BTW: I've ripped out a lot of debug code and changed c++ // comments to /* */
as both were rather confusing for a newbie like me. ;-)
Sorry to the author for that.
I know that this makes mantaining the code easier, but I'm simple minded....
This is a first attempt to improve the comments of getopt_ulflags.c.
Maybe under some aspects the text could be refined, but so
far it is already usable and should help people who "avoided getopt_ulflags as the pest" to understand how it works.
This patch was created with the help of
Vodz, the author of the code, who explained me patiently
how getopt_ulflags works
and with the help of
Paul Fox, who corrected my broken english.
So thanks and merits should go to them also.
Is the change on libbb/loop.c which you commited in 2005/1/3 effective
really?
The __GLIBC__ macro and __UCLIBC__ macro are defined in
feature.h in glibc source, so the change may not be effective.
If you want to check this with __GLIBC__, feature.h header is needed.
Some architectures(e.g. PPC series) need to include linux/posix_types.h
in stead of asm/posix_types.h, so the patch which is attached with
this mail include <linux/posix_types.h>.
Hi to all,
This patch contains just some fixes for some misleading
comments in my_getpwuid.c and my_getug.c.
The code is untouched so this patch will not
cause troubles.
Please apply.

Hi!
I've created a patch to busybox' build system to allow building it in
separate tree in a manner similar to kbuild from kernel version 2.6.
That is, one runs command like
'make O=/build/some/where/for/specific/target/and/options'
and everything is built in this exact directory, provided that it exists.
I understand that applyingc such invasive changes during 'release
candidates' stage of development is at best unwise. So, i'm currently
asking for comments about this patch, starting from whether such thing
is needed at all to whether it coded properly.
'make check' should work now, and one make creates Makefile in build
directory, so one can run 'make' in build directory after that.
One possible caveat is that if we build in some directory other than
source one, the source directory should be 'distclean'ed first.
egor
Scenario:
touch x -- creates plain file name `x'
mkdir x -- exits successefully
libbb/make_directory.c, bb_make_directory(), contains
the following code:
if (mkdir(path, 0777) < 0) {
/* If we failed for any other reason than the directory
* already exists, output a diagnostic and return -1.*/
if (errno != EEXIST) {
fail_msg = "create";
umask(mask);
break;
}
/* Since the directory exists, don't attempt to change
* permissions if it was the full target. Note that
* this is not an error conditon. */
if (!c) {
umask(mask);
return 0;
}
}
The assumption that EEXIST error is due to that the *directory*
already exists is wrong: any file type with that name will cause
this error to be returned. Proper way IMHO will be is to stat()
the path and check whenever this is really a directory. Below
(attached) is a patch to fix this issue.
Hi Erik,
Hi to all,
This is part five of the my_get*id story.
I've tweaked a bit this two functions to make them more flexible,
but this changes will not affect existing code.
Now they work so:
1) my_getpwuid( char *user, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *user cannot be set to NULL
on success username is written on static allocated buffer
on failure uid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *user can be set to NULL
on success username is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
2) 1) my_getgrgid( char *group, uid_t uid, int bufsize)
if bufsize is > 0 char *group cannot be set to NULL
on success groupname is written on static allocated buffer
on failure gid as string is written to buffer and NULL is returned
if bufsize is = 0 char *group can be set to NULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure NULL is returned
if bufsize is < 0 char *group can be set to nULL
on success groupname is returned
on failure an error message is printed and the program exits
This changes were needed mainly for my new id applet.
It is somewhat bigger then the previous but matches the behaviour of GNU id
and is capable to handle usernames of whatever length.
BTW: at a first look it seems to me that it will integrate well (with just a few changes)
with the pending patch in patches/id_groups_alias.patch.
The increase in size is balanced by the removal of my_getpwnamegid.c
from libbb as this was used only in previous id applet and by size optimizations
made possible in whoami.c and in passwd.c.
I know that we are in feature freeze but I think that i've tested it enough
(at least I hope so.......).
Hi,
I've spent the half night staring at the devilish my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid functions
trying to find out a way to avoid actual and future potential buffer overflow problems
without breaking existing code.
Finally I've found a not intrusive way to do this that surely doesn't break existing code
and fixes a couple of problems too.
The attached patch:
1) changes the behaviour of my_getpwuid and my_getgrgid to avoid potetntial buffer overflows
2) fixes all occurences of this function calls in tar.c , id.c , ls.c, whoami.c, logger.c, libbb.h.
3) The behaviour of tar, ls and logger is unchanged.
4) The behavior of ps with somewhat longer usernames messing up output is fixed.
5) The only bigger change was the increasing of size of the buffers in id.c to avoid
false negatives (unknown user: xxxxxx) with usernames longer than 8 chars.
The value i used ( 32 chars ) was taken from the tar header ( see gname and uname).
Maybe this buffers can be reduced a bit ( to 16 or whatever ), this is up to you.
6) The increase of size of the binary is not so dramatic:
size busybox
text data bss dec hex filename
239568 2300 36816 278684 4409c busybox
size busybox_fixed
text data bss dec hex filename
239616 2300 36816 278732 440cc busybox
7) The behaviour of whoami changed:
actually it prints out an username cut down to the size of the buffer.
This could be fixed by increasing the size of the buffer as in id.c or
avoid the use of my_getpwuid and use getpwuid directly instead.
Maybe this colud be also remain unchanged......
Please apply if you think it is ok to do so.
The diff applies on today's cvs tarball (2004-08-25).
Thanks in advance,
Ciao,
Tito
Unfortunatelly I've not followed the last two or three weeks commits (new
semester started and so now I rarely have time to fix my personal bridge)
but tonight I synched my tree and immediately noticed a rather nasty bug!
[Using libbb/interface.c:1.24]
# grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | xargs

