* support ldso path files without final newlineRich Felker2012-11-091-2/+5

* change ldso path file logic to replace rather than add to search pathRich Felker2012-11-081-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | this change was originally intended just to avoid repeated attempts to open a nonexistant /etc/ls-musl-$(ARCH).path file, but I realized it also prevents the default paths from being searched when such a path file exists. despite the potential to break existing usage, I believe the new behavior is the right behavior, and it's better to fix it sooner rather than later. with the old behavior, it was impossible to inhibit search of default paths which might contain musl-incompatible libs (or even libs from a different cpu arch, on multi-arch machines).
* fix "configure --prefix=" and improve path/arg handling in configureRich Felker2012-11-081-16/+12
| | | | | | | previously, empty string was treated as "use default". this is apparently not compatible with standard configure semantics where an empty prefix puts everything under /. the new logic should be a lot cleaner and not suffer from such issues.
* clean up sloppy nested inclusion from pthread_impl.hRich Felker2012-11-0821-16/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | this mirrors the stdio_impl.h cleanup. one header which is not strictly needed, errno.h, is left in pthread_impl.h, because since pthread functions return their error codes rather than using errno, nearly every single pthread function needs the errno constants. in a few places, rather than bringing in string.h to use memset, the memset was replaced by direct assignment. this seems to generate much better code anyway, and makes many functions which were previously non-leaf functions into leaf functions (possibly eliminating a great deal of bloat on some platforms where non-leaf functions require ugly prologue and/or epilogue).
* clean up stdio_impl.hRich Felker2012-11-0841-19/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | this header evolved to facilitate the extremely lazy practice of omitting explicit includes of the necessary headers in individual stdio source files; not only was this sloppy, but it also increased build time. now, stdio_impl.h is only including the headers it needs for its own use; any further headers needed by source files are included directly where needed.
* fix dlsym asm for mipsRich Felker2012-11-081-1/+2
| | | | | | saving the return address from the delay slot is not valid -- by the time the instruction executes, the return address has already been replaced.
* improve SOCK_NONBLOCK/SOCK_CLOEXEC fallback codeRich Felker2012-11-051-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | checking for EINVAL should be sufficient, but qemu user emulation returns EPROTONOSUPPORT in some of the failure cases, and it seems conceivable that other kernels doing linux-emulation could make the same mistake. since DNS lookups and other important code might break if the fallback does not get invoked, be extra careful and check for either error. note that it's important NOT to perform the fallback code on other errors such as resource-exhaustion cases, since the fallback is not atomic and will lead to file-descriptor leaks in multi-threaded programs that use exec. the fallback code is only "safe" to run when the initial failure is caused by the application's choice of arguments, not the system state.
* fix numerous mips abi constant definition mismatchesRich Felker2012-11-054-89/+127

* mips cache flush/ctl syscall support and headerRich Felker2012-11-042-0/+40

* remove one unnecessary static var from dynamic linkerRich Felker2012-11-011-2/+2
|
* fix more unused variable warningsRich Felker2012-11-014-6/+5
| | | | | | | some of these were coming from stdio functions locking files without unlocking them. I believe it's useful for this to throw a warning, so I added a new macro that's self-documenting that the file will never be unlocked to avoid the warning in the few places where it's wrong.
* fix unused variable warningsRich Felker2012-11-012-2/+1

* avoid breakage if somebody wrongly defines empty feature test macrosRich Felker2012-11-012-3/+3
|
* add dl_iterate_phdr interfaceRich Felker2012-10-313-7/+114
| | | | | | | | | | patches by Alex Caudill (npx). the dynamic-linked version is almost identical to the final submitted patch; I just added a couple missing lines for saving the phdr address when the dynamic linker is invoked directly to run a program, and removed a couple to avoid introducing another unnecessary type. the static-linked version is based on npx's draft. it could use some improvements which are contingent on the startup code saving some additional information for later use.
* system is a cancellation pointRich Felker2012-10-281-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | ideally, system would also be cancellable while running the external command, but I cannot find any way to make that work without either leaking zombie processes or introducing behavior that is far outside what the standard specifies. glibc handles cancellation by killing the child process with SIGKILL, but this could be unsafe in that it could leave the data being manipulated by the command in an inconsistent state.
* release notes for 0.9.7 v0.9.7Rich Felker2012-10-281-0/+31

