2016-10-27ash: [JOBS] Fix dowait signal raceDenys Vlasenko
Upstream commit: Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:10:01 +0800 [JOBS] Fix dowait signal race This test program by Alexey Gladkov can cause dash to enter an infinite loop in waitcmd. #!/bin/dash trap "echo TRAP" USR1 stub() { echo ">>> STUB $1" >&2 sleep $1 echo "<<< STUB $1" >&2 kill -USR1 $$ } stub 3 & stub 2 & until { echo "###"; wait; } do echo "*** $?" done The problem is that if we get a signal after the wait3 system call has returned but before we get to INTON in dowait, then we can jump back up to the top and lose the exit status. So if we then wait for the job that has just exited, then it'll stay there forever. I made the original change that caused this bug to fix pretty much the same bug but in the opposite direction. That is, if we get a signal after we enter wait3 but before we hit the kernel then it too can cause the wait to go on forever (assuming the child doesn't exit). In fact this is pretty much exactly the scenario that you'll find in glibc's documentation on pause(). The solution is given there too, in the form of sigsuspend, which is the only way to do the check and wait atomically. So this patch fixes Alexey's race without reintroducing the old bug by converting the blocking wait3 to a sigsuspend. In order to do this we need to set a signal handler for SIGCHLD, so the code has been modified to always do that.

2016-10-27ash: [SIGNAL] Remove EXSIGDenys Vlasenko
Upstream commit 1: Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2009 18:16:13 +0800 [SIGNAL] Remove EXSIG Now that waitcmd no longer uses EXSIG we can remove it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Upstream commit 2: Date: Thu, 2 Oct 2014 21:07:55 +0800 [ERROR] Set exitstatus in onint Currently the exit status when we receive SIGINT is set in evalcommand which means that it doesn't always get set. For example, if you press CTRL-C at the prompt of an interactive dash, the exit status is not set to 130 as it is in many other Bourne shells. This patch fixes this by moving the setting of the exit status into onint which also simplifies evalcommand.

2016-10-27ash: [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leakDenys Vlasenko
Upstream commit: Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2010 20:07:26 +0800 [EXPAND] Fix ifsfirst/ifslastp leak As it stands expandarg may return with a non-NULL ifslastp which then confuses any subsequent ifsbreakup user that doesn't clear it directly. What's worse, if we get interrupted before we hit ifsfree in expandarg we will leak memory. This patch fixes this by always calling ifsfree in expandarg thus ensuring that ifslastp is always NULL on the normal path. It also adds an ifsfree call to the RESET path to ensure that memory isn't leaked.

I'll try to find time to look into > it, but thought you might like to know nevertheless. This is the symptom of another leak. In this case evalbackcmd occurs in the middle of an expansion (as it should) but the forked child never clears the previous IFS state. This patch adds the missing ifsfree call. This wasn't as much of a problem as the previously discovered leaks since all it means is that the child gets to carry around the parent's expansion state and the child is usually short-lived.

2016-10-25ash: [REDIR] Move null redirect checks into callerDenys Vlasenko
Upstream commit: Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 14:21:17 +0800 [REDIR] Move null redirect checks into caller The null redirect checks were added as an optimisation to avoid unnecessary memory allocations. However, we could avoid this completely by simply making the caller avoid making a redirection unless it is not null.

2016-10-25ash: [PARSER] Do not show prompts in expandstrDenys Vlasenko
Upstream patch: Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 13:57:07 +1100 [PARSER] Do not show prompts in expandstr Once I fixed the previous problem it became apparent that we never dealt with prompts with new-lines in them correctly. The problem is that we showed a secondary prompt for each of them. This patch disables prompt generation in expandstr.
