on RHEL4, that's why.
2011-02-18fix uninitialized variablePeter Seebach
2011-02-10Whoops! If LOCALSTATEDIR doesn't exist, and you invoke pseudoPeter Seebach
directly rather than via an on-demand spawn from the client, the directory is never created.

2011-02-08Expand paths on exec.Peter Seebach
This is fussy, because we have to actually do the path search ourselves as best we can to handle unqualified paths. The result, though, is more meaningful logs. Along the way, fix some bitrot in the comments in pseudo_fix_path and friends.

2011-01-24Revert "Add a cache of the last object found in pseudo_op"Mark Hatle
This reverts commit 49d4d35918d457b0e9206679ecad3b9c84f11e66.
2011-01-18Do not cache OP_EXEC callsMark Hatle
The cached data values were being collected when an OP_EXEC call was made. This is incorrect as the values are only for logging purposes. It's believed this caused an occasional crash in certain instances. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2011-01-14Automatically create state/prefix directoriesPeter Seebach
It'd be handy for the WR build system if new state directories could be created as needed. It is made so. And to answer the first question everyone, including me, has on reading this: You can't do system("mkdir -p ...") because the invoked shell would need to run under pseudo, so it'd have to check for a server, and...
2011-01-13ChangeLog for previous fixPeter Seebach
2011-01-13Fixup: The path code could double-free.Peter Seebach
The problem is that path_by_ino could end up being the same pointer as cache_path, after which, if cache_path were freed (or kept around for later), there would be malloc arena problems. Also, fix the calculation for pathlen to increase cache hits. The IPC messages use length of path *plus one* as the length, because the buffer is defined to include its terminating null byte.
2010-12-17Fix the msg cache codeMark Hatle
The pathlen that is cached could be wrong in certain operations (RENAME). Fix this by resetting it to the proper path length. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-17When pseudo is disabled avoid directory processing...Mark Hatle
When pseudo is disabled, we skip a bunch of the prefix, localstate, etc processing. This allows pseudo to run with a directory that does not yet exist. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-16The maketables thing made it possible for some modules to get builtPeter Seebach
before pseudo_tables.h existed. Fixed.
2010-12-16update docs to eliminate claims that we don't have chrootPeter Seebach
2010-12-16Change the file journal from PERSIST to OFFMark Hatle
Changing the file journal to OFF, this makes things a bit more susceptible to failure in cases where pseudo crashes or the system crashes.. however, this is believed to be unlikely. Timing: Before: real 6m42.093s user 0m34.321s sys 2m46.086s (with journal set to MEMORY) real 6m33.037s user 0m33.133s sys 2m48.668s After (journal set to OFF) real 6m17.313s user 0m32.757s sys 2m47.654s Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-16Optimize the sql database indexes differently...Mark Hatle
We change the index from simply "path" to "path, dev, ino". This allows for slightly faster searches for the exact file information, and does not cause any penalty for a simple "path" based search. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-16Add a cache of the last object found in pseudo_opMark Hatle
Add a cache of the last object found in pseudo_op. Profiling has indiciated that many operations come in clusters. So instead of doing select, operation for each item in the cluster, we check to see if we already know the item and perform the op.. Performance improvement when processing 500k or so files: Previous: real 7m11.778s user 0m35.929s sys 2m46.723s This commit: real 6m42.093s user 0m34.321s sys 2m46.086s Also validation of the component can be added by compiling with NVALIDATE. This verifies the result of the cache is the same as what would have come from the database. Differences are logged to the standard pseudo.log. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-16Restructure the pseudo_op file identificationMark Hatle
We restructure the pseudo_op file identification, which involves a fairly significant performance increase. The old method would do: if pdb_find_file_path: found_path = 1; if found_path && pdb_find_file_exact: found_ino = 1; else if pdb_find_file_dev: found_ino = 1; This resulted in at least two select calls for each file. One for "path" and one for exact or dev. The new method instead does: if pdb_find_file_exact: found_path = 1; found_ino = 1; else if pdb_find_file_path: found_path = 1; if pdb_find_file_dev: found_ino = 1; This shrinks the number of selects to either one or three. Potentially cutting the number of selects in half -- or increasing the number to three on an empty set... (Profiling has shown this is a net win) Timing numbers when manipulating a large number (500k) of files in a ramdisk: real 7m48.354s user 0m32.895s sys 2m50.274s After this change: real 7m11.778s user 0m35.929s sys 2m46.723s Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-16Add sqlite call profilingMark Hatle
Add sqlite call profiling, this allows us to see the sqlite calls that are being made as the system runs, via the pseudo log. It was noted that by this profiling that a small change to pseudo.c, when a file was found, reduced the sqlite SELECT calls by about 1/3. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>

2010-12-07This is a merge of several commits from a tree which turned out toPeter Seebach
be out of sync in a very inconvenient way. Changes include: * Some whitespace fixes, also move the pseudo_variables definition into pseudo_util.c since it's not used anywhere else. * Further improvements in the fork() support: We now recognize both positive and negative forms of PSEUDO_DISABLED, so we can distinguish between "it was removed from the environment by env -i" (restore the old value) and "it was intentionally turned off" (the new value wins). * clone(2) support. This is a little primitive, and programs might still fail horribly due to clone's semantics, but at least it's there and passes easy test cases. Plus a big patch from Mark Hatle: Cleanup fork/clone and PSEUDO_DISABLED guts/fork.c: * cleanup function and make it more robust * be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset to match exec behavior pseudo_wrappers.c: * fix mismatched type in execl_to_v call via typecast * Simplify fork call via single call to wrap_fork() * be sure to save pseudo_disabled * be sure to call pseudo_setupenv prior to pseudo_client_reset to match exec behavior tests: * Add a test of whether pseudo can be disabled/enabled on a fork.

