2015-10-30lineedit: search applets as well as PATH for tab completionRon Yorston

2015-05-12libbb: Enable support for !CONFIG_MULTIUSERDaniel Thompson
Linux recently gained a new config option, CONFIG_MULTIUSER, that makes support for non-root users optional. This results in a number of syscalls being disabled: setuid, setregid, setgid, setreuid, setresuid, getresuid, setresgid, getresgid, setgroups, getgroups, setfsuid, setfsgid, capget, capset. Currently a number of busybox applets, including login, struggle to run when CONFIG_MULTIUSER is disabled. Even the root user is unable to login: login: can't set groups: Functi This patch adds code to make change_identity() a nop on single user systems. It works by recognising the signature errno value (ENOSYS, due to the system calls being disabled) and, to avoid security risks, only deploys when the current uid and target uid is the same. After the patch is applied any attempt to switch to a non-root user will fail. Thus a badly configured userspace (for example, one that tries to start a daemon as a non-root user when the kernel cannot support this) will report errors as one would expect.

2014-12-15lineedit: don't block when looking for escape sequence in vi-modeRon Yorston
In vi-mode lineedit tries to detect some escape sequences. After the ESC it reads the next character to check for certain values. This read should have a timeout or a user-entered ESC to switch to command mode doesn't properly handle the next character.

2014-11-27libbb: use sendfile() to copy data between file descriptorsBartosz Golaszewski
Busybox already uses sendfile in httpd. This patch proposes to use it globally to copy data between file descriptors. It speeds up the copying on slow systems a lot - below are the times needed to copy a 450Mb file with and without this option enabled on a BeagleBone Black: sendfile: user 0m0.000s sys 0m8.170s read/write 4k: user 0m0.470s sys 0m16.300s function old new delta bb_full_fd_action 394 474 +80 Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartekgola@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
2014-11-26libbb: use ARG_MAX for bb_arg_max() only if it's 60k+Denys Vlasenko
Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is big, and people prefer using the bigger value. OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller: you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process does with each parameter. Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big, otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used. Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
