Annotation of dietlibc/CHANGES, revision 1.692
1.673 leitner 1: 0.33:
1.674 leitner 2: first stab at getting TLS to work in actual threads
3: use fs: to find current thread on x86_64
1.675 leitner 4: add fallocate, posix_fallocate
1.676 leitner 5: work around Ubuntu who added -fstack-protector to their gcc, which
6: added stack protector code to the function from the dietlibc startup
7: code that sets up the registers and segments used by the stack
8: protector mechanism.
1.677 leitner 9: fix sys/personality.h (Mathias Krause)
1.679 leitner 10: update sys/ptrace.h (Nikola Vladov)
1.682 leitner 11: fix fork+pthread closing fd 0 (Tim München)
1.680 leitner 12: finally add stdout tty detection and turn off linewise buffering if !tty
1.681 leitner 13: enlarge dev_t to 32-bit on i386, arm, sparc, s390 (Pascal Terjan)
14: update sys/stat.h to include nsec and enlarge dev_t
1.682 leitner 15: add WANT_VALGRIND_SUPPORT in dietfeatures.h. When #defined, the
16: startup code will check if the program is running under valgrind,
17: and if it is, the SIMD optimized string routines will switch back to
18: a slower version that does not generate valgrind false positives.
1.683 leitner 19: add WANT_LLMNR in dietfeatures.h. Now you can do "ping windowsbox"
20: and it works if that box runs win7 and trusts the LAN; the down side
21: is that LLMNR does not like the .local prefix, so DNS does zeroconf
22: lookup for unqualified names now, too.
1.684 leitner 23: add WANT_GNU_STARTUP_BLOAT in dietfeatures.h to support
24: program_invocation_short_name and program_invocation_name

1.256 olaf 660: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 661: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 662: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 663: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 664: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav
665: Macodiseas)
1.261 fefe 666: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 667: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 668: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 669:
1.224 fefe 670: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 671: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 672: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 673: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
674: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 675: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
676: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 677: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
678: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
679: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
680: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
681: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
682: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 683: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
684: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
685: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
686: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
687: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 688: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 689: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
690: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
691: does it correctly.
692: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
693: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
694: buffer.
695: strftime updates.
696: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
697: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 698: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 699: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
700: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 701: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 702: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
703: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 704: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
705: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 706: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 707: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
708: on ARM.
709: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 710: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
711: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 712: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 713: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 714: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 715: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
716: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
717: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
718: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
719: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
720: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 721:
1.209 fefe 722: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 723: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 724: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
725: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 726: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
727: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 728: made the fake locale more believable.
729: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 730: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 731: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
732: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
733: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
734: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
735: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
736: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
737: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 738: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 739: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 740: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
741: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 742: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
743: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 744: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
745: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 746: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 747: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
748: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
749: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 750: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 751: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
752: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
753: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 754: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 755:
1.193 fefe 756: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 757: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 758: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 759: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 760: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 761: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 762: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 763: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 764: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 765: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 766: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 767: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 768: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
769: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
770: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
771: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 772: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 773: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
774: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 775: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 776: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 777: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 778:
1.164 fefe 779: 0.12:
780: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 781: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 782: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 783: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
784: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 785: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 786: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 787: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 788: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 789: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 790: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 791: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 792: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 793: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 794: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 795: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
796: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
797: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 798: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 799: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 800: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
801: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 802: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
803: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
804: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
805: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
806: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
807: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
808: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 809: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 810: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
811: do the same for getgrent and getspent
812: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 813: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 814: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 815: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 816: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
817: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
818: room ;)
1.188 fefe 819: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
820: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
821: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 822: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
823: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 824: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
825: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
826: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 827: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 828: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 829:
1.115 fefe 830: 0.11:
831: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 832: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 833: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
834: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 835: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
836: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
837: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
838: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 839: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 840: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
841: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
842: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 843: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
844: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 845: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 846: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
847: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 848: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 849: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.668 leitner 850: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pr?pper.
1.126 fefe 851: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 852: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 853: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
854: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
855: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 856: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
857: warning.
1.131 fefe 858: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 859: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 860: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
861: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
862: too)
1.134 fefe 863: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
864: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 865: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
866: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 867: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 868: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 869: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
870: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 871: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 872: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 873: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
874: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
875: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
876: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
877: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
878: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
879: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
880: behavior.
