Some Linux distributions are experimenting with a new, separately
maintained and hopefully more agile implementation of the crypt(3)
APIs.  To facilitate this, add a configure option which disables
glibc's embedded libcrypt.  When this option is given, libcrypt.*
and crypt.h will not be built nor installed; the prototypes for
crypt and encrypt will not appear in unistd.h; the prototype for
setkey will not appear in stdlib.h; the feature test macro
_XOPEN_CRYPT will be undefined; and sysconf(_SC_XOPEN_CRYPT) will
return -1.

(There is an argument for defining _XOPEN_CRYPT to -1 instead.  The
POSIX spec says that undefined means the same thing as defined to -1,
but the Linux sysconf(3) manpage differs, so it's a question of who
believed what.  I went with undefined on the theory that people might
be testing it with #ifdef instead of #if >= 0.)

The bulk of the patch is just various places that need to take note of
libcrypt possibly not getting built.  The _interesting_ part is the
treatment of stdlib.h and unistd.h.  The declarations that need to
appear conditionally are moved to bits headers, each of which has two
variants, one which declares them and one which doesn't.  In the
source tree, neither of them has the name by which the parent header
includes it; very early in the build we select the appropriate one and
copy it to the expected name.  I would really appreciate a second pair
of eyes on the changes to Makerules, which are fragile to the point
that they don't work if they appear later in the file!  (Because
$(before-compile) is order-sensitive.)

	* configure.ac: Add new command-line option --disable-libcrypt.
	Force --disable-nss-crypt when --disable-libcrypt is given, with a
	warning if it was explicitly enabled.
	* configure, config.make.in: Regenerate.
	* Makeconfig: Only include 'crypt' in all-subdirs and rpath-dirs
	when $(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	* Makerules: Add rules to build bits/stdlib-crypt.h and
	bits/unistd-crypt.h depending on the value of $(build-libcrypt),
	in the before-compile phase.
	* posix/Makefile (headers): Add bits/unistd-crypt.h.
	* stdlib/Makefile (headers): Add bits/stdlib-crypt.h.

	* posix/unistd.h: Move declarations of _XOPEN_CRYPT, crypt, and
	encrypt to ...
	* posix/bits/unistd-crypt-yes.h: ...this new file.
	* posix/bits/unistd-crypt-no.h: New file, which doesn't declare
	anything.

	* stdlib/stdlib.h: Move declaration of setkey to...
	* posix/bits/stdlib-crypt-yes.h: ...this new file.
	* posix/bits/stdlib-crypt-no.h: New file, which doesn't declare
	anything.

	* conform/data/stdlib.h-data: Only expect setkey when HAVE_CRYPT
	is 1.
	* conform/data/unistd.h-data: Only expect _XOPEN_CRYPT, crypt, and
	encrypt when HAVE_CRYPT is 1.  When _XOPEN_CRYPT is expected, it
	should be a macro with value 1.
	* conform/conformtest.pl: Add new command line option
	--have-crypt.  When preprocessing control files, define HAVE_CRYPT
	to 1 when --have-crypt was given, 0 otherwise.
	* conform/Makefile: Pass --have-crypt to conformtest.pl when
	$(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	Only include libcrypt.a in linknamespace-libs-xsi and
	linknamespace-libs-XPG4 when $(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	* elf/Makefile (CFLAGS-tst-linkall-static.c): Only define
	USE_CRYPT to 1 when $(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	(tst-linkall-static): Only link with libcrypt.a when
	$(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	(localplt-built-dso): Only include libcrypt.so when
	$(build-libcrypt) is yes.
	* elf/tst-linkall-static.c: Only include crypt.h when USE_CRYPT is
	true.

The #include should be indented.

Based on the Fedora experience, I wonder if it's not best to keep 
support _XOPEN_CRYPT unconditionally.  GCC still supports implicit 
function definitions by default and coerces the implied int return type 
to a pointer value.  This means that we drop the prototype from 
<unistd.h>, a program like

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
   return puts(crypt(argv[1], argv[2]));
}

still builds and links  successfully, but crashes at run time on 64-bit 
architectures.

 From a developer perspective, it would avoid a bit of hassle if we just 
said that if a distribution builds with --disable-libcrypt, it still 
needs to supply a compatible libcrypt with a definition of crypt and a 
default symbol version.

With encrypt and setkey, the situation is less pronounced because these 
functions are obsolete, and we can produce link errors if developers use 
them.

Thanks,
Florian

Let me see if I understand what you have in mind:  In
--disable-libcrypt mode, we would preserve _XOPEN_CRYPT, with value 1,
and the prototype for crypt in unistd.h.  We would also preserve the
prototypes for encrypt and setkey, but maybe with
__attribute__((deprecated)).  We just wouldn't provide crypt.h or
libcrypt.  It's not a conformance violation for us to continue
defining _XOPEN_CRYPT as 1 because, as long as you get libcrypt from
_somewhere_, it will work at runtime.  Is that right?

I like this plan because it means the patch doesn't have to touch Makerules :)

p.s. Maybe someone with the ability to file Austin Group defect
reports or interpretation requests or whatever they're called should
request the formal deprecation of encrypt and setkey?

Turns out I have that ability!  http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1192

My main proposal is preserving the prototype for crypt, under 
_GNU_SOURCE if necessary (without defining _XOPEN_CRYPT).

I just don't see value in the friction caused by dropping the definition.

I'm less concerned about these two functions.  We can do there whatever 
we think is best from a standard compliance perspective, I think.  There 
simply aren't enough users to make a difference, I think.  This is very 
different for the crypt function.

Exactly.

Right.

It could still be a conformance violation for setkey/encrypt because 
current libxcrypt (at least the version in Fedora) does not provide the 
functions anymore for linking:

$ eu-readelf --symbols=.dynsym /lib64/libcrypt.so.1 | grep encrypt
    38: 000000000000b330     20 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT       12 
encrypt_r@GLIBC_2.2.5
    52: 000000000000b360     16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT       12 
encrypt@GLIBC_2.2.5

Thanks,
Florian

Makes sense.

Yeah, I did that on purpose; the total insecurity of single DES
outweighs standard compliance in this case, I think.  And, as you say,
there probably aren't very many users.

I'll send a revised patch shortly.
