Otherwise, _rtld_bind() (and whatever it calls) could possibly clobber
function arguments that are passed in SSE/3DNow/MMX/FP registers,
usually floating point values. This can happen, for example, when clang
generates SSE code for memset() or memcpy() calls.
One symptom of this is sshd dying early on amd64 with "PRNG not seeded",
which is ultimately caused by libcrypto.so.6 calling RAND_add() with a
double parameter. That parameter is passed via %xmm0, which gets wiped
out by an SSE memset() in _rtld_bind().

With r169630 I disabled symbol versioning because it broke rtld. With

with r212497. In between, r211749 removed the exports table because the
version script handled the exports. But wait, symbol versioning was
disabled on ia64.
With exports controlled by the version script and symbol versioning

So, enable symbol versioning on ia64 and apply a work-around for the
SIGSEGV that triggered r169630 to begin with: when rtld relocates
itself, it comes across r_debug_state and for some reason can't find the
definition. This causes a failure, relocation aborts and null pointers
galore. The work-around is to ignore the missing definition when rtld
is relocating itself and keep going.
Maybe with the next binutils this will all go away. Maybe not, in
which case I still need to figure out why r_debug_state cannot be found.

lot better than what's in the tree now. Edwin tested it at a prior
employer, but can't test it today. I've found that it works a lot
better with the various uboot versions that I've used in my embedded
work. Here's the pkg-descr from the port that describes the changes:
It all started when we got some new routers, which told me the
following when trying to upload configuration or download images
from it: The TFTP server doesn't support the blocksize option.
My curiousity was triggered, it took me some reading of RFCs and
other documentation to find out what was possible and what could
be done. Was plain TFTP very simple in its handshake, TFTP with
options was kind of messy because of its backwards capability: The
first packet returned could either be an acknowledgement of options,
or the first data packet.
Going through the source code of src/libexec/tftpd and going through
the code of src/usr.bin/tftp showed that there was a lot of duplicate
code, and the addition of options would only increase the amount
of duplicate code. After all, both the client and the server can
act as a sender and receiver.
At the end, it ended up with a nearly complete rewrite of the tftp
client and server. It has been tested against the following TFTP
clients and servers:
- Itself (yay!)
- The standard FreeBSD tftp client and server
- The Fedora Core 6 tftp client and server
- Cisco router tftp client
- Extreme Networks tftp client
It supports the following RFCs:
RFC1350 - THE TFTP PROTOCOL (REVISION 2)
RFC2347 - TFTP Option Extension
RFC2348 - TFTP Blocksize Option
RFC2349 - TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options
RFC3617 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Scheme and Applicability
Statement for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
It supports the following unofficial TFTP Options as described at
http://www.compuphase.com/tftp.htm:
blksize2 - Block size restricted to powers of 2, excluding protocol headers
rollover - Block counter roll-over (roll back to zero or to one)
From the tftp program point of view the following things are changed:
- New commands: "blocksize", "blocksize2", "rollover" and "options"
- Development features: "debug" and "packetdrop"
If you try this tftp/tftpd implementation, please let me know if
it works (or doesn't work) and against which implementaion so I can
get a list of confirmed working systems.

