This file summarizes the changes that have been made since publication
to the program examples printed in "The Linux Programming Interface".
Background on some of these changes can be found in the online errata
for TLPI, available at http://man7.org/tlpi/errata/.
2010-11-13
sockets/us_abstract_bind.c
The code was improved as per the erratum for page 1176.
2011-01-17
timers/real_timer.c
A mistake in the ordering of the code in main() was fixed.
See the erratum for page 483.
2011-02-17
psem/thread_incr_psem.c
Fixed an error in a comment. See the erratum for page 1102.
2011-04-05
threads/thread_multijoin.c.
Fixed a race condition. See the erratum for page 649.
threads/prod_condvar.c
Fixed a race condition. The problem was similar to that
described in the erratum for page 649.
threads/prod_no_condvar.c
Fixed a race condition. The problem was similar to that
described in the erratum for page 649.
2011-04-19
altio/demo_sigio.c
Fixed a race condition. See the erratum for page 1349.
daemons/daemon_SIGHUP.c
Fixed a race condition. See the erratum for page 774.
2011-05-18
signals/t_kill.c
Fixed an error in a diagnostic message. See the erratum
for page 406.
2011-07-06
Makefile
Added missing "memalloc" to the directory list.
memalloc/free_and_sbrk.c
Added feature test macro definition (_BSD_SOURCE).
See the erratum for page 142.
2011-08-11
acl/acl_view.c
Fixed a small bug as per the erratum for page 336.
2011-09-04
pipes/popen_glob.c
procexec/make_zombie.c
sockets/inet_sockets.c
Removed an unnecessary assignment statement that added
a terminating null byte to the string buffer output by
snprintf(). See the erratum for page 555.
2011-12-05
dirs_links/t_unlink.c
Added a comment referring to the erratum for page 348.
2011-12-06
pty/unbuffer.c
Change parent exit status when read() returns <= 0
from EXIT_FAILURE to EXIT_SUCCESS.
2011-12-13
signals/catch_rtsigs.c
Restore 3 lines that were accidentally omitted at the
end of this program. See the erratum for page 463.
2011-12-31
threads/thread_incr.c
Make global variable 'glob' volatile, so that the program
more easily produces "incorrect" behavior, even in the face
of compiler optimizations. See the erratum for page 632.
2012-02-16
lib/alt_functions.c
Fix indentation in ALT_posix_openpt().
2012-04-03
lib/Makefile
lib/Build_ename.sh
Refactor, so that Build_ename.sh produces output on stdout,
rather than to a named file.
2012-04-06
lib/itimerspec_from_str.c
Conditionally make the content of this file empty if
compiling on MacOSX, since that operating system doesn't
define the 'itimerspec' structure.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
Makefile.inc.MacOSX
Remove '-lrt' from the IMPL_LDLIBS definition, since there
is no librt on MacOSX.
2012-05-04
fileio/seek_io.c
Fix a typo in comment at top of the program.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
2012-05-11
psem/Makefile
Correct the makefile to use "cc -pthreads" for POSIX
semaphores. Formerly, the makefile used "cc -lrt", but
recent toolchain changes mean that that this no longer works
("cc -pthreads" always worked.) See the erratum for page 1061.
(Thanks to Robert P. J. Day.)
pshm/Makefile
Correct a bug in the makefile that caused link errors.
(Formerly, the makefile worked, but this was fortuitous;
recent toolchain changes revealed the bug.)
2012-05-13
pshm/README
Fix a wordo.
2012-05-20
README
Various small fixes.
(Thanks to Robert P. J. Day.)
2012-05-25
BUILDING
Various small fixes.
(Thanks to Robert P. J. Day.)
2012-05-26
memalloc/free_and_sbrk.c
Fix an error in the code comments at the top of the program.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
(Thanks to Robert P. J. Day.)
2012-05-31
svmsg/svmsg_info.c
svsem/svsem_info.c
svshm/svshm_info.c
Eliminate unnecessary inclusion of <sys/ipc.h> header file.
(Thanks to Robert P. J. Day.)
2012-06-05
COPYING
Renamed to COPYING.agpl-v3
Added new files:
COPYING.gpl-v3
Copy of the GNU General Public License, version 3
COPYING.lgpl-v3
Copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3
lib/*
Changed the license of the library functions in the /lib
directory to GNU Lesser General Public License, version 3.
sockets/read_line_buf.c
sockets/read_line_buf.h
Created links for the sockets/read_line_buf.{c,h} files in the
lib/ directory, so that these files are licensed LGPLv3.
README
Updated to note the licensing of the library functions.
2012-07-05
filesys/t_statfs.c
filesys/t_statvfs.c
Changed several printf() statements to use unsigned types for
various fields, since (in the case of the 'statvfs' structure at
least) these fields are specified as unsigned in SUSv[34].
(The 'statfs' structure isn't covered by SUSv[34], but using
unsigned types seems reasonable and safe.)
2012-07-22
filelock/create_pid_file.c
Small wording fix in a comment.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
procexec/execlp.c
Small wording fix in a comment.
svshm/svshm_xfr_reader.c
Small wording fix in a comment.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
sysinfo/procfs_pidmax.c
Small wording fix in a comment.
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
threads/one_time_init.c
Small wording fix in a comment.
2012-07-26
filebuff/direct_read.c
Fix an error in comment describing program arguments.
(Thanks to Jason Orendorff.)
(Only in "dist" version of code.)
2012-08-03
loginacct/dump_utmpx.c
loginacct/utmpx_login.c
loginacct/view_lastlog.c
Remove unneeded casts.
See the errata for pages 824, 829, and 831.
2012-09-10
loginacct/dump_utmpx.c
Fix error introduced in 2012-08-03 changes.
altio/epoll_input.c
Improve a comment.
See the erratum for page 1363.
2012-09-27
svsem/Makefile
Fixed a bug in the Makefile that causes svsem_demo.c
not to be built.
(Thanks to Jinnan Wang.)
2012-09-30
timers/real_timer.c
Use NULL instead of 0 for last argument of setitimer() call.
See the erratum for page 484.
(Thanks to Trevor Woerner.)
2012-10-02
Makefile.inc
Add "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable" to compiler flags
(the IMPL_CFLAGS macro), to prevent compilation warnings
in three of the example programs. (Those warnings do not
correspond to real problems in the code.) The
"-Wunused-but-set-variable" flag was added (and turned on
by default) in gcc 4.6, which was released on 2011-03-35
(i.e., after TLPI was written).
2012-10-15
loginacct/dump_utmpx.c
loginacct/utmpx_login.c
loginacct/view_lastlog.c
Revert the changes of 2012-08-03. These were made overlooking
the fact that in the 'utmpx' structure, 'tv_sec' is defined as
being of type 'int32_t', not 'time_t', so that the 2012-08-03
changes in fact cause warnings on 64-bit systems.
As a consequence, three (as yet unapplied) errata
for pages 824, 829, and 831 are removed.
2012-10-18

