Annotation of dietlibc/CHANGES, revision 1.722
1.697 leitner 1: 0.34:
2: move stpcpy from libcompat to lib as it is now part of POSIX (Enrico Scholz)
1.698 leitner 3: add linux/seccomp.h linux/prctl.h linux/audit.h linux/elf-em.h linux/filter.h
1.699 leitner 4: SECURITY: make sure all assembler files mark the stack non-executable so
5: the kernel can map the stack of the whole program as non-executable
1.700 leitner 6: support compiling with clang (no cross compiling yet, and the resulting
7: binary code is significantly larger than with gcc)
8: implement experimental C11 threads
1.701 leitner 9: fix fgets (Andreas Förster)
1.702 leitner 10: add eventfd, inotify_init1, epoll_init1, accept4, recvmmsg, sendmmsg
11: add dup3, fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, signalfd4, timerfd_settime
1.703 leitner 12: add timerfd_gettime, setns, memfd_create, getrandom, syncfs
1.704 leitner 13: add preadv, pwritev
1.705 leitner 14: add getcontext, setcontext, makecontext, swapcontext (i386 and x86_64 only for now)
1.706 leitner 15: add implementation of hsearch and friends
1.707 leitner 16: add strverscmp (like GNU version but without special treatment for leading zeros)
1.708 leitner 17: fix cuserid
1.709 leitner 18: SECURITY: fix integer overflow in scandir/scandir64 if your selector
19: leaves more than 1 billion filenames
1.710 leitner 20: fix memory leaks in out of memory error paths in regcomp and librpc
21: udp and tcp server code (found by the llvm static analyzer)
1.711 leitner 22: fix returning more than one match in regexec (Stefan Wagner)
1.713 leitner 23: add getentropy, lazy arc4random clone (OpenBSD)
1.714 leitner 24: define uintptr_t using __UINTPTR_TYPE__ (32-bit platforms may need a make clean)
1.715 leitner 25: move strnlen from libcompat into libc (it's POSIX now)
26: fix dn_expand argument signedness
1.716 leitner 27: add explicit_bzero, timingsafe_bcmp and timingsafe_memcmp (OpenBSD APIs useful for crypto)
1.717 leitner 28: i386 switched from mmap to mmap2. glibc has been doing this for ages,
29: and we now follow suit (without fallback to mmap), because
30: seccomp-filter can't inspect mmap arguments, so this helps security.
1.718 leitner 31: plumbing to get preliminary PIE support for x86_64
1.719 leitner 32: don't cause unaligned memory accesses in stackgap for the random from auxvec (Giorgio)

1.721 leitner 35: cleanup s390 syscalls (Christian Seiler)
1.722 ! leitner 36: various TLS and pthread fixes (Christian Seiler)
1.697 leitner 37:
1.673 leitner 38: 0.33:
1.674 leitner 39: first stab at getting TLS to work in actual threads
40: use fs: to find current thread on x86_64
1.675 leitner 41: add fallocate, posix_fallocate
1.676 leitner 42: work around Ubuntu who added -fstack-protector to their gcc, which
43: added stack protector code to the function from the dietlibc startup
44: code that sets up the registers and segments used by the stack
45: protector mechanism.
1.677 leitner 46: fix sys/personality.h (Mathias Krause)
1.679 leitner 47: update sys/ptrace.h (Nikola Vladov)
1.682 leitner 48: fix fork+pthread closing fd 0 (Tim München)

1.681 leitner 50: enlarge dev_t to 32-bit on i386, arm, sparc, s390 (Pascal Terjan)
51: update sys/stat.h to include nsec and enlarge dev_t
1.682 leitner 52: add WANT_VALGRIND_SUPPORT in dietfeatures.h. When #defined, the
53: startup code will check if the program is running under valgrind,
54: and if it is, the SIMD optimized string routines will switch back to
55: a slower version that does not generate valgrind false positives.
1.683 leitner 56: add WANT_LLMNR in dietfeatures.h. Now you can do "ping windowsbox"
57: and it works if that box runs win7 and trusts the LAN; the down side
58: is that LLMNR does not like the .local prefix, so DNS does zeroconf
59: lookup for unqualified names now, too.
1.684 leitner 60: add WANT_GNU_STARTUP_BLOAT in dietfeatures.h to support
61: program_invocation_short_name and program_invocation_name
62: add INT*_MIN, INT*_MAX, UINT*_MAX, etc to stdint.h
63: remove const from stdsignal prototype to agree with standard
1.685 leitner 64: only count %[] conversions in *scanf if they matched at least one char
65: (Indan Zupancic)
1.686 leitner 66: make sure __sc_nr_cpus does not dump core if /proc/cpuinfo is larger
67: than 2048 bytes (Bela Lubkin)
1.687 leitner 68: use vsyscall for time on x86_64 instead of wrapping gettimeofday (Nikola Vladov)
69: CPU affinity support (Indan Zupancic)
1.688 leitner 70: lots of ARM fixes (Enrico Scholz)
1.689 leitner 71: make sure strftime does not write more than max bytes when writing \0
72: (Tobias S. Josefowitz)
1.690 leitner 73: change gettimeofday vsyscall to use the vdso
74: add WANT_HOSTS_GIVEUP_EARLY in dietfeatures.h
1.691 leitner 75: various build fixes, add sys/atomic.h and the __CAS function
1.692 leitner 76: redo nice with get/setpriority as glibc does (Thierry Vignaud)
1.693 leitner 77: add fdopendir
1.694 leitner 78: add openat and friends
1.695 leitner 79: srand(0) made rand() return a series of 0 instead of random data
80: (https://banu.com/blog/42/openbsd-bug-in-the-random-function/)

1.281 fefe 654:
1.264 fefe 655: 0.17:
1.265 fefe 656: fix several bugs in getservent_r
1.266 fefe 657: Gunnar Ritter reported the following:
658: moved tcgetpgrp and tcsetpgrp to unistd.h
659: adjusted lstat->lstat64 #define to make it work with function pointers
660: move __dietlibc__ #define from features.h to diet
1.267 fefe 661: Thomas Ogrisegg sent x86 memccpy and strncpy routines and introduced
662: an dietfeatures.h #define WANT_FULL_POSIX_COMPAT
1.268 fefe 663: Thomas also sent me profiling support (so far only on x86, but
664: profiling/PORTING describes what needs to be done for other
665: architectures)!
