2011-11-02Implement PSEUDO_UNLOAD, replacing existing PSEUDO_RELOADED semantics.Mark Hatle
Change from internal PSEUDO_RELOADED to external PSEUDO_UNLOAD environment variable. Enable external programs to have a safe and reliable way to unload pseudo on the next exec*. PSEUDO_UNLOAD also will disable pseudo if we're in a fork/clone situation in the same way PSEUDO_DISABLED=1 would. Rename the PSEUDO_DISABLED tests, and create a similar set for the new PSEUDO_UNLOAD. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2011-03-25Merge in ports workPeter Seebach
This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X 10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases. There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.

2010-12-16update docs to eliminate claims that we don't have chrootPeter Seebach
2010-12-16Restructure wrapfuncs.cMark Hatle
Restructure wrapfuncs.c in an attempt to improve PSEUDO_DISABLED=1 performance. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-12-13Further amend the system to enable/disable sudo during fork/exec.Mark Hatle
2010-12-09: * (mhatle) Add doc/program_flow to attempt to explain startup/running * (mhatle) guts/* minor cleanup * (mhatle) Reorganize into a new constructor for libpseudo ONLY pseudo main() now manually calls the util init new / revised init for client, wrappers and utils * (mhatle) Add central "reinit" function * (mhatle) Add manul execv* functions * (mhatle) rename pseudo_populate_wrappers to pseudo_check_wrappers Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
2010-08-17Draft one effort at making unlink more robust and fixing an obviousseebs
bug in the speculative-unlink operation. The intent is to mark and then confirm or cancel the delete. This removes the quirk where we tried to stash old database entries, which didn't handle directories anyway; "rmdir non-empty-directory" is a bit too common a case to dismiss as unthinkable.
2010-04-26Update documentation for chroot, passwd functionality.Peter Seebach
2010-03-26Track file open flagsPeter Seebach
This patch adds support for checking whether a file was opened for reading, writing, or both, as well as tracking append flags. It is not very well tested. This is preparation for improved host contamination checking.
2010-03-25initial chroot() supportPeter Seebach
Add chroot() and a large number of things needed to make it work. The list of intercepted calls is large but not exhaustive.