* fix shmdt syscall calling convention on old archsRich Felker2012-10-281-1/+1
|
* separate getc/putc from fgetc/fputcRich Felker2012-10-274-6/+25
| | | | | | | | | for conformance, two functions should not have the same address. a conforming program could use the addresses of getc and fgetc in ways that assume they are distinct. normally i would just use a wrapper, but these functions are so small and performance-critical that an extra layer of function call could make the one that's a wrapper nearly twice as slow, so I'm just duplicating the code instead.
* update documentationRich Felker2012-10-262-33/+67

* further pcc fixes in configureRich Felker2012-10-261-3/+4
| | | | | | | | -lpcc only works if -nostdlib is not passed, so it's useless. instead, use -print-file-name to look up the full pathname for libpcc.a, and check whether that succeeds before trying to link with the result. also, silence pcc's junk printed on stdout during tests.
* add support for detecting pcc's compiler runtimeRich Felker2012-10-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | in old versions of pcc, the directory containing libpcc.a was not in the library path, and other options like -print-file-name may have been needed to locate it. however, -print-file-name itself seems to have been added around the same time that the directory was added to the search path, and moreover, I see no evidence that older versions of pcc are capable of building a working musl shared library. thus, it seems reasonable to just test whether -lpcc is accepted.
* use explicit visibility to optimize a few hot-path function callsRich Felker2012-10-253-11/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on x86 and some other archs, functions which make function calls which might go through a PLT incur a significant overhead cost loading the GOT register prior to making the call. this load is utterly useless in musl, since all calls are bound at library-creation time using -Bsymbolic-functions, but the compiler has no way of knowing this, and attempts to set the default visibility to protected have failed due to bugs in GCC and binutils. this commit simply manually assigns hidden/protected visibility, as appropriate, to a few internal-use-only functions which have many callers, or which have callers that are hot paths like getc/putc. it shaves about 5k off the i386 libc.so with -Os. many of the improvements are in syscall wrappers, where the benefit is just size and performance improvement is unmeasurable noise amid the syscall overhead. however, stdio may be measurably faster. if in the future there are toolchains that can do the same thing globally without introducing linking bugs, it might be worth considering removing these workarounds.
* configure: test not just compiling but linking with -march/-mtuneRich Felker2012-10-251-2/+2
| | | | | | pcc wrongly passes any option beginning with -m to the linker, and will break at link time if these options were added to CFLAGS. testing linking lets us catch this at configure time and skip them.
* correct locking in stdio functions that tried to be lock-freeRich Felker2012-10-246-16/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | these functions must behave as if they obtain the lock via flockfile to satisfy POSIX requirements. since another thread can provably hold the lock when they are called, they must wait to obtain the lock before they can return, even if the correct return value could be obtained without locking. in the case of fclose and freopen, failure to do so could cause correct (albeit obscure) programs to crash or otherwise misbehave; in the case of feof, ferror, and fwide, failure to obtain the lock could sometimes return incorrect results. in any case, having these functions proceed and return while another thread held the lock was wrong.
* greatly improve freopen behaviorRich Felker2012-10-245-17/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. don't open /dev/null just as a basis to copy flags; use shared __fmodeflags function to get the right file flags for the mode. 2. handle the case (probably invalid, but whatever) case where the original stream's file descriptor was closed; previously, the logic re-closed it. 3. accept the "e" mode flag for close-on-exec; update dup3 to fallback to using dup2 so we can simply call __dup3 instead of putting fallback logic in freopen itself.
* remove useless failure-check from freopen (can't happen)Rich Felker2012-10-241-2/+2