1.272 fefe 666: add contrib/dprof.c, also from Thomas.
1.269 fefe 667: Andreas Krennmair sent a patch to add the BSD regex interface to
668: libcompat
1.271 fefe 669: Andre noticed that __dtostr never sets first to false. Oops!
1.274 fefe 670: Andre has provided a largely untested patch that seems to fix the problem.
1.275 fefe 671: Igor Gilitschenski sent a patch for the "%8.7lx" issue.
1.276 fefe 672: abort did not flush all stdio streams
1.277 fefe 673: fix some nasty regular expression bugs
674: write a stupid malloc checker (contrib/debug-realloc.c) to help me
675: debug my regular expressions. Please read contrib/debug-realloc.txt
1.278 fefe 676: our i386 memchr,memcmp were broken for the count=0 case
1.279 fefe 677: fix DNS domain search
1.280 fefe 678: i386 memccpy exchanged esi and edi :-( I should do more checks before
679: accepting external code...
1.264 fefe 680:
1.244 fefe 681: 0.16:
682: "diet -v" or "diet -Os" segfaulted without further arguments.
1.246 fefe 683: Andre found two very embarassing bugs in my four lines of md5 glue.
684: I need to get more sleep.
1.247 fefe 685: Thanks Ogrisegg found that ptrace does not work as documented and
686: provided a wrapper that emulates the glibc behaviour.
1.248 fefe 687: Dirk Engling saved 8 bytes and 4 cycles in the ARM clone()
688: fix ptrace.h for S/390 and ARM
689: provide a PORTING document so we don't lose track of which file need
690: to be touched to port the diet libc to a new platform.
1.249 fefe 691: remove a few warnings
692: provide a prototype for usleep.
1.250 fefe 693: make __dtostr work on ARM by using long instead of long long.
694: Idea by Dirk Engling.
1.251 fefe 695: fix an argument counting bug in *scanf (Thomas Ogrisegg)
1.252 fefe 696: Forgot an #endif in asm/sigcontext.h (Mike Castle)
1.253 fefe 697: Kurt Garloff sent in patches to
698: fix struct termios on non-x86 architectures
1.254 fefe 699: printf("%+05d\n",500) was broken (Raimar Falke told me, Olaf fixed it)
700: create libcompat.a (and move daemon to it)
1.255 fefe 701: add getdelim and getline
702: *printf now recognize 'z' integer flag (and ignore it)
1.256 olaf 703: Dirk Engling provided a strcpy.S for ARM.
1.257 olaf 704: Olaf: fixed *scanf familie. It hadn't wored with "long long".
1.258 fefe 705: Hans Lermen fixed i386/getenv.S
1.259 fefe 706: diet -Os no longer discards -fpic and -fno-pic
1.260 fefe 707: fix i386 rand/random to use correct RAND_MAX (thanks, Jaroslav
708: Macodiseas)
1.261 fefe 709: sys/ipc.h now includes sys/types.h
1.262 olaf 710: Olaf: started to make the sparc64 port
1.263 fefe 711: scandir should not sort if compar() is NULL (reported by Andrea Marrosu)
1.244 fefe 712:
1.224 fefe 713: 0.15:
1.225 fefe 714: vfork sucks. I reverted to the old behavior where vfork==fork.
1.226 fefe 715: fix bsearch (and remove i386 assembly bsearch, needs to be redone).
1.227 fefe 716: Thanks Ogrisegg sent a patch to make the PA-RISC unified syscall
717: thread-safe!
1.228 fefe 718: remove vfork and add alarm to dynamic syscalls.
719: fix diet-dyn to link in dyn_dstop.o and not dyn_stop.o.
1.229 fefe 720: The MD5 code generated unaligned accesses when passed an unaligned
721: pointer on little endian ARM and MIPS.
722: MIPS unified syscall didn't compile anymore.
723: Put up new mipsel target to cross compile for little endian mips.
724: The mips target will again explicitly set endianness to big endian.
725: Compiling natively on a MIPS box should not touch the endianness.
1.230 fefe 726: Duh, when we removed return0, we broke tzset when the time zone parser
727: was disabled. Uwe Ohse noticed this. Thanks!
728: Fix gethostbyname to match host names case insensitively in /etc/hosts.
729: Oops, this was reported 6 weeks ago but I overlooked the email.
730: Thanks, Denis Rachal!
1.231 fefe 731: vsnprintf's zero termination was broken.
1.233 fefe 732: Uwe Ohse found a few more bugs:
733: Remove WANT_BUGGY_GLIBC_STRSEP. The Linux man page is broken, glibc
734: does it correctly.
735: Make inet_aton use strtoul instead of strtol
736: fdopen would close the file descriptor if it could not malloc the
737: buffer.
738: strftime updates.
739: Make _FILE_OFFSET_BITS includes -Wundef clean
740: Andre found a typo in endian.h for big endian mips
1.234 fefe 741: Ryan told me that fmod was not included in libm. Oops.
1.235 fefe 742: strstr(whatever,"") returned NULL, not whatever. Found by a new test
743: suite entry for strstr that I wrote.
1.245 fefe 744: Thomas Ogrisegg suggested or sent patches for the following:
1.236 fefe 745: add <asm/sigcontext.h> for profiling support.
746: make strncpy a #define in string.h to save a few bytes.
1.241 fefe 747: an i386 assembler getenv implementation (roughly half the size)
748: add grantpt, ptsname, unlockpt
1.236 fefe 749: add a getenv test suite entry.
1.238 fefe 750: Andre contributed an ARM assembler md5 implementation and he fixed mmap
751: on ARM.
752: add glibc macro names in sys/reboot.h. Mentioned by Laurent G. Bercot
1.239 fefe 753: getservent_r did not parse lines without aliases. Thanks, Jaroslav
754: Macodiseas!
