Remove 'grp' and merge into 'nss' and 'posix'

2023-10-24T10:30:59Z

The majority of grp routines are entry points for nss functionality. This commit removes the 'grp' subdirectory and moves all nss-relevant functionality and all tests to 'nss', and the 'setgroups' stub into 'posix' (alongside the 'getgroups' stub). References to grp/ are accordingly changed. In addition, compat-initgroups.c, a fallback implementation of initgroups is renamed to initgroups-fallback.c so that the build system does not confuse it for nss_compat/compat-initgroups.c. Build time improves very slightly; e.g. down from an average of 45.5s to 44.5s on an 8-thread mobile x86_64 CPU. Reviewed-by: Adhemerval Zanella

Move libc_freeres_ptrs and libc_subfreeres to hidden/weak functions

2023-03-27T16:57:55Z

They are both used by __libc_freeres to free all library malloc allocated resources to help tooling like mtrace or valgrind with memory leak tracking. The current scheme uses assembly markers and linker script entries to consolidate the free routine function pointers in the RELRO segment and to be freed buffers in BSS. This patch changes it to use specific free functions for libc_freeres_ptrs buffers and call the function pointer array directly with call_function_static_weak. It allows the removal of both the internal macros and the linker script sections. Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell

Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights

I used these shell commands: ../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright (cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]") and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning: copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO. I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h, support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not. remote: *** 912-#endif remote: *** 913: remote: *** 914- remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found ... remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines

Remove "Contributed by" lines

2021-09-03T16:36:44Z

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012 in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect reality in those cases. Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by, etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a courtesy to the earlier developers. The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be of any use in future given that this is a one time task: https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/b5ecac94eabfd72ed2916d6d8157e7dc https://gist.github.com/siddhesh/15ea1f5e435ace9774f485030695ee02 Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell

nsswitch: handle missing actions properly

2020-12-14T17:19:43Z

Some internal functions need to know if a database has a nonzero list of actions; success getting the database does not guarantee that. Add checks for such as needed. Skip the ":" in each nsswitch.conf line so as not to add a dummy action libnss_:.so See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1906066 Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar
