly larger disk footprint, but | ||
| 1004 | on a system with only one or two executables, shared libraries aren't much | ||
| 1005 | of a win anyway.</p> | ||
| 1006 | |||
| 1007 | <p>You can tell the glibc linker to display debugging information about its | ||
| 1008 | relocations with the environment variable "LD_DEBUG". Try | ||
| 1009 | "LD_DEBUG=help /bin/true" for a list of commands. Learning to interpret | ||
| 1010 | "LD_DEBUG=statistics cat /proc/self/statm" could be interesting.</p> | ||
| 1011 | |||
| 1012 | <p>For more on this topic, here's Rich Felker:</p> | ||
| 1013 | <blockquote> | ||
| 1014 | <p>Dynamic linking (without fixed load addresses) fundamentally requires | ||
| 1015 | at least one dirty page per dso that uses symbols. Making calls (but | ||
| 1016 | never taking the address explicitly) to functions within the same dso | ||
| 1017 | does not require a dirty page by itself, but will with ELF unless you | ||
| 1018 | use -Bsymbolic or hidden symbols when linking.</p> | ||
| 1019 | |||
| 1020 | <p>ELF uses significant additional stack space for the kernel to pass all | ||
| 1021 | the ELF data structures to the newly created process image. These are | ||
| 1022 | located above the argument list and environment. This normally adds 1 | ||
| 1023 | dirty page to the process size.</p> | ||
| 1024 | |||
| 1025 | <p>The ELF dynamic linker has its own data segment, adding one or more | ||
| 1026 | dirty pages. I believe it also performs relocations on itself.</p> | ||
| 1027 | |||
| 1028 | <p>The ELF dynamic linker makes significant dynamic allocations to manage | ||
| 1029 | the global symbol table and the loaded dso's. This data is never | ||
| 1030 | freed. It will be needed again if libdl is used, so unconditionally | ||
| 1031 | freeing it is not possible, but normal programs do not use libdl. Of | ||
| 1032 | course with glibc all programs use libdl (due to nsswitch) so the | ||
| 1033 | issue was never addressed.</p> | ||
| 1034 | |||
| 1035 | <p>ELF also has the issue that segments are not page-aligned on disk. | ||
| 1036 | This saves up to 4k on disk, but at the expense of using an additional | ||
| 1037 | dirty page in most cases, due to a large portion of the first data | ||
| 1038 | page being filled with a duplicate copy of the last text page.</p> | ||
| 1039 | |||
| 1040 | <p>The above is just a partial list of the tiny memory penalties of ELF | ||
| 1041 | dynamic linking, which eventually add up to quite a bit. The smallest | ||
| 1042 | I've been able to get a process down to is 8 dirty pages, and the | ||
| 1043 | above factors seem to mostly account for it (but some were difficult | ||
| 1044 | to measure).</p> | ||

| 1048 | <h2><a name="tips_kernel_headers"></a>Including kernel headers</h2> | ||
| 1049 | |||
| 1050 | <p>The "linux" or "asm" directories of /usr/include | ||
| 1051 | contain Linux kernel | ||
| 1052 | headers, so that the C library can talk directly to the Linux kernel. In | ||
| 1053 | a perfect world, applications shouldn't include these headers directly, but | ||
| 1054 | we don't live in a perfect world.</p> | ||
| 1055 | |||
| 1056 | <p>For example, Busybox's losetup code wants linux/loop.c because nothing else | ||
| 1057 | #defines the structures to call the kernel's loopback device setup ioctls. | ||
| 1058 | Attempts to cut and paste the information into a local busybox header file | ||
| 1059 | proved incredibly painful, because portions of the loop_info structure vary by | ||
| 1060 | architecture, namely the type __kernel_dev_t has different sizes on alpha, | ||
| 1061 | arm, x86, and so on. Meaning we either #include <linux/posix_types.h> or | ||
| 1062 | we hardwire #ifdefs to check what platform we're building on and define this | ||
| 1063 | type appropriately for every single hardware architecture supported by | ||
| 1064 | Linux, which is simply unworkable.</p> | ||
| 1065 | |||
| 1066 | <p>This is aside from the fact that the relevant type defined in | ||
| 1067 | posix_types.h was renamed to __kernel_old_dev_t during the 2.5 series, so | ||
| 1068 | to cut and paste the structure into our header we have to #include | ||
| 1069 | <linux/version.h> to figure out which name to use. (What we actually | ||
| 1070 | do is | ||
| 1071 | check if we're building on 2.6, and if so just use the new 64 bit structure | ||
| 1072 | instead to avoid the rename entirely.) But we still need the version | ||
| 1073 | check, since 2.4 didn't have the 64 bit structure.</p> | ||
| 1074 | |||
| 1075 | <p>The BusyBox developers spent <u>two years</u> trying to figure | ||
| 1076 | out a clean way to do all this. There isn't one. The losetup in the | ||
| 1077 | util-linux package from kernel.org isn't doing it cleanly either, they just | ||
| 1078 | hide the ugliness by nesting #include files. Their mount/loop.h | ||
| 1079 | #includes "my_dev_t.h", which #includes <linux/posix_types.h> | ||
| 1080 | and <linux/version.h> just like we do. There simply is no alternative. | ||
| 1081 | </p> | ||
| 1082 | |||
| 1083 | <p>Just because directly #including kernel headers is sometimes | ||
| 1084 | unavoidable doesn't me we should include them when there's a better | ||
| 1085 | way to do it. However, block copying information out of the kernel headers | ||

| 3 | <h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3> | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | <p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single | ||
| 6 | small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you | ||
| 7 | usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox | ||
| 8 | generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, | ||
| 9 | the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave | ||
| 10 | very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete | ||
| 11 | environment for any small or embedded system.</p> | ||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | <p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in | ||
| 14 | mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude | ||
| 15 | commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize | ||
| 16 | your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device | ||
| 17 | nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p> | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | <p>BusyBox is maintained by | ||
| 20 | <a href="mailto:vda.linux@googlemail.com">Denys Vlasenko</a>, | ||