1.240 fefe 755: fix MIPS start code (argv[0] was always corrupt)
1.241 fefe 756: removed annoying -Wconversion gcc switch
1.242 fefe 757: add -v to diet.c and fix MIPS CFLAGS in diet. Thanks, Johannes Stezenbach
1.243 fefe 758: Kurt Garloff sent these diffs:
759: add fdatasync (and make it a pthread cancellation point)
760: numerous alpha issues, like using .quad instead of .long for
761: offsets, change strip to -strip in Makefile (so a failing strip does
762: not abort the make), try to be more friendly to the gcc 2.96 that
763: SuSE 7.1 AXP ships with.
1.224 fefe 764:
1.209 fefe 765: 0.14:
1.224 fefe 766: fix brk again (missing __brk, trivial oversight)
1.210 fefe 767: a new i386/atol.S that is 4 bytes smaller (and faster, too!). Thanks,
768: Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.211 fefe 769: Thomas also contributed a PA-RISC port including testandset, so
770: libpthread will work once we implement clone! Great work, Thomas.
1.212 fefe 771: made the fake locale more believable.
772: If you need gettext, use http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/gettext.html
1.213 fefe 773: moved _exit into the unified syscall on x86.
1.214 fefe 774: Uwe Ohse found many more bugs:
775: getpass EINTR handling, ttyname, sysconf_cpus with SLASH_PROC_OK,
776: liblatin1 was more or less completely broken if you gave it chars as
777: arguments, not ints (signedness). execvp had a buffer overflow in
778: case a PATH element exceeded PATH_MAX, but it's not a security
779: problem since setuid programs need to set their path to some known
780: value anyway.
1.219 fefe 781: hasmntopt did not work with foo=bar style options
1.217 fefe 782: Uwe also improved ftw's stack usage.
1.214 fefe 783: Put movl instead of popl rationale in comment in i386/unified.S since
784: three people have suggested saving a few bytes with popl now ;)
1.215 fefe 785: I discovered __attribute__((malloc)) and started using it. For gcc 3,
786: it improves the optimizer when functions return malloced pointers.
1.216 fefe 787: Steven Rostedt pointed out that my setvbuf was broken with regard to
788: size==0 and sent a patch to fix it.
1.218 fefe 789: Thomas Ogrisegg made setenv smaller.
1.220 olaf 790: Olaf: implemented the parisc clone and an atomic testandset, modified the
791: libpthread to respect the parisc UPgrowing stack. still non functional,
792: because the unified syscall uses errno :(
1.221 fefe 793: tcgetospeed read from the wrong termios field. Thanks, Gunnar Ritter!
1.222 fefe 794: Fixed asprintf (relied on vsnprintf(NULL,...) to return length but
795: don't write anything which was no longer the case. It also
796: allocated one byte unnecessarily, which Uwe Ohse found.
1.223 fefe 797: Fix ttyname (readlink does not \0-terminate, forgot to do that).
1.209 fefe 798:
1.193 fefe 799: 0.13:
1.194 fefe 800: add readdir64 and automatic mapping if _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
1.199 fefe 801: make diet not include the linker safeguard stuff when preprocessing
1.207 fefe 802: Olaf: port to S/390!
1.463 leitner 803: fix vfork (it was put into dietlibc.a twice)
1.197 leitner 804: res_query did not initialize last
1.199 fefe 805: diet (not diet-dyn, of course) now adds -static to the gcc command line
1.198 leitner 806: fixed fflush on input streams (tic from ncurses exposed this)
1.199 fefe 807: duh, there is an alarm system call, too, so we use it and not setitimer
1.200 fefe 808: fix comparison in gmtime_r that caused Jan 1 to be converted to Dec 32.
1.201 fefe 809: rewrote __dtostr (it also has one more argument now)
1.205 fefe 810: Thanks to Erik Troan for bringing these to my attention:
1.204 fefe 811: make putenv behave like glibc (putenv("HOME") == unsetenv("HOME"))
812: fix strncat for the case where n == 0 (security implications?)
813: fix bsearch (it didn't find the very last element in the array, same
814: bug in both the C and the i386 assembly version).
1.205 fefe 815: fixed FNM_PATHNAME in fnmatch
1.204 fefe 816: fix brk (the syscall was documented incorrectly in the Linux man page)
817: Thanks, Thomas Ogrisegg!
1.205 fefe 818: added negated character classes to fnmatch (not required by POSIX)
1.206 fefe 819: make the utmp routines open utmp read-only if read-write doesn't work.
1.208 fefe 820: remove syscalls.c directory, it is obsolete now with unified syscalls
1.193 fefe 821:
1.164 fefe 822: 0.12:
823: more contributions from Frank Klemm.
1.165 fefe 824: iconv can now do UCS-2, too.
1.167 fefe 825: Imported several x86 assembly routines from Wouter van Kleunen.
1.166 fefe 826: Lots of bug fixes, and several more i386 specific versions of common
827: routines to make them smaller.
1.168 fefe 828: add memmem (a GNU extension that looks useful)
1.170 fefe 829: several changes from Michal Ludvig: inttypes.h gets C99 macros,
1.168 fefe 830: add pivot_root syscall, %n for *scanf.
1.169 fefe 831: add adjtimex (thanks, Laurent BERCOT)
1.171 fefe 832: add Frank Klemm's optimized md5
1.172 fefe 833: add -Os option to diet (see diet.1).
1.173 fefe 834: several IPv6 constants and HZ were missing, thanks Johannes Kloos.
1.174 fefe 835: add 32-bit uid/gid syscalls.
1.175 fefe 836: add rand48 (thanks, Johannes Kloos)
1.176 fefe 837: fixed a lot of bugs in getopt* (thanks, Johannes)
1.177 fefe 838: add strxfrm and tweak limits.h. glib-1.3.8 now compiles without changes.
839: add a few more module syscalls. modutils-2.4.9 now compiles without changes.
840: fix gethostent alias list termination. Major oops.
1.178 fefe 841: add execle and two DNS constants (from Johannes Kloos).
1.179 fefe 842: opendir did not close-on-exec (thanks, Laurent Bercot).
1.180 fefe 843: DNS will now properly signal errors and set h_errno.
844: A few more cleanups (thanks, Andreas Jabs and Matthias Andree).
1.181 fefe 845: Added an uber-cool linker safeguard feature! Idea by Matthias Andree.
846: If you enable WANT_SAFEGUARD in dietfeatures.h, diet will include an
847: external reference to a symbol that is only in the diet libc. So,
848: when you accidentally link a diet libc compiled object file against
849: glibc, the linker will barf. This will bloat your object files, but
850: you can remove all the references with "strip -R .note" from
851: the binaries in the end (which you should do anyway).
1.182 fefe 852: fix ARM unified syscall (select did not work).
1.183 fefe 853: add getpwent_r ala glibc and replace getpwent
854: do the same for getgrent and getspent
855: remove entlib (new code is smaller)
1.184 fefe 856: rewrite getserv* to use parselib (and provide ..._r, too)
1.185 fefe 857: add getpwnam_r and getpwuid_r
1.186 fefe 858: rewrite getproto* to use parselib (and protive ..._r, too)
1.187 fefe 859: Olaf muddled with the dynamic linker. It's a clean-room
860: implementation in the sense that it once worked for Olaf in a clean
861: room ;)
1.188 fefe 862: add if_nameindex and if_freenameindex.
863: fixed arm unified syscalls to work with current binutils (; is no
864: longer a line separator but starts a comment, switched to .macro)
1.189 fefe 865: changed all st_[cma]time types to signed long so comparisons against
866: LONG_MIN will work correctly. (GNU tar does this)
1.190 fefe 867: fixed two bugs regarding ungetc.
868: add getusershell, setusershell, endusershell (for vs_ftpd)
869: add prctl, dirfd (also for vs_ftpd)
1.191 fefe 870: fixed strftime (was completely hosed)
1.192 fefe 871: added real make install target
1.164 fefe 872:
1.115 fefe 873: 0.11:
874: fix major oops in DNS routines (only with WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF enabled).
1.116 fefe 875: fix vsscanf bug (Thanks, David Chappell).
1.117 fefe 876: add floor, ceil and memchr prototypes.
877: add __builtin_expect and expect #defines for gcc versions below 3.0
1.118 fefe 878: cleaner errno vs __errno_location handling
879: add placeholder iconv (iconv_open will always return EINVAL)
880: try to remove kernel 2.4 header dependency in IPv6 sockaddr_in6
881: initialization of getaddrinfo.
1.119 fefe 882: fix vsnprintf %X (printed lower case)
1.120 fefe 883: I wrote a new getopt. It appears to actually work (it is POSIX
884: compliant, it does not sort argv like the GNU version) and is only
885: a little over 300 bytes on x86.
1.121 fefe 886: Guillaume Cottenceau just wrote me that strncat should be even more
887: broken than it already is: it should append n bytes AND THEN \0!
1.463 leitner 888: I wonder how many programmers have produced off-by-one errors here...
1.122 fefe 889: Fix regexec offset return. autoconf now believes that diet libc has
890: POSIX regular expressions.
1.123 fefe 891: Fix fnmatch (a/b/* matched a/b/c/d even if FNM_PATHNAME was set)
1.124 fefe 892: Fix regular expression match for x* when there is no x at all.
1.668 leitner 893: Fix memory leak in error case in gethostbyname(2|). Thanks, Dietz Pr?pper.
1.126 fefe 894: Add %h to vsnprintf.
1.127 fefe 895: Add FAQ.
1.128 fefe 896: Make %h work for signed numbers and add %hh to vsnprintf.
897: initgroups ignored the group argument :-(
898: remove printf references and nested functions from glob.
1.129 fefe 899: added an errno in libpthread that will display a prominent linker
900: warning.
1.131 fefe 901: started getting rid of kernel headers. Big task! :-(
1.130 fefe 902: add res_mkquery. The diet libc can now compile and link mtr.
1.132 olaf 903: Olaf: added a lot of code in libdl (not yet complete), changed the
904: startup code to make it work with his libdl and ld.so (needs still work
905: too)
1.134 fefe 906: __dns_readstartfiles only took the first domain or search path.
907: Thanks, Anthony de Boer
1.133 olaf 908: Olaf: added clone and a new unified_syscall for PowerPC
909: also dynlinker is now available (i386 only at this time)
1.135 fefe 910: crufted together a stdarg.h implementation from the various gcc headers.
1.136 fefe 911: implement getopt_long (ugh, the GNU people need professional help)
1.137 fefe 912: fixed word delimiters in regex (they looked for space, i.e. "," did
913: not work as delimiter)
1.138 fefe 914: errno.h now declares sys_errlist and sys_nerr.
1.143 fefe 915: added mkdtemp.
1.142 fefe 916: Uwe Ohse reported all of the following bugs:
917: ttyname should return 0 if !isatty.
918: realpath returns NULL if "." cannot be opened
919: putenv erroneously accepted (and mishandled) entries without "=".
920: popen returned 255 instead of 127 if /bin/sh could not be run.
921: fgetc did not set the internal EOF indicator on EOF.
922: bsearch contained an assumption about integer arithmetic overflow
923: behavior.
924: system did not set SIGCHLD and thus contained a race.
925: popen did not set close-on-exec and could leak an fd on malloc error.
1.147 fefe 926: daemon did not check whether open returns an fd below 3
927: perror did not save errno.
1.144 olaf 928: Olaf: Peter Jones reported some problems with perror; strerror had the
929: same problem.
930: Peter also posted a patch to atexit/exit. With some modifications it is
931: now implemented.
1.145 fefe 932: Unbuffered stdio and ungetc can no longer be disabled. I will try to
933: implement part of it using ELF weak symbols.
1.146 fefe 934: Added minimal sysconf (tehe) from David Chappell.
1.148 fefe 935: Added overflow handling for strtoul and strtol.
1.149 fefe 936: Added WANT_ETC_HOSTS in dietfeatures.h and made gethostbyname/2 use
937: it before falling back to DNS if enabled.
1.150 fefe 938: Added a littie backwards compatibility cruft for gpm (man, do these
939: sources stink!)
1.151 fefe 940: Added openpty.
1.152 fefe 941: Squeeze a few bytes off the is* routines, courtesy of Peter Jones.
1.154 fefe 942: Fix fseek return value.
1.155 fefe 943: Add dirname and basename.
1.156 fefe 944: Add a few i386 math routines contributed by Frank Klemm.
1.157 fefe 945: Fixed getservent (did not allow _ and - in the aliases).
