* Our fts(3) API, as inherited from 4.4BSD, suffers from integerYaroslav Tykhiy2008-01-261-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fields in FTS and FTSENT structs being too narrow. In addition, the narrow types creep from there into fts.c. As a result, fts(3) consumers, e.g., find(1) or rm(1), can't handle file trees an ordinary user can create, which can have security implications. To fix the historic implementation of fts(3), OpenBSD and NetBSD have already changed <fts.h> in somewhat incompatible ways, so we are free to do so, too. This change is a superset of changes from the other BSDs with a few more improvements. It doesn't touch fts(3) functionality; it just extends integer types used by it to match modern reality and the C standard. Here are its points: o For C object sizes, use size_t unless it's 100% certain that the object will be really small. (Note that fts(3) can construct pathnames _much_ longer than PATH_MAX for its consumers.) o Avoid the short types because on modern platforms using them results in larger and slower code. Change shorts to ints as follows: - For variables than count simple, limited things like states, use plain vanilla `int' as it's the type of choice in C. - For a limited number of bit flags use `unsigned' because signed bit-wise operations are implementation-defined, i.e., unportable, in C. o For things that should be at least 64 bits wide, use long long and not int64_t, as the latter is an optional type. See FTSENT.fts_number aka FTS.fts_bignum. Extending fts_number `to satisfy future needs' is pointless because there is fts_pointer, which can be used to link to arbitrary data from an FTSENT. However, there already are fts(3) consumers that require fts_number, or fts_bignum, have at least 64 bits in it, so we must allow for them. o For the tree depth, use `long'. This is a trade-off between making this field too wide and allowing for 64-bit inode numbers and/or chain-mounted filesystems. On the one hand, `long' is almost enough for 32-bit filesystems on a 32-bit platform (our ino_t is uint32_t now). On the other hand, platforms with a 64-bit (or wider) `long' will be ready for 64-bit inode numbers, as well as for several 32-bit filesystems mounted one under another. Note that fts_level has to be signed because -1 is a magic value for it, FTS_ROOTPARENTLEVEL. o For the `nlinks' local var in fts_build(), use `long'. The logic in fts_build() requires that `nlinks' be signed, but our nlink_t currently is uint16_t. Therefore let's make the signed var wide enough to be able to represent 2^16-1 in pure C99, and even 2^32-1 on a 64-bit platform. Perhaps the logic should be changed just to use nlink_t, but it can be done later w/o breaking fts(3) ABI any more because `nlinks' is just a local var. This commit also inludes supporting stuff for the fts change: o Preserve the old versions of fts(3) functions through libc symbol versioning because the old versions appeared in all our former releases. o Bump __FreeBSD_version just in case. There is a small chance that some ill-written 3-rd party apps may fail to build or work correctly if compiled after this change. o Update the fts(3) manpage accordingly. In particular, remove references to fts_bignum, which was a FreeBSD-specific hack to work around the too narrow types of FTSENT members. Now fts_number is at least 64 bits wide (long long) and fts_bignum is an undocumented alias for fts_number kept around for compatibility reasons. According to Google Code Search, the only big consumers of fts_bignum are in our own source tree, so they can be fixed easily to use fts_number. o Mention the change in src/UPDATING.

* Make the PCI code aware of PCI domains (aka PCI segments) so we canMarius Strobl2007-09-301-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | support machines having multiple independently numbered PCI domains and don't support reenumeration without ambiguity amongst the devices as seen by the OS and represented by PCI location strings. This includes introducing a function pci_find_dbsf(9) which works like pci_find_bsf(9) but additionally takes a domain number argument and limiting pci_find_bsf(9) to only search devices in domain 0 (the only domain in single-domain systems). Bge(4) and ofw_pcibus(4) are changed to use pci_find_dbsf(9) instead of pci_find_bsf(9) in order to no longer report false positives when searching for siblings and dupe devices in the same domain respectively. Along with this change the sole host-PCI bridge driver converted to actually make use of PCI domain support is uninorth(4), the others continue to use domain 0 only for now and need to be converted as appropriate later on. Note that this means that the format of the location strings as used by pciconf(8) has been changed and that consumers of <sys/pciio.h> potentially need to be recompiled.

* Import rewrite of IPv4 socket multicast layer to support source-specificBruce M Simpson2007-06-121-0/+19

The code is written to accomodate IPv6, IGMPv3 and MLDv2 with only a little additional work. This change only pertains to FreeBSD's use as a multicast end-station and does not concern multicast routing; for an IGMPv3/MLDv2 router implementation, consider the XORP project. The work is based on Wilbert de Graaf's IGMPv3 code drop for FreeBSD 4.6, which is available at: http://www.kloosterhof.com/wilbert/igmpv3.html Summary * IPv4 multicast socket processing is now moved out of ip_output.c into a new module, in_mcast.c. * The in_mcast.c module implements the IPv4 legacy any-source API in terms of the protocol-independent source-specific API. * Source filters are lazy allocated as the common case does not use them. They are part of per inpcb state and are covered by the inpcb lock. * struct ip_mreqn is now supported to allow applications to specify multicast joins by interface index in the legacy IPv4 any-source API. * In UDP, an incoming multicast datagram only requires that the source port matches the 4-tuple if the socket was already bound by source port. An unbound socket SHOULD be able to receive multicasts sent from an ephemeral source port. * The UDP socket multicast filter mode defaults to exclusive, that is, sources present in the per-socket list will be blocked from delivery. * The RFC 3678 userland functions have been added to libc: setsourcefilter, getsourcefilter, setipv4sourcefilter, getipv4sourcefilter. * Definitions for IGMPv3 are merged but not yet used. * struct sockaddr_storage is now referenced from <netinet/in.h>. It is therefore defined there if not already declared in the same way as for the C99 types. * The RFC 1724 hack (specify 0.0.0.0/8 addresses to IP_MULTICAST_IF which are then interpreted as interface indexes) is now deprecated. * A patch for the Rhyolite.com routed in the FreeBSD base system is available in the -net archives. This only affects individuals running RIPv1 or RIPv2 via point-to-point and/or unnumbered interfaces. * Make IPv6 detach path similar to IPv4's in code flow; functionally same. * Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700048; see UPDATING.

* Now pam_nologin(8) will provide an account management functionYaroslav Tykhiy2007-06-101-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | instead of an authentication function. There are a design reason and a practical reason for that. First, the module belongs in account management because it checks availability of the account and does no authentication. Second, there are existing and potential PAM consumers that skip PAM authentication for good or for bad. E.g., sshd(8) just prefers internal routines for public key auth; OTOH, cron(8) and atrun(8) do implicit authentication when running a job on behalf of its owner, so their inability to use PAM auth is fundamental, but they can benefit from PAM account management. Document this change in the manpage. Modify /etc/pam.d files accordingly, so that pam_nologin.so is listed under the "account" function class.
