Implement strlcpy and strlcat [BZ #178]

2023-06-14T16:10:08Z

These functions are about to be added to POSIX, under Austin Group issue 986. The fortified strlcat implementation does not raise SIGABRT if the destination buffer does not contain a null terminator, it just inherits the non-failing regular strlcat behavior. Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar

String: Add support for __memcmpeq() ABI on all targets

2021-10-26T21:51:29Z

No bug. This commit adds support for __memcmpeq() as a new ABI for all targets. In this commit __memcmpeq() is implemented only as an alias to the corresponding targets memcmp() implementation. __memcmpeq() is added as a new symbol starting with GLIBC_2.35 and defined in string.h with comments explaining its behavior. Basic tests that it is callable and works where added in string/tester.c As discussed in the proposal "Add new ABI '__memcmpeq()' to libc" __memcmpeq() is essentially a reserved namespace for bcmp(). The means is shares the same specifications as memcmp() except the return value for non-equal byte sequences is any non-zero value. This is less strict than memcmp()'s return value specification and can be better optimized when a boolean return is all that is needed. __memcmpeq() is meant to only be called by compilers if they can prove that the return value of a memcmp() call is only used for its boolean value. All tests in string/tester.c passed. As well build succeeds on x86_64-linux-gnu target.

string: Add strerrorname_np and strerrordesc_np

2020-07-07T18:02:57Z

The strerrorname_np returns error number name (e.g. "EINVAL" for EINVAL) while strerrordesc_np returns string describing error number (e.g "Invalid argument" for EINVAL). Different than strerror, strerrordesc_np does not attempt to translate the return description, both functions return NULL for an invalid error number. They should be used instead of sys_errlist and sys_nerr, both are thread and async-signal safe. These functions are GNU extensions. Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, and s390x-linux-gnu. Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell

string: Add sigabbrev_np and sigdescr_np

2020-07-07T17:57:14Z

The sigabbrev_np returns the abbreviated signal name (e.g. "HUP" for SIGHUP) while sigdescr_np returns the string describing the error number (e.g "Hangup" for SIGHUP). Different than strsignal, sigdescr_np does not attempt to translate the return description and both functions return NULL for an invalid signal number. They should be used instead of sys_siglist or sys_sigabbrev and they are both thread and async-signal safe. They are added as GNU extensions on string.h header (same as strsignal). Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, and s390x-linux-gnu. Tested-by: Carlos O'Donell Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell

New string function explicit_bzero (from OpenBSD).

2016-12-16T21:21:54Z

explicit_bzero(s, n) is the same as memset(s, 0, n), except that the compiler is not allowed to delete a call to explicit_bzero even if the memory pointed to by 's' is dead after the call. Right now, this effect is achieved externally by having explicit_bzero be a function whose semantics are unknown to the compiler, and internally, with a no-op asm statement that clobbers memory. This does mean that small explicit_bzero operations cannot be expanded inline as small memset operations can, but on the other hand, small memset operations do get deleted by the compiler. Hopefully full compiler support for explicit_bzero will happen relatively soon. There are two new tests: test-explicit_bzero.c verifies the visible semantics in the same way as the existing test-bzero.c, and tst-xbzero-opt.c verifies the not-being-optimized-out property. The latter is conceptually based on a test written by Matthew Dempsky for the OpenBSD regression suite. The crypt() implementation has an immediate use for this new feature. We avoid having to add a GLIBC_PRIVATE alias for explicit_bzero by running all of libcrypt's calls through the fortified variant, __explicit_bzero_chk, which is in the impl namespace anyway. Currently I'm not aware of anything in libc proper that needs this, but the glue is all in place if it does become necessary. The legacy DES implementation wasn't bothering to clear its buffers, so I added that, mostly for consistency's sake. * string/explicit_bzero.c: New routine. * string/test-explicit_bzero.c, string/tst-xbzero-opt.c: New tests. * string/Makefile (routines, strop-tests, tests): Add them. * string/test-memset.c: Add ifdeffage for testing explicit_bzero. * string/string.h [__USE_MISC]: Declare explicit_bzero. * debug/explicit_bzero_chk.c: New routine. * debug/Makefile (routines): Add it. * debug/tst-chk1.c: Test fortification of explicit_bzero. * string/bits/string3.h: Fortify explicit_bzero. * manual/string.texi: Document explicit_bzero. * NEWS: Mention addition of explicit_bzero. * crypt/crypt-entry.c (__crypt_r): Clear key-dependent intermediate data before returning, using explicit_bzero. * crypt/md5-crypt.c (__md5_crypt_r): Likewise. * crypt/sha256-crypt.c (__sha256_crypt_r): Likewise. * crypt/sha512-crypt.c (__sha512_crypt_r): Likewise. * include/string.h: Redirect internal uses of explicit_bzero to __explicit_bzero_chk[_internal]. * string/Versions [GLIBC_2.25]: Add explicit_bzero. * debug/Versions [GLIBC_2.25]: Add __explicit_bzero_chk. * sysdeps/arm/nacl/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/hppa/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/coldfire/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/m680x0/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/fpu/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/nofpu/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/nofpu/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/libc-le.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sh/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc32/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sparc/sparc64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/tilegx/tilegx32/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/tilegx/tilegx64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile/tilepro/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/64/libc.abilist * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/libc.abilist: Add entries for explicit_bzero and __explicit_bzero_chk.

Improve generic strcspn performance

2016-04-01T13:44:40Z

Improve strcspn performance using a much faster algorithm. It is kept simple so it works well on most targets. It is generally at least 10 times faster than the existing implementation on bench-strcspn on a few AArch64 implementations, and for some tests 100 times as fast (repeatedly calling strchr on a small string is extremely slow...). In fact the string/bits/string2.h inlines make no longer sense, as GCC already uses strlen if reject is an empty string, strchrnul is 5 times as fast as __strcspn_c1, while __strcspn_c2 and __strcspn_c3 are slower than the strcspn main loop for large strings (though reject length 2-4 could be special cased in the future to gain even more performance). Tested on x86_64, i686, and aarch64. * string/Version (libc): Add GLIBC_2.24. * string/strcspn.c (strcspn): Rewrite function. * string/bits/string2.h (strcspn): Use __builtin_strcspn. (__strcspn_c1): Remove inline function. (__strcspn_c2): Likewise. (__strcspn_c3): Likewise. * string/string-inline.c [SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strcspn_c1): Add compatibility symbol. [SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strcspn_c2): Likewise. [SHLIB_COMPAT(libc, GLIBC_2_1_1, GLIBC_2_24)] (__strcspn_c3): Likewise. * sysdeps/i386/string-inlines.c: Include generic string-inlines.c.