946: Thanks, Oden Eriksson
1.158 fefe 947: Added a float.h so configure believes we have ANSI header files.
948: Fix a lot more stdio bugs that Uwe Ohse pointed out.
1.162 fefe 949: Olaf: has added a new scanf and printf core that is suitable for all
1.159 olaf 950: scanf and printf function implementations
1.160 fefe 951: Imported a few more functions and optimizations from Frank Klemm (he
952: also rewrote dtostr to have more precision)
1.161 olaf 953: Olaf: checked in a new sig* function family (based on rt_sig*).
954: legacy <2.2 signal-handling doesn't work at the moment.
1.163 fefe 955: Made rudimentary iconv that can convert back and forth between
956: iso-8859-1, utf-8 and ucs-4 (for debugging).
957: Thanks to Markus Kuhn for the excellent utf-8(7)!
1.115 fefe 958:
1.74 fefe 959: 0.10:
960: update getpagesize.
961: add personality.
1.75 fefe 962: add "%*s" and "%*.*s" support to vsnprintf.
1.76 fefe 963: add putchar (apparently arm-linux-gcc will substitute printf("\n")
964: with putchar('\n') behind your back...?!
1.77 fefe 965: import include/scsi/ from glibc.
1.78 fefe 966: add iopl.
1.80 fefe 967: add execl and sigdelset prototypes.
968: add getopt_long stuff to getopt.h (may compile but won't link).
1.81 fefe 969: add RPC headers (no code yet).
1.82 fefe 970: add mlockall, munlockall
1.83 fefe 971: make "diet gcc foo.c" work.
972: added Sun RPC code and removed as many warnings as possible in a
973: heroic act of self-mutilation.
974: added getproto* and getdtablesize for the RPC cruft :-(
1.84 fefe 975: added getpass. mount from util-linux actually compiles now!
976: fix the sig*set routines. mount actually works now *bg*
977: fix fwrite dividing by zero when trying to fwrite n records of size 0.
1.85 fefe 978: added an initial regex implementation (3500 bytes!!!).
1.87 fefe 979: add llseek and lseek64 with optional lseek fall-back.
1.88 fefe 980: add res_init.
981: add asprintf (ugh, what an ugly function).
1.89 fefe 982: expanded arpa/nameser.h to include backwards compatibility defines
1.90 fefe 983: add ut_name alias to ut_host in struct utmp.
984: add inet_ntop, inet_pton, gethostbyname2.
1.92 fefe 985: add sysinfo, recvmsg, sendmsg.
1.93 fefe 986: add endmntent, getmntent, setmntent.
1.94 fefe 987: fix fnmatch (thanks, Guillaume Cottenceau!)
1.96 fefe 988: add setenv.
989: remove __restrict from mntent.h, add __restrict__ removal alias for
990: older gcc versions in sys/cdefs.h.
991: add rlim_t, sig_atomic_t declarations.
992: add sigsetjmp #define for __sigsetjmp (oops).
993: (Thanks to Chris Siebenmann for these three bug reports)
1.97 fefe 994: add a gruesome hack to printf floating point to accept %f and kludge
995: together support for %.2f. Don't look at the code, please!
1.98 fefe 996: fixed tcsetpgrp (oops, this is embarassing! Thanks, Chris Siebenmann)
1.99 fefe 997: imported fix for entlib by Jeff Garzik.
1.100 fefe 998: add glob implementation from Guillaume Cottenceau (Thanks!!)
999: add libdl fragments from Olaf (Yeah! One step closer to dynamic linking!)
1.101 fefe 1000: add REG_ICASE and word start/end handling to my regular expressions.
1001: my regular expressions now actually match substrings (i.e. "foobar" to "bar").
1.102 fefe 1002: wrap getcwd to comply to man page (the syscall returns the number of
1003: bytes, not the buffer)
1004: add realpath.
1.103 fefe 1005: fix vfprintf.
1.104 fefe 1006: fix *scanf %s zero termination.
1007: add abs, labs, llabs.
1.105 fefe 1008: add <sys/io.h>, ioperm syscall.
1009: add flock to <sys/file.h>
1.106 fefe 1010: fixes to bsearch and the regular expressions.
1.107 fefe 1011: add fake herror.
1.108 fefe 1012: add scandir and alphasort.
1.109 fefe 1013: add killpg
1.110 fefe 1014: implemented a gross hack to make libpthread compile when
1015: dietfeatures.h does not define WANT_THREAD_SAFE (it's empty then).
1.111 fefe 1016: add getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo (man, what a fucked up interface!)
1.112 fefe 1017: fix sigsuspend (syscall had completely fscked up arguments!)
1.113 fefe 1018: RLIM_INFINITY from the kernel is broken. Thanks to Chris Siebenmann
1019: for sending a patch.
1.114 fefe 1020: add getserv*.
1021: add WANT_FULL_RESOLV_CONF so that the DNS routines use "domain" and
1022: "search" from resolv.conf.
1.74 fefe 1023:
1.73 fefe 1024: 0.9:
1.65 fefe 1025: fixed initgroups (oops)
1.66 fefe 1026: Cleanup appending file open for stdio (thanks, James Antill)
1027: imported vfprintf fix from James Antill.
1.67 fefe 1028: add fnmatch
1029: change index, rindex and bcmp as weak ELF symbols (were #defined before)
1.68 fefe 1030: Olaf added character classes to *scanf.
1.69 fefe 1031: Put object and library files into a separate directory (bin-$ARCH).
1032: Add "cross" make target to make all architectures.
1033: Add "diet" program and man page.
1.70 fefe 1034: Add getgrnam, getgrgid
1.71 fefe 1035: Add cfmakeraw (Thanks, Antonio Musumeci)
1.72 fefe 1036: localtime won't call gettimeofday when the tzfile parser is used.
1.65 fefe 1037:
1.64 fefe 1038: 0.8:
1.34 fefe 1039: vsnprintf(0,...) estimated the length of strings with a padding width
1040: incorrectly.
1.35 fefe 1041: new reboot() from Olaf.
1.36 fefe 1042: added prototypes for getsockopt and setsockopt.
