I changed your "current" to "calling" (to be consistent with the
rest of the page), but otherwise applied as you suggest.
The revision will appear in man-pages-2.03, which I can release
any time now. Are you avialable to do an upload tomorrow?
2005-05-31 16:07:24 +00:00
|
|
|
then the effective user ID of the calling process is changed
|
2006-09-04 08:57:04 +00:00
|
|
|
to that of the owner of the program file.
|
2006-07-22 17:24:17 +00:00
|
|
|
Similarly, when the set-group-ID
|
2004-11-03 13:51:07 +00:00
|
|
|
bit of the program file is set the effective group ID of the calling
|
|
|
|
|
process is set to the group of the program file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2006-07-22 17:24:17 +00:00
|
|
|
The effective user ID of the process is copied to the saved set-user-ID;
|
|
|
|
|
similarly, the effective group ID is copied to the saved set-group-ID.
|
2007-04-12 22:42:49 +00:00
|
|
|
This copying takes place after any effective ID changes that occur
|
2006-07-22 17:24:17 +00:00
|
|
|
because of the set-user-ID and set-group-ID permission bits.

The POSIX timers API is implemented (mostly) within the kernel,
so thse interfaces are system calls. Although there are as yet
no man pages, when they are added they should be in Section 2,
not 3. Therefore fix those pages that currently refer to these
interfaces as being in Section 3.

Most UNIX implementations impose some limit on the total size
|
2007-09-10 04:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
of the command-line argument
|
|
|
|
|
.RI ( argv )
|
|
|
|
|
and environment
|
|
|
|
|
.RI ( envp )
|
|
|
|
|
strings that may be passed to a new program.
|
|
|
|
|
POSIX.1 allows an implementation to advertise this limit using the
|
2007-09-20 16:26:31 +00:00
|
|
|
.B ARG_MAX
|
2007-09-10 04:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
constant (either defined in
|
|
|
|
|
.I <limits.h>
|
|
|
|
|
or available at run time using the call
|
|
|
|
|
.IR "sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)" ).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Linux prior to kernel 2.6.23, the memory used to store the
|
|
|
|
|
environment and argument strings was limited to 32 pages
|
|
|
|
|
(defined by the kernel constant
|
|
|
|
|
.BR MAX_ARG_PAGES ).
|
|
|
|
|
On architectures with a 4-kB page size,
|
|
|
|
|
this yields a maximum size of 128 kB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On kernel 2.6.23 and later, most architectures support a size limit
|
|
|
|
|
derived from the soft
|
|
|
|
|
.B RLIMIT_STACK
|
|
|
|
|
resource limit (see
|
2008-02-22 15:18:34 +00:00
|
|
|
.BR getrlimit (2))
|
|
|
|
|
that is in force at the time of the
|
|
|
|
|
.BR execve ()
|
|
|
|
|
call.
|
2008-10-05 03:57:52 +00:00
|
|
|
(Architectures with no memory management unit are excepted:
|
|
|
|
|
they maintain the limit that was in effect before kernel 2.6.23.)
|
|
|
|
|
This change allows programs to have a much larger
|
2007-09-10 04:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
argument and/or environment list.

|
|
|
|
|
For these architectures, the total size is limited to 1/4 of the allowed
|
|
|
|
|
stack size.
|
|
|
|
|
(Imposing the 1/4-limit
|
2007-09-10 04:31:59 +00:00
|
|
|
ensures that the new program always has some stack space.)
|
|
|
|
|
.\" Ollie: That doesn't include the lists of pointers, though,
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Since Linux 2.6.25,
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel places a floor of 32 pages on this size limit,
|
|
|
|
|
so that, even when
|
|
|
|
|
.BR RLIMIT_STACK
|
|
|
|
|
is set very low,
|
|
|
|
|
applications are guaranteed to have at least as much argument and
|
|
|
|
|
environment space as was provided by Linux 2.6.23 and earlier.
|
|
|
|
|
(This guarantee was not provided in Linux 2.6.23 and 2.6.24.)
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the limit per string is 32 pages (the kernel constant
|
|
|
|
|
.BR MAX_ARG_STRLEN ),
|
|
|
|
|
and the maximum number of strings is 0x7FFFFFFF.

execve: Add envp to the Linux notes about NULL pointers
During the review of static analysis results, we discovered a
functional, but non-portable, use of execve(). For example:
char *cmd[] = { "/path/to/some/file", NULL };
execve(cmd[0], cmd, NULL);
The call succeeds. Yet, the static analysis tool (rightly)
pointed out that envp could be dereferenced. But digging into
glibc and the kernel, it appears that like argv, envp when NULL
is treated as if it were an empty list.
So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.

is treated as if it were an empty list.
So, to clear things up, I'm submitting this patch to update the
man page to indicate that envp is treated like argv.

I changed your "current" to "calling" (to be consistent with the
rest of the page), but otherwise applied as you suggest.
The revision will appear in man-pages-2.03, which I can release
any time now. Are you avialable to do an upload tomorrow?
