GLIBC explicitly allows one to assign a new FILE pointer to stdout and
other standard streams.  printf and wprintf were honouring assignment to
stdout and using the new value, but puts, putchar, and wide char variants
did not.

The stdout part is fixed here.  The stdin part will be fixed in a followup.

<title>[BZ 1190] Make EOF sticky in stdio.</title>

<id>2cc7bad0ae0a412e75270be5ed41d45c03e7a931</id>
<content type='text'>
C99 specifies that the EOF condition on a file is "sticky": once EOF
has been encountered, all subsequent reads should continue to return
EOF until the file is closed or something clears the "end-of-file
indicator" (e.g. fseek, clearerr).  This is arguably a change from
C89, where the wording was ambiguous; the BSDs always had sticky EOF,
but the System V lineage would attempt to read from the underlying fd
again.  GNU libc has followed System V for as long as we've been
using libio, but nowadays C99 conformance and BSD compatibility are
more important than System V compatibility.

You might wonder if changing the _underflow impls is sufficient to
apply the C99 semantics to all of the many stdio functions that
perform input.  It should be enough to cover all paths to _IO_SYSREAD,
and the only other functions that call _IO_SYSREAD are the _seekoff
impls, which is OK because seeking clears EOF, and the _xsgetn impls,
which, as far as I can tell, are unused within glibc.

The test programs in this patch use a pseudoterminal to set up the
necessary conditions.  To facilitate this I added a new test-support
function that sets up a pair of pty file descriptors for you; it's
almost the same as BSD openpty, the only differences are that it
allocates the optionally-returned tty pathname with malloc, and that
it crashes if anything goes wrong.

	[BZ #1190]
        [BZ #19476]
	* libio/fileops.c (_IO_new_file_underflow): Return EOF immediately
	if the _IO_EOF_SEEN bit is already set; update commentary.
	* libio/oldfileops.c (_IO_old_file_underflow): Likewise.
	* libio/wfileops.c (_IO_wfile_underflow): Likewise.

	* support/support_openpty.c, support/tty.h: New files.
	* support/Makefile (libsupport-routines): Add support_openpty.

<content type='text'>
This patch eliminates a number of #if 0 and #ifdef TODO blocks, macros
that are never used, macros that provide portability to substrates that
lack basic things like EINVAL and off_t, and other such debris.

I preserved IO_DEBUG and CHECK_FILE, even though as far as I can tell
IO_DEBUG is never defined and therefore CHECK_FILE never does
anything, because it seems like we might actually want to turn it _on_.

Installed stripped libraries and executables are unchanged, except,
again, that the line number of an assertion changes (this time it's
somewhere in fileops.c).

	* libio/libio.h (_IO_pos_BAD, _IO_pos_0, _IO_pos_adjust):
	Define here, unconditionally.
	* libio/iolibio.h (_IO_pos_BAD): Don't define here.
	* libio/libioP.h: Remove #if 0 blocks.
	(_IO_pos_BAD, _IO_pos_0, _IO_pos_adjust): Don't define here.
	(_IO_va_start, COERCE_FILE, MAYBE_SET_EINVAL): Don't define.
	(CHECK_FILE): Don't use MAYBE_SET_EINVAL or COERCE_FILE.  Fix style.

	* libio/clearerr.c, libio/fputc.c, libio/getchar.c:
	Assume weak_alias is always defined.

	* libio/fileops.c, libio/genops.c, libio/oldfileops.c
	* libio/oldpclose.c, libio/pclose.c, libio/wfileops.c:
	Remove #if 0 and #ifdef TODO blocks.
	Assume text_set_element is always defined.

	* libio/iofdopen.c, libio/iogetdelim.c, libio/oldiofdopen.c
	Use __set_errno (EINVAL) instead of MAYBE_SET_EINVAL.
	* libio/tst-mmap-eofsync.c: Make #if 1 block unconditional.

