FORTIFY_SOURCE feature of libssp, thus checking the size of arguments to
various string and memory copy and set functions (as well as a few system
calls and other miscellany) where known at function entry. RedHat has
evidently built all "core system packages" with this option for some time.
This option should be used at the top of Makefiles (or Makefile.inc where
this is used for subdirectories) but after any setting of LIB.
This is only useful for userland code, and cannot be used in libc or in
any code which includes the libc internals, because it overrides certain
libc functions with macros. Some effort has been made to make USE_FORT=yes
work correctly for a full-system build by having the bsd.sys.mk logic
disable the feature where it should not be used (libc, libssp iteself,
the kernel) but no attempt has been made to build the entire system with
USE_FORT and doing so will doubtless expose numerous bugs and misfeatures.
Adjust the system build so that all programs and libraries that are setuid,
directly handle network data (including serial comm data), perform
authentication, or appear likely to have (or have a history of having)
data-driven bugs (e.g. file(1)) are built with USE_FORT=yes by default,
with the exception of libc, which cannot use USE_FORT and thus uses
only USE_SSP by default. Tested on i386 with no ill results; USE_FORT=no
per-directory or in a system build will disable if desired.
Add kern_exit_43.c to VARSTACK -- it isn't, really, but it causes an error
because it has a 0-element array on the stack and SSP always emits the
error that it is not protecting such a small array (ssp-buffer-size=0 is
not supported, so, really, it should not emit this error!).
is defined. if this option is present in the Makefile CFLAGS and we are
using GCC4, build kern_synch.c with -fno-reorder-blocks, so that this
actually works.
XXX be nice if KERN_SYNCH_BPENDTSLEEP_LABEL was a normal 'defflag' option
XXX but for now take the easy way out and make it checkable in CFLAGS.
- add -Wno-attributes -Wno-pointer-sign to CWARNFLAGS.
- add -fno-strict-aliasing to CFLAGS [*]
our kernel again needs a bunch of work for this to be enabled.
get this makefile to execute the mkdep commands - no need for a submake
and xargs at that point.
However we do need to do something to stop the 'mkdep -d' and CLEANDEPEND
command lines being to long.
Note that 'echo ${xxx} | cmd' is ok because echo is a shell builtin, and
isn't (usually) subject to the kernel's command line limits.
an overflow occurs.
. Make this error a fatal build time error
. Move the support for dbsym into the MI Makefile.kern.inc,
conditional upon the SYMTAB_SPACE option being defined in
the kernel config file.
-Wreturn-type -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch" so I am turning them on. There
is going to be a little lossage on some platforms but you can always
compile with "make DEFWARNINGS=no". Tested on sparc64 and i386.
produces corrupted binaries when the link_set_* sections extend into another
page after the end of the .text section by using a generated an ldscript that
puts all the link_set_* data into the .text section in the first place.