881: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
882: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 883: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
884: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 885: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
886: same problem.
887: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
888: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 889: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
890: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 891: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 892: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 893: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
894: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 895: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
896: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 897: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 898: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 899: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 900: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 901: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 902: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
903: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 904: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
905: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 906: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 907: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 908: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
909: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 910: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
911: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 912: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
913: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
914: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 915:
1.74 fefe 916: 0.10:
917: update getpagesize.
918: add personality.
1.75 fefe 919: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 920: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
921: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 922: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 923: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 924: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
925: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 926: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 927: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 928: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
929: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
930: heroic act of self-mutilation.
931: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 932: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
933: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
934: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 935: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 936: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 937: add res_init.
938: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 939: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 940: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
941: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 942: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 943: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 944: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 945: add setenv.
946: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
947: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
948: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
949: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
950: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 951: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
952: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 953: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 954: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 955: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
956: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 957: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
958: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 959: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
960: bytes, not the buffer)
961: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 962: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 963: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
964: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 965: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
966: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 967: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 968: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 969: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 970: add killpg
1.110 fefe 971: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
972: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 973: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 974: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 975: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
976: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 977: add getserv*.
978: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
979: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 980:
1.73 fefe 981: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 982: fixed initgroups (oops)

984: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 985: add fnmatch
986: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 987: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 988: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
989: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
990: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 991: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 992: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 993: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 994:
1.64 fefe 995: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 996: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
997: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 998: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 999: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 1000: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 1001: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 1002: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 1003: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
1004: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 1005: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
1006: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
1007: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
1008: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 1009: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
1010: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
1011: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 1012: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 1013: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
1014: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 1015: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 1016: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 1017: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 1018: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
1019: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 1020: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 1021: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
1022: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 1023: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 1024: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 1025: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
1026: everbody knows what to do with it...
1027: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 1028: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 1029: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
1030: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 1031: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 1032: added nice
1033: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
1034: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
1035: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 1036: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 1037: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.668 leitner 1038: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene M?ller!)
1.62 fefe 1039: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
1040: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 1041: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 1042:
1.21 fefe 1043: 0.7.2:
1044: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
1045: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 1046: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
1047: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
1048: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
1049: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
1050: and daemon() ;-)
1051: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
1052: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
1053: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 1054: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 1055: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
1056: limits.h instead)
1057: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
1058: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 1059: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
1060: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 1061: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 1062: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
1063: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 1064: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 1065: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 1066: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 1067: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 1068: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 1069:
1.9 fefe 1070: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 1071: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
1072: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
1073: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 1074: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 1075: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 1076: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
1077: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 1078: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 1079: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 1080: added isupper and islower.
1081: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 1082: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
1083: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 1084: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 1085: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 1086: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
1.668 leitner 1087: Thanks to S?bastien C?t? for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 1088:
1089: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 1090: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 1091: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
1092: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
1093: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
1094: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 1095: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
1096: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 1097: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
1098: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
1099: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 1100: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 1101: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
1102: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
1103: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 1104: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 1105:
1106: 0.6.14:
1107: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
1108: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
1109: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
1110: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
1111: supported).
1112: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
1113: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
1114:
1115: 0.6.13:
1116: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
1117: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
1118: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
1119: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
1120: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
1121: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
1122: this!
1123: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
1124: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
1125:
1126: 0.6.12:
1127: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
1128: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
1129:
1130: 0.6.11:
1131: added putenv.
1132:
1133: 0.6.10:
1134: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
1135: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
1136: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
1137: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
1138:
1139: 0.6.9:
1140: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
1141: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
1142: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
1143: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
1144: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
1145: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
1146:
1147: 0.6.8:
1148: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
1149: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
1150: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
1151: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
1152: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
1153: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
1154: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
1155: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
1156: the unrolling.
1157: added sendfile.
1158: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
1159: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
1160: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
1161: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
1162: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
1163:
1164: 0.6.7:
1165: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
1166: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
1167: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
1168: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
1169: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
1170: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
1171: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
1172: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
1173: dietlibc headers.
1174:
1175: 0.6.6:
1176: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
1177: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
1178: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
1179: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
1180: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
1181: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
1182: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
1183: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
1184: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
1185: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
1186: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
1187: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
1188:
1189: 0.6.5:
1190: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
1191: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
1192: functions.
1193: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
1194: several bugs.
