Leah Rowe 2c40ad7816 lbutils: only use GNU SOURCE for syscall
and remove manual prototypes; fchmod, realpath
and so on rely on the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro.

the POSIX macro wasn't needed: _XOPEN_SOURCE
is sufficient.

Leah Rowe d100ea1d2f libreboot-utils: always use strict cc flags
otherwise, i will end up with a mess like the
one i recently fixed.

we always want to use correct C. the current
spec is set to c99, with -pedantic turned on.

flags now:

-Os -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -pedantic -Werror

if you do: make hell, you get (uses clang):
-Os -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -pedantic -Werror -Weverything

i initially loosened up the Makefile rules, so
that the code would be more "portable", but
every compiler worth caring about has these
flags, and turning them on is advisable,
especially pedantic and -std, because you want
to have some guarantee that the compiler is
generating correct code; if the standard is
left ambiguous, you could be introducing subtle
bugs when people compile it, because who knows
what spec the compiler is using?

Leah Rowe d2abde5303 libreboot-utils: stricter errno handling
where possible, try not to clobber sys errno. override
it only when relatively safe.

also: when a syscall succeeds, it may set errno. this
is rare, but permitted (nothing specified against it
in specs, and the specs say that errno is undefined
on success).

i'm not libc, but i'm wrapping around it, so i need
to be careful in how i handle the errno value.

also:

i removed the requirement for directories to be
executable, in mkhtemp.c, because this isn't required
and will only break certain setups.

in world_writeable and sticky, i made the checks stricter:
the faccessat check was being skipped on some paths, so
i've closed that loophole now.

i also generally cleaned up some code, as part of the errno
handling refactoring, where it made sense to do so, plus a
few other bits of code cleanup.

Leah Rowe 277c0c8e87 lbutils/file: don't reset errno on successful io
some io syscalls may set errno on success. this patch
honours that. we try to preserve caller errno, but it
is important for debugging not to clobber it.

if fs_err_retry errs, then we don't reset errno.
if fs_err is successful but errno wasn't set, we
restore caller errno. this is done by setting errno
to zero in callers, which also restore caller errno.

Leah Rowe da20b75bea libreboot-utils: more flexible string usage
i previously used error status and set return values
indirectly. i still do that, but where possible, i
also now return the real value.

this is because these string functions can no longer
return with error status; on error, they all abort.
this forces the program maintainer to keep their code
reliable, and removes the need to check the error status
after using syscalls, because these libc wrappers mitigate
that and make use of libc for you, including errors.

this is part of a general effort to promote safe use
of the C programming language, especially in libreboot!

Leah Rowe b96708bd3a lbutils: strict string functions - abort on err
on the conditions where these functions encounter
an unexpected error, we currently return -1

this means that the caller must check. which means
the caller won't check. nobody does. i often forget.

force the caller (me) to be correct, instead.

the current calling convention is that the real
return value is stored in a pointer, provided inside
the function signature, on a given string function,
and the function's return value is merely an indicator.

this calling convention is retained for now; the next
patch will change it, such that the real value is also
the function's return value. this is more flexible.

Leah Rowe 9d4302deb2 libreboot-utils: optimised string functions
operate per word, not per byte

this is also done on sdup, which uses a slightly
inefficient method: the new string allocation is
that of the maximum size, rather than what we
need. for example, if you wanted a 20 character
string (21 including null), you would still allocate
4096 bytes if that was the maximum length.

it's a bit naughty, and i have half a mind to
keep sdup on the old implementation, but i'll leave
it be for now.

Leah Rowe e54862fccc lbmk: use mkhtemp in libreboot's build system
i added a fake -t option, which doesn't actually
read optarg, so that -t usage can just override
the normal template. mkhtemp isn't ready for
distros yet, but it's ready for lbmk.

i hacked the makefile to also copy the binary to
mktemp, and i set PATH in lbmk so that this binary
is used insttead of the one on your system.

that way, upstream projects use it.
