Re: 1.5.24-2: zero-length write() and ioctl() on fd -1 cause crashes
Elliot,
On Sep 18 11:54, Elliott Hughes wrote:
http://software.jessies.org/terminator/ uses Cygwin to provide
Windows support, and it's been most useful. i just thought i'd
mention a couple of things that caused crashes in cygwin1.dll
1.5.24-2 where that might not have been Cygwin's intent (in both
cases the application's skating on thin ice anyway).
first, if i do a zero-byte write(2) to a pty, i get a crash. POSIX
says the behavior in that situation is undefined. i haven't tested
with a regular file (where POSIX explicitly says that write() will
return 0 and have no other results).
second, if i try to set the window size on fd -1, i get a crash:
int fd = -1;
struct winsize size;
// set size.ws_col, size.ws_row, size.ws_xpixel, and
size.ws_ypixel...
if (ioctl(fd, TIOCSWINSZ, size) 0) {
my interpretation of POSIX is that i should get return value -1 and
errno set to EBADF in that case. i haven't tested with other invalid
file descriptors or other requests.
i haven't tested earlier versions of cygwin1.dll.
strangely, a quick look at the Cygwin source suggests that these
cases should be taken care of. ioctl.cc's ioctl starts with a
cygheap_fdget, and check_iovec would appear to take care of the 0-
byte write case for write(2).
I've investigated both problems using small testcases and GDB and I
can't reproduce your observations. In both cases Cygwin works fine,
returning 0 from write(2) when writing 0 bytes to anything (including
ptys), or, returning -1 from ioctl(2) when trying to set the window size
on an invalid fd.
These spurious crashes might hint to a problem in the application
itself. For instance, they could be the result of a stack corruption at
some earlier point in the code. Note that just because Cygwin crashes
but, say, Linux doesn't, that doesn't mean the application is right and
Cygwin is wrong. The outcome of the application problem just shows
different results on different systems.
If, after investigation, you still think there's a Cygwin problem, we
would need some tiny testcase in plain C, which allows to reproduce the
problem with as little code as possible.
Thanks,
Corinna

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION === Homepage: http://www.lzop.org/ License : GPL Lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services, and its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed (at the cost of some compression ratio). On modern systems, when making backups of terrabyte of data, lzop is usually IO-bound and not CPU-bound, which means that you can both decrease storage requirements and effectively reduce backup time by quite an amount.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: OpenSSH-4.7p1-2
I've just updated the version of OpenSSH to 4.7p1-2. The -2 version only solves a packaging problem as reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-09/msg00478.html This is a new major upstream release. The Cygwin release is created from the vanilla sources. The official release message of 4.7p1: OpenSSH 4.7 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. Once again, we would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support of the project, especially those who contributed code or patches, reported bugs, tested snapshots and purchased T-shirts or posters. T-shirt, poster and CD sales directly support the project. Pictures and more information can be found at: http://www.openbsd.org/tshirts.html and http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html For international orders use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order and for European orders, use http://https.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/order.eu Changes since OpenSSH 4.6: Security bugs resolved in this release: * Prevent ssh(1) from using a trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails; found and fixed by Jan Pechanec. Other changes, new functionality and fixes in this release: * sshd(8) in new installations defaults to SSH Protocol 2 only. Existing installations are unchanged. * The SSH channel window size has been increased, and both ssh(1) sshd(8) now send window updates more aggressively. These improves performance on high-BDP (Bandwidth Delay Product) networks. * ssh(1) and sshd(8) now preserve MAC contexts between packets, which saves 2 hash calls per packet and results in 12-16% speedup for arcfour256/hmac-md5. * A new MAC algorithm has been added, UMAC-64 (RFC4418) as [EMAIL PROTECTED]. UMAC-64 has been measured to be approximately 20% faster than HMAC-MD5. * A -K flag was added to ssh(1) to set GSSAPIAuthentication=Yes * Failure to establish a ssh(1) TunnelForward is now treated as a fatal error when the ExitOnForwardFailure option is set. * ssh(1) returns a sensible exit status if the control master goes away without passing the full exit status. (bz #1261) * The following bugs have been fixed in this release: - When using a ProxyCommand in ssh(1), set the outgoing hostname with gethostname(2), allowing hostbased authentication to work (bz #616) - Make scp(1) skip FIFOs rather than hanging (bz #856) - Encode non-printing characters in scp(1) filenames. these could cause copies to be aborted with a protocol error (bz #891) - Handle SIGINT in sshd(8) privilege separation child process to ensure that wtmp and lastlog records are correctly updated (bz #1196) - Report GSSAPI mechanism in errors, for libraries that support multiple mechanisms (bz #1220) - Improve documentation for ssh-add(1)'s -d option (bz #1224) - Rearrange and tidy GSSAPI code, removing server-only code being linked into the client. (bz #1225) - Delay execution of ssh(1)'s LocalCommand until after all forwadings have been established. (bz #1232) - In scp(1), do not truncate non-regular files (bz #1236) - Improve exit message from ControlMaster clients. (bz #1262) - Prevent sftp-server(8) from reading until it runs out of buffer space, whereupon it would exit with a fatal error. (bz #1286) * Portable OpenSSH bugs fixed: - Fix multiple inclusion of paths.h on AIX 5.1 systems. (bz #1243) - Implement getpeereid for Solaris using getpeerucred. Solaris systems will now refuse ssh-agent(1) and ssh(1) ControlMaster clients from different, non-root users (bz #1287) - Fix compilation warnings by including string.h if found. (bz #1294) - Remove redefinition of _res in getrrsetbyname.c for platforms that already define it. (bz #1299) - Fix spurious chan_read_failed for istate 3 errors from sshd(8), a side-effect of the hang on exit fix introduced in 4.6p1. (bz #1306) - pam_end() was not being called if authentication failed (bz #1322) - Fix SELinux support when SELinux is in permissive mode. Previously sshd(8) was treating SELinux errors as always fatal. (bz #1325) - Ensure that pam_setcred(..., PAM_ESTABLISH_CRED) is called before pam_setcred(..., PAM_REINITIALIZE_CRED), fixing pam_dhkeys. (bz #1339) - Fix privilege separation on QNX - pre-auth only, this platform does not support file descriptior passing needed for post-auth privilege separation. (bz #1343) Thanks to everyone who has contributed patches, reported bugs and tested releases.

