* ms/inet-bug-fixes:
inet: support retrieving MAC address on BSD
inet: fix getservbyname buffer overflow
inet: fix ifr_name buffer overflow
inet: null terminate ifr_name buffer
OTP-8816

On systems supporting getaddrinfo(), support looking up the MAC
address from inet:ifget/2. The results have the same quirks as with
Linux: if the MAC address is longer than 6 bytes (e.g., fw0 under
Mac OS X), the address is truncated; if the interface does not have
a MAC address (e.g., lo0), an address consisting of 0's is returned.

* rani/sctp-sndrcvinfo/OTP-8795:
Fix xfer_active close expection for Solaris behaviour
Keep default #sctp_sndrcvinfo{} fields on gen_sctp:send/4
Fill in sinfo_assoc_id in struct sctp_sndrcvinfo for getopt()
Conflicts:
lib/kernel/test/gen_sctp_SUITE.erl
|
|
The assoc_id field was uninitialized causing random answers.

inet:setopts(S, [{linger,{true,2}}]) returned {error,einval} for
SCTP sockets. The inet_drv had a bug when checking the option size.
|
|
The mem_drv driver was only useful when elib_malloc was
active.

A long time ago, the Erlang run-time system could be
build with pre-ANSI/ISO-C (K&R) C compilers, but that is
no longer possible. Remove the remaining uses of the
compatibility macros that made it possible that possible.

The byte holding the length of the interface name for the getservbyname/2
function is used in a signed context and can become negative, causing
the buffer to be overrun. Make the same change for getservbyport/2.
Test case:
inet:getservbyname(list_to_atom(lists:flatten(lists:duplicate(128, "x"))), tcp).
|
|
The byte holding the length of the interface name for the ifget/2
functions is used in a signed context and can become negative,
causing the ifreq.ifr_name buffer to be overrun.
Test case:
inet:ifget(lists:duplicate(128, "x"), [addr]).
|
|
The buffer holding the interface name should be null terminated.
See man 7 socket on Linux or the definition of IFNAMSIZ in net/if.h
on FreeBSD:
Length of interface external name, including terminating '\0'.

Debug and patch by Per Hedeland for R13B04 on erlang-patches:
Connected UDP (and handling of any other errors in UDP recv())
is broken in passive mode for all SCTP-enabled builds.

Add an option that atomically tests for the existence of a file and
creates it if the file does not exist, by passing the O_EXCL flag
to open() on Unix and CREATE_NEW flag on Windows. Support for O_EXCL
varies across platforms and filesystems.
{ok, Fd} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]),
{error, eexist} = file:open("/tmp/foo", [write,exclusive]).

Remove redundant "!defined(__WIN32__)". It is used inside
the #else branch of a "#ifdef __WIN32__", so it serves no
useful purpose except to fool unsuspecting readers.

On some combinations of Montavista Linux running on Cavium Octeon
chips, some socket-related system calls erroneously return negative
numbers other than -1 to indicate errors, but inet_drv.c specifically
compares against -1 to test for errors. The result is that beam dumps
core due to the code treating these negative numbers as success
indicators, as counts/offsets of bytes written, etc. thereby
corrupting its own internal data structures.
To fix this, introduce a portability macro to test the result of
socket system calls. The test remains unchanged on Windows but for
other platforms the macro considers all return values that are less
than zero to be errors.
Though POSIX specifies that errors from these system calls are
indicated by a return value of -1, treating all negative return values
as errors is also safe, as described in detail below. In networking
programming, treating all negative return values from system calls as
errors is very common practice -- see the examples in W. Richard
Stevens's popular and highly lauded network programming books, for
example.
For system calls that return 0 to indicate success, treating all
negative numbers as errors is safe because only 0 is specified to
indicate success. These include:
getsockname
getpeername
getsockopt
gethostname
bind
listen
connect
close
shutdown
Likewise, for system calls that return non-negative numbers to
indicate success, treating all negative numbers as errors is also
safe. These functions typically return signed integers of type
ssize_t, and they treat any parameters of type size_t that cannot fit
within the ssize_t return value, such as numbers of bytes to read or
write, as errors (specifically EINVAL). For example, in the "ERRORS"
section of the man page for writev from several varieties of Linux, it
states that EINVAL is returned when the total length of the I/O is
more than can be expressed by the ssize_t return value.
These calls include:
recv
recvfrom
recvmsg
writev
send
sendto
sendmsg
Finaly, the socket() system call is also similar to these in that it
returns a signed type (int) with all non-negative return values
indicating success, so treating all negative return values as errors
is safe.

* fm/file-operations:
Update preloaded modules
Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise
Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only
sys.h: Correct the get_int64() macro
OTP-8637 fm/file-operations
The functions file:advise/4 and file:datasync/1 have been added. (Thanks to
Filipe David Manana.)

Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern
for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to
maximize disk IO performance.
|
|
file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)".
This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not
update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for
example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to
increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write
operations compared to fsync.
More details on it at:
http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync
An example, from the MySQL source:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61
This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.

Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.

tile-cc 2.0.1.78377 when compiling the runtime system.

It must be unsigned so that prim_inet will not reject
when it is sent down again.
(Suggested fix by Raimo for a bug reported by Simon Cornish.)
