* fix build regression from removal of #ifdef SHAREDRich Felker2015-11-181-1/+1
|
* keep user-provided CFLAGS/LDFLAGS separate from those added by configureRich Felker2015-11-021-4/+8
| | | | | | this way, overriding these variables on the make command line (or just re-passing the originally-passed values when invoking make) won't suppress use of the flags added by configure.
* fix breakage when user overrides CFLAGS on the make command lineRich Felker2015-10-221-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | these per-target CFLAGS adjustments are mandatory additions to the command line for building the affected targets, not part of the user-provided CFLAGS for tuning. my intent was always that the variable append operations would take place after user settings, but when a variable is set on the command line, it overrides all definitions in the makefile, including target-specific ones. based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
* factor common awk functions for CFI generation scripts into new fileAlex Dowad2015-10-081-1/+1
| | | | | | There is a lot which could be common between i386 and x86_64, but none of it will be useful for any other arch. These should be useful for all archs, however.
* remove use of buggy .SECONDARY special target in makefileRich Felker2015-08-301-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | this functionality is affected by GNU make bug #30653, "intermediate files incorrectly pruned in parallel builds". on affected versions of make, parallel builds attempt to compile source files before alltypes.h is generated. as noted with commit a91ebdcfac6804714a1fe39f4375e2b4ebab085b, which added the use of .SECONDARY, suppression of removal of "intermediate" files does not seem to be needed at present. if it is needed in the future, it should be achievable by explicitly mentioning their names as targets or prerequisites.
* fix makefile suppression of intermediate file removalRich Felker2015-08-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | at one point, GNU make was removing crt/*.o after producing the copies in lib/ due to an arcane misfeature for handling "intermediate" files. the circumstances that caused this are no longer present in our makefile, but the previous workaround using .PRECIOUS was wrong and could result in corrupt/partial files being left behind during an interrupted build. using .SECONDARY is the correct, documented fix that will prevent deletion of "intermediate" files from ever resurfacing.
* Build process uses script to add CFI directives to x86 asmAlex Dowad2015-08-261-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some functions implemented in asm need to use EBP for purposes other than acting as a frame pointer. (Notably, it is used for the 6th argument to syscalls with 6 arguments.) Without frame pointers, GDB can only show backtraces if it gets CFI information from a .debug_frame or .eh_frame ELF section. Rather than littering our asm with ugly .cfi directives, use an awk script to insert them in the right places during the build process, so GDB can keep track of where the current stack frame is relative to the stack pointer. This means GDB can produce beautiful stack traces at any given point when single-stepping through asm functions. Additionally, when registers are saved on the stack and later overwritten, emit ..cfi directives so GDB will know where they were saved relative to the stack pointer. This way, when you look back up the stack from within an asm function, you can still reliably print the values of local variables in the caller. If this awk script were to understand every possible wild and crazy contortion that an asm programmer can do with the stack and registers, and always emit the exact ..cfi directives needed for GDB to know what the register values were in the preceding stack frame, it would necessarily be as complex as a full x86 emulator. That way lies madness. Hence, we assume that the stack pointer will _only_ ever be adjusted using push/pop or else add/sub with a constant. We do not attempt to detect every possible way that a register value could be saved for later use, just the simple and common ways. Thanks to Szabolcs Nagy for suggesting numerous improvements to this code.
* add musl-clang, a wrapper for system clang installsShiz2015-07-061-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | musl-clang allows the user to compile musl-powered programs using their already existent clang install, without the need of a special cross compiler. it achieves this by wrapping around both the system clang install and the linker and passing them special flags to re-target musl at runtime. it does only affect invocations done through the special musl-clang wrapper script, so that the user setup remains fully intact otherwise. the clang wrapper consists of the compiler frontend wrapper script, musl-clang, and the linker wrapper script, ld.musl-clang. musl-clang makes sure clang invokes ld.musl-clang to link objects; neither script needs to be in PATH for the wrapper to work.
