2016-03-07posix: execvpe cleanupAdhemerval Zanella
This patch removes all the dynamic allocation on execvpe code and instead use direct stack allocation. This is QoI approach to make it possible use in scenarios where memory is shared with parent (vfork or clone with CLONE_VM). For default process spawn (script file without a shebang), stack allocation is bounded by NAME_MAX plus PATH_MAX plus 1. Large file arguments returns an error (ENAMETOOLONG). This differs than current GLIBC pratice in general, but it used to limit stack allocation for large inputs. Also, path in PATH environment variable larger than PATH_MAX are ignored. The shell direct execution exeception, where execve returns ENOEXEC, might requires a large stack allocation due large input argument list. Tested on i686, x86_64, powerpc64le, and aarch64. * posix/execvpe.c (__execvpe): Remove dynamic allocation. * posix/Makefile (tests): Add tst-execvpe{1,2,3,4,5,6}. * posix/tst-execvp1.c (do_test): Use a macro to call execvp. * posix/tst-execvp2.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvp3.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvp4.c (do_test): Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe1.c: New file. * posix/tst-execvpe2.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe3.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe4.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe5.c: Likewise. * posix/tst-execvpe6.c: Likewise.

2015-10-20Convert 24 more function definitions to prototype style (array parameters).Joseph Myers
This automatically-generated patch converts 24 function definitions in glibc from old-style K&R to prototype-style. Following my other recent such patches, this one deals with the case of functions with array parameters. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared libraries are unchanged by the patch). * crypt/cert.c (main): Convert to prototype-style function definition. * io/pipe.c (__pipe): Likewise. * io/pipe2.c (__pipe2): Likewise. * misc/futimesat.c (futimesat): Likewise. * misc/utimes.c (__utimes): Likewise. * posix/execve.c (__execve): Likewise. * posix/execvp.c (execvp): Likewise. * posix/execvpe.c (__execvpe): Likewise. * posix/fexecve.c (fexecve): Likewise. * socket/socketpair.c (socketpair): Likewise. * stdlib/drand48-iter.c (__drand48_iterate): Likewise. * stdlib/erand48.c (erand48): Likewise. * stdlib/erand48_r.c (__erand48_r): Likewise. * stdlib/jrand48.c (jrand48): Likewise. * stdlib/jrand48_r.c (__jrand48_r): Likewise. * stdlib/lcong48.c (lcong48): Likewise. * stdlib/lcong48_r.c (__lcong48_r): Likewise. * stdlib/nrand48.c (nrand48): Likewise. * stdlib/nrand48_r.c (__nrand48_r): Likewise. * stdlib/seed48.c (seed48): Likewise. * stdlib/seed48_r.c (__seed48_r): Likewise. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/execve.c (__execve): Likewise. * sysdeps/mach/hurd/utimes.c (__utimes): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/fexecve.c (fexecve): Likewise.

There is some existing practice in other OSes and it's trivial to implement giving the existing code. Fixes BZ #10221.
