These changes should fix the signal "problems" in ppp.
The signal changes should really be put into 2.2 too !
The following patches should do it. There were some other
changes made by Andrey recently that havn't been brought
into 2.2, it may be worth doing them now.
dangerous! Signal handlers themself must be fixed to not call malloc,
but no pended handlers, it will be correct fix. In finite case each signal
handler can set some variable which will be analized later, but calling
handler functions manually is too dangerous (f.e. signals not blocked while
the handler or handlers switch executed in this case). Of course this
code can be fixed instead of removing, but it not worth fixing in any case.
Should go into 2.2
In addition sig.c code shows following dangerous fragments (there can be more,
but I stop after two):
This fragment
if (fn == SIG_DFL || fn == SIG_IGN) {
handler[sig-1] = (sig_type)0;
<------------- here
signal(sig,fn);
} else {
cause NULL pointer reference when signal comes
"here", but more worse fragment is below:
void handle_signals() {
int sig;
if (caused)
for (sig=0; sig<__MAXSIG; sig++, caused>>=1)
if (caused&1)
(*handler[sig])(sig+1);
}
caused is bitmask which set corresponding bit on each signal coming.
And now imagine, what happens when some signal comes (bit sets) while loop
is executed (see caused>>=1 !!!)
In this light carrier drop situation was (as gdb shows)
1. SIGSEGV in handle_signals because some junk called as *handler reference.
2. Since SIGSEGV was pended too (== never happens),
it can cause various range of disasters.
Remove #include's from sig.h and get dependant modules to include them
themselves. Make inclusion of if_var.h depend on __FreeBSD_version so
that the -current version of ppp can be used with 2.1.*
2.2 Candidate ?
All signal() calls have been changed to pending_signal() calls.
pending_signal() is defined in the new sig.c file. It remembers
the handler and traps the signal with a function that will remember
the signal.
main.c now calls handle_signals() to actually call the required
handlers (if the above handler was called).
If this doesn't close PR2662 (was PR2347), I'll cry.
Joerg, I think this should go into 2.2, but I havn't done anything
about it because I'm bound to botch it with the new sig.[ch] files.
I've just "cvs add"'d sig.[ch] so far.... can you update to 2.2 and
tell me what you did ? Thanks.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
to be used to expand things beyond the size of the buffer passed in. Also
do a general cleanup of sprintf -> snprintf as well as strcpy and strncat
safety. Also expand some buffers to allow for the largest possible data
that might be used.
This is a 2.2 candidate. However, it needs to be vetted on -current
since little testing has been done on this due to my lack of PPP on
this machine.

add some logging functionality which I find very useful.
'set debug link' will record just link up/down and address assignments.
'set debug connect' will record the entire chat dialog
'set debug carrier' will record just chat lines including 'CARRIER'
(so that I can be sure I'm getting a 28.8 line).
There was a global change required to permit LogPrintf to take a bit
mask instead of a bit position value (to permit logging some events
on either of two flags, so that no change in 'set debug lcp' would
result from the code supporting 'link'. Thus the diffs are rather
long for such a small change. The man page is also touched.
Oh, and there was a slight syntax problem in route.c

is when the matched string spans the end of the inbuff. This fix allocates
twice the IBSIZE so that it can keep the last and the current text to search
in the inbuff so that the match won't fail if it gets truncated by the read.
It also warns if the search string is to long and truncates it.

2) Improve on-line help subsystem
3) Make 'term' mode works even carrier dropped (old code
close line forever here)
4) Make 'term' mode 8bit clean.
5) Improve manual page
6) #ifdef DEBUG diagnostic about missing optional files.
7) Don't put interactive dialing info to logfile
2.Implment Redail function as working correctly.
3.Clean up a code as I notice.
4.Now, RTT getting close to 50ms with ISDN/TA 38400bps !!

timer expires.
- Same syntax of other filters.
o Fixing bugs reported by current user for previous one. Thanks !!