* simplify logic in stpcpy; avoid copying first aligned byte twiceRich Felker2012-10-221-4/+4
| | | | | gcc seems to be generating identical or near-identical code for both versions, but the newer code is more expressive of what it's doing.
* fix issues with wait constants in stdlib.hRich Felker2012-10-212-6/+5
| | | | | | the W* namespace is not reserved, so the nonstandard ones must be moved under extension features. also WNOHANG and WUNTRACED were missing.
* as an extension, have putenv("VAR") behave as unsetenv("VAR")Rich Felker2012-10-211-5/+5
| | | | | | the behavior of putenv is left undefined if the argument does not contain an equal sign, but traditional implementations behave this way and gnulib replaces putenv if it doesn't do this.
* accept "nan(n-char-sequence)" in strtod/scanf functionsRich Felker2012-10-211-1/+19
| | | | | this will prevent gnulib from wrapping our strtod to handle this useless feature.
* fix copy/paste error in popen changes that broke signalsRich Felker2012-10-211-1/+1
| | | | signal mask was not being restored after fork, but instead blocked again.
* complex: make _Complex_I work with gcc -std=c99 -pedantic-errorsnsz2012-10-211-0/+4
|
* support looking up thread-local objects with dlsymRich Felker2012-10-191-0/+6
|
* fix breakage in dlsym for looking up RTLD_DEFAULT, etc.Rich Felker2012-10-191-2/+5
| | | | | this was broken during the early dynamic-linked TLS commits, which rearranged some of the code for handling new relocation types.
* fix struct stat size/padding on microblazeRich Felker2012-10-191-1/+2
|
* fix usage of locks with vforkRich Felker2012-10-193-3/+4
| | | | | | __release_ptc() is only valid in the parent; if it's performed in the child, the lock will be unlocked early then double-unlocked later, corrupting the lock state.
* fix crashes in static-linked multithreaded programs without TLSRich Felker2012-10-191-0/+2

* fix order of syscall args for microblaze clone syscallRich Felker2012-10-191-3/+2
| | | | | with this commit, based on testing with patches to qemu which are not yet upstream,
* use $CC rather than "$CC" in configure scriptRich Felker2012-10-181-4/+4
| | | | this is necessary to allow $CC with arguments in it
* inline syscalls for microblazeRich Felker2012-10-181-0/+97
|
* ensure microblaze __set_thread_area returns successRich Felker2012-10-181-1/+2
| | | | | since it did not set the return-value register, the caller could wrongly interpret this as failure.
* better support for reverse-endian variants of arm/mips/microblazeRich Felker2012-10-183-0/+12
| | | | these macros are supported by more compilers
* avoid raising spurious division-by-zero exception in printfRich Felker2012-10-181-1/+1

* fix parent-memory-clobber in posix_spawn (environ)Rich Felker2012-10-183-9/+17
|
* overhaul system() and popen() to use vfork; fix various related bugsRich Felker2012-10-184-56/+110
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | since we target systems without overcommit, special care should be taken that system() and popen(), like posix_spawn(), do not fail in processes whose commit charges are too high to allow ordinary forking. this in turn requires special precautions to ensure that the parent process's signal handlers do not end up running in the shared-memory child, where they could corrupt the state of the parent process. popen has also been updated to use pipe2, so it does not have a fd-leak race in multi-threaded programs. since pipe2 is missing on older kernels, (non-atomic) emulation has been added. some silly bugs in the old code should be gone too.
* fix (hopefully; untested) completely broken/incomplete microblaze sigsetjmpRich Felker2012-10-181-3/+12
|
* fix microblaze asm relocations for shared libcRich Felker2012-10-174-6/+6
| | | | | | only @PLT relocations are considered functions for purposes of -Bsymbolic-functions, so always use @PLT. it should not hurt in the static-linked case.
* assert() is supposed to have type voidRich Felker2012-10-171-1/+1