| 3 | <h3>Prerequisites</h3> | ||
| 4 | <p> | ||
| 5 | <ul> | ||
| 6 | <li>Send several <em>sensible</em> patches to the <a href="lists.html" title="Mailing list">Mailing list</a>.</li> | ||
| 7 | <li>Help <em>users</em>, answer their questions, guide them, be helpful and friendly.</li> | ||
| 8 | <li>Repeat above. | ||
| 9 | </ul> | ||
| 10 | </p> | ||
| 11 | <p> | ||
| 12 | If you feel comfortable with the above and have proven to continually | ||
| 13 | fulfill these requirements, or somebody asks you to apply for write-access | ||
| 14 | to the repository who itself is maintainer of a project, then please apply | ||
| 15 | for an account (if needed). | ||
| 16 | </p> | ||
| 17 | <h3>Morris Dancing</h3> | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | <p>Subversion commit access requires an account on Morris. The server | ||
| 20 | behind busybox.net and uclibc.org. If you want to be able to commit things to | ||
| 21 | Subversion, first contribute some stuff to show you are serious, can handle | ||
| 22 | some responsibility, and that your patches don't generally need a lot of | ||
| 23 | cleanup. Then, very nicely ask one of us | ||
| 24 | (<a href="mailto:vda.linux@googlemail.com">Denys Vlasenko</a> for primarily BusyBox, or | ||
| 25 | <a href="mailto:rep.<literal>dot</>.nop@gmail.com">Bernhard Reutner-Fischer</a> primarily for uClibc) | ||
| 26 | for an account.</p> | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | <p>If you're approved for an account, you'll need to send an email from your | ||
| 29 | preferred contact email address with the username you'd like to use when | ||
| 30 | committing changes to GIT, and attach a public ssh key to access your account | ||
| 31 | with.</p> | ||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | <p>If you don't currently have an ssh version 2 DSA key at least 4096 bits | ||
| 34 | long, you can generate a key using the command | ||
| 35 | <b>ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t dsa</b> | ||
| 36 | and hitting enter at the prompts. | ||
| 37 | This will create the files <b>~/.ssh/id_dsa</b> and <b>~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub</b> | ||
| 38 | You must then send the content of 'id_dsa.pub' to me so I can set up your | ||
| 39 | account. (The content of 'id_dsa' should of course be kept secret, anyone | ||
| 40 | who has that can access any account that's installed your public key in | ||
| 41 | its <b>.ssh/authorized_keys</b> file.)</p> | ||
| 42 | |||
| 43 | <p>Note that if you would prefer to keep your communications with us | ||
| 44 | private, you can encrypt your email using | ||
| 45 | <a href="http://busybox.net/~vda/vda_pubkey.gpg">Denys' public key</a> or | ||
| 46 | <a href="http://uClibc.org/~aldot/gpg.asc">Bernhard's public key</a>. | ||
| 47 | </p> | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | <p>Once you are setup with an account, you will need to use your account to | ||
| 50 | checkout a copy of BusyBox from GIT:</p> | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | <p><b>git+ssh://username@git.busybox.net/git/busybox busybox.mine</b></p> | ||
| 53 | <p>or</p> | ||
| 54 | <p><b>git+ssh://username@git.uClibc.org/git/uClibc uClibc.tmp</b></p> | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | <p>You must change <em>username</em> to your own username, or omit | ||
| 57 | it if it's the same as your local username.</p> | ||
| 58 | |||
| 59 | <p>You can then enter the newly checked out project directory, make changes, | ||
| 60 | check your changes, diff your changes, revert your changes, and and commit your | ||
| 61 | changes using commands such as:</p> | ||
| 62 | |||
| 63 | <b><pre> | ||
| 64 | git diff | ||
| 65 | git format-patch -s | ||
| 66 | git status | ||
| 67 | git revert <revert-hash> | ||
| 68 | EDITOR=vi git commit -s | ||
| 69 | git log | ||
| 70 | git push -v --thin | ||
| 71 | git help | ||
| 72 | </pre></b> | ||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | <p>For additional detail on how to use | ||
| 75 | <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/">GIT</a>, please visit the | ||
| 76 | <a href="http://git.or.cz/">GIT overview</a> site. | ||
| 77 | You might also want to read online the <a | ||
| 78 | href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs">manpages</a> | ||
| 79 | or | ||
| 80 | <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html">tutorial</a>. | ||
| 81 | </p> | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | <p>A morris account also gives you a personal web page | ||
| 84 | (http://busybox.net/~username comes from ~/public_html on morris), and of | ||
| 85 | course a shell prompt you can ssh into (as a regular user, root access is | ||
| 86 | reserved for folks doing maintenancy stuff only). But keep in mind an | ||
| 87 | account on Morris is a | ||
| 88 | priviledge, not a requirement. Most contributors to busybox and uClibc | ||
| 89 | haven't got one, and accounts are handed out to make the project maintainers' | ||
| 90 | lives easier, not because "you deserve it".</p> | ||

| 4 | <h3><a name="license">BusyBox is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2</a></h3> | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | <p>BusyBox is licensed under <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html#SEC1">the | ||
| 7 | GNU General Public License</a> version 2, which is often abbreviated as GPLv2. | ||
| 8 | (This is the same license the Linux kernel is under, so you may be somewhat | ||
| 9 | familiar with it by now.)</p> | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | <p>A complete copy of the license text is included in the file LICENSE in | ||
| 12 | the BusyBox source code.</p> | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | <p><a href="products.html">Anyone thinking of shipping BusyBox as part of a | ||
| 15 | product</a> should be familiar with the licensing terms under which they are | ||
| 16 | allowed to use and distribute BusyBox. Read the full test of the GPL (either | ||
| 17 | through the above link, or in the file LICENSE in the busybox tarball), and | ||
| 18 | also read the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html">Frequently | ||
| 19 | Asked Questions about the GPL</a>.</p> | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | <p>Basically, if you distribute GPL software the license requires that you also | ||
| 22 | distribute the source code to that GPL-licensed software. So if you distribute | ||
| 23 | BusyBox without making the source code to the version you distribute available, | ||
| 24 | you violate the license terms, and thus infringe on the copyrights of BusyBox. | ||
| 25 | (This requirement applies whether or not you modified BusyBox; either way the | ||
| 26 | license terms still apply to you.) Read the license text for the details.</p> | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | <h3><a name="version">A note on GPL versions</a></h3> | ||
| 29 | |||
| 30 | <p>Version 2 of the GPL is the only version of the GPL which current versions | ||
| 31 | of BusyBox may be distributed under. New code added to the tree is licensed | ||
| 32 | GPL version 2, and the project's license is GPL version 2.</p> | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | <p>Older versions of BusyBox (versions 1.2.2 and earlier, up through about svn | ||
| 35 | 16112) included variants of the recommended | ||
| 36 | "GPL version 2 or (at your option) later versions" boilerplate | ||
| 37 | permission grant. Ancient versions of BusyBox | ||
| 38 | (before svn 49) did not specify any version at all, and section 9 of GPLv2 | ||
| 39 | (the most recent version at that time) says those old versions may be | ||
| 40 | redistributed under any version of GPL (including the obsolete V1). This was | ||
| 41 | conceptually similar to a dual license, except that the different licenses were | ||
| 42 | different versions of the GPL.</p> | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | <p>However, BusyBox has apparently always contained chunks of code that were | ||
| 45 | licensed under GPL version 2 only. Examples include applets written by Linus | ||
| 46 | Torvalds (util-linux/mkfs_minix.c and util_linux/mkswap.c) which stated they | ||
| 47 | "may be redistributed as per the Linux copyright" (which Linus | ||
| 48 | clarified in the | ||
| 49 | 2.4.0-pre8 release announcement in 2000 was GPLv2 only), and Linux kernel code | ||
| 50 | copied into libbb/loop.c (after Linus's announcement). There are probably | ||
| 51 | more, because all we used to check was that the code was GPL, not which | ||
| 52 | version. (Before the GPLv3 draft proceedings in 2006, it was a purely | ||
| 53 | theoretical issue that didn't come up much.)</p> | ||
| 54 | |||
| 55 | <p>To summarize: every version of BusyBox may be distributed under the terms of | ||
| 56 | GPL version 2. New versions (after 1.2.2) may <b>only</b> be distributed under | ||
| 57 | GPLv2, not under other versions of the GPL. Older versions of BusyBox might | ||
| 58 | (or might not) be distributable under other versions of the GPL. If you | ||
| 59 | want to use a GPL version other than 2, you should start with one of the old | ||
| 60 | versions such as release 1.2.2 or SVN 16112, and do your own homework to | ||
| 61 | identify and remove any code that can't be licensed under the GPL version you | ||
| 62 | want to use. New development is all GPLv2.</p> | ||
| 63 | |||
| 64 | <h3><a name="enforce">License enforcement</a></h3> | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | <p>BusyBox's copyrights are enforced by the <a | ||
| 67 | href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org/">Software Freedom Law Center</a> | ||
| 68 | (you can contact them at gpl@busybox.net), which | ||
| 69 | "accepts primary responsibility for enforcement of US copyrights on the | ||
| 70 | software... and coordinates international copyright enforcement efforts for | ||
| 71 | such works as necessary." If you distribute BusyBox in a way that doesn't | ||
| 72 | comply with the terms of the license BusyBox is distributed under, expect to | ||
| 73 | hear from these guys. Their entire reason for existing is to do pro-bono | ||
| 74 | legal work for free/open source software projects. (We used to list people who | ||
| 75 | violate the BusyBox license in <a href="shame.html">The Hall of Shame</a>, | ||
| 76 | but these days we find it much more effective to hand them over to the | ||
| 77 | lawyers.)</p> | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | <p>Our enforcement efforts are aimed at bringing people into compliance with | ||
| 80 | the BusyBox license. Open source software is under a different license from | ||
| 81 | proprietary software, but if you violate that license you're still a software | ||
| 82 | pirate and the law gives the vendor (us) some big sticks to play with. We | ||
| 83 | don't want monetary awards, injunctions, or to generate bad PR for a company, | ||
| 84 | unless that's the only way to get somebody that repeatedly ignores us to comply | ||
| 85 | with the license on our code.</p> | ||
| 86 | |||
| 87 | <h3><a name="good">A Good Example</a></h3> | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | <p>These days, <a href="http://www.linksys.com/">Linksys</a> is | ||
| 90 | doing a good job at complying with the GPL, they get to be an | ||
| 91 | example of how to do things right. Please take a moment and | ||
| 92 | check out what they do with | ||
| 93 | <a href="http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416836002&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper"> | ||
| 94 | distributing the firmware for their WRT54G Router.</a> | ||
| 95 | Following their example would be a fine way to ensure that you | ||
| 96 | have also fulfilled your licensing obligations.</p> | ||

