This avoids the remaining race where the directory being removed is replaced with a symlink after the directory has been opened, so that the filesystem::remove("subdir/file") resolves to "target/file" instead, because "subdir" has been removed and replaced with a symlink. The previous patch only fixed the case where the directory was replaced with a symlink before we tried to open it, but it still used the full (potentially compromised) path as an argument to filesystem::remove. The first part of the fix is to use openat when recursing into a sub-directory with recursive_directory_iterator. This means that opening "dir/subdir" uses the file descriptor for "dir", and so is sure to open "dir/subdir" and not "symlink/subdir". (The previous patch to use O_NOFOLLOW already ensured we won't open "dir/symlink/" here.) The second part of the fix is to use unlinkat for the remove_all operation. Previously we used a directory_iterator to get the name of each file in a directory and then used filesystem::remove(iter->path()) on that name. This meant that any checks (e.g. O_NOFOLLOW) done by the iterator could be invalidated before the remove operation on that pathname. The directory iterator contains an open DIR stream, which we can use to obtain a file descriptor to pass to unlinkat. This ensures that the file being deleted really is contained within the directory we're iterating over, rather than using a pathname that could resolve to some other file. The filesystem::remove_all function previously used a (non-recursive) filesystem::directory_iterator for each directory, and called itself recursively for sub-directories. The new implementation uses a single filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator object, and calls a new __erase member function on that iterator. That new __erase member function does the actual work of removing a file (or a directory after its contents have been iterated over and removed) using unlinkat. That means we don't need to expose the DIR stream or its file descriptor to the remove_all function, it's still encapuslated by the iterator class. It would be possible to add a __rewind member to directory iterators too, to call rewinddir after each modification to the directory. That would make it more likely for filesystem::remove_all to successfully remove everything even if files are being written to the directory tree while removing it. It's unclear if that is actually prefereable, or if it's better to fail and report an error at the first opportunity. The necessary APIs (openat, unlinkat, fdopendir, dirfd) are defined in POSIX.1-2008, and in Glibc since 2.10. But if the target doesn't provide them, the original code (with race conditions) is still used. This also reduces the number of small memory allocations needed for std::filesystem::remove_all, because we do not store the full path to every directory entry that is iterated over. The new filename_only option means we only store the filename in the directory entry, as that is all we need in order to use openat or unlinkat. Finally, rather than duplicating everything for the Filesystem TS, the std::experimental::filesystem::remove_all implementation now just calls std::filesystem::remove_all to do the work. libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog: PR libstdc++/104161 * acinclude.m4 (GLIBCXX_CHECK_FILESYSTEM_DEPS): Check for dirfd and unlinkat. * config.h.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. * include/bits/fs_dir.h (recursive_directory_iterator): Declare remove_all overloads as friends.
