* libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.Pedro F. Giffuni2017-11-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task. The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=326193

* When a dynamic NSS module is built and linked against a threadJacques Vidrine2004-03-301-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | library, it may pull in that thread library at run time. If the process started out single-threaded, this could cause attempts to release locks that do not exist. Guard against this possibility by checking __isthreaded before invoking thread primitives. A similar problem remains if the process is linked against one thread library, but the NSS module is linked against another. This can only be avoided by careful design of the NSS module.

* It was reported that when using nss_ldap, getgrent(3) would behaveJacques Vidrine2004-01-091-8/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | incorrectly when encountering `large' groups (many members and/or many long member names). The reporter tracked this down to the glibc NSS module compatibility code (nss_compat.c): it would prematurely record that a NSS module was finished iterating through its database in some cases. Two aspects are corrected: 1. nss_compat.c recorded that a NSS module was finished iterating whenever the module reported something other than SUCCESS. The correct logic is to continue iteration when the module reports either SUCCESS or RETURN. The __nss_compat_getgrent_r and __nss_compat_getpwent_r routines are updated to reflect this. 2. An internal helper macro __nss_compat_result is used to map glibc NSS status codes to BSD NSS status codes (e.g. NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS -> NS_SUCCESS). It provided the obvious mapping. When a NSS routine is called with a too-small buffer, the convention in the BSD NSS code is to report RETURN. (This is used to implement reentrant APIs such as getpwnam_r(3).) However, the convention in glibc for this case is to set errno = ERANGE and overload TRYAGAIN. __nss_compat_result is updated to handle this case.

* = Implement name service switch modules (NSS modules). NSS modulesJacques Vidrine2003-04-171-0/+270
may be built into libc (`static NSS modules') or dynamically loaded via dlopen (`dynamic NSS modules'). Modules are loaded/initialized at configuration time (i.e. when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf is read or re-read). = Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe. = New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to signal ERANGE-type issues. = syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort. = Try harder to avoid namespace pollution. = Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.