There's no such thing as CORE in the cygwin distribution; you meant coreutils. I've discovered what I believe to be a problem with dd on several different XP SP2 systems with Cygwin installed involving the usage of Windows' \\.\PhysicalDrive nomenclature. That's your problem.

Re: ssh ProxyCommand not finding anything to execute
SQueeZe wrote: Thanks for your reply Larry, I will continue with the cwRsync guys. The 'advantage' of a package like cwRsync is that most Windows users wouldn't understand or want to dabble with a cywgin install and the intricacies that go along with it. cwRsync can be installed in about 10 seconds, and requires no knowledge of *Nix; I don't think the same could be said of Cygwin. Although I love Cygwin, if you just want a tiny, single subset of its functionality, then it just isn't worth the full install. Of course this has it's disadvantages as we are finding out now. Thanks again for your help. I'm confused by the perception that Cygwin is an all or nothing deal. It's certainly possible to set up a package server that doles out just a subset of the entire distribution. 'setup.exe' does this now. The default set of packages is far less than the whole distribution. Any package server with its own 'setup.ini' can define a larger or smaller set of default packages. 'setup.exe' will install only those defaults if the user doesn't select any others. I don't see where any of that requires special knowledge. But since cwRsync is still a Cygwin-based app, I also don't see how one can get away from the fact that it's based in Cygwin and has its roots in Unix/Linux/POSIX environments. This would show through even with a vanilla Windows port. All that said, there's still no reason a third-party can't go it's own way.

