* implement week numbers and half of the week-based-year logic for strftimeRich Felker2013-06-281-3/+38
| | | | | | | | | output for plain week numbers (%U and %W) has been sanity-checked, and output for the week-based-year week numbers (%V) has been checked extensively against known-good data for the full non-negative range of 32-bit time_t. year numbers for week-based years (%g and %G) are not yet implemented.
* support cputime clocks for processes/threads other than selfRich Felker2013-06-081-2/+5
| | | | | | | apparently these features have been in Linux for a while now, so it makes sense to support them. the bit twiddling seems utterly illogical and wasteful, especially the negation, but that's how the kernel folks chose to encode pids/tids into the clock id.
* fix overflow behavior of clock() functionRich Felker2013-05-231-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per Austin Group interpretation for issue #686, which cites the requirements of ISO C, clock() cannot wrap. if the result is not representable, it must return (clock_t)-1. in addition, the old code was performing wrapping via signed overflow and thus invoking undefined behavior. since it seems impossible to accurately check for overflow with the old times()-based fallback code, I have simply dropped the fallback code for now, thus always returning -1 on ancient systems. if there's a demand for making it work and somebody comes up with a way, it could be reinstated, but the clock() function is essentially useless on 32-bit system anyway (it overflows in less than an hour). it should be noted that I used LONG_MAX rather than ULONG_MAX, despite 32-bit archs using an unsigned type for clock_t. this discrepency with the glibc/LSB type definitions will be fixed now; since wrapping of clock_t is no longer supported, there's no use in it being unsigned.
* fix incorrect clock tick scaling in fallback case of clock()Rich Felker2013-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | since CLOCKS_PER_SEC is 1000000 (required by XSI) and the times syscall reports values in 1/100 second units (Linux), the correct scaling factor is 10000, not 100. note that only ancient kernels which lack clock_gettime are affected.
* do not interpret errors in return value of times() syscallRich Felker2013-05-051-1/+1
| | | | | | | | all return values are valid, and on 32-bit systems, values that look like errors can and will occur. since the only actual error this function could return is EFAULT, and it is only returnable when the application has invoked undefined behavior, simply ignore the possibility that the return value is actually an error code.

* remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIGRich Felker2013-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | the issue at hand is that many syscalls require as an argument the kernel-ABI size of sigset_t, intended to allow the kernel to switch to a larger sigset_t in the future. previously, each arch was defining this size in syscall_arch.h, which was redundant with the definition of _NSIG in bits/signal.h. as it's used in some not-quite-portable application code as well, _NSIG is much more likely to be recognized and understood immediately by someone reading the code, and it's also shorter and less cluttered. note that _NSIG is actually 65/129, not 64/128, but the division takes care of throwing away the off-by-one part.
* make some arrays constrofl0r2013-02-021-1/+1
| | | | this way they'll go into .rodata, decreasing memory pressure.
* fix tm_to_time logic for number of days in novemberRich Felker2013-01-261-1/+1

* clean up sloppy nested inclusion from pthread_impl.hRich Felker2012-11-081-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).
* more close-on-exec fixes, mostly using new "e" flag to fopenRich Felker2012-09-291-1/+1

* use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008Rich Felker2012-09-0610-11/+11
| | | | | | | | to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99 compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form [restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.
* fix (hopefully) all hard-coded 8's for kernel sigset_t sizeRich Felker2012-08-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | some minor changes to how hard-coded sets for thread-related purposes are handled were also needed, since the old object sizes were not necessarily sufficient. things have gotten a bit ugly in this area, and i think a cleanup is in order at some point, but for now the goal is just to get the code working on all supported archs including mips, which was badly broken by linux rejecting syscalls with the wrong sigset_t size.
* add timegm function (inverse of gmtime), nonstandardRich Felker2012-06-131-0/+9
|
* linux deprecated SYS_utime on some archs, so use SYS_utimes insteadRich Felker2012-05-241-1/+8
| | | | | | | | the old code could be kept for cases where SYS_utime is available, but it's not really worth the ifdef ugliness. and better to avoid deprecated stuff just in case the kernel devs ever get crazy enough to start removing it from archs where it was part of the ABI and breaking static bins...
* ditch the priority inheritance locks; use malloc's version of lockRich Felker2012-04-241-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i did some testing trying to switch malloc to use the new internal lock with priority inheritance, and my malloc contention test got 20-100 times slower. if priority inheritance futexes are this slow, it's simply too high a price to pay for avoiding priority inversion. maybe we can consider them somewhere down the road once the kernel folks get their act together on this (and perferably don't link it to glibc's inefficient lock API)... as such, i've switch __lock to use malloc's implementation of lightweight locks, and updated all the users of the code to use an array with a waiter count for their locks. this should give optimal performance in the vast majority of cases, and it's simple. malloc is still using its own internal copy of the lock code because it seems to yield measurably better performance with -O3 when it's inlined (20% or more difference in the contention stress test).

* cleanup various minor issues reported by nszRich Felker2011-09-261-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | the changes to syscall_ret are mostly no-ops in the generated code, just cleanup of type issues and removal of some implementation-defined behavior. the one exception is the change in the comparison value, which is fixed so that 0xf...f000 (which in principle could be a valid return value for mmap, although probably never in reality) is not treated as an error return.

