* math: sin cos cleanupSzabolcs Nagy2013-05-1810-112/+128
| | | | | | | | * use unsigned arithmetics * use unsigned to store arg reduction quotient (so n&3 is understood) * remove z=0.0 variables, use literal 0 * raise underflow and inexact exceptions properly when x is small * fix spurious underflow in tanl
* math: tan cleanupsSzabolcs Nagy2013-05-186-106/+80
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * use unsigned arithmetics on the representation * store arg reduction quotient in unsigned (so n%2 would work like n&1) * use different convention to pass the arg reduction bit to __tan (this argument used to be 1 for even and -1 for odd reduction which meant obscure bithacks, the new n&1 is cleaner) * raise inexact and underflow flags correctly for small x (tanl(x) may still raise spurious underflow for small but normal x) (this exception raising code increases codesize a bit, similar fixes are needed in many other places, it may worth investigating at some point if the inexact and underflow flags are worth raising correctly as this is not strictly required by the standard) * tanf manual reduction optimization is kept for now * tanl code path is cleaned up to follow similar logic to tan and tanf
* fix mknod and mknodat to accept large dev_t valuesRich Felker2013-05-162-5/+2
| | | | | | | | support for these was recently added to sysmacros.h. note that the syscall argument is a long, despite dev_t being 64-bit, so on 32-bit archs the high bits will be lost. it appears the high bits are just glibc silliness and not part of the kernel api, anyway, but it's nice that we have them there for future expansion if needed.
* math: use double_t for temporaries to avoid stores on i386Szabolcs Nagy2013-05-1521-28/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 (only i386 with x87 fp) the excess precision of an expression must be removed in an assignment. (gcc needs -fexcess-precision=standard or -std=c99 for this) This is done by extra load/store instructions which adds code bloat when lot of temporaries are used and it makes the result less precise in many cases. Using double_t and float_t avoids these issues on i386 and it makes no difference on other archs. For now only a few functions are modified where the excess precision is clearly beneficial (mostly polynomial evaluations with temporaries). object size differences on i386, gcc-4.8: old new __cosdf.o 123 95 __cos.o 199 169 __sindf.o 131 95 __sin.o 225 203 __tandf.o 207 151 __tan.o 605 499 erff.o 1470 1416 erf.o 1703 1649 j0f.o 1779 1745 j0.o 2308 2274 j1f.o 1602 1568 j1.o 2286 2252 tgamma.o 1431 1424 math/*.o 64164 63635
* 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.
* transition to using functions for internal signal blocking/restoringRich Felker2013-04-265-12/+57
| | | | | | | | | | there are several reasons for this change. one is getting rid of the repetition of the syscall signature all over the place. another is sharing the constant masks without costly GOT accesses in PIC. the main motivation, however, is accurately representing whether we want to block signals that might be handled by the application, or all signals.
* optimize/debloat raiseRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+2
| | | | | use __syscall rather than syscall when failure is not possible or not to be considered.
* prevent code from running under a thread id which already gave ESRCHRich Felker2013-04-261-1/+7
|
* synccall signal handler need not handle dead threads anymoreRich Felker2013-04-261-9/+0
| | | | | | they have already blocked signals before decrementing the thread count, so the code being removed is unreachable in the case where the thread is no longer counted.
* fix clobbering of signal mask when creating thread with sched attributesRich Felker2013-04-261-1/+1
| | | | this was simply a case of saving the state in the wrong place.
* make last thread's pthread_exit give exit(0) a consistent stateRich Felker2013-04-261-3/+13
| | | | | the previous few commits ended up leaving the thread count and signal mask wrong for atexit handlers and stdio cleanup.
* use atomic decrement rather than cas in pthread_exit thread countRich Felker2013-04-261-4/+1
| | | | | | now that blocking signals prevents any application code from running while the last thread is exiting, the cas logic is no longer needed to prevent decrementing below zero.