1195: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
1196: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
1197:
1198: 0.6.4:
1199: declared is* static inline in getservent.
1200: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
1201: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
1202: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
1203: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
1204: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
1205: of the box.
1206: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
1207: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
1208: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
1209: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
1210: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
1211: applications.
1212: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
1213: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
1214: very often and are substantially faster.
1215: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
1216: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
1217: proton (thanks, anyway).
1218: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
1219: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
1220:
1221: 0.6.3:
1222: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
1223: added isblank
1224: added atol
1225:
1226: 0.6.2:
1227: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
1228:
1229: 0.6.1:
1230: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
1231: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
1232: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
1233:
1234: 0.6:
1.668 leitner 1235: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pr?pper.
1.1 cvs 1236: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
1237: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
1238: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
1239: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
1240: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
1241: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
1.668 leitner 1242: Thanks to Ralf B?chle for helping me with this!
1.1 cvs 1243: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
1244: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
1245: simplify the sources greatly.
1246: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
1247: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
1248: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
1249: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
1250: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
1251:
1252: 0.5.12:
1253: printf also does signed numbers.
1254: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
1255: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
1256: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
1257: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
1258: return the number of bytes it would have written.
1259: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
1260: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
1261: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
1262: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
1263: tell me!
1264:
1265: 0.5.11:
1266: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
1267: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
1268: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
1269: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
1270: 2864 bytes on sparc
1271: 2488 bytes on intel
1272: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
1273: to make a few more applications work.
1274: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
1275: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
1276: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
1277: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
1278: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
1279: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
1280:
1281: 0.5.10:
1282: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
1283: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
1284: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
1285: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
1286: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
1287: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
1288: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
1289: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
1290: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
1291: system call!)
1292:
1293: 0.5.9:
1294: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
1295: fixed strdup
1296: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
1297: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
1298: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
1299: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
1300: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
1301: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
1302: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
1303: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
1304: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
1305: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
1306: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
1307: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
1308: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1309: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1310: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1311: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1312: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1313: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1314:
1315: 0.5.8:
1316: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1317:
1318: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1319: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1320: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1321: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1322:
1323: added execvp, getcwd
1324:
1325: fixed __xmknod
1326:
1327: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1328: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1329: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1330: not follow symlinks.
1331:
1332: 0.5.7:
1333: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1334:
1335: 0.5.6:
1336: ported to ppc-linux.
1337: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1338: included sigjmp.c
1339:
1340: 0.5.5:
1341: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1342: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
1343: I fixed it now.
1344: dietlibc/SPARC assumes -msupersparc (does not provide div, mul, etc)
1345: fixed readdir to use getdents and not the intel inline asm
1346:
1347: 0.5.4:
1348: ported to sparclinux (sparc32 only). Beware: does not work yet.
1349: added raise, abort, readlink, strcat, geteuid, geteuid, wait3, access
1350:
1351: 0.5.3:
1352: added tcsetattr and getenv to compile e3
1353:
1354: 0.5.2:
1355: added vhangup, tcgetattr, isatty and memcmp for fgetty
1356: (http://www.fefe.de/fgetty/)
1357: added localtime from uC-libc.
1358:
1359: 0.5.1:
1360: stat and friends actually work now. Yuck! Another case of
1361: translation between kernel and userland. Why can't the kernel
1362: people and the libc people simply agree on a standard?
1363: removed many unnecessary includes to speed up compilation.
1364: added -fomit-frame-pointer and i386 compilation target to reduce code size.
1365: inlined socketcall to reduce code size.
1366: "load" and "compile" are examples for djb code.
1367:
1368: 0.5:
1369: Olaf Dreesen contributed a much smaller implementation of malloc and friends.
1370: each object file is now treated with "strip -x -R .note -R .comment"
1371: split each system call into a separate object file
1372: added ntohs, htons, alarm, if_indextoname and if_nametoindex
1373:
1374: 0.4.1:
1375: oops, the strchr implementation was wrong. Thanks Jens Laas!
1376:
1377: 0.4:
1378: copied opendir and friends from uC-libc.
1379: added getservent and getservby* in gerservent.c
1380:
1381: 0.3:
1382: remove readdir system call
1383: added getdents system call
1384: added getpwnam/getpwuid implementation in getpwnam.c
1385: added a few string functions (in str*.c)
1386:
