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.
While there are some open issues, particulary wrt support of old
NetBSD-specific interfaces, it is better to get the code some public
testing before NetBSD-4 is branched.
Match the end-of-line after file extensions, so that *.[ch] files
with version numbers in their pathnames (e.g., libpcap-0.8.3/gencode.c)
do not match the manual-page regular expression.
size (via BIOCSBLEN). Obtained from FreeBSD 4.x; originally from
http://www.tcpdump.org's version of libpcap.
Taken verbatim from the FreeBSD 4.9 version, lint and all, other than
increasing the maximum size from 32Kibyte to an extremely generous
4Mibytes. We assume root will configure the in-kernel maximum value
sensibly on small-memory machines.
* DPSRCS contains extra dependencies, but is _NOT_ added to CLEANFILES.
This is a change of behaviour. If a Makefile wants the clean semantics
it must specifically append to CLEANFILES.
Resolves PR toolchain/5204.
* To recap: .d (depend) files are generated for all files in SRCS and DPSRCS
that have a suffix of: .c .m .s .S .C .cc .cpp .cxx
* If YHEADER is set, automatically add the .y->.h to DPSRCS & CLEANFILES
* Ensure that ${OBJS} ${POBJS} ${LOBJS} ${SOBJS} *.d depend upon ${DPSRCS}
* Deprecate the (short lived) DEPENDSRCS
Update the various Makefiles to these new semantics; generally either
adding to CLEANFILES (because DPSRCS doesn't do that anymore), or replacing
specific .o dependencies with DPSRCS entries.
Tested with "make -j 8 distribution" and "make distribution".
* When opening a live pcap, obtain the list of supported DLTs from
the BPF.
* Add pcap_list_datalinks() to obtain a list of supported DLTs
supported by the interface associated with the pcap descriptor.
* Add pcap_set_datalink() to set the current DLT of the pcap.
* Bump shlib 1.2 -> 1.3; new functions added.
