2018-10-21handle EINTR while polling scripts/hooksAndrew Gregory
If poll() is interrupted by a signal, alpm was closing the socket it uses for listening to script/hook output. This would drop script output at the least and kill the script at the worst.

2018-10-21reset signal handlers before running scripts/hooksAndrew Gregory
Front-ends or libraries may set signals to be ignored, which gets inherited across fork and exec. This can cause scripts to malfunction if they expect the signal. To make matters worse, scripts written in bash can't reset signals that were ignored when bash was started.

2018-05-14Remove all modelines from the projectEli Schwartz
Many of these are pointless (e.g. there is no need to explicitly turn on spellchecking and language dictionaries for the manpages by default). The only useful modelines are the ones enforcing the project coding standards for indentation style (and "maybe" filetype/syntax, but everything except the asciidoc manpages and makepkg.conf is already autodetected), and indent style can be applied more easily with .editorconfig Signed-off-by: Eli Schwartz <eschwartz@archlinux.org> Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2017-04-16use sockets for scriptlet/hook communicationAndrew Gregory
If a scriptlet/hook dies at the wrong moment it can trigger SIGPIPE, terminating the process. For pipes, there is no way to prevent SIGPIPE other than ignoring it process-wide. This can have unintended consequences in a multi-threaded process. Using send(2) with sockets, however, allows ignoring SIGPIPE on a per-call basis, leaving other threads able to make use of SIGPIPE.

2016-10-22Allow replacing libcrypto with libnettle in pacmanFlorian Weigelt

2016-10-10Remove SHA224 supportAllan McRae
This was included due to use of PolarSSL's implementation for our internal SHA2 support. As our internal checksum calculations are now removed, we can also remove this unused code path. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2016-10-10Remove internal md5 and sha2 implementationsAllan McRae
The internal implementations for md5 and sha256 checksums have not been merged from upstream sources for a long time. Instead of us carrying copies of code from other projects, we should just support building against multiple libraries that provide such functionality. This patch removes the md5 and sha2 code (originally obtained from PolarSSL) from our repository. The configure script will now error unless at least one library supporting checksum generation is present, with the only library currently supported being openssl. It will be relatively simple for other such libraries (e.g. nettle) to be supported if anyone wishes to add them. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2016-05-05Avoid logical OR duplication warning from gcc-6Allan McRae
The value EAGAIN is allowed by POSIX to be the same as EWOULDBLOCK, but this is not guaranteed. Thus on some systems (e.g. glibc Linux), we get a warning that the logical OR is being performed on two expressions of the same type. We can not get rid of this test in case any system defines these as unique values. Suggested-by: Dave Reisner Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>
2016-02-23alpm_run_chroot: always connect parent2child pipeAndrew Gregory
Commit e374e6829cea3512f0b4a4069c5a6168f0f8d8a0 closed stdin before running scripts/hooks. This left the exec'd process with no file descriptor 0. If the process subsequently opened a file it would be assigned fd 0, and could potentially be confused for stdin. Connecting and immediately closing the parent2child pipe ensures that the child has an fd 0 and that it is empty.

2014-09-23wrap fgets to retry on EINTRAndrew Gregory
The read() underlying fgets() can be interrupted by a signal handler causing fgets() to return NULL. Before we started handling SIGWINCH, the odds of interrupting a read were low and typically resulted in termination anyway. Replace all fgets calls with a wrapper that retries in EINTR.

2014-03-03Update the event callbackOlivier Brunel
Instead of using two void* arguments for all events, we now send one pointer to an alpm_event_t struct. This contains the type of event that was triggered. With this information, the pointer can then be typecasted to the event-specific struct in order to get additional arguments.

2014-01-06Use O_CLOEXEC as much as possible when opening filesDan McGee
When calling open(), use O_CLOEXEC as much as possible to ensure the file descriptor is closed when and if a process using libalpm forks. For most of these cases, and especially in utility functions, the file descriptor is opened and closed in the same function, so we don't have too much to worry about. However, for things like the log file and database lock file, we should ensure descriptors aren't left hanging around for children to touch. This patch is inspired by the problem in FS#36161, where an open file descriptor to the current working directory prevents chroot() from working on FreeBSD. We don't need this file descriptor in the child process, so open it (and now several others) with O_CLOEXEC.

2013-12-15Close file descirptor before forkWolfgang Bumiller
FreeBSD chroot(2) fails with EPERM when a directory file descriptor is open with either `kern.chroot_allow_open_directories` being 0, or when the process already is inside a chroot. This is exposed in alpm_run_chroot that uses opendir() to open a file descriptor to the current directory before doing the forking and chrooting. Since the file descriptor is not used in the forked process, we close it. Fixes FS#36161. Signed-off-by: Allan McRae <allan@archlinux.org>

2013-07-30Remove setlocale usage from the backendAllan McRae

2013-07-05do not check error from close(2)Dave Reisner
On operating systems we support, the behavior is always such that the kernel will do the right thing as far as invalidating the file descriptor, regardless of the eventual return value. Therefore, potentially looping and calling close multiple times is wrong. At best, we call close again on an invalid FD and throw a spurious EBADF error. At worst, we might close an FD which doesn't belong to us when a multi-threaded application opens its own file descriptor between iterations of the loop.

2013-01-28Make path to ldconfig configurableAllan McRae