* add comments on some of the pthread_exit logicRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+15
|
* always block signals in pthread_exit before decrementing thread countRich Felker2013-04-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the thread count (1+libc.threads_minus_1) must always be greater than or equal to the number of threads which could have application code running, even in an async-signal-safe sense. there is at least one dangerous race condition if this invariant fails to hold: dlopen could allocate too little TLS for existing threads, and a signal handler running in the exiting thread could claim the allocated TLS for itself (via __tls_get_addr), leaving too little for the other threads it was allocated for and thereby causing out-of-bounds access. there may be other situations where it's dangerous for the thread count to be too low, particularly in the case where only one thread should be left, in which case locking may be omitted. however, all such code paths seem to arise from undefined behavior, since async-signal-unsafe functions are not permitted to be called from a signal handler that interrupts pthread_exit (which is itself async-signal-unsafe). this change may also simplify logic in __synccall and improve the chances of making __synccall async-signal-safe.
* remove explicit locking to prevent __synccall setuid during posix_spawnRich Felker2013-04-261-13/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for the duration of the vm-sharing clone used by posix_spawn, all signals are blocked in the parent process, including implementation-internal signals. since __synccall cannot do anything until successfully signaling all threads, the fact that signals are blocked automatically yields the necessary safety. aside from debloating and general simplification, part of the motivation for removing the explicit lock is to simplify the synchronization logic of __synccall in hopes that it can be made async-signal-safe, which is needed to make setuid and setgid, which depend on __synccall, conform to the standard. whether this will be possible remains to be seen.
* fix reversed argument order x86_64 sigsetjmp's call to sigprocmaskRich Felker2013-04-221-2/+2
| | | | | | this caused sigsetjmp not to save the signal mask but instead to clobber it with whatever happened to be in the sigjmb_buf prior to the call.
* comment potentially-confusing use of struct crypt_data typeRich Felker2013-04-202-1/+10
|
* make dynamic linker accept : or \n as path separatorRich Felker2013-04-201-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | this allows /etc/ld-musl-$(ARCH).path to contain one path per line, which is much more convenient for users than the :-delimited format, which was a source of repeated and unnecessary confusion. for simplicity, \n is also accepted in environment variables, though it should probably not be used there. at the same time, issues with overly long paths invoking UB or getting truncated have been fixed. such issues should not have arisen with the environment (which is size-limited) but could have been generated by a path file larger than 2**31 bytes in length.

* mbrtowc: do not leave mbstate_t in permanent-fail state after EILSEQRich Felker2013-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the standard is clear that the old behavior is conforming: "In this case, [EILSEQ] shall be stored in errno and the conversion state is undefined." however, the specification of mbrtowc has one peculiarity when the source argument is a null pointer: in this case, it's required to behave as mbrtowc(NULL, "", 1, ps). no motivation is provided for this requirement, but the natural one that comes to mind is that the intent is to reset the mbstate_t object. for stateful encodings, such behavior is actually specified: "If the corresponding wide character is the null wide character, the resulting state described shall be the initial conversion state." but in the case of UTF-8 where the mbstate_t object contains a partially-decoded character rather than a shift state, a subsequent '\0' byte indicates that the previous partial character is incomplete and thus an illegal sequence. naturally, applications using their own mbstate_t object should clear it themselves after an error, but the standard presently provides no way to clear the builtin mbstate_t object used when the ps argument is a null pointer. I suspect this issue may be addressed in the future by specifying that a null source argument resets the state, as this seems to have been the intent all along. for what it's worth, this change also slightly reduces code size.
* implement mbtowc directly, not as a wrapper for mbrtowcRich Felker2013-04-081-5/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | the interface contract for mbtowc admits a much faster implementation than mbrtowc can achieve; wrapping mbrtowc with an extra call frame only made the situation worse. since the regex implementation uses mbtowc already, this change should improve regex performance too. it may be possible to improve performance in other places internally by switching from mbrtowc to mbtowc.
* optimize mbrtowcRich Felker2013-04-081-3/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | this simple change, in my measurements, makes about a 7% performance improvement. at first glance this change would seem like a compiler-specific hack, since the modified code is not even used. however, I suspect the reason is that I'm eliminating a second path into the main body of the code, allowing the compiler more flexibility to optimize the normal (hot) path into the main body. so even if it weren't for the measurable (and quite notable) difference in performance, I think the change makes sense.
