* add new membarrier, userfaultfd and switch_endian syscallsSzabolcs Nagy2016-01-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | new in linux v4.3 added for aarch64, arm, i386, mips, or1k, powerpc, x32 and x86_64. membarrier is a system wide memory barrier, moves most of the synchronization cost to one side, new in kernel commit 5b25b13ab08f616efd566347d809b4ece54570d1 userfaultfd is useful for qemu and is new in kernel commit 8d2afd96c20316d112e04d935d9e09150e988397 switch_endian is powerpc only for switching endianness, new in commit 529d235a0e190ded1d21ccc80a73e625ebcad09b
* fix aarch64 atomics to load/store 32bit onlySzabolcs Nagy2016-01-241-2/+2
| | | | | | a_ll/a_sc inline asm used 64bit register operands (%0) instead of 32bit ones (%w0), this at least broke a_and_64 (which always cleared the top 32bit, leaking memory in malloc).
* improve aarch64 atomicsRich Felker2016-01-231-16/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | aarch64 provides ll/sc variants with acquire/release memory order, freeing us from the need to have full barriers both before and after the ll/sc operation. previously they were not used because the a_cas can fail without performing a_sc, in which case half of the barrier would be omitted. instead, define a custom version of a_cas for aarch64 which uses a_barrier explicitly when aborting the cas operation. aside from cas, other operations built on top of ll/sc are not affected since they never abort but rather loop until they succeed. a split ll/sc version of the pointer-sized a_cas_p is also introduced using the same technique. patch by Szabolcs Nagy.

* refactor internal atomic.hRich Felker2016-01-211-18/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal, defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared atomic.h will use to construct everything else. this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs' atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
* properly access mcontext_t program counter in cancellation handlerRich Felker2015-11-021-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | using the actual mcontext_t definition rather than an overlaid pointer array both improves correctness/readability and eliminates some ugly hacks for archs with 64-bit registers bit 32-bit program counter. also fix UB due to comparison of pointers not in a common array object.
* fix namespace violations in aarch64/bits/termios.hFelix Janda2015-09-151-7/+7

* aarch64: fix 64-bit syscall argument passingSzabolcs Nagy2015-08-111-4/+2
| | | | | | | | | On 32bit systems long long arguments are passed in a special way to some syscalls; this accidentally got copied to the AArch64 port. The following interfaces were broken: fallocate, fanotify, ftruncate, posix_fadvise, posix_fallocate, pread, pwrite, readahead, sync_file_range, truncate.
* add .text section directive to all crt_arch.h files missing itRich Felker2015-05-221-0/+1
| | | | | | | | i386 and x86_64 versions already had the .text directive; other archs did not. normally, top-level (file scope) __asm__ starts in the .text section anyway, but problems were reported with some versions of clang, and it seems preferable to set it explicitly anyway, at least for the sake of consistency between archs.
* fix __syscall declaration with wrong visibility in syscall_arch.hSzabolcs Nagy2015-04-301-2/+0
| | | | | remove __syscall declaration where it is not needed (aarch64, arm, microblaze, or1k) and add the hidden attribute where it is (mips).
* aarch64: fix CRTJMP in reloc.hSzabolcs Nagy2015-04-301-1/+1
| | | | | commit f3ddd173806fd5c60b3f034528ca24542aecc5b9 broke the build by using "bx" instead of "br".
* dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker2015-04-132-30/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* aarch64: fix definition of sem_nsems in semid_ds structureRich Felker2015-04-011-1/+7
| | | | | | POSIX requires the sem_nsems member to have type unsigned short. we have to work around the incorrect kernel type using matching endian-specific padding.
* aarch64: fix namespace pollution in bits/shm.hSzabolcs Nagy2015-04-011-2/+2
| | | | | | The shm_info struct is a gnu extension and some of its members do not have shm* prefix. This is worked around in sys/shm.h by macros, but aarch64 didn't use those.

* fix MINSIGSTKSZ values for archs with large signal contextsRich Felker2015-03-181-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the previous values (2k min and 8k default) were too small for some archs. aarch64 reserves 4k in the signal context for future extensions and requires about 4.5k total, and powerpc reportedly uses over 2k. the new minimums are chosen to fit the saved context and also allow a minimal signal handler to run. since the default (SIGSTKSZ) has always been 6k larger than the minimum, it is also increased to maintain the 6k usable by the signal handler. this happens to be able to store one pathname buffer and should be sufficient for calling any function in libc that doesn't involve conversion between floating point and decimal representations. x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) may also need a larger minimum (around 2.5k) in the future to support avx-512, but the values on these archs are left alone for now pending further analysis. the value for PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is not increased to match MINSIGSTKSZ at this time. this is so as not to preclude applications from using extremely small thread stacks when they know they will not be handling signals. unfortunately cancellation and multi-threaded set*id() use signals as an implementation detail and therefore require a stack large enough for a signal context, so applications which use extremely small thread stacks may still need to avoid using these features.

* aarch64: add struct _aarch64_ctx to signal.hSzabolcs Nagy2015-03-141-0/+17
| | | | | | | | The unwind code in libgcc uses this type for unwinding across signal handlers. On aarch64 the kernel may place a sequence of structs on the signal stack on top of the ucontext to provide additional information. The unwinder only needs the header, but added all the types the kernel currently defines for this mechanism because they are part of the uapi.
* add aarch64 portSzabolcs Nagy2015-03-1133-0/+1814
This adds complete aarch64 target support including bigendian subarch. Some of the long double math functions are known to be broken otherwise interfaces should be fully functional, but at this point consider this port experimental. Initial work on this port was done by Sireesh Tripurari and Kevin Bortis.
