* make arm reloc.h CRTJMP macro compatible with thumbRich Felker2015-05-141-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | compilers targeting armv7 may be configured to produce thumb2 code instead of arm code by default, and in the future we may wish to support targets where only the thumb instruction set is available. the instructions this patch omits in thumb mode are needed only for non-thumb versions of armv4 or earlier, which are not supported by any current compilers/toolchains and thus rather pointless to have. at some point these compatibility return sequences may be removed from all asm source files, and in that case it would make sense to remove them here too and remove the ifdef.
* dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker2015-04-131-24/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* refactor to remove arch-specific relocation code from dynamic linkerRich Felker2014-06-181-25/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | this was one of the main instances of ugly code duplication: all archs use basically the same types of relocations, but roughly equivalent logic was duplicated for each arch to account for the different naming and numbering of relocation types and variation in whether REL or RELA records are used. as an added bonus, both REL and RELA are now supported on all archs, regardless of which is used by the standard toolchain.
* dynamic linker: permit error returns from arch-specific reloc functionRich Felker2014-06-161-1/+2
| | | | | | | | the immediate motivation is supporting TLSDESC relocations which require allocation and thus may fail (unless we pre-allocate), but this mechanism should also be used for throwing an error on unsupported or invalid relocation types, and perhaps in certain cases, for reporting when a relocation is not satisfiable.
* disable legacy init/fini processing on ARMRich Felker2013-07-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | since the old, poorly-thought-out musl approach to init/fini arrays on ARM (when it was the only arch that needed them) was to put the code in crti/crtn and have the legacy _init/_fini code run the arrays, adding proper init/fini array support caused the arrays to get processed twice on ARM. I'm not sure skipping legacy init/fini processing is the best solution to the problem, but it works, and it shouldn't break anything since the legacy init/fini system was never used for ARM EABI.
* make the dynamic linker find its path file relative to its own locationRich Felker2013-07-181-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | prior to this change, using a non-default syslibdir was impractical on systems where the ordinary library paths contain musl-incompatible library files. the file containing search paths was always taken from /etc, which would either correspond to a system-wide musl installation, or fail to exist at all, resulting in searching of the default library path. the new search strategy is safe even for suid programs because the pathname used comes from the PT_INTERP header of the program being run, rather than any external input. as part of this change, I have also begun differentiating the names of arch variants that differ by endianness or floating point calling convention. the corresponding changes in the build system and and gcc wrapper script (to use an alternate dynamic linker name) for these configurations have not yet been made.
* add support for TLS variant I, presently needed for arm and mipsRich Felker2012-10-151-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | despite documentation that makes it sound a lot different, the only ABI-constraint difference between TLS variants II and I seems to be that variant II stores the initial TLS segment immediately below the thread pointer (i.e. the thread pointer points to the end of it) and variant I stores the initial TLS segment above the thread pointer, requiring the thread descriptor to be stored below. the actual value stored in the thread pointer register also tends to have per-arch random offsets applied to it for silly micro-optimization purposes. with these changes applied, TLS should be basically working on all supported archs except microblaze. I'm still working on getting the necessary information and a working toolchain that can build TLS binaries for microblaze, but in theory, static-linked programs with TLS and dynamic-linked programs where only the main executable uses TLS should already work on microblaze. alignment constraints have not yet been heavily tested, so it's possible that this code does not always align TLS segments correctly on archs that need TLS variant I.
* dynamic-linked TLS support for everything but dlopen'd libsRich Felker2012-10-041-1/+16
| | | | | | | | currently, only i386 is tested. x86_64 and arm should probably work. the necessary relocation types for mips and microblaze have not been added because I don't understand how they're supposed to work, and I'm not even sure if it's defined yet on microblaze. I may be able to reverse engineer the requirements out of gcc/binutils output.