* build: overhaul wrapper script system for multiple wrapper supportShiz2015-07-061-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this overhauls part of the build system in order to support multiple toolchain wrapper scripts, as opposed to solely the musl-gcc wrapper as before. it thereby replaces --enable-gcc-wrapper with --enable-wrapper=..., which has the options 'auto' (the default, detect whether to use wrappers), 'all' (build and install all wrappers), 'no' (don't build any) and finally the options named after the individual compiler scripts (currently only 'gcc' is available) to build and install only that wrapper. the old --enable-gcc-wrapper is removed from --help, but still available. it also modifies the wrappers to use the C compiler specified to the build system as 'inner' compiler, when applicable. as wrapper detection works by probing this compiler, it may not work with any other.
* add additional Makefile dependency rules for rcrt1.o PIE start fileRich Felker2015-06-031-2/+4
|
* add rcrt1 start file for fully static-linked PIERich Felker2015-05-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | static-linked PIE files need startup code to relocate themselves, much like the dynamic linker does. rcrt1.c reuses the code in dlstart.c, stage 1 of the dynamic linker, which in turn reuses crt_arch.h, to achieve static PIE with no new code. only relative relocations are supported. existing toolchains that don't yet support static PIE directly can be repurposed by passing "-shared -Wl,-Bstatic -Wl,-Bsymbolic" instead of "-static -pie" and substituting rcrt1.o in place of crt1.o. all libraries being linked must be built as PIC/PIE; TEXTRELs are not supported at this time.
* fix incorrect application of visibility to Scrt1.oRich Felker2015-05-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | commit de2b67f8d41e08caa56bf6540277f6561edb647f attempted to avoid having vis.h affect crt files, but the Makefile variable used, CRT_LIBS, refers to the final output copies in the lib directory, not the copies in the crt build directory, and thus the -DCRT was not applied. while unlikely to be noticed, this regression probably broke production of PIE executables whose main functions are not in the executable but rather a shared library.
* add dependency of dlstart.lo on crt_arch.h to MakefileRich Felker2015-04-231-1/+1
|
* add optional global visibility overrideRich Felker2015-04-191-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | this is implemented via the build system and does not affect source files. the idea is to use protected or hidden visibility to prevent the compiler from pessimizing function calls within a shared (or position-independent static) libc in the form of overhead setting up for a call through the PLT. the ld-time symbol binding via the -Bsymbolic-functions option already optimized out the PLT itself, but not the code in the caller needed to support a call through the PLT. on some archs this overhead can be substantial; on others it's trivial.
* allow libc itself to be built with stack protector enabledRich Felker2015-04-131-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this was already essentially possible as a result of the previous commits changing the dynamic linker/thread pointer bootstrap process. this commit mainly adds build system infrastructure: configure no longer attempts to disable stack protector. instead it simply determines how so the makefile can disable stack protector for a few translation units used during early startup. stack protector is also disabled for memcpy and memset since compilers (incorrectly) generate calls to them on some archs to implement struct initialization and assignment, and such calls may creep into early initialization. no explicit attempt to enable stack protector is made by configure at this time; any stack protector option supported by the compiler can be passed to configure in CFLAGS, and if the compiler uses stack protector by default, this default is respected.
* dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker2015-04-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this overhaul further reduces the amount of arch-specific code needed by the dynamic linker and removes a number of assumptions, including: - that symbolic function references inside libc are bound at link time via the linker option -Bsymbolic-functions. - that libc functions used by the dynamic linker do not require access to data symbols. - that static/internal function calls and data accesses can be made without performing any relocations, or that arch-specific startup code handled any such relocations needed. removing these assumptions paves the way for allowing libc.so itself to be built with stack protector (among other things), and is achieved by a three-stage bootstrap process: 1. relative relocations are processed with a flat function. 2. symbolic relocations are processed with no external calls/data. 3. main program and dependency libs are processed with a fully-functional libc/ldso. reduction in arch-specific code is achived through the following: - crt_arch.h, used for generating crt1.o, now provides the entry point for the dynamic linker too. - asm is no longer responsible for skipping the beginning of argv[] when ldso is invoked as a command. - the functionality previously provided by __reloc_self for heavily GOT-dependent RISC archs is now the arch-agnostic stage-1. - arch-specific relocation type codes are mapped directly as macros rather than via an inline translation function/switch statement.
