Jonathan Wakely ebf6175464 libstdc++: Fix filesystem::remove_all races [PR104161]
This fixes the remaining filesystem::remove_all race condition by using
POSIX openat to recurse into sub-directories and using POSIX unlinkat to
remove files. This avoids the remaining race where the directory being
removed is replaced with a symlink after the directory has been opened,
so that the filesystem::remove("subdir/file") resolves to "target/file"
instead, because "subdir" has been removed and replaced with a symlink.
The previous patch only fixed the case where the directory was replaced
with a symlink before we tried to open it, but it still used the full
(potentially compromised) path as an argument to filesystem::remove.

The first part of the fix is to use openat when recursing into a
sub-directory with recursive_directory_iterator. This means that opening
"dir/subdir" uses the file descriptor for "dir", and so is sure to open
"dir/subdir" and not "symlink/subdir". (The previous patch to use
O_NOFOLLOW already ensured we won't open "dir/symlink/" here.)

The second part of the fix is to use unlinkat for the remove_all
operation. Previously we used a directory_iterator to get the name of
each file in a directory and then used filesystem::remove(iter->path())
on that name. This meant that any checks (e.g. O_NOFOLLOW) done by the
iterator could be invalidated before the remove operation on that
pathname. The directory iterator contains an open DIR stream, which we
can use to obtain a file descriptor to pass to unlinkat. This ensures
that the file being deleted really is contained within the directory
we're iterating over, rather than using a pathname that could resolve to
some other file.

The filesystem::remove_all function previously used a (non-recursive)
filesystem::directory_iterator for each directory, and called itself
recursively for sub-directories. The new implementation uses a single
filesystem::recursive_directory_iterator object, and calls a new __erase
member function on that iterator. That new __erase member function does
the actual work of removing a file (or a directory after its contents
have been iterated over and removed) using unlinkat. That means we don't
need to expose the DIR stream or its file descriptor to the remove_all
function, it's still encapuslated by the iterator class.

It would be possible to add a __rewind member to directory iterators
too, to call rewinddir after each modification to the directory. That
would make it more likely for filesystem::remove_all to successfully
remove everything even if files are being written to the directory tree
while removing it. It's unclear if that is actually prefereable, or if
it's better to fail and report an error at the first opportunity.

The necessary APIs (openat, unlinkat, fdopendir, dirfd) are defined in
POSIX.1-2008, and in Glibc since 2.10. But if the target doesn't provide
them, the original code (with race conditions) is still used.

This also reduces the number of small memory allocations needed for
std::filesystem::remove_all, because we do not store the full path to
every directory entry that is iterated over. The new filename_only
option means we only store the filename in the directory entry, as that
is all we need in order to use openat or unlinkat.

Finally, rather than duplicating everything for the Filesystem TS, the
std::experimental::filesystem::remove_all implementation now just calls
std::filesystem::remove_all to do the work.

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
