Bug ID: 17144
Summary: syslog is not thread-safe if NO_SIGPIPE is not defined
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bugdal at aerifal dot cx
CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
The Linux wrapper for misc/syslog.c defines NO_SIGPIPE and defines send_flags
to MSG_NOSIGNAL so that SIGPIPE suppression is not needed. However if this file
is ever used for non-Linux systems, the SIGPIPE suppression it does via
sigaction is non-conforming to the POSIX requirement that syslog be
thread-safe.
MSG_NOSIGNAL was added to POSIX in the 2008 edition, so I think the
Linux-specific syslog.c should just be removed and instead the generic file
should either assume MSG_NOSIGNAL is available, or check for it directly with
#ifdef and have a thread-safe fallback if it's not defined. The thread-safe
fallback is easy:
1. Block SIGPIPE with the signal mask.
2. Perform the operation that might raise SIGPIPE.
3. Clear any pending SIGPIPE with sigtimedwait and a zero timeout.
4. Unblock SIGPIPE.
However I doubt it's needed. The offending code should probably just be
removed.
