1.390 fefe 13: copy some RPC bugfix cruft from glibc
14: warning: I don't use rpc or xdr, I don't actually understand or have
15: a way to test this. Maybe I should remove this cruft from the
16: diet libc...?

1.352 fefe 41: fix unified x86_64 unified syscall 64-bit return value issue (Gwenole)
1.353 fefe 42: the getdents64 emulation was broken and repairing it opened a can of
43: worms. So I ripped it out. I also changed the readdir64 emulation
44: to work if there is no getdents64.
1.354 fefe 45: fix ia64 start.S (Thanks to Volker Birk for an account on his ia64 box)
1.355 fefe 46: many ia64 fixes (waitpid, nice, fork, vfork, time, utime ...)
1.356 fefe 47: More fixes from Gwenole (printf %p only printed the last 32 bits, I
48: botched the getdents64 #ifdefs, we violated the x86_64 ABI)
1.357 fefe 49: change signal() to do as glibc does
1.358 fefe 50: remove a few more warnings
1.359 fefe 51: add new 2.5 syscall #defines
52: add epoll_create, epoll_ctl and epoll_wait
1.360 fefe 53: the new x86 syscall numbers exceed 255, breaking our %al optimization
54: I worked around it with conditional assembly in cpp macros. Ugh.
1.361 fefe 55: more MIPS fixes (the stoned MIPS ABI for restartable syscalls expects
56: the instruction before the syscall to be a load immediate)
57: fix fread() from a pipe (oops, tried to lseek)
1.362 fefe 58: #define _POSIX_VDISABLE in termios.h (Laurent Bercot)
1.363 fefe 59: two *printf fixes (Gernot Tenchio)

82: use -G 8 on MIPS to reduce code size (Johannes Stezenbach)
1.328 fefe 83: add munlock (Jens Låås)
1.330 fefe 84: argh, atexit fell victim to bit rot (or maybe Olaf)
1.331 fefe 85: add WANT_INET_ADDR_DNS to make gethostbyname not look up IP numbers
86: but use them to fill in the struct hostent directly.
1.332 olaf 87: signal is now a correct signal (Olaf)
1.333 fefe 88: read optimizer cflags for diet -Os gcc from ~/.diet/gcc, overriding
89: the built-in defaults.
1.334 fefe 90: add file "SECURITY". I will document design tradeoffs that have
91: security implications there.
1.335 fefe 92: fixed regex LINEEND condition
1.336 fefe 93: add .size directive to i386 syscalls
1.337 fefe 94: shove a few more bytes off the i386 socket calls

125: there?)
1.284 fefe 126: add truncate64 and ftruncate64 and prototype for truncate (only had ftruncate)
1.285 fefe 127: Michal Ludvig ported the diet libc to the x86_64 architecture (the
128: upcoming AMD Hammer chips!). You can't even buy the chips yet and
129: the diet libc already supports it! Amazing ;-)
130: Michal's patch also fixed several of the outstanding warnings. Thanks!
1.286 fefe 131: Andre sent a patch to add ARM profiling. He says it does not work
132: yet, but it's a start.

168: move __dietlibc__ #define from features.h to diet
1.267 fefe 169: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
170: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 171: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
172: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
173: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 174: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 175: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
176: libcompat
1.271 fefe 177: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!

1.277 fefe 181: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
182: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me

1.278 fefe 184: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 185: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 186: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before

1.264 fefe 188:
1.244 fefe 189: 0.16:
190: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 191: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
192: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 193: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
194: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 195: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
196: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
197: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
198: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 199: remove a few warnings
200: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 201: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
202: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 203: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 204: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 205: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
206: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 207: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
208: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 209: add getdelim and getline
210: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 211: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 212: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".