| 45 | <ul> | ||
| 46 | <li>flash_eraseall: by Sebastian Andrzej Siewior (bigeasy AT linutronix.de)</li> | ||

| 48 | <li>ftpd: by Adam Tkac (vonsch AT gmail.com)</li> | ||
| 49 | <li>timeout: by Roberto Foglietta</li> | ||
| 50 | <li>ionice: adapted from Linux kernel example by Walter Harms</li> | ||
| 51 | <li>mkpasswd: synonym to cryptpw. mkpasswd is in Debian, OTOH cryptpw was added to busybox earlier. Trying to make both camps happy by making those two applets just aliases. They are command-line compatible</li> | ||
| 52 | </ul> | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | <p>Changes since previous release: | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | <p>lash and msh are deprecated, please migrate to hush. | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | <p>hush had many, many fixes and features added: here documents, arithmetic evaluation, function support, and all this works on NOMMU too, safely, including 100kb-sized `command` and here documents. Here document support, arithmetic evaluation, improved ${var} operations, other fixes are by Mike Frysinger (vapier AT gentoo.org). | ||

| 749 | <li>klogd: remove dependency on syslogd | ||

| 759 | <li>libbb: rework NOMMU helper API so that it makes more sense and easier to use | ||
| 760 | <li>libiproute: audit callgraph, shortcut error paths into die() functions | ||
| 761 | <li>lineedit: do not try to open NULL history file | ||
| 762 | <li>lineedit: nuke two unused variables and code which sets them | ||
| 763 | <li>login: remove setpgrp call (makes it work from shell prompt again); sanitize stdio descriptors (we are suid, need to be careful!) | ||

| 765 | <li>mount: fix incorrect usage of strtok (inadvertently used NULL sometimes) | ||

| 862 | <p>Since this is a x.x.0 release, it probably is a bit less "stable" | ||
| 863 | than usual.</p> | ||
| 864 | <p>Changes since previous release: | ||
| 865 | <ul> | ||
| 866 | <li>e2fsprogs are mostly removed from busybox. Some smaller parts remain, | ||
| 867 | the rest of it sits disabled in e2fsprogs/old_e2fsprogs/*, because | ||
| 868 | it's too bloated. Really. I'm afraid it's about the only way we can | ||
| 869 | ever get e2fsprogs cleaned up. | ||
| 870 | <li>less: many improvements. Now can display binary files | ||
| 871 | (although I expect it to have trouble with displays where 8bit chars | ||
| 872 | don't have 1-to-1 char/glyph relationship). Regexp search is not buggy | ||
| 873 | anymore. Less does not read entire input up-front. Reads input | ||
| 874 | as it appears (yay!). Works rather nice as man pager. I recommend it | ||
| 875 | for general use now. | ||
| 876 | <li>IPv6: generic support is in place, many networking applets are | ||
| 877 | upgraded to be IPv6 capable. Probably some work remains, but it is | ||
| 878 | already much better than what we had previously. | ||
| 879 | <li>arp: new applet (thanks to Eric Spakman). | ||
| 880 | <li>fakeidentd: non-forking standalone server part was taking ~90% | ||
| 881 | of the applet. Factored it out (in fact, rewrote it). | ||
| 882 | <li>syslogd: mostly rewritten. | ||
| 883 | <li>decompress_unzip, gzip: sanitized a bit. | ||
| 884 | <li>sed: better hadling of NULs | ||
| 885 | <li>httpd: stop adding our own "Content-type:" to CGI output | ||
| 886 | <li>chown: user.grp works again. | ||
| 887 | <li>minor bugfixes to: passwd, date, tftp, start_stop_daemon, tar, | ||
| 888 | ps, ifupdown, time, su, stty, awk, ping[6], sort,... | ||

| 925 | <li>tar: fix limitations which were preventing bbox tar usage | ||
| 926 | on big directories: long names and linknames, pax headers | ||
| 927 | (Linux kernel tarballs have that). Fixed a number of obscure bugs. | ||
| 928 | Raised max file limit (now 64Gb). Security fixes (/../ attacks). | ||
| 929 | <li>httpd: added -i (inetd), -f (foreground), support for | ||
| 930 | directory indexer CGI (example is included), bugfixes. | ||
| 931 | <li>telnetd: fixed/improved IPv6 support, inetd+standalone support, | ||

| 933 | <li>runit/*: new applets adapted from http://smarden.sunsite.dk/runit/ | ||
| 934 | (these are my personal favorite small-and-beautiful toys) | ||
| 935 | <li>minor bugfixes to: login, dd, mount, umount, chmod, chown, ln, udhcp, | ||

| 953 | BusyBox 1.2.2</a>.</p> | ||
| 954 | |||
| 955 | <p>This release has dozens of fixes backported from the ongoing development | ||
| 956 | branch. There are a couple of bugfixes to sed, two fixes to documentation | ||
| 957 | generation (BusyBox.html shouldn't have USE() macros in it anymore), fix | ||
| 958 | umount to report the right errno on failure and to umount block devices by | ||
| 959 | name with newer kernels, fix mount to handle symlinks properly, make mdev | ||
| 960 | delete device nodes when called for hotplug remove, fix a segfault | ||
| 961 | in traceroute, a minor portability fix to md5sum option parsing, a build | ||
| 962 | fix for httpd with old gccs, an options parsing tweak to hdparm, make test | ||
| 963 | fail gracefully when getgroups() returns -1, fix a race condition in | ||
| 964 | modprobe when two instances run at once (hotplug does this), make "tar xf | ||
| 965 | foo.tar dir/dir" extract all subdirectories, make our getty initialize the | ||
| 966 | terminal more like mingetty, an selinux build fix, an endianness fix in | ||
| 967 | ping6, fix for zcip defending addresses, clean up some global variables in | ||
| 968 | gzip to save memory, fix sulogin -tNNN, a help text tweak, several warning | ||
| 969 | fixes and build fixes, fixup dnsd a bit, and a partridge in a pear tree.</p> | ||
| 970 | |||
| 971 | <p>As <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/202106/">Linux Weekly News noted</a>, | ||
| 972 | this is my (Rob's) last release of BusyBox. The new maintainer is Denis | ||
| 973 | Vlasenko, I'm off to do <a href="http://landley.net/code">other things</a>. | ||
| 974 | </p> | ||
| 975 | </li> | ||
| 976 | |||
| 977 | <li><b>29 September 2006 -- New license email address.</b> | ||
| 978 | <p>The email address gpl@busybox.net is now the recommended way to contact | ||
| 979 | the Software Freedom Law Center to report BusyBox license violations.</p> | ||
| 980 | |||
| 981 | <li><b>31 July 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.1 (stable)</b> | ||
| 982 | <p>Since nobody seems to have objected too loudly over the weekend, I | ||
| 983 | might as well point you all at | ||
| 984 | <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.1.tar.bz2">Busybox | ||
| 985 | 1.2.1</a>, a bugfix-only release with no new features.</p> | ||
| 986 | |||
| 987 | <p>It has three shell fixes (two to lash: going "var=value" without | ||
| 988 | saying "export" should now work, plus a missing null pointer check, and | ||
| 989 | one to ash when redirecting output to a file that fills up.) Fix three | ||
| 990 | embarassing thinkos in the new dmesg command. Two build tweaks | ||
| 991 | (dependencies for the compressed usage messages and running make in the | ||
| 992 | libbb subdirectory). One fix to tar so it can extract git-generated | ||
| 993 | tarballs (rather than barfing on the pax extensions). And a partridge | ||
| 994 | in a pear... Ahem.</p> | ||
| 995 | |||
| 996 | <p>But wait, there's more! A passwd changing fix so an empty | ||
| 997 | gecos field doesn't trigger a false objection that the new passwd contains | ||
| 998 | the gecos field. Make all our setuid() and setgid() calls check the return | ||
| 999 | value in case somebody's using per-process resource limits that prevent | ||
| 1000 | a user from having too many processes (and thus prevent a process from | ||
| 1001 | switching away from root, in which case the process will now _die_ rather | ||
| 1002 | than continue with root privileges). A fix to adduser to make sure that | ||
| 1003 | /etc/group gets updated. And a fix to modprobe to look for modules.conf | ||
| 1004 | in the right place on 2.6 kernels.</p> | ||
| 1005 | |||
| 1006 | <li><b>30 June 2006 -- BusyBox 1.2.0</b> | ||
| 1007 | <p>The -devel branch has been stabilized and the result is | ||
| 1008 | <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.tar.bz2">Busybox | ||
| 1009 | 1.2.0</a>. Lots of stuff changed, I need to work up a decent changelog | ||
| 1010 | over the weekend.</p> | ||
| 1011 | |||
| 1012 | <p>I'm still experimenting with how long is best for the development | ||
| 1013 | cycle, and since we've got some largeish projects queued up I'm going to | ||
| 1014 | try a longer one. Expect 1.3.0 in December. (Expect 1.2.1 any time | ||

