Commit Message

Adhemerval Zanella Netto April 8, 2024, 6:49 p.m. UTC
The gnulib version contains an important change (9ce573cde), which
fixes some problems with multithreading, entropy loss, and ASLR leak
nfo.  It also fixes a current issue where getrandom is not being used
on some new files generation (only for __GT_NOCREATE on first try).

The 044bf893ac removed __path_search, which is now moved to another
gnulib shared files (stdio-common/tmpdir.{c,h}) and this patch
also fixes direxists to use __stat64_time64 instead of __xstat64.

The sync also removed the clock fallback, since clock_gettime is
expected to always succeed.

It syncs with gnulib commit 323834962817af7b115187e8c9a833437f8d20ec.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

Hi Adhemerval,

Just a few comments, concentrating on the differences between gnulib
and glibc.

Thanks; I now see that I had suggested this in
<https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2022-08/msg00077.html>.

1) In gnulib, tmpdir.h and tmpdir.c are under LGPLv3+.
   For glibc, the license header needs to be changed to LGPLv2+.
   That is

     s/version 3/version 2.1/

   But before doing this, you need to get permission to do it.
   Since the copyright header says "(C) FSF", you need to ask the FSF's
   copyright clerk for this permission. Last I tried, this process is
   very VERY *VERY* slow.
   Alternatively, you can ask the contributors of significant changes
   for their permission.
   - For tmpdir.h, on its way
     gettext/lib/tmpdir.h -> gettext/gettext-tools/lib/tmpdir.h -> gnulib/lib/tmpdir.h
     that's only me. (I checked the git history.)
   - For tmpdir.c, on its way
     glibc/sysdeps/posix/tempname.c -> gettext/lib/tmpdir.c ->
     gettext/gettext-tools/lib/tmpdir.c -> gnulib/lib/tmpdir.c
     that's only me (2011-08-23) and Paul Eggert (2013-07-15).
     (I checked the git history.)

   I hereby give the permission to relax the license of tmpdir.[hc]
   to LGPLv2+.

   Paul, do you do the same?

2) In tmpdir.c: Please conditionalize the
     #include "pathmax.h"
   with
     #ifndef _LIBC
   not
     #if defined _WIN32 && ! defined __CYGWIN__
   so that this change can be merged back to gnulib.

3) In sysdeps/posix/tempname.c:

+#if !_LIBC
   *r = mix_random_values (v, clock ());
+#endif

   How about adding a comment here?

  /* In glibc, clock_gettime is expected to always succeed.  */
+#if !_LIBC
   *r = mix_random_values (v, clock ());
+#endif

Yes, that's fine, thanks.

Thanks, I will send an updated patch.