* fix out-of-bounds access in UTF-8 decodingRich Felker2013-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SA and SB are used as the lowest and highest valid starter bytes, but the value of SB was one-past the last valid starter. this caused access past the end of the state table when the illegal byte '\xf5' was encountered in a starter position. the error did not show up in full-character decoding tests, since the bogus state read from just past the table was unlikely to admit any continuation bytes as valid, but would have shown up had we tested feeding '\xf5' to the byte-at-a-time decoding in mbrtowc: it would cause the funtion to wrongly return -2 rather than -1. I may eventually go back and remove all references to SA and SB, replacing them with the values; this would make the code more transparent, I think. the original motivation for using macros was to allow misguided users of the code to redefine them for the purpose of enlarging the set of accepted sequences past the end of Unicode...
* fix signalfd not to ignore flagsRich Felker2013-04-071-1/+12
| | | | | | also include fallback code for broken kernels that don't support the flags. as usual, the fallback has a race condition that can leak file descriptors.
* silence nonsensical warnings in timer_createRich Felker2013-04-061-2/+2
|
* add support for program_invocation[_short]_nameRich Felker2013-04-062-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | this is a bit ugly, and the motivation for supporting it is questionable. however the main factors were: 1. it will be useful to have this for certain internal purposes anyway -- things like syslog. 2. applications can just save argv[0] in main, but it's hard to fix non-portable library code that's depending on being able to get the invocation name without the main application's help.
* fix argument omission in ABI-compat weak_alias for fscanfRich Felker2013-04-061-1/+1
|
* Add ABI compatability aliases.Isaac Dunham2013-04-0513-0/+38
| | | | | | | | GNU used several extensions that were incompatible with C99 and POSIX, so they used alternate names for the standard functions. The result is that we need these to run standards-conformant programs that were linked with glibc.

* implement dn_skipname (legacy resolver function)Rich Felker2013-04-041-0/+12
|
* add put*ent functions for passwd/group files and similar for shadowRich Felker2013-04-043-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | since shadow does not yet support enumeration (getspent), the corresponding FILE-based get and put versions are also subbed out for now. this is partly out of laziness and partly because it's not clear how they should work in the presence of TCB shadow files. the stubs should make it possible to compile some software that expects them to exist, but such software still may not work properly.
* cleanup wcstombsRich Felker2013-04-041-12/+1
| | | | | remove redundant headers and comments; this file is completely trivial now. also, avoid temp var.
* cleanup mbstowcs wrapperRich Felker2013-04-041-10/+0
| | | | | remove unneeded headers. this file is utterly trivial now and there's no sense in having a comment to state that it's in the public domain.
* minor optimization to mbstowcsRich Felker2013-04-041-2/+1
| | | | | | there is no need to zero-fill an mbstate_t object in the caller; mbsrtowcs will automatically treat a null pointer as the initial state.
* fix incorrect range checks in wcsrtombsRich Felker2013-04-041-3/+3
| | | | | | negative values of wchar_t need to be treated in the non-ASCII case so that they can properly generate EILSEQ rather than getting truncated to 8bit values and stored in the output.
* overhaul mbsrtowcsRich Felker2013-04-041-69/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | these changes fix at least two bugs: - misaligned access to the input as uint32_t for vectorized ASCII test - incorrect src pointer after stopping on EILSEQ in addition, the text of the standard makes it unclear whether the mbstate_t object is to be modified when the destination pointer is null; previously it was cleared either way; now, it's only cleared when the destination is non-null. this change may need revisiting, but it should not affect most applications, since calling mbsrtowcs with non-zero state can only happen when the head of the string was already processed with mbrtowc. finally, these changes shave about 20% size off the function and seem to improve performance by 1-5%.

* implement pthread_getattr_npRich Felker2013-03-313-2/+31
| | | | | | this function is mainly (purely?) for obtaining stack address information, but we also provide the detach state since it's easy to do anyway.
* remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIGRich Felker2013-03-2615-23/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* provide emulation of fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC on old kernelsRich Felker2013-03-261-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | I'm not entirely happy with the amount of ugliness here, but since F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is used elsewhere in code that's expected to work on old kernels (popen), it seems necessary. reportedly even some modern kernels went back and broke F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC (making it behave like plain F_DUPFD), so it might be necessary to add some additional fixup code later to deal with that issue too.
* in pipe2, use pipe() rather than __syscall(SYS_pipe, ...) for fallbackRich Felker2013-03-251-3/+3
| | | | | | | SYS_pipe is not usable directly in general, since mips has a very broken calling convention for the pipe syscall. instead, just call the function, so that the mips-specific ugliness is isolated in mips/pipe.s and not copied elsewhere.
