Since Linux 4.13, kernel limits the maximum command line arguments
length to 6 MiB [1]. Normally the limit is still quarter of the maximum
stack size but if that limit exceeds 6 MiB it's clamped down.
glibc's __sysconf implementation for Linux platform is not aware of
this limitation and for stack sizes of over 24 MiB it returns higher
ARG_MAX than Linux will actually accept. This can be verified by
executing the following application on Linux 4.13 or newer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void) {
const struct rlimit rlim = { 40 * 1024 * 1024,
40 * 1024 * 1024 };
if (setrlimit(RLIMIT_STACK, &rlim) < 0) {
perror("setrlimit: RLIMIT_STACK");
return 1;
}
printf("ARG_MAX : %8ld\n", sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX));
printf("63 * 100 KiB: %8ld\n", 63L * 100 * 1024);
printf("6 MiB : %8ld\n", 6L * 1024 * 1024);
char str[100 * 1024], *argv[64], *envp[1];
memset(&str, 'A', sizeof str);
str[sizeof str - 1] = '\0';
for (size_t i = 0; i < sizeof argv / sizeof *argv - 1; ++i) {
argv[i] = str;
}
argv[sizeof argv / sizeof *argv - 1] = envp[0] = 0;
execve("/bin/true", argv, envp);
perror("execve");
return 1;
}
On affected systems the program will report ARG_MAX as 10 MiB but
despite that executing /bin/true with a bit over 6 MiB of command line
arguments will fail with E2BIG error. Expected result is that ARG_MAX
is reported as 6 MiB.
Update the __sysconf function to clamp ARG_MAX value to 6 MiB if it
would otherwise exceed it. This resolves bug #25305 which was market
WONTFIX as suggested solution was to cap ARG_MAX at 128 KiB.
As an aside and point of comparison, bionic (a libc implementation for
Android systems) decided to resolve this issue by always returning 128
KiB ignoring any potential xargs regressions [2].
On older kernels this results in returning overly conservative value
but that's a safer option than being aggressive and returning invalid
value on recent systems. It's also worth noting that at this point
all supported Linux releases have the 6 MiB barrier so only someone
running an unsupported kernel version would get incorrectly truncated
result.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arc*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv32-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
