From 93bf37ce1507380f74d4cb4cab6640fc7d2eb7d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Colin Walters Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 17:09:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] gmain: Add private API to create Unix child watch that uses waitid() This avoids collecting the zombie child, which means that the PID can't be reused. This prevents possible race conditions that might occur were one to send e.g. SIGTERM to a child. This race condition has always existed due to the way we called waitpid() for the app, but the window was widened when we moved the waitpid() calls into a separate thread. If waitid() isn't available, we return NULL, and consumers of this private API (namely, GSubprocess) will need to handle that. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672102 --- configure.ac | 2 +- glib/glib-private.c | 3 +- glib/glib-private.h | 3 + glib/gmain.c | 178 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 4 files changed, 141 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 6a820ca..2daebd1 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -989,7 +989,7 @@ AC_MSG_RESULT(unsigned $glib_size_type) # Check for some functions AC_CHECK_FUNCS(lstat strerror strsignal memmove vsnprintf stpcpy strcasecmp strncasecmp poll getcwd vasprintf setenv unsetenv getc_unlocked readlink symlink fdwalk memmem) -AC_CHECK_FUNCS(chown lchmod lchown fchmod fchown link utimes getgrgid getpwuid getresuid) +AC_CHECK_FUNCS(chown lchmod lchown fchmod fchown link utimes getgrgid getpwuid getresuid waitid) AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getmntent_r setmntent endmntent hasmntopt getfsstat getvfsstat) # Check for high-resolution sleep functions AC_CHECK_FUNCS(splice) diff --git a/glib/glib-private.c b/glib/glib-private.c index e7838a6..c2346c5 100644 --- a/glib/glib-private.c +++ b/glib/glib-private.c @@ -41,7 +41,8 @@ glib__private__ (void) g_get_worker_context, g_check_setuid, - g_main_context_new_with_next_id + g_main_context_new_with_next_id, + g_child_watch_source_new_nowait }; return &table; diff --git a/glib/glib-private.h b/glib/glib-private.h index 23bfb36..1ea840d 100644 --- a/glib/glib-private.h +++ b/glib/glib-private.h @@ -29,6 +29,8 @@ G_GNUC_INTERNAL gboolean g_check_setuid (void); G_GNUC_INTERNAL GMainContext * g_main_context_new_with_next_id (guint next_id); +G_GNUC_INTERNAL +GSource * g_child_watch_source_new_nowait (GPid pid); #define GLIB_PRIVATE_CALL(symbol) (glib__private__()->symbol) @@ -46,6 +48,7 @@ typedef struct { gboolean (* g_check_setuid) (void); GMainContext * (* g_main_context_new_with_next_id) (guint next_id); + GSource * (* g_child_watch_source_new_nowait) (GPid pid); /* Add other private functions here, initialize them in glib-private.c */ } GLibPrivateVTable; diff --git a/glib/gmain.c b/glib/gmain.c index c1776a8..6b43126 100644 --- a/glib/gmain.c +++ b/glib/gmain.c @@ -293,7 +293,9 @@ struct _GChildWatchSource #ifdef G_OS_WIN32 GPollFD poll; #else /* G_OS_WIN32 */ - gboolean child_exited; + guint child_exited : 1; + guint wnowait : 1; + guint reserved : 30; #endif /* G_OS_WIN32 */ }; @@ -4460,6 +4462,82 @@ wake_source (GSource *source) G_UNLOCK(main_context_list); } +/* This is a hack; we want to use the newer waitid() call, but the use + * of the waitpid() status code API is baked into the GChildWatchSource + * callback signature, so we need to synthesize it from the siginfo_t + * we get from waitid(). + */ +#ifdef HAVE_WAITID +#define __G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS(ecode, signum) ((ecode) << 8 | (signum)) +static gint +waitpid_status_from_siginfo (siginfo_t *siginfo) +{ + G_STATIC_ASSERT(((WIFEXITED (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (1, 0))) && \ + !(WIFSIGNALED (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (1, 0))) && \ + (WEXITSTATUS (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (1, 0)) == 1))); + G_STATIC_ASSERT((!WIFEXITED (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (0, 1))) && \ + (WIFSIGNALED (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (0, 1))) && \ + (WTERMSIG (__G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS (0, 1)) == 1)); + if (siginfo->si_code == CLD_EXITED) + return __G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS(siginfo->si_status, 0); + else if (siginfo->si_code == CLD_KILLED || siginfo->si_code == CLD_DUMPED) + return __G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS(0, siginfo->si_status); + else + return __G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS(0xFF, 0); +} +#undef __G_MAKE_EXITSTATUS +#endif /* HAVE_WAITID */ + +/* Returns TRUE if we need to wake the source */ +static gboolean +unix_child_watch_source_waitpid (GChildWatchSource *source) +{ + pid_t pid; + + if (source->child_exited) + return FALSE; + +#ifdef HAVE_WAITID + if (source->wnowait) + { + siginfo_t siginfo; + int r; + + siginfo.si_pid = 0; + do + r = waitid (P_PID, (id_t)source->pid, &siginfo, WEXITED | WNOHANG | WNOWAIT); + while (r == -1 && errno == EINTR); + + if (r == 0 && siginfo.si_pid == source->pid) + { + source->child_exited = TRUE; + source->child_status = waitpid_status_from_siginfo (&siginfo); + return TRUE; + } + } else +#endif + { + do + pid = waitpid (source->pid, &source->child_status, WNOHANG); + while (pid == -1 && errno == EINTR); + + if (pid > 0) + { + source->child_exited = TRUE; + return TRUE; + } + else if (pid == -1 && errno == ECHILD) + { + g_warning ("GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid().