Sorry, but I wasn't able to find the solution you refer to for the problem of setup.exe hanging in Windows Vista. Where can I find it? For getting the installation to keep going, killing off an sh.exe process via Task Manager's End Process, moves things along. This also seems to need to be done for texf (I think that was the name) package. Hell, you can make the whole thing move along even better, by simply killing 'setup.exe' instead of sh.exe. Sure, it may not be correct, but at least it's fast, eh? Or you could wait for it to finish doing whatever vital job it was doing. Your choice. At least we get to the final setup screen this way :-) Works my way too, *and* with the added advantage you don't end up with a semi-broken installation. I'm new to the cygwin development community and would love to chase this problem down and resolve it once and for all. Is there a way to log the shell scripts as they are run from setup.exe? On the semi-broken installation: Actually, the problem was that the whatever vital job that /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh was doing never completed. 30 minutes of wait time by multiple Vista users on multiple brands of spanking new laptops indicates some sort of interaction bug of these shell scripts (or the programs they run) with the wonders of Vista. This hang at 99% forever symptom persists even with setting the Properties of setup.exe to run in Windows XP(SP2) compatibility mode. It's a very disappointing installation experience for novice programmers. Our XP and Windows 2000 users do not have these problems as setup.exe completes just fine. Do I want to kill any part of a carefully crafted installation process? Of course not :-) The problem is if the user kills setup.exe, they wind up with a more broken installation, and lack the Cygwin Desktop icon and the Cygwin Start Menu entry. Killing sh.exe (hopefully the right one) moves the installation process past the block of /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh. Our reason for using Cygwin is to teach young engineering students about C programming in a command line environment.

file locking problem
I have a file locking problem that is solved under Mac and Linux using
fcntl:
int lockRepFile (int fd, char lock, size_t from, size_t length) {
struct flock fl;
fl.l_start = from;
fl.l_len = length;
fl.l_pid = 0;
if (lock == 'r') fl.l_type = F_RDLCK;
else if (lock == 'w') fl.l_type = F_WRLCK;
else if (lock == 'u') fl.l_type = F_UNLCK;
fl.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
return (fcntl(fd, F_SETLKW, fl));
}
Now, unfortunately this hangs occasionally using cygwin - gcc.
I would appreciate any comments and suggestions on how debug this and how to
improve the performance i.e. stop it from hanging...

Yes, those symlinks in /etc are explicitly created with Win32 paths by the base-files postinstall script. I think the reasoning here is that if a POSIX path were used for the target of the symlink then it would have to be updated if the user ever changed the name of the /cygdrive prefix, whereas just using a Win32 path is always correct and insulates from that variable. Moreover, I think recent versions of the Cygwin DLL (i.e. 1.7/HEAD) do in fact normalize the target to be in POSIX form when reading the contents of the symlink file. I seem to recall a headsup from Corinna about this a while ago. This means no special accomodations are needed in 'ls'.

RE: Cygwin Installation Problems on Windows Vista (gnuplot.sh and install-info)
Hi,
Please point out if I'm wrong or misinformed...
I'm trying to trace down the Vista cygwin setup.exe
/etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh hang forever at 99% problem.
The current /etc/postinstall/gnuplot.sh contains the line:
/usr/bin/install-info --dir-file=/usr/share/info/dir
--info-file=/usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz
From Googling about, the install-info part seems to be the part of the shell
scripts that is hanging.
The install-info command is supposed to insert the info format information
about gnuplot into the indexing file /usr/share/info/dir. The info
format stuff is basically plain text with ^_'s ('\x1F' characters) as
section markers and ^? (DEL) as field separators in the index at the end of
the info file. The file is GZIP'd, to save space. The gnuplot.info.gz
gunzip's fine on my XP machine, so a corrupt distribution file seems
unlikely.
So perhaps the problem is the install-info.exe program banging into some
Vista difference.
The install-info.exe program seems to be texinfo package, as shown by:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=install-info.exe
which yields:
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-cat.cgi?file=texinfo%2Ftexinfo-4.8a-1grep=install-info.exe
This seems to imply that the package version is something like texinfo
4.8a-1.
Installing the source for the texinfo 4.8a-1 , we find the file:
/usr/src/texinfo-4.8a-1/util/install-info.c
See Lines 604-643 at end of this post:
My guess is that the popen is not working right.
Pipe emulation is often cranky. I can imagine Vista breaking something.
Or perhaps as all postinstall steps are not finished at that point in
setup.exe, so perhaps gzip is unavailable at that point in the setup.exe's
initial environment.
Or perhaps the hang is related to the fact that install-info.exe reads the
entire file into memory, xmalloc'ing along the way.
I expect to have a Vista machine available again soon to check this out.
Any suggestions on best investigative tactics?

PACKAGE DESCRIPTION === Homepage: http://www.lzop.org/ License : GPL Lzop is a file compressor which is very similar to gzip. lzop uses the LZO data compression library for compression services, and its main advantages over gzip are much higher compression and decompression speed (at the cost of some compression ratio).
