Gregory P. Smith 9f12d468f4 Fix possible integer overflow in lchown and fchown functions. For issue1747858. 2009-12-23 09:31:11 +00:00
Antoine Pitrou 30b3b35cba Issue #7333: The `posix` module gains an `initgroups()` function providing
access to the initgroups(3) C library call on Unix systems which implement
it.  Patch by Jean-Paul Calderone.

Thomas Wouters c4dcb3801e Fix issue #1590864, multiple threads and fork() can cause deadlocks, by
acquiring the import lock around fork() calls. This prevents other threads
from having that lock while the fork happens, and is the recommended way of
dealing with such issues. There are two other locks we care about, the GIL
and the Thread Local Storage lock. The GIL is obviously held when calling
Python functions like os.fork(), and the TLS lock is explicitly reallocated
instead, while also deleting now-orphaned TLS data.

This only fixes calls to os.fork(), not extension modules or embedding
programs calling C's fork() directly. Solving that requires a new set of API
functions, and possibly a rewrite of the Python/thread_*.c mess. Add a
warning explaining the problem to the documentation in the mean time.

This also changes behaviour a little on AIX. Before, AIX (but only AIX) was
getting the import lock reallocated, seemingly to avoid this very same
problem. This is not the right approach, because the import lock is a
re-entrant one, and reallocating would do the wrong thing when forking while
holding the import lock.

Will backport to 2.6, minus the tiny AIX behaviour change.

Gregory P. Smith fb7a50fbb9 Fix posix.fork1() / os.fork1() to only call PyOS_AfterFork() in the child
process rather than both parent and child.

Does anyone actually use fork1()?  It appears to be a Solaris thing
but if Python is built with pthreads on Solaris, fork1() and fork()
should be the same.

Kristján Valur Jónsson f030394de3 Fix problems in x64 build that were discovered by the testsuite:
- Reenable modules on x64 that had been disabled aeons ago for Itanium.
- Cleared up confusion about compilers for 64 bit windows.  There is only Itanium and x64.  Added macros MS_WINI64 and MS_WINX64 for those rare cases where it matters, such as the disabling of modules above.
- Set target platform (_WIN32_WINNT and WINVER) to 0x0501 (XP) for x64, and 0x0400 (NT 4.0) otherwise, which are the targeted minimum platforms.
- Fixed thread_nt.h.  The emulated InterlockedCompareExchange function didn´t work on x64, probaby due to the lack of a "volatile" specifier.  Anyway, win95 is no longer a target platform.
- Itertools module used wrong constant to check for overflow in count()
- PyInt_AsSsize_t couldn't deal with attribute error when accessing the __long__ member.
- PyLong_FromSsize_t() incorrectly specified that the operand were unsigned.

With these changes, the x64 passes the testsuite, for those modules present.
