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.
2010-06-02Provide a hook to disable symlink "fixing".Peter Seebach
In fakechroot, which pseudo tries to match the functionality of, the default behavior when creating a symlink with an absolute target is to prepend the chroot path, so that underlying syscalls will get the right file. It is necessary to be able to disable this behavior to create target filesystems in some cases. To that end, support a new environment variable, PSEUDO_NOSYMLINKEXP, which disables that behavior.
2010-03-30Fix copyright information.Peter Seebach
Corporate policy is that each module should have a copyright notice.
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.
2010-03-24Prep for chroot handling:Peter Seebach
* Improve makewrappers handling of function pointer arguments. * Regenerate wrappers when makewrappers is touched. * Move path resolution from pseudo_client_op into wrapper functions. * Eliminate dependency on PATH_MAX. * Related cleanup, such as tracking CWD better, and using the tracked value for getcwd().
