2012-08-09Fix up chroot damage caused by PSEUDO_STATBUF fixpseudo-1.4.1PSEUDO_1_4_1Peter Seebach
The PSEUDO_STATBUF change (allowing operations on files over 2GB even on 32-bit systems) introduced a subtle bug; by calling stat64() rather than real_stat(), pseudo stopped handling chrooted paths well. In most cases, this was fine, but in the specific case of a rename, where the stat buffers for the various parts were actually used, it wasn't. Of particular note, pseudo could end up creating links which had stack garbage for their stat buffs, because it assumed that if the rename operation succeeded, the stat operations must have succeeded. Of course, there is no real_stat64 in the Linux port, because there's no need for it; most code is calling __xstat64 or some relative thereof, and even if you did really call stat64, it'd end up routed there anyway. So we add that so that it can be used for calls and we don't have to encode Linux-specific magic about __xstat into the generic header.
2012-02-06The O_LARGEFILE value was getting merged into mode (where it wasPeter Seebach
ignored) rather than flags (where it was needed), meaning that the open64 type functions didn't work as intended on 32-bit hosts.
2011-11-02Rework the clone wrapper to add an intermediate function to resolve a defect.Mark Hatle
Previously the clone(2) wrapper unconditionallity restored the system environment. It also invokes the checks to see if the user has requested pseudo to be disabled or unloaded. Due to the semantics of clone, this caused both the parent and child processes to be disabled or unloaded. The new code adds an intermediate function, wrap_clone_child, that only runs within the child context. This way we can be sure to only disable/unload pseudo from within the child process. In addition, we avoid mucking with the environment if CLONE_VM is set, since this will affect both parent and child. Signed-off-by: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>
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>
2011-05-31Change logic on file creation/chmod so that we only secretly mask inPeter Seebach
the 0100 bit for directories. The reason is that otherwise we create plain files which are 0700 on disk, which means they're non-zero &0111, which breaks euidaccess(X_OK).

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.
