2018-01-20Fix openat flag #ifdef typopseudo-1.9.0PSEUDO_1_9_0Seebs
Whoops, missed this one. Reported/submitted by <joshua.g.lock@linux.intel.com>. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2018-01-16Half-undo FASTOPSeebs
FASTOP is logically fine as long as there's no errors, but if there could be errors, we lose error detection. Responding instantly with a trivial ACK for FASTOP messages slightly reduces performance but improves reliability and seems to work better. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>

2018-01-16Add statvfs wrapperSeebs
Patch was submitted by <dan.dedrick@gmail.com>, revised to make it a subport in case someone cares about a Linux system which doesn't have this function. (Which is probably unlikely, but I am a cautious sort.) Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2018-01-16Merge epoll supportSeebs
Original commit message: The idea came up here: https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11309 and here: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2017-August/141491.html Signed-off-by: Alexander Kanavin <alexander.kanavin@linux.intel.com> I've adapted this to make epoll a configure-time option; you must use --enable-epoll to get the new behavior. I've also confirmed that it builds both ways and appears to run, and restored the SIGUSR2 functionality (except for the state check) for the epoll case. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2018-01-16Drop diagnostic for missing "real" functionsSeebs
It turns out that these diagnostics can be spurious now on some hosts, also that they've probably been wrong forever; for instance, on some Linux, there's not a real "mknod" function and probably never was, so reporting this error is pointless. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2018-01-16Handle long lines in /etc/groupSeebs
This allows the pseudo /etc/group to contain extremely long lines, e.g. when a group has a lot of members. Without this, chown and chgrp fail for group names that occur after such long lines.

2018-01-16handle O_TMPFILE and linkat()Seebs
This is a rework which replaces a previous patch. In this version, files created with O_TMPFILE don't get recorded in the database at all, but if we get a link request for /proc/self/fd/N, and the corresponding file is not in the database, we send a CREAT request for it instead of a LINK, and that appears to work with a MUCH reduced chance of database leakage. Also the O_TMPFILE won't be creating bogus database entries anymore. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net> linkat fix
2017-12-18Print list of clients on SIGUSR2Seebs
This patch relates to some debugging of handling of large numbers of clients, but actually it seems useful to have, so checking it in. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2017-04-13Prevent bash from segfaulting when unloading pseudoSeebs
bash's extremely fancy internal awareness of how the environment looks means that, if you directly call the underlying libc "unsetenv" on a variable, bash can end up trying to access a null pointer. Fixing this generically is actually rather hard; you can't really avoid writing to environ on fork() or popen(), even if you change all execv*() functions to use the execv*e() variants. So for now, instead of unsetting the variable, set it to an empty string. Thanks to Saur in IRC for spotting this and helping debug it. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2017-02-24Don't try to record 0-length posix_acl_default xattrsSeebs
Based on a submission from Anton Gerasimov <anton@advancedtelematic.com> On some systems, with some kernel configs, "cp -a" apparently tries to set an empty ACL list, with a valid header but no contents, which causes strange and mysterious behavior later if we actually create such an entry. So filter that out, also sanity-check a couple of other things. Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2017-02-03Makefile.in: Stop rebuilding binaries so much.Seebs
Currently, the Makefile rebuilds the binary at every invokation of the command make: $ make cc -pipe -std=gnu99 -Wall -W -Wextra -fPIC -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_ATFILE_SOURCE -m64 -DPSEUDO_PREFIX='"/opt"' -DPSEUDO_SUFFIX='""' -DPSEUDO_BINDIR='"bin"' -DPSEUDO_LIBDIR='"lib64"' -DPSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR='"var/pseudo"' -DPSEUDO_VERSION='"1.8.1"' -DUSE_MEMORY_DB -DPSEUDO_PASSWD_FALLBACK='""' -DPSEUDO_XATTR_SUPPORT -O2 -g -o bin/pseudo \ pseudo.o pseudo_server.o pseudo_client.o pseudo_ipc.o \ pseudo_db.o pseudo_tables.o pseudo_util.o -lsqlite3 -lpthread -ldl -lpthread cc -pipe -std=gnu99 -Wall -W -Wextra -fPIC -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_ATFILE_SOURCE -m64 -DPSEUDO_PREFIX='"/opt"' -DPSEUDO_SUFFIX='""' -DPSEUDO_BINDIR='"bin"' -DPSEUDO_LIBDIR='"lib64"' -DPSEUDO_LOCALSTATEDIR='"var/pseudo"' -DPSEUDO_VERSION='"1.8.1"' -DUSE_MEMORY_DB -DPSEUDO_PASSWD_FALLBACK='""' -DPSEUDO_XATTR_SUPPORT -O2 -g -o bin/pseudodb pseudodb.o \ pseudo_db.o pseudo_tables.o pseudo_util.o pseudo_ipc.o -lsqlite3 -lpthread -ldl -lpthread The fault comes from the $(BIN) directory prerequesite. According to the documention of GNU make(*), directory prerequesites normally go to <order-only-prerequisites>: targets: normal-prerequisites | order-only-prerequisites > Consider an example where your targets are to be placed in a separate > directory, and that directory might not exist before make is run.