* partially working strptimeRich Felker2011-08-161-148/+149
| | | | | | | | it's missing at least: - derived fields - week numbers - short year (without century) support - locale modifiers
* fix missing include in last commitRich Felker2011-08-131-0/+1
|
* fix clock() functionRich Felker2011-08-131-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | it previously was returning the pseudo-monotonic-realtime clock returned by times() rather than process cputime. it also violated C namespace by pulling in times(). we now use clock_gettime() if available because times() has ridiculously bad resolution. still provide a fallback for ancient kernels without clock_gettime.
* more efficient signal blocking for timer threadsRich Felker2011-08-121-4/+4
| | | | | due to the barrier, it's safe just to block signals in the new thread, rather than blocking and unblocking in the parent thread.
* normal exit from timer thread should run dtors, restore cancel stateRich Felker2011-08-111-1/+1
|
* block signals in timer threadsRich Felker2011-08-111-0/+4
| | | | | | | if a timer thread leaves signals unblocked, any future attempt by the main thread to prevent the process from being terminated by blocking signals will fail, since the signal can still be delivered to the timer thread.
* use weak aliase rather than weak reference for vdso clock_gettimeRich Felker2011-08-071-8/+12
| | | | | | | | this works around pcc's lack of working support for weak references, and in principle is nice because it gets us back to the stage where the only weak symbol feature we use is weak aliases, nothing else. having fewer dependencies on fancy linker features is a good thing.
* workaround for gcc's optimizer breaking dynamic symbol resolutionRich Felker2011-07-241-1/+2
|
* const correctness on function pointerRich Felker2011-07-241-1/+1
|
* some preliminaries for vdso clock supportRich Felker2011-07-233-7/+35
| | | | | | | | these changes also make it so clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts) works even on pre-2.6 kernels, emulated via the gettimeofday syscall. there is no cost for the fallback check, as it falls under the error case that already must be checked for storing the error code in errno, but which would normally be hidden inside __syscall_ret.
* remove old useless timezone.s file (unused)Rich Felker2011-06-131-27/+0

* use volatile pointers for intentional-crash code.Rich Felker2011-06-061-1/+1

* optimize compound-literal sigset_t's not to contain useless hurd bitsRich Felker2011-05-071-1/+1
|
* overhaul implementation-internal signal protectionsRich Felker2011-05-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the new approach relies on the fact that the only ways to create sigset_t objects without invoking UB are to use the sig*set() functions, or from the masks returned by sigprocmask, sigaction, etc. or in the ucontext_t argument to a signal handler. thus, as long as sigfillset and sigaddset avoid adding the "protected" signals, there is no way the application will ever obtain a sigset_t including these bits, and thus no need to add the overhead of checking/clearing them when sigprocmask or sigaction is called. note that the old code actually *failed* to remove the bits from sa_mask when sigaction was called. the new implementations are also significantly smaller, simpler, and faster due to ignoring the useless "GNU HURD signals" 65-1024, which are not used and, if there's any sanity in the world, never will be used.
* overhaul pthread cancellationRich Felker2011-04-172-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free. the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state. these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point. x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
* use a separate signal from SIGCANCEL for SIGEV_THREAD timersRich Felker2011-04-141-7/+25
| | | | | | otherwise we cannot support an application's desire to use asynchronous cancellation within the callback function. this change also slightly debloats pthread_create.c.
* run pthread tsd destructors when a timer thread pretends to exitRich Felker2011-04-091-0/+6
|
* greatly improve SIGEV_THREAD timersRich Felker2011-04-092-15/+20
| | | | | calling pthread_exit from, or pthread_cancel on, the timer callback thread will no longer destroy the timer.
* consistency: change all remaining syscalls to use SYS_ rather than __NR_ prefixRich Felker2011-04-063-3/+3
|
* fix signal-based timers with null sigevent argumentRich Felker2011-04-065-28/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | since timer_create is no longer allocating a structure for the timer_t and simply using the kernel timer id, it was impossible to specify the timer_t as the argument to the signal handler. the solution is to pass the null sigevent pointer on to the kernel, rather than filling it in userspace, so that the kernel does the right thing. however, that precludes the clever timerid-versus-threadid encoding we were doing. instead, just assume timerids are below 1M and thread pointers are above 1M. (in perspective: timerids are sequentially allocated and seem limited to 32k, and thread pointers are at roughly 3G.)
* timer threads should sleep and stay asleep... a long timeRich Felker2011-04-031-1/+1
|
* revert to deleting kernel-level timer from cancellation handlerRich Felker2011-04-032-7/+11
| | | | | this is necessary in order to avoid breaking timer_getoverrun in the last run of the timer event handler, if it has not yet finished.
* simplify calling of timer signal handlerRich Felker2011-04-031-3/+1
|
* avoid all malloc/free in timer creation/destructionRich Felker2011-03-305-29/+20
| | | | | | | | | | instead of allocating a userspace structure for signal-based timers, simply use the kernel timer id. we use the fact that thread pointers will always be zero in the low bit (actually more) to encode integer timerid values as pointers. also, this change ensures that the timer_destroy syscall has completed before the library timer_destroy function returns, in case it matters.
* optimize timer creation and possibly protect against some minor racesRich Felker2011-03-301-14/+19
| | | | | | | | | the major idea of this patch is not to depend on having the timer pointer delivered to the signal handler, and instead use the thread pointer to get the callback function address and argument. this way, the parent thread can make the timer_create syscall while the child thread is starting, and it should never have to block waiting for the barrier.