| 1017 | <p>Update: Here are <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.2.0.fixes.patch">the first few bug fixes</a> that will go into 1.2.1.</p> | ||

| 1020 | <p><a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.3.tar.bz2">BusyBox | ||
| 1021 | 1.1.3</a> is another bugfix release. It makes passwd use salt, fixes a | ||
| 1022 | memory freeing bug in ls, fixes "build all sources at once" mode, makes | ||
| 1023 | mount -a not abort on the first failure, fixes msh so ctrl-c doesn't kill | ||
| 1024 | background processes, makes patch work with patch hunks that don't have a | ||
| 1025 | timestamp, make less's text search a lot more robust (the old one could | ||
| 1026 | segfault), and fixes readlink -f when built against uClibc.</p> | ||
| 1027 | |||
| 1028 | <p>Expect 1.2.0 sometime next month, which won't be a bugfix release.</p> | ||
| 1029 | |||
| 1030 | <li><b>10 April 2006 -- BusyBox 1.1.2 (stable)</b> | ||
| 1031 | <p>You can now download <a href="http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.1.2.tar.bz2">BusyBox 1.1.2</a>, a bug fix release consisting of 11 patches | ||
| 1032 | backported from the development branch: Some build fixes, several fixes | ||
| 1033 | for mount and nfsmount, a fix for insmod on big endian systems, a fix for | ||
| 1034 | find -xdev, and a fix for comm. Check the file "changelog" in the tarball | ||
| 1035 | for more info.</p> | ||
| 1036 | |||
| 1037 | <p>The next new development release (1.2.0) is slated for June. A 1.1.3 | ||
| 1038 | will be released before then if more bug fixes crop up. (The new plan is | ||

| 1042 | <li><b>27 March 2006 -- Software Freedom Law Center representing BusyBox and uClibc</b> | ||
| 1043 | <p>One issue Erik Andersen wanted to resolve when handing off BusyBox | ||
| 1044 | maintainership to Rob Landley was license enforcement. BusyBox and | ||
| 1045 | uClibc's existing license enforcement efforts (pro-bono representation | ||
| 1046 | by Erik's father's law firm, and the | ||
| 1047 | <a href="http://www.busybox.net/shame.html">Hall of Shame</a>), haven't | ||
| 1048 | scaled to match the popularity of the projects. So we put our heads | ||
| 1049 | together and did the obvious thing: ask Pamela Jones of | ||
| 1050 | <a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> for suggestions. She | ||
| 1051 | referred us to the fine folks at softwarefreedom.org.</p> | ||

| 1054 | <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law Center</a> | ||
| 1055 | has agreed to represent BusyBox and uClibc. We join a number of other | ||

| 1065 | <p>Update: Rather than put out an endless stream of 1.1.1.x releases, | ||

| 1099 | |||
| 1100 | Bug reports sometimes get lost when posted to the mailing list. The | ||
| 1101 | developers of BusyBox are busy people, and have only so much they can keep | ||
| 1102 | in their brains at a time. In my case, I'm lucky if I can remember my own | ||
| 1103 | name, much less a bug report posted last week... To prevent your bug report | ||

| 1118 | |||
| 1119 | When you take a careful look at nearly every embedded Linux device or | ||
| 1120 | software distribution shipping today, you will find a copy of BusyBox. | ||
| 1121 | With countless routers, set top boxes, wireless access points, PDAs, and | ||
| 1122 | who knows what else, the future for Linux and BusyBox on embedded devices | ||
| 1123 | is looking very bright. | ||
| 1124 | |||
| 1125 | <p> | ||
| 1126 | |||
| 1127 | It is therefore with great satisfaction that I declare each and every | ||
| 1128 | device already shipping with BusyBox is now officially out of date. | ||
| 1129 | The highly anticipated release of BusyBox 1.00 has arrived! | ||
| 1130 | |||
| 1131 | <p> | ||
| 1132 | |||
| 1133 | Over three years in development, BusyBox 1.00 represents a tremendous | ||
| 1134 | improvement over the old 0.60.x stable series. Now featuring a Linux | ||
| 1135 | KernelConf based configuration system (as used by the Linux kernel), | ||
| 1136 | Linux 2.6 kernel support, many many new applets, and the development | ||
| 1137 | work and testing of thousands of people from around the world. | ||
| 1138 | |||
| 1139 | <p> | ||
| 1140 | |||
| 1141 | If you are already using BusyBox, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to | ||
| 1142 | BusyBox 1.00. If you are considering developing an embedded Linux device | ||
| 1143 | or software distribution, you may wish to investigate if using BusyBox is | ||
| 1144 | right for your application. If you need help getting started using | ||
| 1145 | BusyBox, if you wish to donate to help cover expenses, or if you find a bug | ||

| 1191 | it works nicely for what most everyone else is doing with it as well. | ||
| 1192 | There will eventually be a 1.0.1 anyway, so we might as well get on with | ||
| 1193 | it. No, BusyBox is not perfect. No piece of software ever is. And while | ||
| 1194 | there is still plenty that can be done to improve things, most of that work | ||

| 1273 | |||
| 1274 | Here goes yet another BusyBox pre-release... Please do not bother to send | ||
| 1275 | in patches supplying new features at this time. Only bug-fix patches will | ||
| 1276 | be accepted. If you have a cool new feature you would like to see | ||
| 1277 | supported, or if you have an amazing new applet you would like to submit, | ||
| 1278 | please wait and submit such things later. We really want to get a release | ||
| 1279 | out we can all be proud of. We are still aiming to finish off the -pre | ||
| 1280 | series in February and move on to the final 1.0.0 release... So if you | ||
| 1281 | spot any bugs, now would be an excellent time to send in a fix to the | ||
| 1282 | busybox mailing list. It would also be <b>very</b> helpful if people could | ||
| 1283 | help review the BusyBox documentation and submit improvements. It would be | ||
| 1284 | especially helpful if people could check that the features supported by the | ||
| 1285 | various applets match the features listed in the documentation. | ||

| 1296 | <li><b>4 February 2004 -- BusyBox 1.0.0-pre7 released</b><p> | ||
| 1297 | |||
| 1298 | There was a bug in -pre6 that broke argument parsing for a | ||
| 1299 | number of applets, since a variable was not being zeroed out | ||
| 1300 | properly. This release is primarily intended to fix that one | ||
| 1301 | problem. In addition, this release fixes several other | ||
| 1302 | problems, including a rewrite by mjn3 of the code for parsing | ||
| 1303 | the busybox.conf file used for suid handling, some shell updates | ||
| 1304 | from vodz, and a scattering of other small fixes. We are still | ||
| 1305 | aiming to finish off the -pre series in February and move on to | ||
| 1306 | the final 1.0.0 release... If you see any problems, of have | ||

| 1322 | |||
| 1323 | Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
| 1324 | series. This release adds a number of size optimizations, | ||
| 1325 | updates udhcp, fixes up 2.6 modutils support, updates ash | ||
| 1326 | and the shell command line editing, and the usual pile of | ||
| 1327 | bug fixes both large and small. Things appear to be | ||
| 1328 | settling down now, so with a bit of luck and some testing | ||
| 1329 | perhaps we can finish off the -pre series in February and | ||

