otherwise, we invoke the state machine in weird
conditions, where some pointers may not be initialised.
we could handle this properly, but why?
therefore, the errhook is called after the argc
check.
this patch fixes a Speicherzugriffsfehler that
i got while running nvmutil with below 3 arguments

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.

a non-blocking file descriptor could be used while
errno is set to these. this would create an infinite
loop. it's better that we only allow EINTR.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

make it more reliable; it can't segfault
now, under any circumstance. not even
once.
the problem arised when lbsetname was not
called in a program, before calling the
function: lbgetprogname. a segfault would
occur, due to it being NULL.
not every os/libc has getprogname, so i have
my own implementation.

not c90
i use stdint now on a few files. i had this
idea in my head to use C89 for some reason,
but this is pointless.
c99 however is worthy as a minimum, because
for example, compilers like tcc will adhere
to its spec (for the most part), so this is
the minimum reasonable requirement on modern
unix systems.

i now use a singleton hook function per program:
nvmutil, mkhtemp and lottery
call this at the startup of your program:
(void) errhook(exit_cleanup);
then provide that function. make it static,
so that each program has its own version.
if you're writing a program that handles lots
of files for example, and you want to do certain
cleanup on exit (including error exit), this can
be quite useful.

i no longer care about openbsd 5.9. we assume unveil
is available, as has been the case for the past 12
years.
i use wrappers for unveil and pledge, which means that
i call them on every os. on OSes that don't have these,
i just return. it's somewhat inelegant, but also means
that i see errors more easily, e.g. misnamed variables
inside previous ifdef OpenBSD blocks.

yes, a common thing in C programs is one or all
of the following:
* use after frees
* double free (on non-NULL pointer)
* over-writing currently used pointer (mem leak)
i try to reduce the chance of this in my software,
by running free() through a filter function,
free_if_not_null, that returns if a function
is being freed twice - because it sets NULL
after freeing, but will only free if it's not
null already.
this patch adds two functions: smalloc and vmalloc,
for strings and voids. using these makes the program
abort if:
* non-null pointer given for initialisation
* pointer to pointer is null (of course)
* size of zero given, for malloc (zero bytes)
i myself was caught out by this change, prompting
me to make the following fix in fs_dirname_basename()
inside lib/file.c:
- char *buf;
+ char *buf = NULL;
Yes.

clamp rand to eliminate modulo sampling; high
values on the randomisation will bias the result.
not really critical for mac addresses, but there's
no reason not to have this. this patches reduces
the chance that two libreboot users will generate