1.244 fefe 220:
1.224 fefe 221: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 222: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 223: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 224: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
225: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 226: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
227: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 228: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
229: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
230: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
231: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
232: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
233: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 234: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
235: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
236: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
237: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
238: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 239: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 240: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
241: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
242: does it correctly.
243: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
244: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
245: buffer.
246: strftime updates.
247: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
248: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 249: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 250: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
251: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 252: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 253: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
254: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 255: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
256: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 257: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 258: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
259: on ARM.
260: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 261: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
262: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 263: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 264: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 265: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 266: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
267: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
268: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
269: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
270: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
271: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 272:
1.209 fefe 273: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 274: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 275: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
276: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 277: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
278: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 279: made the fake locale more believable.
280: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 281: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 282: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
283: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
284: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
285: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
286: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
287: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
288: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 289: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 290: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 291: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
292: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 293: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
294: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 295: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
296: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 297: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 298: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
299: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
300: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 301: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 302: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
303: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
304: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 305: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 306:
1.193 fefe 307: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 308: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 309: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 310: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.196 leitner 311: me: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 312: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 313: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 314: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 315: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 316: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 317: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 318: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 319: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
320: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
321: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
322: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 323: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 324: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
325: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 326: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 327: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 328: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 329:
1.164 fefe 330: 0.12:
331: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 332: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 333: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 334: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
335: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 336: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 337: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 338: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 339: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 340: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 341: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 342: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 343: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 344: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 345: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 346: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
347: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
348: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 349: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 350: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 351: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
352: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 353: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
354: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
355: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
356: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
357: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
358: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
359: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 360: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 361: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
362: do the same for getgrent and getspent
363: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 364: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 365: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 366: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 367: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
368: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
369: room ;)
1.188 fefe 370: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
371: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
372: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 373: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
374: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 375: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
376: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
377: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 378: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 379: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 380:
1.115 fefe 381: 0.11:
382: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 383: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 384: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
385: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 386: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
387: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
388: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
389: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 390: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 391: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
392: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
393: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 394: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
395: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
396: I wonder how many programmers have produces off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 397: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
398: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 399: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 400: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.125 fefe 401: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
1.126 fefe 402: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 403: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 404: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
405: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
406: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 407: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
408: warning.
1.131 fefe 409: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 410: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 411: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
412: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
413: too)
1.134 fefe 414: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
415: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 416: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
417: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 418: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 419: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 420: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
421: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 422: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 423: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 424: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
425: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
426: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
427: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
428: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
429: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
430: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
431: behavior.
432: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
433: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 434: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
435: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 436: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
437: same problem.
438: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
439: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 440: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
441: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 442: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 443: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 444: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
445: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 446: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
447: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 448: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 449: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 450: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 451: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 452: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 453: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
454: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 455: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
456: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 457: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 458: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 459: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
460: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 461: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
462: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 463: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
464: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
465: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 466:
1.74 fefe 467: 0.10:
468: update getpagesize.
469: add personality.
1.75 fefe 470: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 471: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
472: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 473: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 474: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 475: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
476: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 477: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 478: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 479: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
480: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
481: heroic act of self-mutilation.
482: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 483: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
484: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
485: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 486: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 487: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 488: add res_init.
489: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 490: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 491: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
492: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 493: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.

1.94 fefe 495: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 496: add setenv.
497: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
498: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
499: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
500: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
501: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 502: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
503: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 504: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 505: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 506: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
507: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 508: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
509: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 510: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
511: bytes, not the buffer)
512: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 513: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 514: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
515: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 516: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
517: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 518: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 519: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 520: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 521: add killpg
1.110 fefe 522: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
523: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 524: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 525: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 526: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
527: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 528: add getserv*.
529: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
530: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 531:
1.73 fefe 532: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 533: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 534: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
535: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 536: add fnmatch
537: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 538: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 539: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
540: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
541: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 542: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 543: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 544: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 545:
1.64 fefe 546: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 547: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
548: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 549: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 550: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 551: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 552: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 553: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 554: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
555: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 556: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
557: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
558: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
559: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 560: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
561: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
562: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 563: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 564: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
565: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 566: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 567: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 568: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 569: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
570: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 571: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 572: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
573: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 574: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 575: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 576: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
577: everbody knows what to do with it...
578: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 579: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 580: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
581: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 582: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 583: added nice
584: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
585: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
586: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 587: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 588: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.61 fefe 589: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene Müller!)
1.62 fefe 590: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
591: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 592: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 593:
1.21 fefe 594: 0.7.2:
595: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
596: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 597: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
598: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
599: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
600: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
601: and daemon() ;-)
602: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
603: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
604: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 605: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 606: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
607: limits.h instead)
608: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
609: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 610: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
611: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 612: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 613: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
614: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 615: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 616: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 617: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 618: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 619: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 620:
1.9 fefe 621: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 622: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
623: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
624: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 625: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 626: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 627: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
628: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 629: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 630: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 631: added isupper and islower.
632: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 633: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
634: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 635: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 636: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 637: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
638: Thanks to Sébastien Côté for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 639:
640: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 641: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 642: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
643: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
644: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
645: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 646: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
647: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 648: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
649: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
650: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 651: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 652: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
653: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
654: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 655: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 656:
657: 0.6.14:
658: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
659: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
660: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
661: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
662: supported).
663: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
664: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
665:
666: 0.6.13:
667: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
668: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
669: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
670: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
671: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
672: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
673: this!
674: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
675: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
676:
677: 0.6.12:
678: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
679: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
680:
681: 0.6.11:
682: added putenv.
683:
684: 0.6.10:
685: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
686: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
687: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
688: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
689:
690: 0.6.9:
691: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
692: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
693: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
694: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
695: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
696: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)

