[PATCH] common/sendfile.c: bugfix can't support offset is NULL
by Guo Ren 13 Apr '18

[PATCH] or1k: add F_{DUPFD_CLOEXEC, SETPIPE_SZ, GETPIPE_SZ}
by Thomas Petazzoni 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Those definitions exist on all other architectures, but were not present in or1k specific headers when or1k support was merged. On the kernel side, their support is completely architecture independent, so we just need those definitions to make those fcntl() calls available on or1k.

tst-atomic
by Alexey Brodkin 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

Hi Waldemar, I see in commit e65912f8b2a6 ("rework most tests to work as standalone package") "tst-atomic" and "tst-atomic-long" were marked as disabled for all architectures as opposed to previously (in times of test-suite being a part of uClibc) disabled only for selected arches (IA64, MIPS and SPARC). The only guess I have it was done due to inability to refer not-exported "atomic.h". Is that correct? But anyways I'm looking at a possibility to revive those as they might be of use especially in case of emulation of atomics. Any thoughts on how that could be done? -Alexey

compile uclibc with retpoline switch
by Ata, John (US) 02 Apr '18

02 Apr '18

Hi all, With Spectre variant 2 (CVE-2017-5715), gcc has been updated to avoid branch prediction problems via the retpoline patch. Specifically, by using either -mindirect-branch=thunk-inline or -mindirect-branch=thunk or -mindirect-branch-thunk-external, the compiler will convert indirect branches and function returns to call and return thunks thus avoiding speculative execution in those cases. Of course, there is a performance penalty depending on the exact argument used. Has anyone compiled uclibc with one of those switches?

memmove() broken by design for mips?
by Pieter Smith 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

It looks like memmove() is broken by design for mips. This has come up before in a previous thread, but with no proper resolution: https://mailman.uclibc-ng.org/pipermail/devel/2016-April/000837.html Per the man pages and posix specification, memmove() must work with overlapping regions: https://linux.die.net/man/3/memmove https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/3posix/memmove/ Unless __ARCH_HAS_BWD_MEMCPY__ is set, the generic memmove() (which is used for mips) will use memcpy() when the destination pointer is lower than the source pointer, whether the regions are overlapping or not. The author of libc/string/mips/memcpy.S is clear about the fact that the mips implementation for memcpy() cannot deal with overlapping regions. For Android, support for overlapping regions seems to be required for memcpy(), so memcpy() will offload to memmove() when an overlap occurs. How this could work with memmove() again offloading to memcpy() on mips is lost on me. I am observing the problem on a big-endian mips 34kc with OpenSSL. We are using nginx as an https webserver with openssl as the ssl library. We observed unexpected Message Authentication Code failures when data was received. After some detective work, we were observing the uClibc memmove() occasionally copying a source buffer cache-line worth of zero's (32 bytes) to the destination buffer instead of the actual source data. Needless to say, I do not know of a cipher that plays nicely when the input buffer suffers from Alzheimer's. The OpenSSL implementation of the GCM-128 cipher rightfully fails the tag check from it's perspective, returning a Message Authentication Code failure to the client. I quick solution is to always define __ARCH_HAS_BWD_MEMCPY__ on mips, but I do not consider that a clear expression of the intent. Can anyone comment on this? - Pieter Smith

uClibc-ng 1.0.29 release
by Waldemar Brodkorb 04 Mar '18

04 Mar '18

Hi, I released uClibc-ng 1.0.29 today. The new release contains mostly bugfixes for aarch64 and x86_64. I use Gentoo/uClibc-ng since some weeks and found some Glibc compatibility issues. I run chromium every day on my Lenovo X200 with lates uClibc-ng. I integrated gettext-tiny, which allows to use uClibc-ng for Desktop when compiling software with i18n requirements. Attention: arc4random is removed. best regards Waldemar