| 1355 | |||
| 1356 | Here goes the next pre-release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
| 1357 | series. The most obvious thing in this release is a fix for | ||
| 1358 | a terribly stupid bug in mount that prevented it from working | ||
| 1359 | properly unless you specified the filesystem type. This | ||
| 1360 | release also fixes a few compile problems, updates udhcp, | ||
| 1361 | fixes a silly bug in fdisk, fixes ifup/ifdown to behave like | ||
| 1362 | the Debian version, updates devfsd, updates the 2.6.x | ||
| 1363 | modutils support, add a new 'rx' applet, removes the obsolete | ||
| 1364 | 'loadacm' applet, fixes a few tar bugs, fixes a sed bug, and | ||

| 1387 | series. This release includes major rework to sed, lots of | ||
| 1388 | rework on tar, a new tiny implementation of bunzip2, a new | ||
| 1389 | devfsd applet, support for 2.6.x kernel modules, updates to | ||
| 1390 | the ash shell, sha1sum and md5sum have been merged into a | ||

| 1418 | Here goes the third pre-release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
| 1419 | series. The last prerelease has held up quite well under | ||
| 1420 | testing, but a number of problems have turned up as the number | ||
| 1421 | of people using it has increased. Thanks everyone for all | ||

| 1426 | If you have submitted a patch or a bug report to the busybox | ||

| 1428 | patch was rejected, it is safe to say that your patch has | ||
| 1429 | somehow gotten lost or forgotten. That happens sometimes. | ||

| 1431 | mailing list! | ||
| 1432 | |||
| 1433 | <p> | ||
| 1434 | |||
| 1435 | The point of the "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of | ||
| 1436 | people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be | ||
| 1437 | fixed prior to the final 1.0.0 release. The main feature | ||
| 1438 | (besides additional testing) that is still still on the TODO | ||
| 1439 | list before the final BusyBox 1.0.0 release is sorting out the | ||
| 1440 | modutils issues. For the new 2.6.x kernels, we already have | ||
| 1441 | patches adding insmod and rmmod support and those need to be | ||
| 1442 | integrated. For 2.4.x kernels, for which busybox only supports | ||
| 1443 | a limited number of architectures, we may want to invest a bit | ||
| 1444 | more work before we cut 1.0.0. Or we may just leave 2.4.x | ||
| 1445 | module loading alone. | ||
| 1446 | |||
| 1447 | <p> | ||
| 1448 | |||
| 1449 | I had hoped this release would be out a month ago. And of | ||

| 1452 | out the door. Many thanks to Glenn McGrath (bug1) for | ||
| 1453 | stepping in and helping get a bunch of patches merged! I am | ||
| 1454 | not even going to state a date for releasing BusyBox 1.0.0 | ||
| 1455 | -pre4 (or the final 1.0.0). We're aiming for late September... | ||
| 1456 | But if this release proves as to be exceptionally stable (or | ||
| 1457 | exceptionally unstable!), the next release may be very soon | ||
| 1458 | indeed. | ||

| 1472 | Here goes another pre release for the new BusyBox stable | ||
| 1473 | series. The last prerelease (pre1) was given quite a lot of | ||
| 1474 | testing (thanks everyone!) which has helped turn up a number of | ||

| 1478 | |||

| 1481 | init again supports pivot_root, The 'reboot' 'halt' and | ||
| 1482 | 'poweroff' applets can now be used without using busybox init. | ||
| 1483 | an ifconfig buffer overflow was fixed, losetup now allows | ||
| 1484 | read-write loop devices, uClinux daemon support was added, the | ||
| 1485 | 'watchdog', 'fdisk', and 'kill' applets were rewritten, there were | ||

| 1515 | |||
| 1516 | The busybox development series has been under construction for | ||
| 1517 | nearly two years now. Which is just entirely too long... So | ||
| 1518 | it is with great pleasure that I announce the imminent release | ||
| 1519 | of a new stable series. Due to the huge number of changes | ||
| 1520 | since the last stable release (and the usual mindless version | ||
| 1521 | number inflation) I am branding this new stable series verison | ||
| 1522 | 1.0.x... | ||
| 1523 | <p> | ||
| 1524 | |||
| 1525 | The point of "-preX" versions is to get a larger group of | ||
| 1526 | people and vendors testing, so any problems that turn up can be | ||
| 1527 | fixed prior to the magic 1.0.0 release (which should happen | ||
| 1528 | later this month)... I plan to release BusyBox 1.0.0-pre2 next | ||
| 1529 | Monday (July 21st), and, if necessary, -pre3 on July 28th. | ||
| 1530 | Hopefully (i.e. unless some horrible catastrophic problem turns | ||

| 1654 | co-located directly at an ISP. To assist in the | ||
| 1655 | co-location effort, <a href= | ||
| 1656 | "http://www.codepoet.org/~markw">Mark Whitley</a> | ||
| 1657 | (author of busybox sed, cut, and grep) has donated | ||
| 1658 | his <a href= | ||
| 1659 | "http://www.netwinder.org/">NetWinder</a> computer | ||
| 1660 | for hosting busybox.net and uclibc.org. Once this | ||
| 1661 | system is co-located, the current speed problems | ||
| 1662 | should be completely eliminated. Hopefully, too, | ||
| 1663 | some of you will volunteer to set up some mirror | ||
| 1664 | sites, to help to distribute the load a bit.</p> | ||

| 1678 | --> | ||
| 1679 | Since some people expressed concern over BusyBox | ||
| 1680 | donations, let me assure you that no one is getting | ||
| 1681 | rich here. All BusyBox and uClibc donations will be | ||
| 1682 | spent paying for bandwidth and needed hardware | ||
| 1683 | upgrades. For example, Mark's NetWinder currently | ||
| 1684 | has just 64Meg of memory. As demonstrated when | ||
| 1685 | google spidered the site the other day, 64 Megs in | ||
| 1686 | not enough, so I'm going to be ordering 256Megs of | ||
| 1687 | ram and a larger hard drive for the box today. So | ||
| 1688 | far, donations received have been sufficient to | ||
| 1689 | cover almost all expenses. In the future, we may | ||
| 1690 | have co-location fees to worry about, but for now | ||
| 1691 | we are ok. A <b>HUGE thank-you</b> goes out to | ||
| 1692 | everyone that has contributed!<br> | ||

| 1697 | <b>20 November 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.2 released</b> | ||
| 1698 | |||
| 1699 | <p>We am very pleased to announce that the BusyBox | ||
| 1700 | 0.60.2 (stable) is now released to the world. This | ||
| 1701 | one is primarily a bugfix release for the stable | ||
| 1702 | series, and it should take care of most everyone's | ||
| 1703 | needs till we can get the nice new stuff we have | ||
| 1704 | been working on in CVS ready to release (with the | ||
| 1705 | wonderful new buildsystem). The biggest change in | ||
| 1706 | this release (beyond bugfixes) is the fact that msh | ||
| 1707 | (the minix shell) has been re-worked by Vladimir N. | ||
| 1708 | Oleynik (vodz) and so it no longer crashes when | ||
| 1709 | told to do complex things with backticks.</p> | ||
| 1710 | |||
| 1711 | <p>This release has been tested on x86, ARM, and | ||
| 1712 | powerpc using glibc 2.2.4, libc5, and uClibc, so it | ||
| 1713 | should work with just about any Linux system you | ||
| 1714 | throw it at. See the <a href= | ||
| 1715 | "downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for <small>most | ||
| 1716 | of</small> the details. The last release was | ||
| 1717 | <em>very</em> solid for people, and this one should | ||
| 1718 | be even better.</p> | ||