* add tarball-producing targets to Makefile for ease of releaseRich Felker2014-06-251-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | my old, out-of-tree release script that performed a clone rather than using git archive checked the VERSION file to make sure that it matched before doing a release. I believe there should be a way to do the same with git commands (without resorting to checking out the desired tag) but I have not yet found a way, so care should be taken when using these targets that the correctness of the VERSION file is not overlooked.
* rename dynamic linker entry point from _start to _dlstartRich Felker2014-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | the main motivation for this change is to aid in debugging. since the main program's entry point is also named _start, it was difficult to set breakpoints or quickly identify which _start execution stopped in.
* remove dependency of version.h on .git/* to avoid errorsRich Felker2013-12-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | the wildcard function in GNU make includes dangling symlinks; if any exist under the .git directory, they would get added as dependencies, causing make to exit with an error due to lacking a rule to build the missing file. as far as I can tell, git operations which should force version.h to be rebuilt must all touch the mtime of the top-level .git directory.
* add infrastructure to record and report the version of libc.soRich Felker2013-12-011-1/+7
| | | | | | | this is still experimental and subject to change. for git checkouts, an attempt is made to record the exact revision to aid in bug reports and debugging. no version information is recorded in the static libc.a or binaries it's linked into.
* fix regression in creation of ldso symlinkRich Felker2013-08-311-1/+1
| | | | DESTDIR was wrongly included in the symlink contents.
* re-add logic for ignoring failure of ld.so symlink installationRich Felker2013-08-181-1/+1
| | | | this was inadvertently removed when switching to the new install.sh.
* replace system's install command with a shell scriptRich Felker2013-08-171-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the historical (non-standardized) install command is really inappropriate for installing binaries/libraries on a system that utilizes memory-mapped executable files. rather than replacing an existing file atomically, it overwrites the existing file. this can cause running programs to see a partially-modified version of the file, resulting in unpredictable behavior, or SIGBUS. a MAP_COPY mode for mmap would get around this problem, but Linux lacks MAP_COPY. the shell script added with this commit works around the problem by writing temporary files and moving them into place. unlike the historical install utility, it also support a -l option for installing a symbolic link atomically, via the same method.
* fix atomicity and other issues installing dynamic linker symlinkRich Felker2013-08-161-5/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ln -sf is non-atomic; it unlinks the destination first. instead, make a temporary link and rename it into place. this commit also fixes some of the dependency tracking behavior for the link. depending on the directory it's to be installed in is not reasonable; it causes a new link to be attempted if the library directory has been modified, but does not attempt to make a new link just because libc has been updated. instead, depend on the target to be linked to. this will ensure that, if prefix has changed but syslibdir has not, the link will be updated to point to the new prefix.
* rework makefile subarch logic to allow shared filesRich Felker2013-08-141-4/+12
| | | | | | | | instead of subarchs getting their own .s files which are used directly by the makefile to replace the .c file, they now must provide a .sub file whose contents are a pathname, relative to the location of the .sub file, which will substitute for the .c file. essentially these files are acting as symbolic links, but implemented as text files.
* add subarch asm support for PIC objects/shared libcRich Felker2013-08-111-0/+3
| | | | this rule was omitted in previous subarch asm commit
* allow subarch-specific asm, including asm specific to the defaultRich Felker2013-08-111-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the default subarch is the one whose full name is just the base arch name, with no suffixes. normally, either the asm in the default subarch is suitable for all subarch variants, or separate asm is mandatory for each variant. however, in the case of asm which is purely for optimization purposes, it's possible to have asm that only works (or only performs well) on the default subarch, and not any othe the other variants. thus, I have added a mechanism to give a name to the default variant, for example "armel" for the default, little-endian arm. further such default-subarch names can be added in the future as needed.