that the blocksize is 4 * DEV_BSIZE. This will lose the minimal

Also perform a small cleanup to ftpd_logwtmp(). Just use a NULL

Reported by: Alexey Shuvaev <shuvaev physik uni-wuerzburg de>
The ttyslot() function was originally part for SUSv1, marked LEGACY in
SUSv2 and removed later on. This function only makes sense when using
utmp(5), because it was used to determine the offset of the record for
the controlling TTY. It makes little sense to keep it here, because the
new utmpx file format doesn't index based on TTY slots.
Unfortunately I have to partially wreck its functionality, though. ftpd
used to keep a file descriptor to the wtmp, which allowed it to work
from within a chroot. The current utmpx implementation doesn't offer a
way to do this. Maybe we can address this in the future, if it turns out
to be a real issue.
It seems comsat stats the utmpx database each 15 seconds to see whether
it has been changed. I am changing this behaviour to look at the utmpx
database upon processing. I don't want to allow direct interference with
the database files. I also wonder whether this optimization has any
measurable performance benefit nowadays.
- It shouldn't call logwtmp(). Applications like login(1) already make
sure both login and logout entries are written to the storage.
- There's no need to restore permissions on the pseudo-terminal, since
it should be garbage collected by the kernel.
Just like bin/ and sbin/, I think setting WARNS to the highest value
possible will make it more attractive for people to fix warnings.
- The WARNS variable is set in the Makefile in the directory of the
application itself, making it more likely that it will be removed out
of curiosity to see what happens.
- New applications will most likely build with WARNS=6 out of the box,
because the author would more likely fix the warnings during
development than lower WARNS.
Unfortunately almost all apps in libexec require a lowered value of
WARNS.
Because strings are now null-terminated, I've decided to just use an
array of utmpx structures, instead of the separated strings. This means
we just copy the entire utmpx structure and point to the strings within
the structures directly.
I increased the WARNS, but it looks like it breaks certain architectures
with more strict alignment requirements (mips, sparc64, ia64).
Pointy hat to: me
One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.

for the mapping by the object' file with the protection and mode of
the first loadable segment over the whole region. Then, it maps other
segments at the appropriate addresses inside the region.
On amd64, due to default alignment of the segments being 1Gb, the
subsequent segment mappings leave the holes in the region, that usually
contain mapping of the object' file past eof. Such mappings prevent
wiring of the address space, because the pages cannot be faulted in.
Change the way the mapping of the ELF objects is constructed, by first
mapping PROT_NONE anonymous memory over the whole range, and then
mapping the segments of the object over it. Take advantage of this new
order and allocate .bss by changing the protection of the range instead
of remapping.
Note that we cannot simply keep the holes between segments, because
other mappings may be made there. Among other issues, when the dso is
unloaded, rtld unmaps the whole region, deleting unrelated mappings.
The kernel ELF image activator does put the holes between segments, but
this is not critical for now because kernel loads only executable image
and interpreter, both cannot be unloaded. This will be fixed later, if

2. removing as much locking dependencies among these layers as
possible to allow for some parallelism in the search operations
3. simplify the logic in the routing code,
The most notable end result is the obsolescent of the route

in both IPv4 ARP and IPv6 NDP related modules, and size reduction in

Before we had a posix_openpt() that allocated PTY's with proper

In my first designs of the MPSAFE TTY layer, I replaced this by adding

permissions properly upon creation. Fortunately the previous grantpt()
implementation changed permissions by hand when pt_chown is not
installed, which always succeeds. This means grantpt() still works
properly, even though the set-uid utility is missing.
I've done tests with FreeBSD 5.2.1, FreeBSD 6.3 and FreeBSD 7.0 jails.
All of them still work if I remove pt_chown.

understand which code paths aren't possible.
This commit eliminates 117 false positive bug reports of the form
"allocate memory; error out if pointer is NULL; use pointer".
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing, but it may be
turned opt-in for stable branches depending on the consensus. You
can turn it off with WITHOUT_SSP.
- WITHOUT_SSP was previously used to disable the build of GNU libssp.
It is harmless to steal the knob as SSP symbols have been provided
by libc for a long time, GNU libssp should not have been much used.
- SSP is disabled in a few corners such as system bootstrap programs
(sys/boot), process bootstrap code (rtld, csu) and SSP symbols themselves.
- It should be safe to use -fstack-protector-all to build world, however
libc will be automatically downgraded to -fstack-protector because it
breaks rtld otherwise.
- This option is unavailable on ia64.
Enable GCC stack protection (aka Propolice) for kernel:
- It is opt-out for now so as to give it maximum testing.
- Do not compile your kernel with -fstack-protector-all, it won't work.