698: 0.6.8:
699: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
700: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
701: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
702: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
703: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
704: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
705: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
706: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
707: the unrolling.
708: added sendfile.
709: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
710: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
711: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
712: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
713: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
714:
715: 0.6.7:
716: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
717: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
718: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
719: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
720: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
721: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
722: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
723: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
724: dietlibc headers.
725:
726: 0.6.6:
727: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
728: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
729: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
730: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
731: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
732: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
733: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
734: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
735: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
736: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
737: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
738: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
739:
740: 0.6.5:
741: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
742: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
743: functions.
744: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
745: several bugs.
746: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
747: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
748:
749: 0.6.4:
750: declared is* static inline in getservent.
751: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
752: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
753: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
754: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
755: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
756: of the box.
757: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
758: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
759: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
760: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
761: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
762: applications.
763: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
764: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
765: very often and are substantially faster.
766: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
767: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
768: proton (thanks, anyway).
769: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
770: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
771:
772: 0.6.3:
773: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
774: added isblank
775: added atol
776:
777: 0.6.2:
778: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
779:
780: 0.6.1:
781: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
782: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
783: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
784:
785: 0.6:
786: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pröpper.
787: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
788: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
789: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
790: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
791: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
792: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
793: Thanks to Ralf Bächle for helping me with this!
794: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
795: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
796: simplify the sources greatly.
797: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
798: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
799: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
800: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
801: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
802:
803: 0.5.12:
804: printf also does signed numbers.
805: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
806: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
807: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
808: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
809: return the number of bytes it would have written.
810: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
811: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
812: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
813: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
814: tell me!
815:
816: 0.5.11:
817: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
818: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
819: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
820: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
821: 2864 bytes on sparc
822: 2488 bytes on intel
823: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
824: to make a few more applications work.
825: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
826: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
827: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
828: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
829: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
830: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
831:
832: 0.5.10:
833: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
834: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
835: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
836: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
837: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
838: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
839: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
840: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
841: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
842: system call!)
843:
844: 0.5.9:
845: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
846: fixed strdup
847: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
848: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
849: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
850: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
851: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
852: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
853: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
854: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
855: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
856: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
857: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
858: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
859: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
860: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
861: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
862: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
863: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
864: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
865:
866: 0.5.8:
867: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
868:
869: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
870: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
871: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
872: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
873:
874: added execvp, getcwd
875:
876: fixed __xmknod
877:
878: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
879: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
880: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
881: not follow symlinks.
882:
883: 0.5.7:
884: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
885:
886: 0.5.6:
887: ported to ppc-linux.
888: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
889: included sigjmp.c
890:
891: 0.5.5:
892: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
893: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
894: I fixed it now.
895: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
896: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
897:
898: 0.5.4:
899: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
900: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
901:
902: 0.5.3:
903: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
904:
905: 0.5.2:
906: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
907: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
908: added localtime from uC-libc.
909:
910: 0.5.1:
911: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
912: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
913: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
914: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
915: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
916: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
917: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
918:
919: 0.5:
920: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
921: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
922: split each system call into a separate object file
923: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
924:
925: 0.4.1:
926: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
927:
928: 0.4:
929: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
930: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
931:
932: 0.3:
933: remove readdir system call
934: added getdents system call
935: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
936: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