<content type='text'>
This patch mechanically removes all remaining uses, and the
definitions, of the following libio name aliases:

 name                         replaced with
 ----                         -------------
 _IO_FILE                     FILE
 _IO_fpos_t                   __fpos_t
 _IO_fpos64_t                 __fpos64_t
 _IO_size_t                   size_t
 _IO_ssize_t                  ssize_t or __ssize_t
 _IO_off_t                    off_t
 _IO_off64_t                  off64_t
 _IO_pid_t                    pid_t
 _IO_uid_t                    uid_t
 _IO_wint_t                   wint_t
 _IO_va_list                  va_list or __gnuc_va_list
 _IO_BUFSIZ                   BUFSIZ
 _IO_cookie_io_functions_t    cookie_io_functions_t
 __io_read_fn                 cookie_read_function_t
 __io_write_fn                cookie_write_function_t
 __io_seek_fn                 cookie_seek_function_t
 __io_close_fn                cookie_close_function_t

I used __fpos_t and __fpos64_t instead of fpos_t and fpos64_t because
the definitions of fpos_t and fpos64_t depend on the largefile mode.
I used __ssize_t and __gnuc_va_list in a handful of headers where
namespace cleanliness might be relevant even though they're
internal-use-only.  In all other cases, I used the public-namespace
name.

There are a tiny handful of places where I left a use of 'struct _IO_FILE'
alone, because it was being used together with 'struct _IO_FILE_plus'
or 'struct _IO_FILE_complete' in the same arithmetic expression.

Because this patch was almost entirely done with search and replace, I
may have introduced indentation botches.  I did proofread the diff,
but I may have missed something.

The ChangeLog below calls out all of the places where this was not a
pure search-and-replace change.

Installed stripped libraries and executables are unchanged by this patch,
except that some assertions in vfscanf.c change line numbers.

<title>libio: Free backup area when it not required (BZ#22415)</title>

<id>cc683f7ed4a5bd8ce2c9b715581de727b04eb599</id>
<content type='text'>
Some libio operations fail to correctly free the backup area (created
by _IO_{w}default_pbackfail on unget{w}c) resulting in either invalid
buffer free operations or memory leaks.

For instance, on the example provided by BZ#22415 a following
fputc after a fseek to rewind the stream issues an invalid free on
the buffer.  It is because although _IO_file_overflow correctly
(from fputc) correctly calls _IO_free_backup_area, the
_IO_new_file_seekoff (called by fseek) updates the FILE internal
pointers without first free the backup area (resulting in invalid
values in the internal pointers).

The wide version also shows an issue, but instead of accessing invalid
pointers it leaks the backup memory on fseek/fputwc operation.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.

	* libio/Makefile (tests): Add tst-bz22415.

Some libio operations fail to correctly free the backup area (created
by _IO_{w}default_pbackfail on unget{w}c) resulting in either invalid
buffer free operations or memory leaks.

For instance, on the example provided by BZ#22415 a following
fputc after a fseek to rewind the stream issues an invalid free on
the buffer.  It is because although _IO_file_overflow correctly
(from fputc) correctly calls _IO_free_backup_area, the
_IO_new_file_seekoff (called by fseek) updates the FILE internal
pointers without first free the backup area (resulting in invalid
values in the internal pointers).

The wide version also shows an issue, but instead of accessing invalid
pointers it leaks the backup memory on fseek/fputwc operation.

<title>libio: Implement vtable verification [BZ #20191]</title>

This commit puts all libio vtables in a dedicated, read-only ELF
section, so that they are consecutive in memory.  Before any indirect
jump, the vtable pointer is checked against the section boundaries,
and the process is terminated if the vtable pointer does not fall into
the special ELF section.

To enable backwards compatibility, a special flag variable
(_IO_accept_foreign_vtables), protected by the pointer guard, avoids
process termination if libio stream object constructor functions have
been called earlier.  Such constructor functions are called by the GCC
2.95 libstdc++ library, and this mechanism ensures compatibility with
old binaries.  Existing callers inside glibc of these functions are
adjusted to call the original functions, not the wrappers which enable
vtable compatiblity.

The compatibility mechanism is used to enable passing FILE * objects
across a static dlopen boundary, too.
