busybox: fix double free in top causing a SIGABRT storm after SIGPIPE

2016-08-19T13:55:51+00:00

On some platforms the command 'top -n1 | head' goes very often into an infinite loop of SIGABRT and double free()s. Fix by applying a patch from upstream Busybox. For a detailed explanation of the bug, see http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2016-August/084555.html Thanks to Yann for the help in finding this bug.

package/busybox: add comment about BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS

2016-07-18T21:29:01+00:00

BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS is a bit special. When Busybox is enabled, it is a Busybox option. When Busybox is not enabled, it is a stand-alone option, forcibly enabled. So we can safely 'select' it without ensuring (via a 'depends on' or another 'select') that Busybox is enabled. However, the name of this option does not express the fact that it is safe to select it without checking Busybox, which can lead to a bit of time-consuming head-scratching. To avoid future puzzlement from an unsuspecting observer, add a a big fat comment that this option can be selected without any dependency on Busybox. Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Cc: Peter Korsgaard Cc: Romain Naour Reviewed-by: Romain Naour [Thomas: slightly improve the wording of one of the comment.] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package/busybox: support spaces in module aliases in mdev

2016-07-02T11:15:50+00:00

The new change which enabled automatic module loading on boot does not handle the cases when module alias includes spaces. It prevents modules to be loaded since script fails: % find /sys/ -name modalias | xargs sort -u sort: /sys/devices/platform/Fixed: No such file or directory First alias in question is "platform:Fixed MDIO bus". Amend the script to support above like cases. Fixes: 07f46c2b6dae ("package/busybox: support automatic module loading with mdev") Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

libselinux: bump to version 2.5

2016-07-01T09:06:05+00:00

In addition, if a user is using glibc 2.22, the default CFLAG D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 will cause a compile error. This flag is now removed from the CFLAGS in the make file to ensure that toolchains compiled against glibc 2.22 will build the new version of the package properly. In addition, libselinux now uses fts(), which is not available on musl, and not provided by our default uClibc configuration. Therefore, libselinux now depends on glibc, as well as all its reverse dependencies. Signed-off-by: Adam Duskett Reviewed-by: "Yann E. MORIN" [Thomas: add glibc dependency for fts().] Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

These require newer toolchain components. Since they didn't exist in previous versions no functionality is lost. Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/b63/b6312626b3938555c4e5a68ad42f6951b02d7760/ Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
