2021-07-08io: Add closefrom [BZ #10353]Adhemerval Zanella
The function closes all open file descriptors greater than or equal to input argument. Negative values are clamped to 0, i.e, it will close all file descriptors. As indicated by the bug report, this is a common symbol provided by different systems (Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD) and, although its has inherent issues with not taking in consideration internal libc file descriptors (such as syslog), this is also a common feature used in multiple projects [1][2][3][4][5]. The Linux fallback implementation iterates over /proc and close all file descriptors sequentially. Although it was raised the questioning whether getdents on /proc/self/fd might return disjointed entries when file descriptor are closed; it does not seems the case on my testing on multiple kernel (v4.18, v5.4, v5.9) and the same strategy is used on different projects [1][2][3][5]. Also, the interface is set a fail-safe meaning that a failure in the fallback results in a process abort. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu on kernel 5.11 and 4.15.

2021-05-05nptl: Consolidate async cancel enable/disable implementation in libcFlorian Weimer
Previously, the source file nptl/cancellation.c was compiled multiple times, for libc, libpthread, librt. This commit switches to a single implementation, with new __pthread_enable_asynccancel@@GLIBC_PRIVATE, __pthread_disable_asynccancel@@GLIBC_PRIVATE exports. The almost-unused CANCEL_ASYNC and CANCEL_RESET macros are replaced by LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC and LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC macros. They call the __pthread_* functions unconditionally now. The macros are still needed because shared code uses them; Hurd has different definitions. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella <adhemerval.zanella@linaro.org>

2019-10-30Revise the documentation of simple calendar time.Zack Weinberg
This is a thorough revision of all the material relating to the functions time, stime, gettimeofday, settimeofday, clock_gettime, clock_getres, clock_settime, and difftime, spilling over into the discussion of time-related data types (which now get their own section) and touching the adjtime family as well (which deserves its own thorough revision, but I'd have to do a bunch of research first). Substantive changes are: * Document clock_gettime, clock_getres, and clock_settime. (Only CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC are documented; the others are either a bit too Linux-specific, or have more to do with measuring CPU/processor time. That section _also_ deserves its own thorough revision but again I'd have to do a bunch of research first.) * Present gettimeofday, settimeofday, and struct timeval as obsolete relative to clock_*. * Remove the documentation of struct timezone. Matching POSIX, say that the type of the second argument to gettimeofday and settimeofday is [const] void *. * Clarify ISO C and POSIX's requirements on time_t. Clarify the circumstances under which difftime is equivalent to simple subtraction. * Consolidate documentation of most of the time-related data types into a new section "Time Types," right after "Time Basics." (The exceptions are struct tm, which stays in "Broken-down Time," and struct times, which stays in "Processor And CPU Time." * The "Elapsed Time" section is now called "Calculating Elapsed Time" and includes only difftime and the discussion of how to compute timeval differences by hand. * Fold the "Simple Calendar Time," "High Resolution Calendar," and "High Accuracy Clock" sections together into two new sections titled "Getting the Time" and "Setting and Adjusting the Time."

2018-06-26Fix Linux fcntl OFD locks for non-LFS architectures (BZ#20251)Adhemerval Zanella
This patch fixes the OFD ("file private") locks for architectures that support non-LFS flock definition (__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 not defined). The issue in this case is both F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} and F_{SET,GET}L{W}K64 expects a flock64 argument and when using old F_OFD_* flags with a non LFS flock argument the kernel might interpret the underlying data wrongly. Kernel idea originally was to avoid using such flags in non-LFS syscall, but since GLIBC uses fcntl with LFS semantic as default it is possible to provide the functionality and avoid the bogus struct kernel passing by adjusting the struct manually for the required flags. The idea follows other LFS interfaces that provide two symbols: 1. A new LFS fcntl64 is added on default ABI with the usual macros to select it for FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. 2. The Linux non-LFS fcntl use a stack allocated struct flock64 for F_OFD_{GETLK,SETLK,SETLKW} copy the results on the user provided struct. 3. Keep a compat symbol with old broken semantic for architectures that do not define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T. So for architectures which defines __USE_FILE_OFFSET64, fcntl64 will aliased to fcntl and no adjustment would be required. So to actually use F_OFD_* with LFS support the source must be built with LFS support (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). Also F_OFD_SETLKW command is handled a cancellation point, as for F_SETLKW{64}.

2017-06-15manual: Replace summary.awk with summary.pl.Rical Jasan
The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete wrt. header and standards annotations. Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and standard combination. summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected syntax of @standards.

2017-05-31posix: Implement preadv2 and pwritev2Adhemerval Zanella
This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument. As for preadv/pwritev both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API. For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported flags is troublesome: * We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using fcntl are silently ignored). * IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance). So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev. Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with flags sets to 0). The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it call preadv/writev. Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine), it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails. The idea is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.

2016-12-21manual: Convert @tables of variables to @vtables.Rical Jasan
Texinfo @vindex commands add entries to the Variable and Constant Macro Index. Similarly, @items in @vtables are automatically indexed. A number of @tables exist where all @items are @vindexed or all @items are variables, but not indexed, suggesting an optimization by converting such @tables to @vtables and dropping the @vindex. Using a @vtable provides a context for processing @items whereby it can be known the @items should have header and standards annotations. This commit converts @tables of such @items to @vtables in order to establish a framework for automated processing. A pleasant consequence of these changes is that @items previously lacking a @vindex are present in the Variable and Constant Macro Index now. @vindex entries previously detected by summary.awk will still be detected as @items with appropriate annotations. The @vtable of the NSS databases is converted to a @table because 1) those @items are not variables (and will no longer appear in the Variable and Constant Macro Index) and 2) they do not need header and standards annotations, so the incorrect context is fixed. * manual/nss.texi: Change incorrect @vtable to @table. * manual/arith.texi: Convert @tables of variables to @vtables and remove unnecessary indexing. * manual/filesys.texi: Likewise. * manual/llio.texi: Likewise. * manual/memory.texi: Likewise. * manual/process.texi: Likewise. * manual/resource.texi: Likewise. * manual/search.texi: Likewise. * manual/signal.texi: Likewise. * manual/socket.texi: Likewise. * manual/stdio.texi: Likewise. * manual/sysinfo.texi: Likewise. * manual/syslog.texi: Likewise. * manual/terminal.texi: Likewise. * manual/time.texi: Likewise. * manual/users.texi: Likewise.

2014-11-06manual/llio.texi: Comment on write atomicity.Carlos O'Donell
We add Linux-realted comments about the atomicity of write with respect to file offsets. As of Linux 3.14 the file offset update is atomic. That means that multiple threads calling the write syscall can not possibly get the same file offset. Therefore the writes should not overlap and data should not be lost as is required by POSIX.