All values `ifconfig' is showing are `zeroed' -- I quickly looked at the
last commits I missed and noticed that there were a commit relating to
ifconfig, libbb/interface.c:1.23->1.24 (PatchSet 4338).
I've reversed the patch and now everything is working again. I compared
the get_name's return values from the 1.23 and 1.24 and quickly noticed
that the new revision is leaving `p' right on the sep while the rev 1.23
was leaving it right on the starting of the values...
1-line, 1/3-minute patch attached :-)
with a quick conversion you will see that 132608 == 0x20600
so noticed that the elif will never be matched !
Apparently there was already a try to modify this in CVS which
was reverted (it was plain wrong).
I don't know when __kernel_old_dev_t is needed, but with a 2.6.7
or a 2.6.8 this is __kernel_dev_t wich is needed.
I corrected this with the following patch but maybe older 2.6
still need __kernel_old_dev_t ?
I think this should be corrected before 1.0.

Hi to all,
This patch is useful for:
1) remove an unused var from extern char *find_real_root_device_name(const char* name)
changing it to extern char *find_real_root_device_name(void).
2) fixes include/libbb.h, coreutils/df.c, util-linux/mount.c and util-linux/umount.c accordingly.
3) fixes a bug, really a false positive, in find_real_root_device_name() that happens if
in the /dev directory exists a link named root (/dev/root) that should be skipped but
is not. This affects applets like df that display wrong results

The linux kernel doesnt allow hard links to directories, SUS says its
implementation specific.
cramfs gives empty directories and 0 length files the same node it
makies it difficult to distinguish from hard links.
This is a bulk spelling fix patch against busybox-1.00-pre10.
If anyone gets a corrupted copy (and cares), let me know and
I will make alternate arrangements.
Erik - please apply.
Authors - please check that I didn't corrupt any meaning.
Package importers - see if any of these changes should be
passed to the upstream authors.
I glossed over lots of sloppy capitalizations, missing apostrophes,
mixed American/British spellings, and German-style compound words.
What is "pretect redefined for test" in cmdedit.c?
Good luck on the 1.00 release!

