I am trying to implement pread for my diet libc.
This is my test program:
#include <unistd.h>
main() {
char buf[1024];
int fd=open("/etc/passwd",0);
pread(fd,buf,30,32);
close(fd);
write(1,buf,32);
}
I compiled it against diet libc and glibc and ran it on a powerpc box.
t is the test program linked against diet libc, t1 is the test program
linked against glibc.
Here is the result:
$ strace ./t1
execve("./t1", ["./t1"], [/* 19 vars */]) = 0
brk(0) = 0x100106a8
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x30014000
open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/local/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/local/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|S_ISGID|0775, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat("/usr/X11R6/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=9729, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 9729, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x30015000
close(3) = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=992080, ...}) = 0
read(3, "\177ELF\1\2\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0\24\0\0\0\1\0\2(\340"..., 4096) = 4096
mmap(0xfeea000, 1072860, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xfeea000
mprotect(0xffcb000, 151260, PROT_NONE) = 0
mmap(0xffda000, 69632, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, 3,
0xe0000) = 0xffda000
mmap(0xffeb000, 20188, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xffeb000
close(3) = 0
munmap(0x30015000, 9729) = 0
getpid() = 11304
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3
pread(3, "daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:", 30, 137438953472) = 30
close(3) = 0
write(1, "daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:j ", 32daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:j ) = 32
exit(32) = ?
$ strace ./t
execve("./t", ["./t"], [/* 19 vars */]) = 0
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY) = 3
pread(3, "", 30, 137438953472) = 0
close(3) = 0
write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
exit(32) = ?
$
How can this be? Both open the same file and call pread with the same arguments,
yet pread returns 30 for the glibc program and 0 for the diet libc one?!
Can anyone shed some light on this? What exactly is the calling convention
for pread? The diet libc pread code appears to work on x86 and sparc
but not on mips and ppc.
I used kernel 2.4.0-test10 on x86 and 2.2.17 on sparc and ppc, for what
it's worth.
stumped,
Felix
