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.

these should be tweaked according to testing. offhand i know 1000 is
too low and 5000 is likely to be sufficiently high. consider trying to
add futexes to file locking, too...

the previous implementation had at least 2 problems:
1. the case where additional threads reached the barrier before the
first wave was finished leaving the barrier was untested and seemed
not to be working.
2. threads leaving the barrier continued to access memory within the
barrier object after other threads had successfully returned from
pthread_barrier_wait. this could lead to memory corruption or crashes
if the barrier object had automatic storage in one of the waiting
threads and went out of scope before all threads finished returning,
or if one thread unmapped the memory in which the barrier object
lived.
the new implementation avoids both problems by making the barrier
state essentially local to the first thread which enters the barrier
wait, and forces that thread to be the last to return.

the previous fix was incorrect, as it would prevent f->close(f) from
being called if fflush(f) failed. i believe this was the original
motivation for using | rather than ||. so now let's just use a second
statement to constrain the order of function calls, and to back to
using |.
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
pcc turned up this bug by calling f->close(f) before fflush(f),
resulting in lost output and error on flush.

with this patch, musl compiles and mostly works with pcc 1.0.0. a few
tests are still failing and i'm uncertain whether they are due to
portability problems in musl, or bugs in pcc, but i suspect the
latter.

the old versions worked, but conflicted with programs which declared
their own prototypes and generated warnings with some versions of gcc.

Smoothsort is an adaptive variant of heapsort. This version was
written by Valentin Ochs (apo) specifically for inclusion in musl. I
worked with him to get it working in O(1) memory usage even with giant
array element widths, and to optimize it heavily for size and speed.
It's still roughly 4 times as large as the old heap sort
implementation, but roughly 20 times faster given an almost-sorted
array of 1M elements (20 being the base-2 log of 1M), i.e. it really
does reduce O(n log n) to O(n) in the mostly-sorted case. It's still
somewhat slower than glibc's Introsort for random input, but now
considerably faster than glibc when the input is already sorted, or
mostly sorted.

1. failed match of literal chars from the format string would always
return matching failure rather than input failure at eof, leading to
infinite loops in some programs.
2. unread of eof would wrongly adjust the character counts reported by
%n, yielding an off-by-one error.

some functions that should have been testing whether pthread_self()
had been called and initialized the thread pointer were instead
testing whether pthread_create() had been called and actually made the
program "threaded". while it's unlikely any mismatch would occur in
real-world problems, this could have introduced subtle bugs. now, we
store the address of the main thread's thread descriptor in the libc
structure and use its presence as a flag that the thread register is
initialized. note that after fork, the calling thread (not necessarily
the original main thread) is the new main thread.

the linux documentation for dup2 says it can fail with EBUSY due to a
race condition with open and dup in the kernel. shield applications
(and the rest of libc) from this nonsense by looping until it succeeds

the check against MADV_DONTNEED to because linux MADV_DONTNEED

this also de-uglifies the dummy function aliasing a bit.

these functions are allowed to be cancellation points, but then we
would have to install cleanup handlers to avoid termination with locks
held.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
we already checked before making the syscall, but it's possible that a
signal handler interrupted the blocking syscall and disabled
cancellation, and that this is the cause of EINTR. in this case, the
old behavior was testably wrong.

like all other syscalls, close should return to the caller if and only
if it successfully performed its action. it is necessary that the
application be able to determine whether the close succeeded.

clean and simple, but fails when the caller does not have permissions
to open the file for reading or when /proc is not available. i may
replace this with a full implementation later, possibly leaving this
version as an optimization to use when it works.

if the exit was caused by cancellation, __cancel has already set these
flags anyway.
|
| |
|
|
|

cancellation frames were not correctly popped, so this usage would not
only loop, but also reuse discarded and invalid parts of the stack.

don't waste time (and significant code size due to function call
overhead!) setting errno when the result of a syscall does not matter
or when it can't fail.

x86_64 was just plain wrong in the cancel-flag-already-set path, and
crashing.
the more subtle error was not clearing the saved stack pointer before
returning to c code. this could result in the signal handler
misidentifying c code as the pre-syscall part of the asm, and acting
on cancellation at the wrong time, and thus resource leak race
conditions.
also, now __cancel (in the c code) is responsible for clearing the
saved sp in the already-cancelled branch. this means we have to use
call rather than jmp to ensure the stack pointer in the c will never
match what the asm saved.

the goal is to be able to use pthread_setcancelstate internally in
the implementation, whenever a function might want to use functions
which are cancellation points but avoid becoming a cancellation point
itself. i could have just used a separate internal function for
temporarily inhibiting cancellation, but the solution in this commit
is better because (1) it's one less implementation-specific detail in
functions that need to use it, and (2) application code can also get
the same benefit.
previously, pthread_setcancelstate dependend on pthread_self, which
would pull in unwanted thread setup overhead for non-threaded
programs. now, it temporarily stores the state in the global libc
struct if threads have not been initialized, and later moves it if
needed. this way we can instead use __pthread_self, which has no
dependencies and assumes that the thread register is already valid.