Hello everyone,
Busybox's insmod fails to locate a module when that module is the only one
existing in the /lib/modules directory (with a unique name).
Example:
# find /lib/modules/ -type f
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o
# insmod bios
insmod: bios.o: no module by that name found
# touch /lib/modules/dummy
# find /lib/modules/ -type f
/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o
/lib/modules/dummy
# insmod bios
Using /lib/modules/kernel/drivers/char/bios.o
As long as there is another file in the /lib/modules directory, insmod
finds it OK.
I tracked the problem down to 'check_module_name_match()' in insmod.c:
It returns TRUE when a match is found, and FALSE otherwise. In the case
where there is only one module in the /lib/modules directory (or more that
one module, but all with the same name), 'recursive_action()' will return
TRUE and we end up on line 4196 in 'insmod.c' which returns an error.
[The reason it works with more than one module with different
names is that in this case there will always be one not matching,
'recursive_action()' will return FALSE and we end up in line 4189.]
Now, from the implementation of 'recursive_action()' and from other
usages of it (tar.c, etc.), it seems to me that FALSE should be returned
to indicate that we want to stop the recursion, so TRUE and FALSE should
be inverted in 'check_module_name_match()'.
At the same time, 'recursive_action()' continues to recurse even after
the recursive call has returned FALSE; again in my understanding and
other usages of it, we can safely stop recursing at this point.
Here is my patch against 1.00-pre8:
I've noticed a bug in the "autowidth" feature more, and is probably in
others. The call to the function get_terminal_width_height() passes
in a file descriptor but that file descriptor is never used, instead
the ioctl() is called with 0. In more_main() the call to
get_terminal_width_height() passes 0 as the file descriptor instead of
fileno(cin). This isn't a problem when you more a file (e.g. "more
/etc/passwd") but when you pipe a file to it (e.g. "cat /etc/passwd |
more") the size of the terminal cannot be determined because file
descriptor 0 is not a terminal. The fix is simple, I've attached a
patch for more.c and get_terminal_width_height.c.

The off_t type is not a consistent size; it depends on the kernel options
(something about large file support). Therefore, the format string for
printing an address is not always the same.
a directory into itself. It is harder to do this correctly
than it appears. Not trying at all seems a better compromise
for the time being, untill we can implement this correctly.
As Manuel points out, this is a flawed fix, and doesnt fix the
following:
mkdir -p cpa cpb cpc
cp -a cpa cpa/cpb/cpc
Attached what appears to be a more sane fix. Apply on top of previous.
Please confirm sanity.
I was adding -s/--symbolic-link support to busybox cp when I noticed a
bug with -r/-a. Test case:
mkdir -p test/out
cd test
busybox cp -a * out/
Will never return until we run out of open files or similar.
Coreutils cp on the other hand will error with "cannot copy a directory,
`out', into itself, `out'". Patch attached.
with 2.6.x asm/posix_types.h, which has done singularly evil thing
by yanking __kernel_dev_t and renaming it. The loop interface was

present in 2.6.x kernels.

out during the allocation process. When vodz changed it to be allocated on the
stack, he forgot to explicitly zero it, leaving its value filled with whatever
used to be sitting on the stack. It would garbage values, depending on the
garbage that happened to be sitting on the stack when the function was called.
The result was that applets using bb_getopt_ulflags() were showing
unpredictable behavior (such as segfaults), which naturally broke many things.
device ID iff the named file is a character or block special device. Otherwise
it is meaningless junk, in which case st_dev should be used. This was done

Rename bb_getport to bb_lookup_port, allow a default port to be

wget/rdate now use etc/services with a falback default value.
archive_xread can be replaced with bb_full_read, and archive_copy_file

bb_copyfd is split into two functions bb_copyfd_size and bb_copyfd_eof,

in order to fix the problems with round robin DNS reported
by Andrew Flegg:
http://busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-October/009579.html

not see why that would need to be special cased for ipv6 as
was done, but that will just have to be tested.
So IPV6 people -- please test this change!