1.39 fefe 1043: added experimental sem* and shm*
1.38 fefe 1044: define EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE
1.40 fefe 1045: added setvbuf (only changes mode, not buffer)
1.41 fefe 1046: added dietwarning.h (woohoo, linker warnings!) and used it to warn of
1047: insecurity (system, sprintf) or bloat (printf and stdio).
1.42 fefe 1048: added qsort() and bsearch(). Benchmark on 1000 random ints:
1049: glibc: 679414 cycles qsort and 3352 cycles bsearch
1050: diet libc: 300010 cycles qsort, 553 cycles bsearch
1051: I have no idea why glibc is so slow.
1.43 fefe 1052: added __isnan (references by libm.a from glibc).
1053: added popen() and pclose(). Now the diet libc can link slsh (from
1054: S-Lang!)
1.44 fefe 1055: corrected usleep. It was more of an msleep until now.
1.45 fefe 1056: corrected __dtostr (it looped when trying to format "0.0").
1057: several fixes to stdio (thanks to S-Lang's excellent test suite!)
1.46 fefe 1058: added ungetc (does it work?)
1.47 fefe 1059: added inet_aton (yuck!)
1.50 fefe 1060: added gethostbyname, gethostbyaddr, gethostbyname_r and gethostbyaddr_r
1.48 fefe 1061: added h_errno and __h_errno_location
1062: added inet_ntoa
1.49 fefe 1063: added setpgrp and getpgrp, strsignal and execv (thanks, Olaf)
1.51 fefe 1064: add bcopy, index, rindex macros
1065: add isgraph and isxdigit
1.52 fefe 1066: add strftime (ugh!!!)
1.53 olaf 1067: Olaf fixed strftime, gmtime_r leap year bug.
1.54 fefe 1068: Jeff Garzik contributed a spec file. I put it in contrib and hope
1069: everbody knows what to do with it...
1070: Olaf checked in a ton of libpthread stuff.
1.55 fefe 1071: added mkstemp using /dev/urandom (harder to guess than getpid()).
1.56 fefe 1072: add large file backwards compatibility support (so gzip will run on
1073: kernel 2.2 and 2.0)
1.57 fefe 1074: added shutdown
1.58 fefe 1075: added nice
1076: added pseudo-locale support for is* (they are now weak aliases,
1077: isupper -> __isupper_ascii etc). So, for example, liblatin1 can
1078: overwrite the default is* functions.
1.59 fefe 1079: added liblatin1.a
1.60 fefe 1080: added tzfile implementation (does it work for anyone else?)
1.668 leitner 1081: added syslog(3) (thanks to Rene M?ller!)
1.62 fefe 1082: Jeff Garzik contributed getgr*, getpw* and getsp* in one tiny package.
1083: Thanks!
1.63 fefe 1084: merged duplicate code in execv and execvp into exec_lib.o
1.34 fefe 1085:
1.21 fefe 1086: 0.7.2:
1087: added several prototypes to already implemented functions and
1088: <sys/reboot.h>. Thanks for Abraham for pointing this out.
1.22 fefe 1089: added prototypes for process group and dup syscalls. Thanks to
1090: Abraham again. He also contributed an implementation for daemon(),
1091: an ugly BSD hack. I decided to diversify the lib/ directory a
1092: little and now created a libugly/ directory for stuff like system()
1093: and daemon() ;-)
1094: added libstdio and moved all that stdio crap from lib/ there. The
1095: idea is to start separating now what we will separate for shared
1096: libraries anyway.
1.26 fefe 1097: optimized x86 unified-syscall by Olaf.
1.27 fefe 1098: added limits.h, removed __ARCHBITS from endian.h (use __WORDSIZE from
1099: limits.h instead)
1100: added remove.c and enough cruft to limits.h to make it compile lzo,
1101: lzop and bzip2.
1.28 fefe 1102: added mktime, asctime_r, asctime and ctime (needed for gzip).
1103: Someone will need to implement a reader for the glibc localtime file
1.31 fefe 1104: format some day (man tzfile, ugh!) :-(
1.29 fefe 1105: added unlink prototype to unistd.h.
1106: added gmtime and gmtime_r.
1.31 fefe 1107: fixed sparc unified syscall error handling (please upgrade!).
1.30 fefe 1108: removed readdir glibc compatibility cruft.
1.31 fefe 1109: removed stat glibc compatibility cruft.
1.32 fefe 1110: oops, my fread was broken for pipes.
1.33 fefe 1111: Olaf found a bug in pipe() for sparc, too.
1.21 fefe 1112:
1.9 fefe 1113: 0.7.1:
1.11 fefe 1114: optimized away the static arrays from __ltostr and __lltostr.
1115: optimized away the static arrays (and more!) from strtoul and strtoull.
1116: added system (by Olaf).
1.12 fefe 1117: added tolower and toupper
1.13 fefe 1118: added getopt from Olaf (~600 bytes on x86!)
1.14 fefe 1119: added clone for mips (by Olaf).
1120: fixed longjmp and setjmp on sparc not to require glibc include files.
1.15 olaf 1121: added pause for all (by Olaf).
1.17 fefe 1122: added __attribute__ ((__const__)) to ctype.h
1.16 fefe 1123: added isupper and islower.
1124: added putc and putchar as macros.
1.17 fefe 1125: added strcasecmp and strncasecmp (thanks to Abraham vd Merwe for
1126: insightful discussions and patches I partially used for the last three)
1.18 fefe 1127: added getpriority and setpriority (also by Abraham)
1.19 fefe 1128: oops, I broke strtoul in a recent optimization attempt.
1.20 fefe 1129: oi, setjmp and longjmp were broken on other platforms, too!
1.668 leitner 1130: Thanks to S?bastien C?t? for reporting this.
1.9 fefe 1131:
1132: 0.7:
1.6 olaf 1133: clone support for i386,alpha,arm and sparc by Olaf.
1.1 cvs 1134: Initial dynamic loading glue for i386, also by Olaf.
1135: We don't have a dynamic loader yet, so this is not yet usable.
1136: added readv, sigdelset, sigaltstack, sigfillset, sigismember, usleep,
1137: vsprintf, writev, all by Olaf.
1.2 fefe 1138: imported readdir fix from Guillaume. Mhh, can the kernel interface
1139: really be this broken?
