- <youpi> the sudo bug is select() not being able to get interrupted by
- signals

-In context of [[alarm_setitimer]].
-
- <youpi> it's a know issue in select
- <youpi> it's not interruptible by a SIGALRM for instance
- <youpi> which is what ntpdate uses
- <youpi> when __io_select is used, it *is* interruptible
- <youpi> but when __mach_msg is used, it is *not* interruptible
- <youpi> it happens that by luck, ntpdate uses just one fd, and thus it's
- __io_select which is used, and thus it gets an interruption after 1s
- (instead of after 60s, the timeout)
- <youpi> with braunr's patch, it's __mach_msg which is used to wait, and
- thus the interruption doesn't happen, and we have to wait 60s, the
- timeout...
- <youpi> so braunr's patch is still correct, it's the __mach_msg call which
- we do need to make interruptible (it was already on the todolist)

-Proposed patch: [[!message-id

- <_d3f> Hello, any one else having problems with git?
- <braunr> _d3f: yes
- <braunr> _d3f: it will be fixed in the next glibc release
- <_d3f> oh thx. what was the problem?
- <braunr> http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2013-01/msg00005.html
- <WhiteKIBA> exactly this problem is preventing us building glibc
- <braunr> it's indeed very annoying
- <braunr> and this fix will probably have a visible and positive effect on
- other issues
- <_d3f> let's hope so.
- <braunr> well, i'm already using it and see the difference