In BusyBox v1.00-pre2,
commands like ls, df with -h option report a wrong file size for files larger than 4GBtye!!
For example,
when I execute 'ls -l', it reports
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5368709120 Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
when I execute 'ls -lh', I expect that
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.0G Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
but it reports
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.0G Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
I fixed this bug that...
Line 31 in libbb/human_readable.c and line 275 include/libbb.h
const char *make_human_readable_str(unsigned long size
=> const char *make_human_readable_str(unsigned long long size
It's OK!
I've reported this bug in April and it still
exists in 1.00-pre2. So I made patches for
both 0.60.x and 1.00-pre2. The patch is very
simple, just use strncmp instead of strcmp.
Please apply if it is OK.
Here's the procedure to test this problem:
Create a executable with very long name, say
'test_1234567890123456' and execute it. Try
using 'killall' or 'pidof' to find/kill this
program. Without this patch, you can't find
the program.
This moment have algoritmicaly problem, not overflow:
strcat(wrapped, wrapped) - may be looped.
Hand patch:
- else if (strstr(strcat(wrapped, wrapped), newmono))
+ else {
+ safe_strncpy(wrapped + lenwrap, wrapped, lenwrap + 1);
+ if (strstr(wrapped, newmono))

this patch fixes run_parts when it's called by ifupdown. 1) argv has to be a
NULL terminated char* array, not just a string. 2) run_parts now explicitly
sets the environment. this environment is populated from the
/etc/network/interfaces config file and is needed by the scripts in
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/. when run-parts is called from the command line the
environment is taken from the current process.

I've found a possible bug in libbb/interface.c, in function
if_readlist_proc(). This function calls get_name(), and passes
as an argument 'name', a buffer of 16 bytes (IFNAMSIZ). The
function get_name(), however, may use more than 16 bytes,
when it is searching for aliases. Even if you don't have an
alias interface, you can run into trouble if the interface
has received more than 99999999 bytes, in which case the
space between the interface name and the rx stats
disappears, as in the /proc/net/dev example below:
wan0.200:264573315 462080 ...
In this case get_name() correctly identifies the interface name
as "wan0.200", but to do that it uses 18 bytes of the 'name'
buffer, which could lead to an unpredictable error.
A simple solution would be to increase the size of the buffer:

Manuel,
I rewrite bb_getopt_ulflags() function for more universal usage.
My version support now:
- options with arguments (optional arg as GNU extension also)
- complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list
options
- long_opt (all applets may have long option, add supporting is trivial)
This realisation full compatibile from your version.
Code size grow 480 bytes, but only coreutils/* over compensate this size
after using new function. Last patch reduced over 800 bytes and not full
applied to all. "mkdir" and "mv" applets have long_opt now for demonstrate
trivial addition support long_opt with usage new bb_getopt_ulflags().
Complementaly and/or incomplementaly and/or incongruously and/or list options
logic is not trivial, but new "cut" and "grep" applets using this logic
for examples with full demostrating. New "grep" applet reduced over 300
bytes.
Mark,
Also. I removed bug from "grep" applet.
$ echo a b | busybox grep -e a b
a b
a b
But right is printing one only.

New complex patch for decrease size devel version. Requires previous patch.
Also removed small problems from dutmp and tar applets.
Also includes vodz' last_patch61_2:
Last patch correcting comment for #endif and more integrated
with libbb (very reduce size if used "cat" applet also).
Requires last_patch61 for modutils/config.in.
Hi, Erik.
my_getpw(uid/gid) and applets used it have problem:
if username for uid not found, applets can`t detect it
(but code pessent). Also "%8ld " format is bad:
spaces not required (applets have self format
or spec format (tar applet) and overflow for "id" applet...)
This problem also pressent in stable version.
Patch for unstable in attach.