1.3 fefe 1140: Found a kludgy way to detect whether the kernel includes define struct
1141: stat64 (they also define STAT64_HAS_BROKEN_ST_INO). If this does
1142: not work for you, please tell me!
1.4 fefe 1143: Removed bogus __seek_types enum, it's a bunch of #defines now.
1.7 fefe 1144: Fixed stdio line buffering. The code was already there but I forgot
1145: to mark stdio and stdout as line buffered. This should really be
1146: done dynamically using isatty, though.
1.8 fefe 1147: Removed superfluous "if (1)" in execvp.c
1.1 cvs 1148:
1149: 0.6.14:
1150: *scanf did not append the 0 byte for %s.
1151: added creat and changed creat to call open directly instead of open64.
1152: did for fread what 0.6.10 did for fwrite.
1153: repaired buffered stdio a little (line buffering is still not
1154: supported).
1155: [All of these bugs have been reported by Guillaume. Thanks!]
1156: added __pure__ to strchr and strrchr in <string.h>
1157:
1158: 0.6.13:
1159: included COPYING to make clear that the diet libc is covered by the
1160: GNU General Public License (and _not_ the LGPL). That means that
1161: you need to obtain a license from me if you want to use the diet
1162: libc in a proprietary program that you want to distribute.
1163: The x86 unified syscall swapped arguments #4 and #5 and noone
1164: noticed until now! Thanks to Guillaume Cottenceau for reporting
1165: this!
1166: The malloc had a subtle bug with small allocations that could cause
1167: segfault. Guillaume reported it, Olaf fixed it.
1168:
1169: 0.6.12:
1170: added assert, statfs and fstatfs
1171: added include/net/if.h so fget compiles again.
1172:
1173: 0.6.11:
1174: added putenv.
1175:
1176: 0.6.10:
1177: fixed fwrite. It returned the number of bytes written, not the number
1178: of records. Thanks to Albert D. Cahalan for pointing this out.
1179: fixed fgets. It returned EOF on empty lines. Thanks, Erik Frey.
1180: added brk and sbrk. harold@nb.com.sg made me do it.
1181:
1182: 0.6.9:
1183: fixed execvp not to return on ENOENT
1184: did for {open|read|close|seek|tell}dir what I did for stat before.
1185: The glibc compatibility part is currently non-functional.
1186: fixed white space handling in sscanf " (" would not match " (".
1187: fixed printf to accept 'l' flag.
1188: fixed getpwuid (ignored last line)
1189:
1190: 0.6.8:
1191: Olaf contributed initial thread-safe syscalls for i386, alpha, sparc,
1192: mips and arm. I did the one for ppc. They can be enabled in dietfeatures.h.
1193: added strlcpy and strlcat from OpenBSD.
1194: added stat64, fstat64 and lstat64.
1195: added endian.h and made ending of strlen.c endianness-aware
1196: added string routines size tweak to dietfeatures.h. Most of the
1197: string routines have been unrolled. This is up to three times as
1198: fast but creates up to three times larger code. Now you can disable
1199: the unrolling.
1200: added sendfile.
1201: I also added pread. It works on x86 and sparc but not on ppc and mips.
1202: I have no idea what's going on. strace disagrees with the kernel.
1203: Can anyone help? I asked the Linux kernel mailing list for help, too.
1204: added a few aliases of the type __libc_open for open. nm on
1205: libpthreads.so indicates that we will need them.
1206:
1207: 0.6.7:
1208: the sources now compile without warnings with -Wall.
1209: printf now prints "(null)" when %s is passed NULL. This can be
1210: removed with WANT_NULL_PRINTF in dietfeatures.h
1211: added vfprintf, execl, ttyname.
1212: stat, lstat and fstat are now #defined to __dietstat, __dietlstat and
1213: __dietfstat so they can use the normal kernel struct stat.
1214: stat, lstat and fstat are now C wrappers that convert to the glibc
1215: struct stat. So we can avoid that overhead for programs that use
1216: dietlibc headers.
1217:
1218: 0.6.6:
1219: changed the Makefiles so you can now set CFLAGS on the command line
1220: added memccmp (analogous to memccpy) and strncmp.
1221: Olaf fixed another bug in the sparc unified syscall.
1222: Paul Clifford contributed a C version of his strlen.S that is much
1223: more efficient than the previous strlen on all platforms! It also
1224: looks like technology from Roswell. ;-}
1225: added a "real" stdio. Well, almost. Please contribute!
1226: added dietfeatures.h so you can remove features you don't need.
1227: removed debug code from vsnprintf that changed \0 to ' ' (argh!).
1228: stdio now works with simple programs and minigzip from libz.
1229: stdio uses some major trickery to avoid linking the stdio, stderr and
1230: stdout (and reserving space for them) when they are not used.
1231:
1232: 0.6.5:
1233: Red Plait <redplait@ixcelerator.com> found several bugs in diet libc,
1234: most of them bugs in the new header files, but also missing sigset
1235: functions.
1236: Paul Clifford contributed an assembly strlen.S for ARM and fixed
1237: several bugs.
1238: Fixed ppc/setjmp and mips/pipe.
1239: Olaf contributed a new sparc unified syscall.
1240:
1241: 0.6.4:
1242: declared is* static inline in getservent.
1243: added assert_fail, strtoul, isalpha, isdigit, isalnum, isascii.
1244: changed strlen to return 0 when passed NULL.
1245: new, much smaller unified syscall for MIPS. Thanks to Olaf the Mad
1246: Scientist who actually implemented this without access to a MIPS
1247: box, just from reading the architecture manual. And it worked out
1248: of the box.
1249: started a set of system includes, mainly so that I can use lcc and
1250: my alpha-linux cross compiler (which is unable to cross-compile
1251: glibc). diet libc can now be compiled without any include files
1252: from a normal libc. The includes do declare more than diet libc
1253: currently delivers and they are still far from complete for real
1254: applications.
1255: I will only add assembly versions that are smaller _and_ faster than
1256: the C version. Larger routines are only accepted if they are called
1257: very often and are substantially faster.
1258: added i386 assembly strchr, which is smaller and faster than the old
1259: version. It is, however, larger than the version contributed by
1260: proton (thanks, anyway).
1261: added i386 strlen (31% faster, 14% smaller)
1262: "make t" will now create a map file called "mapfile".