| 1744 | I've contacted the current owner of busybox.net and he is willing | ||
| 1745 | to sell the domain name -- for $250. He also owns busybox.org but | ||
| 1746 | will not part with it... I will then need to pay the registry fee | ||
| 1747 | for a couple of years and start paying for bandwidth, so this will | ||
| 1748 | initially cost about $300. I would like to host busybox.net on my | ||
| 1749 | home machine (codepoet.org) so I have full control over the system, | ||
| 1750 | but to do that would require that I increase the level of bandwidth | ||
| 1751 | I am paying for. Did you know that so far this month, there | ||
| 1752 | have been over 1.4 Gigabytes of busybox ftp downloads? I don't | ||
| 1753 | even <em>know</em> how much CVS bandwidth it requires. For the | ||
| 1754 | time being, Lineo has continued to graciously provide this | ||
| 1755 | bandwidth, despite the fact that I no longer work for them. If I | ||
| 1756 | start running this all on my home machine, paying for the needed bandwidth | ||
| 1757 | will start costing some money. | ||
| 1758 | <p> | ||
| 1759 | |||
| 1760 | I was going to pay it all myself, but my wife didn't like that | ||
| 1761 | idea at all (big surprise). It turns out <insert argument | ||
| 1762 | where she wins and I don't> she has better ideas | ||
| 1763 | about what we should spend our money on that don't involve | ||
| 1764 | busybox. She suggested I should ask for contributions on the | ||
| 1765 | mailing list and web page. So... | ||
| 1766 | <p> | ||
| 1767 | |||
| 1768 | I am hoping that if everyone could contribute a bit, we could pick | ||
| 1769 | up the busybox.net domain name and cover the bandwidth costs. I | ||
| 1770 | know that busybox is being used by a lot of companies as well as | ||
| 1771 | individuals -- hopefully people and companies that are willing to | ||
| 1772 | contribute back a bit. So if everyone could please help out, that | ||

| 1778 | <br> | ||
| 1779 | |||
| 1780 | This is a relatively minor bug fixing release that fixes | ||
| 1781 | up the bugs that have shown up in the stable release in | ||
| 1782 | the last few weeks. Fortunately, nothing <em>too</em> | ||
| 1783 | serious has shown up. This release only fixes bugs -- no | ||
| 1784 | new features, no new applets. So without further ado, | ||
| 1785 | here it is. Come and get it. | ||
| 1786 | <p> | ||
| 1787 | The | ||
| 1788 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> has all | ||

| 1795 | <li> <b>2 August 2001 -- BusyBox 0.60.0 released</b> | ||
| 1796 | <br> | ||
| 1797 | I am very pleased to announce the immediate availability of | ||
| 1798 | BusyBox 0.60.0. I have personally tested this release with libc5, glibc, | ||
| 1799 | and <a href="http://uclibc.org/">uClibc</a> on | ||
| 1800 | x86, ARM, and powerpc using linux 2.2 and 2.4, and I know a number | ||
| 1801 | of people using it on everything from ia64 to m68k with great success. | ||
| 1802 | Everything seems to be working very nicely now, so getting a nice | ||
| 1803 | stable bug-free(tm) release out seems to be in order. This releases fixes | ||
| 1804 | a memory leak in syslogd, a number of bugs in the ash and msh shells, and | ||
| 1805 | cleans up a number of things. | ||
| 1806 | |||
| 1807 | <p> | ||
| 1808 | |||
| 1809 | Those wanting an easy way to test the 0.60.0 release with uClibc can | ||
| 1810 | use <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a> | ||
| 1811 | to give it a try by downloading and compiling | ||
| 1812 | <a href="ftp://busybox.net/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. | ||
| 1813 | You don't have to be root or reboot your machine to run test this way. | ||
| 1814 | Preconfigured User-Mode Linux kernel source is also on busybox.net. | ||
| 1815 | <p> | ||
| 1816 | Another cool thing is the nifty <a href="downloads/tutorial/index.html"> | ||
| 1817 | BusyBox Tutorial</a> contributed by K Computing. This requires | ||
| 1818 | a ShockWave plugin (or standalone viewer), so you may want to grab the | ||
| 1819 | the GPLed shockwave viewer from <a href="http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/flash-0.4.10.tgz">here</a> | ||
| 1820 | to view the tutorial. | ||
| 1821 | <p> | ||
| 1822 | |||
| 1823 | Finally, In case you didn't notice anything odd about the | ||
| 1824 | version number of this release, let me point out that this release | ||
| 1825 | is <em>not</em> 0.53, because I bumped the version number up a | ||
| 1826 | bit. This reflects the fact that this release is intended to form | ||
| 1827 | a new stable BusyBox release series. If you need to rely on a | ||
| 1828 | stable version of BusyBox, you should plan on using the stable | ||
| 1829 | 0.60.x series. If bugs show up then I will release 0.60.1, then | ||
| 1830 | 0.60.2, etc... This is also intended to deal with the fact that | ||
| 1831 | the BusyBox build system will be getting a major overhaul for the | ||
| 1832 | next release and I don't want that to break products that people | ||
| 1833 | are shipping. To avoid that, the new build system will be | ||
| 1834 | released as part of a new BusyBox development series that will | ||
| 1835 | have some not-yet-decided-on odd version number. Once things | ||
| 1836 | stabilize and the new build system is working for everyone, then | ||
| 1837 | I will release that as a new stable release series. | ||

| 1873 | viewing <a href="busybox-growth.ps"> right here</a>. | ||
| 1874 | |||
| 1875 | <p> (Note that while the number of applets in Busybox has increased, you | ||

| 1883 | |||
| 1884 | BusyBox 0.51 (the "rock-solid release") is now out there. This | ||
| 1885 | release adds only 2 new applets: env and vi. The vi applet, | ||
| 1886 | contributed by Sterling Huxley, is very functional, and is only | ||
| 1887 | 22k. This release fixes 3 critical bugs in the 0.50 release. | ||
| 1888 | There were 2 potential segfaults in lash (the busybox shell) in | ||
| 1889 | the 0.50 release which are now fixed. Another critical bug in | ||
| 1890 | 0.50 which is now fixed: syslogd from 0.50 could potentially | ||
| 1891 | deadlock the init process and thereby break your entire system. | ||
| 1892 | <p> | ||
| 1893 | |||
| 1894 | There are a number of improvements in this release as well. For | ||
| 1895 | one thing, the wget applet is greatly improved. Dmitry Zakharov | ||
| 1896 | added FTP support, and Laurence Anderson make wget fully RFC | ||
| 1897 | compliant for HTTP 1.1. The mechanism for including utility | ||
| 1898 | functions in previous releases was clumsy and error prone. Now | ||
| 1899 | all utility functions are part of a new libbb library, which makes | ||
| 1900 | maintaining utility functions much simpler. And BusyBox now | ||
| 1901 | compiles on itanium systems (thanks to the Debian itanium porters | ||
| 1902 | for letting me use their system!). | ||

| 1951 | now behaves itself quite nicely. It really is quite usable as | ||
| 1952 | long as you don't expect it to provide Bourne shell grammer. | ||
| 1953 | Standard things like pipes, redirects, command line editing, and | ||
| 1954 | environment variable expansion work great. But we have found that | ||
| 1955 | this shell, while very usable, does not provide an extensible | ||
| 1956 | framework for adding in full Bourne shell behavior. So the first order of | ||
| 1957 | business as we begin working on the next BusyBox release will be to merge in the new shell | ||

| 1979 | Well, that simply didn't happen in time for this release. A new | ||

| 2026 | BusyBox shell can now also be used as a login shell. | ||
| 2027 | See the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> | ||
| 2028 | for complete details. | ||

