* apply hidden visibility to tlsdesc accessor functionsRich Felker2015-04-171-0/+2
| | | | | | | these functions are never called directly; only their addresses are used, so PLT indirections should never happen unless a broken application tries to redefine them, but it's still best to make them hidden.

* use hidden __tls_get_new for tls/tlsdesc lookup fallback casesRich Felker2015-04-141-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | previously, the dynamic tlsdesc lookup functions and the i386 special-ABI ___tls_get_addr (3 underscores) function called __tls_get_addr when the slot they wanted was not already setup; __tls_get_addr would then in turn also see that it's not setup and call __tls_get_new. calling __tls_get_new directly is both more efficient and avoids the issue of calling a non-hidden (public API/ABI) function from asm. for the special i386 function, a weak reference to __tls_get_new is used since this function is not defined when static linking (the code path that needs it is unreachable in static-linked programs).

* dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker2015-04-131-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 aarch64 portSzabolcs Nagy2015-03-113-0/+115
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.