1263:
1264: 0.6.3:
1265: added sys_errlist, strerror and perror
1266: added isblank
1267: added atol
1268:
1269: 0.6.2:
1270: mmap for ARM didn't compile. Thanks, Paul!
1271:
1272: 0.6.1:
1273: split mmap into the architecture specific subdirectories.
1274: getenv now copes with environ==NULL, thanks Paul Clifford.
1275: Paul also contributed a smaller ARM startup code.
1276:
1277: 0.6:
1.668 leitner 1278: strcat returned the wrong result. Thanks, Dietz Pr?pper.
1.1 cvs 1279: strtod now understands a negative exponent (oops, thanks Bertram Barth)
1280: Port to arm-linux-gnu, but on the Netwinder I use for testing the
1281: __dtostr does not work (I have no idea why!)
1282: The MIPS port now uses (much smaller) non-PIC code. That means that
1283: the applications you link against diet libc also have to be compiled
1284: non-PIC. I suggest copying the CFLAGS from the diet libc Makefile.
1.668 leitner 1285: Thanks to Ralf B?chle for helping me with this!
1.1 cvs 1286: I made subdirectories for the architectures and use VPATH to override
1287: VPATH so that make finds the source file automatically. That should
1288: simplify the sources greatly.
1289: Olaf Dreesen contributed Alpha support including setjmp and longjmp!
1290: ARM and MIPS now also have setjmp and longjmp
1291: "compile" and "load" are now make targets. Use them for djb programs.
1292: added contrib/elftrunc.c which will remove unnecessary ELF headers.
1293: Again, contributed from Olaf. Great work!
1294:
1295: 0.5.12:
1296: printf also does signed numbers.
1297: If you don't use atexit, dietlibc now does not link exit, only _exit.
1298: *printf now correctly returns the number of bytes written.
1299: Olaf contributed experimental sscanf and vsscanf implementations.
1300: If passed NULL as buffer, snprintf will not write anything but still
1301: return the number of bytes it would have written.
1302: Initial MIPS port! (Oh, the agony!)
1303: No setjmp and longjmp support yet! Please contribute!
1304: I even implemented unified syscalls for MIPS. Still, MIPS code is
1305: almost twice the size of SPARC code. If anyone knows why: please
1306: tell me!
1307:
1308: 0.5.11:
1309: I implemented new unified syscalls for x86, sparc and ppc, this time based
1310: on .s files and not .c files, and I moved the syscalls into
1311: subdirectores to clean the dietlibc sources up a little.
1312: A binary consisting of printf("%s is %d\n","olaf",23) is now
1313: 2864 bytes on sparc
1314: 2488 bytes on intel
1315: I kludgily implemented fprintf(stdout,... and fprintf(stderr,...
1316: to make a few more applications work.
1317: Olaf Dreesen also implemented some unified syscall stuff for x86.
1318: He discovered that with our unified syscall interface it actually
1319: costs <10 bytes total to make all system calls thread safe!
1320: I implemented atexit() (can register up to 4 callbacks).
1321: I implemented strtod and __dtostr (the opposite). Now we can add
1322: floating point support to vsnprintf and sscanf!
1323:
1324: 0.5.10:
1325: I actually saw that I can not only merge the errno handling code of
1326: the system calls on x86, I can also merge the rest (including the
1327: arguments) except for setting the system call number. All those
1328: system calls are now just a jump to a unified system call handler.
1329: I got rid of x86openclose again. The savings are substantial:
1330: chown from embutils went from 7664 to 7184 bytes!
1331: If I'd move the system call wrappers to assembly language, I could
1332: even reduce the alignment (does not matter since it's just a jump
1333: anyway) and get rid of the "ret" behind each jump (one byte per
1334: system call!)
1335:
1336: 0.5.9:
1337: added memchr, strpbrk, strstr, strtol, isspace (hehe)
1338: fixed strdup
1339: fixed return values for strcpy and strcat (thanks to Norbert Berzen)
1340: Olaf Dreesen contributed a strtol and initial {sn|vsn|}printf implementation
1341: (no signed integers, only strings and unsigned integers (but
1342: supporting octal, hex and decimal). Thanks, Olaf! (by the way:
1343: that code must be wonderful, I don't understand it at all *bg*)
1344: Olaf's printf does understand padding like in "%08d" and "%8d" and
1345: automatically pads pointers with '0'.
1346: Rewrote the x86 start code, old: 22 instructions, new: 12 instructions.
1347: Thanks to proton for inspiration on this.
1348: The new x86 start code also does not reference exit any more, thus saving
1349: 64 bytes for executables that don't call exit explicitly.
1350: [insert maniacal laughter] EVERY BYTE COUNTS!1!! ;-)
1351: Moved errno and environ to start.S, saving no byte binary size but
1352: speeding up compilation and slightly shortening dietlibc.a ;-)
1353: For x86: joined open and close into one assembler file, sharing the
1354: errno handling. This is a feasibility test and it actually saves a
1355: few bytes. I think I will reimplement the _syscall[1-6] macros on
1356: all platforms now to share the errno handling code for them.
1357:
1358: 0.5.8:
1359: fixed strchr to be able to look for 0.
1360:
1361: added _llseek, ftruncate, getpgid, getresgid, getresuid, getsid,
1362: memccpy, memmove, mprotect, setregid, setresgid, setresuid, setreuid,
1363: strncpy, swapon, truncate, strtok, strtok_r, strspn, strcspn (all
1364: contributed by Olaf Dreesen)
1365:
1366: added execvp, getcwd
1367:
1368: fixed __xmknod
1369:
1370: Note: can it be that the ftw interface really is so broken that I
1371: cannot implement it without having to implement some searching data
1372: structure? I included an experimental ftw implementation that will
1373: not follow symlinks.
1374:
1375: 0.5.7:
1376: oops, if_nametoindex was broken!
1377:
1378: 0.5.6:
1379: ported to ppc-linux.
1380: fixed i386 sigsetjmp (I mistyped the function name)
1381: included sigjmp.c
1382:
1383: 0.5.5:
1384: added wait, sys_siglist, longjmp/setjmp/sigsetjmp for i386 and sparc
1385: actually, it wasn't fork that wasn't working for sparc, it was pipe.