- Applied Joel Coltoff's xconnect patch:
On both my host system and with mipsel-linux for my embedded systems
the function getservbyname() gives the port number already in host order.
In fact, this is how it was used by rdate in version 0.60.3. The snapshot
I have of the development tree from July 12, 2002 takes the port number
and stuffs it into htons() before it uses it. This causes bugs in rdate,
telnet and wget. This patch fixes that.
#49: I found one memory overflow and memory leak in "ln" applet.
Last patch reduced also 54 bytes. ;)
#50: I found bug in loginutils/Makefile.in.
New patch have also new function to libbb and
aplied this to applets and other cosmetic changes.
xconnect helper routine which does:
-address and port resolving
-tries to connect to all resolved addresses until connected
-uses getaddrinfo, so works for IPv6 too
This patch also ports rdate, telnet, and wget to use the new
xconnect function. Thanks Bart!
IPV6 support to busybox. This patch does the following:
* Add IPv6 support to libbb
* Enable IPv6 interface address display
* Add IPv6 config option
* Adds ping6, an adaptation of the ping applet for IPv6
* Adds support routines for ping6:
- xgethostbyname2
- create_icmp6_socket
* Adds ifconfig support for IPv6
* Add support IPv6 to netstat
* Add IPv6 support to route
Thanks Bart!
When DEBUG is defined
1. need to include resolv.h (for _resinit())
2. remove _() call around string. It appears to be a remnant of i18n or some such notion
the busybox development tree. This eliminates the use of recursive make, and
once again allows us to run 'make' in a subdirectory with the expected result.
And things are now much faster too. Greatly improved IMHO...

that into a pid_t, which is unsigned on a number archs. Furthermore,
find_pid_by_name() would _never_ return an error if the intended proces
was "init", but instead would return 1, meaning we would fail to work
on 2.4.x kernels running an initrd...

-- reverse resolve network name and cache in route and ifconfig
applets, fix print nslookup server name if compile without
uClibc, fix route crashe 'route add', fix warnings compile
networking and pwd_grp applets
math suport, cleaner math syntax error checking, moves redundant signal
string tables (from kill and ash) into libbb and provides a few
cleanups elsewhere.
was written by Aaron Lehmann <aaronl@vitelus.com> for busybox. This
patch makes a few trivial changes to Aaron's code so that it can be
used (in theory) by the other shells as well...
-Erik
make busybox be more uClinux friendly. I also adjusted Config.h for
uClinux so it will automagically disable apps the arn't going to
work without fork() and such.

1) ping cleanup (compile fix from this patch already applied).
2) traceroute call not spare ntohl() now (and reduce size);
3) Fix for functions not declared static in insmod, ash, vi and mount.
4) a more simple API cmdedit :))
5) adds "stopped jobs" warning to ash on Ctrl-D and fixes "ignoreeof" option
6) reduce exporting library function index->strchr (traceroute), bzero->memset (syslogd)
the problems of the previous version (used floating point, overflowed, didn't
round properly). The comments at the top of the file are worth reading;
especially note 2 concerning "ls -sh".
Config.h and using gcc's -fno-builtin. There are probably other files
with the similar problems.
Also, if building against uClibc, don't include asm/unistd.h in syscalls.c
and module_syscalls.c.
1) fixed a bug that could crash df, mount, and umount applets if the root
device name was longer then the word "root" (/dev/loop1 vs /dev/root) -
2) severl functions needed static declaration in the umount applet
3) update declaration for function in last_char_is() in libbb
was only being used by insmod these days.
Also, I spent a minute adjusting insmod so that it first searches
/lib/modules/`uname -r` and then (if that fails) searches /lib/modules,
which makes bb insmod behave much more like the real insmod, and should
avoid nasty surprises (such as the recent "Modutils vs. Busybox..."
thread).

for 'which'. I ageed, so I whipped this up -- which revealed a bug in
concat_path_file. It turns out that that a '/' can be appended from
either the path _or_ the filename, but only the former was checked.

This way, we can new get rid of all that tedious #define rubbish we used to
need to enable specific messages. This way is enormously simpler, and as a
bonus also ends up saving us 96 bytes.

support code after all). It also contains a patch from Larry Doolittle
that removes two instances of "strlen([^)]*) *- *1", un-shadows two
variables, relaxes requirement for a sprintf(3) that returns number of
bytes written, and eliminates a duplicate subroutine.
not going to scale up as well as I would like, and Matt Kraai and I have
discussed a better long term solution. But for now this will at least make all
the human-readable apps give correct answers.
Please test the human readable/non-human readable options on your systems!!!

bad, bad. This was crashing the shell on powerpc boxes, though all other archs
seem to have a much more forgiving malloc implementations. I finally found
this bug using electric-fence on a powerpc box.
