2021-02-18libbb: fix '--help' handling in FEATURE_SH_NOFORK=yDenys Vlasenko
Most BusyBox applets respond to the '--help' option by printing a usage message. This is normally handled by busybox_main() so applet main routines don't have support for '--help'. In standalone shell mode with FEATURE_SH_NOFORK enabled nofork applets are invoked directly, bypassing busybox_main(). This results in inconsistent handling of '--help': - applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'" and print help anyway; - realpath says "--help: No such file or directory" and doesn't print help; - usleep says "invalid number '--help'" and doesn't print help. Avoid inconsistency by checking for '--help' in run_nofork_applet(). Bug found by Ron Yorston. function old new delta show_usage_if_dash_dash_help - 70 +70 run_nofork_applet 347 362 +15 run_applet_no_and_exit 432 365 -67 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 1/0 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 85/-67) Total: 18 bytes Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
2021-02-02libbb: code shrink and speed up find_applet_by_name()Ron Yorston
find_applet_by_name() determines the appropriate range of applet indices to check for the given name and performs a linear search in applet_names[]. Revise the code so the index of the upper bound of the range, 'max', isn't calculated. Instead check the value of the first non-matching character to see if we've reached the end of the range. This new code speeds up the time to find a valid applet name by 6% and halves the time to detect that a given name is invalid. The average time to detect an invalid name is now the same as for a valid one. function old new delta find_applet_by_name 155 133 -22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/1 up/down: 0/-22) Total: -22 bytes Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2019-07-02libbb: reduce the overhead of single parameter bb_error_msg() callsJames Byrne
Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d43707 ("'simple' error message functions by Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message(). This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(), bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the corresponding 'simple' version. Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal circumstances. This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c, libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c, networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter logging variants exist. The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4): Arm: -92 bytes MIPS: -52 bytes PPC: -1836 bytes x86_64: -938 bytes Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h) because it made these files larger on MIPS.

2018-11-17Treat custom and applet scripts as appletsRon Yorston
BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets. Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible. Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time and appear just like native applets. Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example. function old new delta scripted_main - 41 +41 applet_names 2773 2781 +8 applet_main 1600 1604 +4 i2cdetect_main 672 674 +2 applet_suid 100 101 +1 applet_install_loc 200 201 +1 applet_flags 100 101 +1 packed_usage 33180 33179 -1 tryexec 159 152 -7 evalcommand 1661 1653 -8 script_names 9 - -9 packed_scripts 123 114 -9 complete_cmd_dir_file 826 811 -15 shellexec 271 254 -17 find_command 1007 990 -17 busybox_main 642 624 -18 run_applet_and_exit 100 78 -22 find_script_by_name 51 - -51 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 1/2 grow/shrink: 6/9 up/down: 58/-174) Total: -116 bytes text data bss dec hex filename 950034 477 7296 957807 e9d6f busybox_old 949918 477 7296 957691 e9cfb busybox_unstripped Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2018-11-01ash: allow shell scripts to be embedded in the binaryDenys Vlasenko
To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient to embed them in the BusyBox binary. 'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory 'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them and embeds them in the binary. When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as 'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism. embed/nologin is provided as an example. function old new delta packed_scripts - 123 +123 unpack_scripts - 87 +87 ash_main 1103 1171 +68 run_applet_and_exit 78 128 +50 get_script_content - 32 +32 script_names - 10 +10 expmeta 663 659 -4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 4/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 370/-4) Total: 366 bytes Signed-off-by: Ron Yorston <rmy@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

2017-07-10libbb: do not die if setgid/setuid(real_id) on startup failsDenys Vlasenko
Based on a patch from Steven McDonald <steven@steven-mcdonald.id.au>: This makes 'unshare --user' work correctly in the case where the user's shell is provided by busybox itself. 'unshare --user' creates a new user namespace without any uid mappings. As a result, /bin/busybox is setuid nobody:nogroup within the namespace, as that is the only user. However, since no uids are mapped, attempting to call setgid/setuid fails, even though this would do nothing: $ unshare --user ./busybox.broken ash ash: setgid: Invalid argument 'unshare --map-root-user' still works, but because Linux only allows uid/gid mappings to be set up once, creating a root mapping makes such a namespace useless for creating multi-user containers. With this patch, setgid and setuid will not be called in the case where they would do nothing, which is always the case inside a new user namespace because all uids are effectively mapped to nobody: $ id -u 1000 $ ls -lh busybox.fixed -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 826.2K May 21 00:33 busybox.fixed $ unshare --user ./busybox.fixed ash $ id -u 65534 Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>

Replace applet_nameofs[] with a smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets. This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC and APPLET_SUID. According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required 353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time: KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0) 0 9057 - 2 4604 32 4 2407 75 8 1342 98 16 908 130 32 884 194 This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8. v2: Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool; Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case. v3: Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as well as the last applet found. v4: Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
