use these to turn off warnings for most GCC-8 complaints. many
of these are false positives, most of the real bugs are already
commited, or are yet to come.
we plan to introduce versions of (some?) of these that use the
"-Wno-error=" form, which still displays the warnings but does
not make it an error, and all of the above will be re-considered
as either being "fix me" (warning still displayed) or "warning
is wrong."
Update to match.... We're slow but we get there eventually!
NFC for any of these programs, struct timeval and struct timespec
are the same size, and only the tv_sec field of boottime is used,
and that's unchanged.
(the utmpentry.c code), specifically with respect to who owns them and
when to free them. Now they're owned by utmpentry.c, only. Abolish the
freeutentries() function, which was the wrong abstraction; add instead
endutentries(), which flushes out the internally managed memory.
Update callers as necessary. Some (e.g. talkd) had been leaking memory;
others (e.g. syslogd) had been accidentally freeing and reloading utmp
more often than necessary. There are a couple untidy bits in users and
rwhod that someone should look after sometime, maybe.
Fixes PR bin/35131, which was about talkd's memory leak.
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.
- ensure hostname from gethostname() is nul-terminated in all cases
- minor KNF
- use MAXHOSTNAMELEN over various other values/defines
- be safe will buffers that hold hostnames
header files), and kill the note about checking /netbsd's nlist, since that
is no longer done (since the kernel namelist isn't actually used for
anything).
