Subject: attr: Add a patch to fix an unconditional infinite recursion
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=99989d3b91ef6cadc0c8d1a73203178da9ac6af7;p=buildroot.git

attr: Add a patch to fix an unconditional infinite recursion

The bump to 2.4.48 introduced a bug that, according to the author,
only happen in certain cases on glibc. But under uclibc-ng, it happens
every time.

The bug essentially cause any program calling any libattr.so function
to enter an infinite recursion, because of a symbol conflict between
uclibc-ng and libattr wrappers, that causes the libattr wrappers to
call themselves.

This infinite recursion does not consume the stack, so programs
basically behave like they enter an infinite loop.

It is easy to reproduce with qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig +
BR2_PACKAGE_ATTR: "getfattr ." never returns and takes 100% CPU.

Upstream fixed it, but the patch is not part of a release yet,
so take the patch.

+Subject: Switch back to syscall()
+
+Switch back to syscall() for the *xattr system calls.  The current
+mechanism of forwarding those calls to glibc breaks libraries like
+libfakeroot (fakeroot) and libasan (the gcc address sanitizer; gcc
+-fsanitize=address).
+
+Those libraries provide wrappers for functions defined in other shared
+libraries, usually glibc, do their own processing, and forward calls to
+the original symbols looke dup via dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, "symbol_name").  In
+our case, dlsym returns the libattr_*xattr wrappers.  However, when our
+wrappers try calling glibc, they end up calling the libfakeroot /
+libasan wrappers instead because those override the original symbols =>
+recursion.
+
+The libattr_*xattr wrappers will only be used when symbols are looked up
+at runtime (dlopen / dlsym).  Programs linking against libattr will
+directly use the glibc provided symbols.  Therefore, the slightly worse
+performance of syscall() won't affect any of the "normal" users of
+libattr.
+
+[nicolas.cavallari: with uclibc-ng, the recursion always happen]
