Corinna Vinschen 9a3cc77b2a Cygwin: passwd/group: store account name case correct
When looking up valid accounts by name, LookupAccountName returns
a SID and a case-correct domain name.  However, the name was input
and LookupAccountName is case-insensitive, so the name is not
necessarily written the same way as in SAM or AD.

Fix that by doing a reverse lookup on the just fetched SID.  This
fetches the account name in the correct case.  Override the
incoming name with the case correct name from LookupAccountSid.

Corinna Vinschen 0be0b8f033 Cygwin: execve: fix setting O_APPEND file offset for native child
dtable::set_file_pointers_for_exec is called from
child_info_spawn::worker to move the file position of O_APPEND
files to EOF if the child is a native child.

However, this only works correctly for the first O_APPEND
file descriptor:

- set_file_pointers_for_exec calls SetFilePointer.  The higher
  4 bytes of the desired file offset are given to SetFilePointer
  as pointer to a DWORD value.  On return, SetFilePointer returns
  the higher 4 bytes of the new file position in this DWORD.

- So for the second and subsequent descriptors the higher 4 byte
  of the file position depend on what the actual file position
  of the previous file has been set to:

- If the file is > 2 Gigs, the high offset will not be 0 anymore.

- If the desciptor points to a non-seekable file (i.e., a pipe
  or socket), SetFilePosition returns an error and sets the high
  position to -1.

Fix this by calling SetFilePointerEx instead, which does not
modify the incoming position value.

Corinna Vinschen b5e1003722 Cygwin: processes: use dedicated Cygwin PID rather than Windows PID
Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:

- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly.  Some POSIX applications choke
  on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.

- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
  (depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.

- After an execve, the process has a split personality:  Its Windows PID
  is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
  process.  This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
  second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
  one.

This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:

- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
  expected by POSIX processes.  The PIDs are created incrementally in
  the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.

- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
  for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
  unpredictable.  This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
  to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.

- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
  symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
  PID.  This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.

- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.

- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
  make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
  interfaces getting a Windows PID.

Corinna Vinschen a52396bd07 Cygwin: raise: change to call pthread_kill
POSIX requires that raise(3) is equivalent to

  pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig);

in multi-threaded applications.  Our raise just called kill(sig).
Fix that.

Corinna Vinschen 0fb497165f Cygwin: seteuid: use Kerberos/MsV1_0 S4U authentication by default
- This simple and official method replaces cyglsa and "create token"
  methods.  No network share access, same as before.

- lsaauth and create_token are disabled now.  If problems crop up,
  they can be easily reactivated.  If no problems crop up, they
  can be removed in a while, together with the lsaauth subdir.

- Bump Cygwin version to 3.0.