* work around gcc 4.8's generation of self-referential mem* functions at -O3Rich Felker2013-08-011-0/+3

* new mostly-C crt1 implementationRich Felker2013-07-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the only immediate effect of this commit is enabling PIE support on some archs that did not previously have any Scrt1.s, since the existing asm files for crt1 override this C code. so some of the crt_arch.h files committed are only there for the sake of documenting what their archs "would do" if they used the new C-based crt1. the expectation is that new archs should use this new system rather than using heavy asm for crt1. aside from being easier and less error-prone, it also ensures that PIE support is available immediately (since Scrt1.o is generated from the same C source, using -fPIC) rather than having to be added as an afterthought in the porting process.
* enhance build process to allow selective -O3 optimizationRich Felker2013-07-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the motivation for this patch is that the vast majority of libc is code that does not benefit at all from optimizations, but that certain components like string/memory operations can be major performance bottlenecks. at the same time, the old -falign-*=1 options are removed, since they were only beneficial for avoiding bloat when global -O3 was used, and in that case, they may have prevented some of the performance gains. to be the most useful, this patch will need further tuning. in particular, research is needed to determine which components should be built with -O3 by default, and it may be desirable to remove the hard-coded -O3 and instead allow more customization of the optimization level used for selected modules.
* refactor headers, especially alltypes.h, and improve C++ ABI compatRich Felker2013-07-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in. this commit is intended to have no functional changes except: - exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require - changing the C++ name mangling for some types - fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed) - fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64 - making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical) in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly, and only at build-time, not runtime. the following changes were made in the interest of moving non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve application compatibility: - netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t) - netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h - sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval) - sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t) - langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item) for the types in stdint.h: - types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of the alltypes system. - fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch. and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes; - mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t - FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE - DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream - locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct - pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only - fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t - fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t - idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX) - nl_catd has been changed from long to void * - siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed - sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t - stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack - suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs - [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs - dev_t has been made unsigned summary of tests that have been performed against these changes: - nsz's libc-test (diff -u before and after) - C++ ABI check symbol dump (diff -u before, after, glibc) - grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes - built gcc 3.4.6
* add build system support for arch endian & float abi variantsRich Felker2013-07-181-1/+1

* fix Makefile so "make install" works before include/bits symlink existsRich Felker2013-07-011-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, determination of the list of header files for installation depended on the include/bits symlink (to the arch-specific files) already having been created. in other words, running "make install" immediately after configure without first running "make" caused the bits headers not to be installed. the solution I have applied is to pull the list of headers directly from arch/$(ARCH)/bits rather than include/bits, and likewise to install directly from arch/$(ARCH)/bits rather than via the symlink. at this point, the only purpose served by keeping the symlink around is that it enables use of the in-tree headers and libs directly via -I and -L, which can be useful when testing against a new version of the library before installing it. on the other hand, removing the bits symlink would be beneficial if we ever want to support building multiple archs in the same source tree.
* remove soname from libc.so/ld-muslRich Felker2013-03-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | it serves no purpose (binaries linked against musl as -lc/libc.so automatically get the right DT_NEEDED value of libc.so) and causes ldconfig to misbehave (making a symlink to ld-musl named libc.so in /lib). ldconfig is not used on pure musl systems, but if ld-musl is installed on a system where it's not the primary libc, this will pollute the system /lib with a symlink to musl named libc.so, which should NOT exist and could cause problems linking native apps. also, the existence of the soname caused spurious warnings from ldconfig when /lib and /usr/lib were the same physical directory.