2016-12-12The setcap utility supplied by libcap is used to set capabilities on aSeebs
file. Before setting a file's capabilities with cap_set_file() (which uses setxattr()) it calls cap_set_flag(mycaps, CAP_EFFECTIVE, 1, &capflag, CAP_SET). cap_set_flag() uses the capset syscall to raise the process' effective capability. In most cases if the process isn't running as root this will fail and setcap will exit with an error. Because setxattr is intercepted by pseudo it's unnecessary for setcap to call capset(). Override capset with a pseudo function that does nothing and always returns 0. Signed-off-by: George McCollister <george.mccollister at gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>
2016-12-12From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com>Seebs
When tclsh forks it can create new threads in the child process, in a pthread_atfork() handler. Running this under pseudo results in a deadlock since the pseudo_lock() call in the new thread in the child process premanently believes that the mutex is already locked by another thread (which actually only existed in the parent process). The provided test cases reproduces this. Similar hangs can also been seen in other cases, such as when attempting to use vim's cscope support under pseudo. Fix it by reseting the mutex in a pthread_atfork() child function. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@axis.com> Signed-off-by: Seebs <seebs@seebs.net>

2016-11-23Make pseudo -S cmd wait for serverSeebs
If you're running pseudo in docker, a script that creates a pseudo daemon can exit, causing docker to kill pseudo before it's done writing the database. Since the client sending the shutdown request doesn't have its socket closed explicitly by the server, we can just read from the socket in the client to create a delay until the actual exit, which can take a while if there's an in-memory DB.

2016-05-18better handling of missing real_foo functionsPeter Seebach
So a recent change to ld.so behavior revealed that pseudo was not always correctly detecting that a function hadn't been found by the RTLD_NEXT search. This only happened for functions which genuinely didn't exist and wouldn't get called (like mknod on Linux, which is actually always done as an inline function that calls __xmknod), but when the diagnostics started showing up, it broke things. Fix it so the diagnostics would have shown up when things were originally broken, also fix the resulting diagnostics. Signed-off-by: Peter Seebach <peter.seebach@windriver.com>

2016-03-25xattr work: handle deletes and renamesPeter Seebach
Handle various ways that a dev/ino pair can cease to have files and thus need to cease to have xattrs. Also handle weird stuff like moving a file across filesystems when it was one of multiple links to an inode with extended attributes.
2016-03-25rework extended attribute support in databasePeter Seebach
extended attributes are a property of inodes, not paths. There can be multiple file database entries for a single inode, so switch to using inodes rather than paths. Still to-do: Delete them when deleting the last file with a given device and inode.
2016-03-25actually handle remove_xattr correctlyPeter Seebach
The variable name is required but wasn't being extracted from the client's message, resulting in xattr removal never working. This does not fully address some deeper problems with the xattr implementation, but at least the common removal case works.
2016-03-11set default umask in serverPeter Seebach
The pseudo server should probably always run with 022 umask so the sockets, database files, and such get created with sane modes.
2016-03-10add wrapper for bindPeter Seebach
Since the pseudo socket is actually created by a call to bind, the bind call could create a file, which means it needs to record a database entry.
2016-03-09make bash stop bullying mePeter Seebach
So we had this really strange problem where, sometimes but not always, pseudo would have strange problems on startup, where the pseudo server would end up running under pseudo. And this produced the most fascinating thing, which was: unsetenv("LD_PRELOAD"); assert(getenv("LD_PRELOAD") == NULL); for (int i = 0; environ[i]; ++i) { assert(strncmp(environ[i], "LD_PRELOAD=", 11)); } (pseudocode untested) This would crash on the environ search. Because getenv() was not searching environ. WHAT. So it turns out, *bash overrides getenv, setenv, and so on*. Under those names. Hiding the glibc ones. And this creates horrible problems if you assumed that your code could call those functions and expect them to work. So as a workaround, pseudo now uses dlsym to find getenv, etc., from glibc, and invokes those directly if possible. Also the client now uses unwrapped fork/exec for spawning the server, which cleans up the behavior of that code quite a bit.
2016-03-02pseudo client spawning cleanupPeter Seebach
Improved/simplified logic for the client spawning servers, to make it (I hope) easier to see what it's trying to do and when. Also clearer diagnostics about what may have gone wrong, and I don't check the pid file unless there's a problem.