2010-12-02Major shift: Fix execl*(), allow enabling/disabling pseudo withPeter Seebach
an environment variable across fork(). This does a couple of things. One is, move the fork/vfork and execl* functions out of the standard wrapper environment. Having done that, the execl*() wrappers are rewritten so they can use real_execv*() when running in antimagic mode. This allows us to run pseudo entirely in antimagic mode. Which is handy, because we also add support for enabling/disabling antimagic mode in the child process on a fork, using an additional hook for this in the pseudo_client_init() routine. The redone fork() wrapper now calls pseudo_client_init() in the child process after a successful fork even if it's in antimagic mode already. This is not yet well-tested.
2010-12-02The pseudo_db.c file created tables (operations, etc.) in the logsPeter Seebach
database to preserve the meaning of log messages in old databases in case of renumbering... but these tables were never used, and the tables used to create them were, in fact, out of date and inconsistent with the range of operations now supported. Remove the vestigial remains of the never-implemented feature. Also, update .gitignore to stop git from complaining about some more generated files.
2010-11-30Major shift: All the id_t types have been reworked so that theyPeter Seebach
are generated from text files and templates, making it now (we hope) impossible for the list of strings to get out of sync with the enum.
2010-11-18Messing with makewrappers: Move templating code out (for planned usePeter Seebach
in an incoming "maketables".)
2010-11-17Add "Futures.txt" for notes about planned work.Peter Seebach
2010-11-17First pass of some cleanups -- support moving a tracked directory fromPeter Seebach
one device to another, for instance.
2010-10-25Clean up makewrappers a bit.Peter Seebach
2010-10-12Remove tabs from makewrappers.Peter Seebach
2010-10-12Was missing copyright in new makewrappers.Peter Seebach
2010-10-11Major change: Replace the shell-based makewrappers with a PythonPeter Seebach
one. There's a long story here, but to abbreviate it: The shell script was annoying at best to maintain and starting to show signs of not really being the right tool for the job. For various reasons, we have some other Python stuff in our build system, so we picked Python as the language we were already using for other stuff. We think this works with anything reasonably recent (around Python 2.4 through 2.6). There's a little bit of cleanup, also, of the wrapper templates.
2010-10-11Add the other *xattr() wrappers (all ENOTSUP) for consistency.Peter Seebach
Note that this replaces an existing getxattr() wrapper which canonicalized pathnames for use in a chroot() environment. The need for that to work in some possible future may require us to revisit this.
2010-10-06Add the fsetxattr wrapper to return ENOTSUPMark Hatle
Current versions of gnu coreutils 'cp' were attempting to set permissions using fsetxattr. As a workaround, we need to return ENOTSUP so that it falls back to using fchmod, which pseudo does know how to wrap. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-09-16The exec*() functions were inconsistent about the name of their firstPeter Seebach
argument -- which turns out to be a problem, as this controls the canonicalization. The upshot is that some invocations of symlinks were corrupting $0.
2010-09-15In the WR Linux build system, we build host tools (including pseudo)Peter Seebach
in one place, but then often reuse them in other project directories. As a result, the --with-sqlite path is no longer the right path to use for RPATH later in the program's life. In the past, we were using chrpath to change the path to something more suitable, but this doesn't work if the new path is longer. Instead, allow an explicit --with-rpath setting which our build system can use. The logic is: * If you don't specify --with-sqlite or --with-rpath, you get no -Wl,-R * If you specify an empty path in --with-rpath, or --without-rpath, you get no -Wl,-R * If you specify --with-rpath with a non-empty path, you get -Wl,-R<path> * If you specify --with-sqlite, but not --with-rpath, you get -Wl,-R$(SQLITE)/lib
2010-09-08Fix mkfifoat() to not always failPeter Seebach
mknodat() uses a dev_t * argument, not a dev_t argument, so the 0 passed into wrap___xmknodat() by wrap_mkfifoat() is an invalid argument rather than an unused but valid zero. Change mkfifoat to create a dummy dev_t and pass its address.
2010-09-02Add -Wl,-R$(SQLITE)/lib so we can find libsqlite3 if it wasn'tPeter Seebach
in the default location.
2010-09-02Wait, the man page says we give ERANGE for that, not ENAMETOOLONG.Peter Seebach
... Also, make that error message a debugging message, since that's a normal and legitimate use case.
2010-09-01A couple more int/size_t mismatch fixes.Peter Seebach
2010-08-31Fix an error message which was mostly-harmless but still clearly aPeter Seebach
flaw in the code. Yes, Virginia, your printf arguments must match their format strings, and size_t is not the same thing as int.
2010-08-27We got bitten AGAIN by hard-coded lengths in memcmp, so we've swappedPeter Seebach
that for a macro that does it correctly. Why not just use strcmp, you ask? Because we aren't doing a string compare, we're looking for a prefix.
2010-08-26The logic for updating LD_LIBRARY_PATH had a bug; if you hadseebs
an LD_LIBRARY_PATH that included the pseudo library directory and some other directories, the other directories would get wiped out. Also a couple of whitespace rationalizatoins.
2010-08-26While looking at a possible 64/32-bit clash (there wasn't one afterseebs
all) noticed, that offsets.c was busted. Fixed.
2010-08-26Almost had it! The problem is that because the save ofseebs
pseudo_saved_sigmask occurred outside of the check against antimagic, calls to wrapped functions made by the internals of a wrapper resulted on overwriting pseudo_saved_sigmask, so we restored the already-blocked sigmask. This could result in programs getting their sigmask permanently changed to block various signals, most crucially SIGCHLD. We now stash the value immediately before calling a wrapper, and never stash it if we're not calling a wrapper. Now the anti-magic stuff happening inside wrappers isn't trashing the signal mask. YAY!
