* 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 RES_USE_INET6 descriptionjca2020-04-251-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | The previous wording implied this option does nothing, which is wrong. This option does affect the way gethostbyname(3) works on OpenBSD (return IPv6 addresses if available). On some systems, it also introduces IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses, a "feature" that we don't support. ok deraadt@ eric@

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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@

* When system calls indicate an error they return -1, not some arbitraryderaadt2019-06-284-12/+12
| | | | | | 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

* 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

* realpath(3) doesn't use lstat(2), readlink(2), or getcwd(3) anymore,deraadt2019-06-151-21/+39

* Complete the ld.so boot cleanup: move most libc initialization fromguenther2019-06-022-8/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _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@

* 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@

* In the incredibly unbelievable circumstance where _rs_init() fails toderaadt2019-03-241-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | allocate pages, don't call abort() because of corefile data leakage concerns, but simply _exit(). The reasoning is _rs_init() will only fail if someone finds a way to apply specific pressure against this failure point, for the purpose of leaking information into a core which they can read. We don't need a corefile in this instance to debug that. So take this "lever" away from whoever in the future wants to do that.

* New futex(2) based rwlock implementation based on the mutex code.mpi2019-02-131-1/+12