| 2031 | <p> <li> <b>21 June 2000 -- BusyBox 0.45 released</b> | ||
| 2032 | <br> | ||
| 2033 | |||
| 2034 | This release has been slow in coming, but is very solid at this | ||
| 2035 | point. BusyBox now supports libc5 as well as GNU libc. This | ||
| 2036 | release provides the following new apps: cut, tr, insmod, ar, | ||
| 2037 | mktemp, setkeycodes, md5sum, uuencode, uudecode, which, and | ||
| 2038 | telnet. There are bug fixes for just about every app as well (see | ||
| 2039 | the <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for | ||
| 2040 | details). | ||
| 2041 | <p> | ||
| 2042 | Also, some exciting infrastructure news! Busybox now has its own | ||
| 2043 | <a href="lists/busybox/">mailing list</a>, | ||
| 2044 | publically browsable | ||
| 2045 | <a href="http://sources.busybox.net/index.py/trunk/busybox/">CVS tree</a>, | ||
| 2046 | anonymous | ||
| 2047 | <a href="cvs_anon.html">CVS access</a>, and | ||
| 2048 | for those that are actively contributing there is even | ||
| 2049 | <a href="cvs_write.html">CVS write access</a>. | ||
| 2050 | I think this will be a huge help to the ongoing development of BusyBox. | ||
| 2051 | <p> | ||
| 2052 | Also, for the curious, there is no 0.44 release. Somehow 0.44 got announced | ||
| 2053 | a few weeks ago prior to its actually being released. To avoid any confusion | ||
| 2054 | we are just skipping 0.44. | ||
| 2055 | <p> | ||
| 2056 | Many thanks go out to the many people that have contributed to this release | ||
| 2057 | of BusyBox (esp. Pavel Roskin)! | ||
| 2058 | |||
| 2059 | |||
| 2060 | <p> <li> <b>19 April 2000 -- syslogd bugfix</b> | ||
| 2061 | <br> | ||
| 2062 | Turns out that there was still a bug in busybox syslogd. | ||
| 2063 | For example, with the following test app: | ||
| 2064 | <pre> | ||
| 2065 | #include <syslog.h> | ||
| 2066 | |||
| 2067 | int do_log(char* msg, int delay) | ||
| 2068 | { | ||
| 2069 | openlog("testlog", LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON); | ||
| 2070 | while(1) { | ||
| 2071 | syslog(LOG_ERR, "%s: testing one, two, three\n", msg); | ||
| 2072 | sleep(delay); | ||
| 2073 | } | ||
| 2074 | closelog(); | ||
| 2075 | return(0); | ||
| 2076 | }; | ||
| 2077 | |||
| 2078 | int main(void) | ||
| 2079 | { | ||
| 2080 | if (fork()==0) | ||
| 2081 | do_log("A", 2); | ||
| 2082 | do_log("B", 3); | ||
| 2083 | } | ||
| 2084 | </pre> | ||
| 2085 | it should be logging stuff from both "A" and "B". As released in 0.43 only stuff | ||
| 2086 | from "A" would have been logged. This means that if init tries to log something | ||
| 2087 | while say ppp has the syslog open, init would block (which is bad, bad, bad). | ||
| 2088 | <p> | ||
| 2089 | Karl M. Hegbloom has created a fix for the problem. | ||
| 2090 | Thanks Karl! | ||
| 2091 | |||
| 2092 | |||
| 2093 | <p> <li> <b>18 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 released (finally!)</b> | ||
| 2094 | <br> | ||
| 2095 | I have finally gotten everything into a state where I feel pretty | ||
| 2096 | good about things. This is definitely the most stable, solid release | ||
| 2097 | so far. A lot of bugs have been fixed, and the following new apps | ||
| 2098 | have been added: sh, basename, dirname, killall, uptime, | ||
| 2099 | freeramdisk, tr, echo, test, and usleep. Tar has been completely | ||
| 2100 | rewritten from scratch. Bss size has also been greatly reduced. | ||
| 2101 | More details are available in the | ||
| 2102 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a>. | ||
| 2103 | Oh, and as a special bonus, I wrote some fairly comprehensive | ||
| 2104 | <em>documentation</em>, complete with examples and full usage information. | ||
| 2105 | |||
| 2106 | <p> | ||
| 2107 | Many thanks go out to the fine people that have helped by submitting patches | ||
| 2108 | and bug reports; particularly instrumental in helping for this release were | ||
| 2109 | Karl Hegbloom, Pavel Roskin, Friedrich Vedder, Emanuele Caratti, | ||
| 2110 | Bob Tinsley, Nicolas Pitre, Avery Pennarun, Arne Bernin, John Beppu, and Jim Gleason. | ||
| 2111 | There were others so if I somehow forgot to mention you, I'm very sorry. | ||
| 2112 | <p> | ||
| 2113 | |||
| 2114 | You can grab BusyBox 0.43 tarballs <a href="downloads">here</a>. | ||
| 2115 | |||
| 2116 | <p> <li> <b>9 April 2000 -- BusyBox 0.43 pre release</b> | ||
| 2117 | <br> | ||
| 2118 | Unfortunately, I have not yet finished all the things I want to | ||
| 2119 | do for BusyBox 0.43, so I am posting this pre-release for people | ||
| 2120 | to poke at. This contains my complete rewrite of tar, which now weighs in at | ||
| 2121 | 5k (7k with all options turned on) and works for reading and writing | ||
| 2122 | tarballs (which it does correctly for everything I have been able to throw | ||
| 2123 | at it). Tar also (optionally) supports the "--exclude" option (mainly because | ||
| 2124 | the Linux Router Project folks asked for it). This also has a pre-release | ||
| 2125 | of the micro shell I have been writing. This pre-release should be stable | ||
| 2126 | enough for production use -- it just isn't a release since I have some structural | ||
| 2127 | changes I still want to make. | ||
| 2128 | <p> | ||
| 2129 | The pre-release can be found <a href="downloads">here</a>. | ||
| 2130 | Please let me know ASAP if you find <em>any</em> bugs. | ||
| 2131 | |||
| 2132 | <p> <li> <b>28 March 2000 -- Andersen Baby Boy release</b> | ||
| 2133 | <br> | ||
| 2134 | I am pleased to announce that on Tuesday March 28th at 5:48pm, weighing in at 7 | ||
| 2135 | lbs. 12 oz, Micah Erik Andersen was born at LDS Hospital here in Salt Lake City. | ||
| 2136 | He was born in the emergency room less then 5 minutes after we arrived -- and | ||
| 2137 | it was such a relief that we even made it to the hospital at all. Despite the | ||
| 2138 | fact that I was driving at an amazingly unlawful speed and honking at everybody | ||
| 2139 | and thinking decidedly unkind thoughts about the people in our way, my wife | ||
| 2140 | (inconsiderate of my feelings and complete lack of medical training) was lying | ||
| 2141 | down in the back seat saying things like "I think I need to start pushing now" | ||
| 2142 | (which she then proceeded to do despite my best encouraging statements to the | ||
| 2143 | contrary). | ||
| 2144 | <p> | ||
| 2145 | Anyway, I'm glad to note that despite the much-faster-than-we-were-expecting | ||
| 2146 | labor, both Shaunalei and our new baby boy are doing wonderfully. | ||
| 2147 | <p> | ||
| 2148 | So now that I am done with my excuse for the slow release cycle... | ||
| 2149 | Progress on the next release of BusyBox has been slow but steady. I expect | ||
| 2150 | to have a release sometime during the first week of April. This release will | ||
| 2151 | include a number of important changes, including the addition of a shell, a | ||
| 2152 | re-write of tar (to accommodate the Linux Router Project), and syslogd can now | ||
| 2153 | accept multiple concurrent connections, fixing lots of unexpected blocking | ||
| 2154 | problems. | ||
| 2155 | |||
| 2156 | |||
| 2157 | <p> <li> <b>11 February 2000 -- BusyBox 0.42 released</b> | ||
| 2158 | <br> | ||
| 2159 | |||
| 2160 | This is the most solid BusyBox release so far. Many, many | ||
| 2161 | bugs have been fixed. See the | ||
| 2162 | <a href="downloads/Changelog">changelog</a> for details. | ||
| 2163 | |||
| 2164 | Of particular interest, init will now cleanly unmount | ||
| 2165 | filesystems on reboot, cp and mv have been rewritten and | ||
| 2166 | behave much better, and mount and umount no longer leak | ||
| 2167 | loop devices. Many thanks go out to Randolph Chung, | ||
| 2168 | Karl M. Hegbloom, Taketoshi Sano, and Pavel Roskin for | ||
| 2169 | their hard work on this release of BusyBox. Please pound | ||
| 2170 | on it and let me know if you find any bugs. | ||
| 2171 | |||

| 2174 | |||
| 2175 | This release includes bugfixes to cp, mv, logger, true, false, | ||
| 2176 | mkdir, syslogd, and init. New apps include wc, hostid, | ||
| 2177 | logname, tty, whoami, and yes. New features include loop device | ||
| 2178 | support in mount and umount, and better TERM handling by init. | ||

| 2185 | syslogd, head, logger, du, grep, cp, mv, sed, dmesg, ls, kill, gunzip, and mknod. | ||
| 2186 | New apps include sort, uniq, lsmod, rmmod, fbset, and loadacm. | ||
| 2187 | In particular, this release fixes an important bug in tar which | ||