* Makefile: make it possible to build arch specific C filesrofl0r2013-02-061-1/+1

* offer REALGCC variable to configure musl-gcc wrapper at runtimeRich Felker2012-09-211-1/+1
| | | | | | this is useful when the underlying gcc is already a wrapper, which is the case at least on some uclibc-based system images. it's also useful for running an older/newer/nondefault version of gcc.
* remove forced -O3 from shared library CFLAGSRich Felker2012-09-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | I originally added -O3 for shared libraries to counteract very bad behavior by GCC when building PIC code: it insists on reloading the GOT register in static functions that need it, even if the address of the function is never leaked from the translation unit and all local callers of the function have already loaded the GOT register. this measurably degrades performance in a few key areas like malloc. the inlining done at -O3 avoids the issue, but that's really not a good reason for overriding the user's choice of optimization level.
* split up installation targetRich Felker2012-08-171-2/+10
| | | | patch by Luca Barbato (lu_zero)
* make dynlink.lo depend on reloc.h in makefileRich Felker2012-08-051-0/+2
| | | | | | this is mainly a development convenience but will also ensure users building from latest git always get up-to-date arch-specific dynamic linker code without having to "make clean".
* abstract out compiler runtime library for linking libc.soRich Felker2012-08-021-1/+2
| | | | | this allows config.mak to override the default -lgcc for building with other compilers such as pcc/clang/etc.
* changes to kernel sigaction struct handling in preparation for mips portRich Felker2012-07-111-1/+1
|
* improve the build rules for installing /lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.soRich Felker2012-05-041-2/+4
| | | | | | these new rules should avoid spurious error messages when the directory (usually /lib) and the dynamic linker symlink already exist, and minimize the spam when they can't be created.
* make all .o files depend on *_impl.h and libc.hRich Felker2012-05-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | hopefully the annoyance of this will be minimal. these files all define internal interfaces which can change at any time; if different modules are using different versions of the interfaces, the library will badly break. ideally we would scan and add the dependency only for C files that actually reference the affected interfaces, but for now, err on the side of caution and force a rebuild of everything if any of them have changed. this commit is in preparation for the upcoming ssp overhaul commit, which will change internals of the pthread struct.
* PIE support for i386Rich Felker2012-05-021-1/+1
|
* reorganize Makefile to support "least surprise" config/make semanticsRich Felker2012-05-011-11/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | the major change here is that CFLAGS is now a variable that can be changed entirely under user control, without causing essential flags to be lost. previously, "CFLAGS += ..." was valid in config.mak, but using "CFLAGS = ..." in config.mak would have badly broken the build process unless the user took care to copy the necessary flags out of the main Makefile. I have also added a distclean target that removes config.mak.
* remove objcopy --weaken from the makefileRich Felker2012-05-011-2/+0
| | | | | | | | as far as I can tell, it's not useful and never way. I wrote it way back under the assumption that non-weak symbols in the POSIX or extension namespace could conflict with legitimate uses of the same symbol name in the main program or other libraries, but that does not seem to be the case.
* new gcc wrapper, entirely specfile basedRich Felker2012-04-221-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the _concept_ of this wrapper has been tested extensively, but the integration with the build/install system, and using a persistent specfile rather than one generated at build-time, have not been heavily tested and may need minor tweaks. this approach should be a lot more robust (and easier to improve) than writing a shell script that's responsible for trying to mimic gcc's logic about whether it's compiling or linking, building shared libs or executable files, etc. it's also lighter weight and should result in mildly faster builds when using the wrapper.

* search internal headers firstRich Felker2012-03-011-1/+1
| | | | this is necessitated by the ugly <syscall.h> just added
* two fixes for "make install" handling of shared libsRich Felker2012-02-171-1/+2
| | | | | | | | 1. don't try to install (and thus build) shared libs when they were disabled in config.mak 2. ensure that the path for the dynamic linker exists before attempting to install it.
