* Minimal maintenance to make this mess slightly less confusing:schwarze2020-04-261-10/+10
| | | | | | | queue -> list; mention "intrusive"; element -> member at one place; delete a bogus remark that maybe referred to a long-gone implementation in VAX assembly code. Much more could be improved, but i don't want to waste too much time here.
* fix the description; from andras farkasjmc2020-04-261-5/+4

* correct Research Unix edition "appeared in" use in HISTORYjsg2020-02-081-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Starting from "Combined Table of Contents" in Doug McIlroy's "A Research UNIX Reader" a table of which edition manuals appeared in. Checked against manuals from bitsavers/TUHS and source from TUHS where available. Ingo points out there are cases where something is included but not documented until a later release. bcd(6) v6 v7 printf(3) v2 v4 abort(3) v5 v6 system(3) v6 v7 fmod(3) v5 v6 ok schwarze@
* Document how to make getopt_long(3) process arguments in order and stopstsp2020-01-131-2/+18

* drand48(3) returns values in [0.0, 1.0).tb2019-12-201-3/+3
| | | | | | From j@bitminer.ca with input from Andras Farkas, deraadt, joerg@netbsd "fix however you feel best!" jmc
* The file passed to realpath(3) must exists, adjust man page to newbluhm2019-12-111-3/+3

| | | | ok guenther jmc
* The last consumer of pre-posix realpath behaviour has stoppedderaadt2019-07-051-34/+3
| | | | | | | | requiring it (sftp-server). Remove the /exists///// behaviour from here. The /nonexistant behaviour remains in the kernel and needs to be shot next. There may be ports fallout, but we doubt it. ok beck djm
* tweak previous; ok guentherjmc2019-06-301-5/+6

* Document that getcwd() and realpath() are built on system calls thatguenther2019-06-291-2/+16
| | | | | | | have a different calling convention than the standard function...as seen in kdump output. ok deraadt@ schwarze@
* When system calls indicate an error they return -1, not some arbitraryderaadt2019-06-281-2/+2
| | | | | | value < 0. errno is only updated in this case. Change all (most?) callers of syscalls to follow this better, and let's see if this strictness helps us in the future.
* The C89 standard only requires that atexit(3) returns a non-zero valueschwarze2019-06-271-5/+12
| | | | | | on error, so checking for -1 only is potentially non-portable. Also mention that the C89 standard does not require errno to be set. OK deraadt@ millert@
* Remove old realpath(3), and the userland-vs-kernel realpath verificationderaadt2019-06-171-334/+44
| | | | | | | | code. We now user the simple userland wrapper on top of __realpath(2). The non-POSIX behaviour still remains, that is the next component to fix. From a diff by beck, but I managed to chainsaw it a bit further. Tested in snaps for a couple of days. ok beck
* oops - missing .El in previous;jmc2019-06-151-1/+2

* realpath(3) doesn't use lstat(2), readlink(2), or getcwd(3) anymore,deraadt2019-06-151-21/+39
| | | | | | it is a thin wrapper over the syscall __readlink(2). Improve the list of possible errors. ok millert beck jmc
* Complete the ld.so boot cleanup: move most libc initialization fromguenther2019-06-021-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _csu_finish() to _libc_preinit(), which is an .init_array function in shared libc (and mark it INITFIRST) or a .preinit_array function in static libc, grabbing the _dl_cb callback there from ld.so. Then in _csu_finish(), invoke the dl_clean_boot() callback to free ld.so's startup bits before main() gets control. Other cleanups this permits: - move various startup structures into .data.rel.ro - the dl* stubs in libc can be strong and call the callbacks provided via _dl_cb - no longer need to conditionalize dlctl() calls on presence of _DYNAMIC original concept and full diff ok kettenis@ ok deraadt@
* __realpath(2) appears to have improved, so re-enable the code thatderaadt2019-05-301-3/+136
| | | | | checks userland-parsing vs kernel parsing, we are hoping to spot another bug..
* There are some bugs in __realpath(2) -- it isn't quite ready so disablederaadt2019-05-291-136/+3
| | | | calling it until those are fixed.
* Enable the use of the kernel __realpath() system call in the libc wrapper.beck2019-05-281-3/+136
| | | | | | | | For now, this also still uses the existing realpath implmentation and emits a syslog if we see differening results. Once we have run with that for a little while we will remove the old code ok deraadt@
* Only override size of chunk if we're not given the actual length.otto2019-05-231-2/+3

* For all functions known to be infected by LC_NUMERIC, add shortschwarze2019-01-162-4/+22
| | | | | | | | CAVEATS pointing to the new CAVEATS section in setlocale(3). Make those in wprintf(3) and wscanf(3) more concise since duplicate information is a bad idea. Incompleteness of information originally pointed out by millert@. OK millert@
* Move default numer of pools in the multi-threaded case to 8. Various testsotto2019-01-101-2/+2

* Introducing malloc_usable_size() was a mistake. While some otherotto2018-11-212-105/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | libs have it, it is a function that is considered harmful, so: Delete malloc_usable_size(). It is a function that blurs the line between malloc managed memory and application managed memory and exposes some of the internal workings of malloc. If an application relies on that, it is likely to break using another implementation of malloc. If you want usable size x, just allocate x bytes. ok deraadt@ and other devs