| 5 | |||
| 6 | <p>This page is no longer updated, these days we forward this sort of | ||
| 7 | thing to the <a href="http://www.softwarefreedom.org">Software Freedom Law | ||
| 8 | Center</a> instead.</p> | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | <p>The following products and/or projects appear to use BusyBox, but do not | ||
| 11 | appear to release source code as required by the <a | ||
| 12 | href="/license.html">BusyBox license</a>. This is a violation of the law! | ||
| 13 | The distributors of these products are invited to contact <a href= | ||
| 14 | "mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik Andersen</a> if they have any confusion | ||
| 15 | as to what is needed to bring their products into compliance, or if they have | ||
| 16 | already brought their product into compliance and wish to be removed from the | ||
| 17 | Hall of Shame. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | <p> | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | Here are the details of <a href="/license.html">exactly how to comply | ||
| 22 | with the BusyBox license</a>, so there should be no question as to | ||
| 23 | exactly what is expected. | ||
| 24 | Complying with the Busybox license is easy and completely free, so the | ||
| 25 | companies listed below should be ashamed of themselves. Furthermore, each | ||
| 26 | product listed here is subject to being legally ordered to cease and desist | ||
| 27 | distribution for violation of copyright law, and the distributor of each | ||
| 28 | product is subject to being sued for statutory copyright infringement damages | ||
| 29 | of up to $150,000 per work plus legal fees. Nobody wants to be sued, and <a | ||
| 30 | href="mailto:andersen@codepoet.org">Erik</a> certainly would prefer to spend | ||
| 31 | his time doing better things than sue people. But he will sue if forced to | ||
| 32 | do so to maintain compliance. | ||
| 33 | |||
| 34 | <p> | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | Do everyone a favor and don't break the law -- if you use busybox, comply with | ||
| 37 | the busybox license by releasing the source code with your product. | ||

| 4 | |||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | <h3>Patches</h3> | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | <p>You can <a href="downloads/">download</a> fixes for particular releases | ||
| 10 | of busybox, e.g. downloads/fixes-<em>major</em>-<em>minor</em>-<em>patch</em>/ | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | <h3>Anonymous Subversion Access</h3> | ||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | We allow anonymous (read-only) Subversion (svn) access to everyone. To | ||
| 15 | grab a copy of the latest version of BusyBox using anonymous svn access: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | <pre> | ||
| 18 | svn co svn://busybox.net/trunk/busybox</pre> | ||
| 19 | |||
| 20 | <p> | ||
| 21 | The <em>stable branches</em> can be obtained with | ||
| 22 | <pre> | ||
| 23 | svn co svn://busybox.net/branches/busybox_1_NN_stable | ||
| 24 | </pre> | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | <p> | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | If you are not already familiar with using Subversion, I recommend you visit <a | ||
| 29 | href="http://subversion.tigris.org/">the Subversion website</a>. You might | ||
| 30 | also want to read online or buy a copy of <a | ||
| 31 | href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/">the Subversion Book</a>. If you are | ||
| 32 | already comfortable with using CVS, you may want to skip ahead to the <a | ||
| 33 | href="http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/apa.html">Subversion for CVS Users</a> | ||
| 34 | part of the Subversion Book. | ||
| 35 | |||
| 36 | <p> | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | Once you've checked out a copy of the source tree, you can update your source | ||
| 39 | tree at any time so it is in sync with the latest and greatest by entering your | ||
| 40 | BusyBox directory and running the command: | ||
| 41 | |||
| 42 | <pre> | ||
| 43 | svn update</pre> | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | Because you've only been granted anonymous access to the tree, you won't be | ||
| 46 | able to commit any changes. Changes can be submitted for inclusion by posting | ||
| 47 | them to the BusyBox mailing list. For those that are actively contributing | ||
| 48 | <a href="developer.html">Subversion commit access</a> can be made available. | ||

| 4 | <h3>External Tiny Utilities</h3> | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | This is a list of tiny utilities whose functionality is not provided by | ||
| 7 | busybox. If you have additional suggestions, please send an e-mail to our | ||
| 8 | dev mailing list. | ||
| 9 | |||
| 10 | <br><br> | ||
| 11 | |||
| 12 | <table> | ||
| 13 | <tr> | ||
| 14 | <th>Feature</th> | ||
| 15 | <th>Utilities</th> | ||
| 16 | </tr> | ||
| 17 | |||
| 18 | <tr> | ||
| 19 | <td>SSH</td> | ||
| 20 | <td><a href="http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/">Dropbear</a> has both an ssh server and an ssh client that together come in around 100k. It has no external | ||
| 21 | dependencies (I.E. it does not depend on OpenSSL, using a built-in copy of | ||
| 22 | LibTomCrypt instead). It's actively maintained, with a quiet but responsive | ||
| 23 | mailing list.</td> | ||
| 24 | </tr> | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | <tr> | ||
| 27 | <td>SMTP</td> | ||
| 28 | <td><a href="ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/ssmtp/">ssmtp</a> is an extremely simple Mail Transfer Agent.</td> | ||

| 30 | |||
| 31 | <tr> | ||
| 32 | <td>ntp</td> | ||
| 33 | <td><a href="http://doolittle.icarus.com/ntpclient/">ntpclient</a> is a | ||
| 34 | tiny ntp client. BusyBox has rdate to set the date from a remote server, but | ||
| 35 | if you want a daemon to repeatedly adjust the clock over time, try that.</td> | ||
| 36 | </table> | ||
| 37 | |||
| 38 | <p>In a gui environment, you'll probably want a web browser. | ||
| 39 | <a href="http://www.konqueror.org/embedded/">Konqueror Embedded</a> requires QT | ||
| 40 | (or QT Embedded), but not KDE. The <a href="http://www.dillo.org/">Dillo</a> | ||
| 41 | requires GTK+, but not Gnome. Or you can try the <a href="http://links.twibright.com/">graphical | ||
| 42 | version of links</a>.</p> | ||
| 43 | |||
| 44 | <h3>SCRIPTING LANGUAGES</h3> | ||
| 45 | <p>Although busybox has built-in support for shell scripts, plenty of other | ||
| 46 | small scripting languages are available on the net. A few examples:</p> | ||
| 47 | <table> | ||
| 48 | <tr> | ||
| 49 | <th>language</th> | ||
| 50 | <th>description</th> | ||
| 51 | </tr> | ||

| 53 | <td> <a href="http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol5_3/tpj0503-0003.html">microperl</a> </td> | ||
| 54 | <td> A small standalone perl interpreter that can be built from the perl source | ||
| 55 | s via "make -f Makefile.micro". If you really feel the need for perl on an embe | ||
| 56 | dded system, this is where to start. | ||
| 57 | </tr> | ||
| 58 | <tr> | ||
| 59 | |||
| 60 | <td><a href="http://www.lua.org/pil/">Lua</a></td> | ||
| 61 | <td>If you just want a small embedded scripting language to write <em>new</em> | ||
| 62 | code in, this Brazilian import is lightweight, fairly popular, and has | ||
| 63 | a complete book about it online.</td> | ||
| 64 | </tr> | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | <tr> | ||
| 67 | <td><a href="http://www.star.le.ac.uk/%7Etjg/rc/">rc</a></td> | ||
| 68 | <td>The PLAN9 shell. Not compatible with conventional bourne shell syntax, | ||
| 69 | but fairly lightweight and small.</td> | ||
| 70 | </tr> | ||
| 71 | |||
| 72 | </tr> | ||
| 73 | <tr> | ||
| 74 | <td><a href="http://www.forth.org/">forth</a></td> | ||
| 75 | <td>A well known language for fast and small programs, decades old but still | ||
| 76 | in use for everything from OpenBIOS to computer controlled engine timing.</td> | ||
| 77 | </tr> | ||
| 78 | </table> | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | <p>For more information, you probably want to look at | ||
| 81 | <a href="http://buildroot.uclibc.org/">buildroot</a> and | ||
| 82 | <a href="http://gentoo-wiki.com/TinyGentoo">TinyGentoo</a>, which | ||
| 83 | build and use tiny utilities for all sorts of things.</p> | ||