Interestingly, this error was not present in the printed
version of the code (page 628 of TLPI).

namespaces/multi_pidns.c
Allocate stacks for the child processes on the heap rather
than in static memory. Marcos Paulo de Souza pointed out
that the children were being killed by SIGSEGV after they
had completed the sleep() calls. (Some further investigation
showed that all children except the *last* are killed with
SIGSEGV.) It appears that they are killed after the child
start function returns. The problem goes away if the
children are allocated stacks in separate memory areas by
calling malloc() (which is the change made in this patch)
or in separate statically allocated buffers.
The reason that the children were killed is based on (my
misunderstanding of) the subtleties of the magic done
in the glibc clone() wrapper function. (See, for example,
the x86-64 implementation in the glibc source file
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S.) The
previous code was relying on the fact that the parent's
memory was duplicated in the child during the clone() system
call, and the assumption that that duplicated memory could be
used in the child. However, before executing the clone()
system call, the clone() wrapper function saves some
information (that will be used by the child) onto the stack.
This happens in the address space of the parent, before the
memory is duplicated in the system call. Since the previous
code was making use of the same statically allocated buffer
(i.e., the same address as was used for the parent's stack)
for the child stack, the consequence was that the steps in
the clone() wrapper function were corrupting the stack of the
*parent* process, which ultimately resulted in (all but the
last of) the child processes crashing.
2017-10-17
namespaces/demo_userns.c
namespaces/demo_uts_namespaces.c
namespaces/ns_child_exec.c
namespaces/pidns_init_sleep.c
namespaces/userns_cap_sig_expt.c
namespaces/userns_child_exec.c
namespaces/userns_setns_test.c
Allocate child stack on heap, rather than statically.
Although this is not strictly necessary in these programs
(since only one clone() child is created in each of the
programs), using dynamically allocated memory is good
pedagogical practice, to prevent problems such as were
revealed in the namespaces/multi_pidns.c program.
2017-11-10
pipes/fifo_seqnum_client.c
Fix a small typo in an error diagnostic message.
See the erratum for page 915.
(Thanks to Matthew Meffan.)
2017-11-13
seccomp/seccomp_deny_open.c
Extend the filter to also deny openat() calls. This means
the filter will also work with glibc 2.26 and later, where
the wrapper function for open() now calls openat().
seccomp/seccomp_control_open.c
Extend the filter to also handle openat() calls. This means
the filter will also work with glibc 2.26 and later, where
the wrapper function for open() now calls openat().

2018-03-01
seccomp/seccomp_multiarch.c
Add a new program that tests system call numbers for the same
system call for different Intel architectures. This can be
used to demonstrate that execve() can be used to switch the
architecture of the program that a process is running, and
thus why *every* invocation of a seccomp filter must begin
with a test to verify the architecture (since the
architecture may change during the life of a
process/life of the seccomp filter).
