For some reason, fabs lives in libc, not in libm, and our tests now
detect when fabs or fabsl is missing from libm. For those ports that
sometimes have long double and sometimes don't, make it conditional.
Still missing: fabs _and_ fabsl on ia64. Need help from an itanium
wizard! Other portmasters: Please take a look and see if I missed
any ports that might have long double where this alias will not work.
The original exect(2) from BSD4.2 was enabling bit for tracing
(single-step mode) and calling execve(2). The purpose of it was to generate
a signal for a tracer once the application will change its image to a new
program.
This approach no longer works as:
- exect(2) traces (single-steps) libc and it requires hundreds or
thousands steps before entering a new image
- it's vax and x86 specific code
- this functionality has been moved to the kernel - once a process is
traced it will generate SIGTRAP with si_code TRAP_EXEC and route it to
its debugger
- the side effects and unportability make this interface unusable
- there are no known users of this interface
- it apparently never worked better since day0 of NetBSD ("day0 bug")
Users are requested to move to other execve(2) variants. Calling current
execve(2) as it is the most similar behavior to this one from BSD4.2.
Discussed several times on mailing lists and in PR/51700.
Add warning to exect(3) telling about marking this function obsolete.
This function is prepared to be removed in next libc major bump.

This fixes a segmentation fault caused by bash 4.3 on sparc64
kernels with 32-bit userland, bash uses _setjmp/_longjmp heavyly
via sigsetjmp/siglongjmp since 4.3.
For 32-bit compat library which is compiled with -mcpu=ultrasparc
option (and define __sparc_v9__), use a similar code to 64-bit
library.
the TLS pointer, therefore wrecking the pthread environement.
Some ports had _UC_TLSBASE flag or equivalent (_UC_UNIQUE on alpha)
that controlled whether setcontext() would change the TLS pointer.
This change let libpthread override setcontext() with its own version
that unsets _UC_TLSBASE, enabling safe usage of setcontext() with
-lpthread.
We also have the following required changes here:
- rename alpha's _UC_UNIQUE into _UC_TLSBASE
- add _UC_TLSBASE definition in header file for all ports
(powerpc, sh3, sparc and sparc64 lack the implementation for now)
- introduce a libc stub that can be overriden for setcontext()
- modify MD libcs swapcontext() implementations so that they use the
setcontext() libc stub instead of doing a plain system call.
While we are there:
- document various MD _UC_* flags in header file
- add libc and libpthread tests for swapcontext() behavior
(hopefully helpful to spot MD problems introduced with this change)
Future work:
- Deciding whether kernel support or _UC_TLSBASE should be added for
powerpc, sh3, sparc and sparc64 is left to portmasters

on all platforms except VAX and IA64. Add fast access via register for
AMD64, i386 and SH3 ports. Use this fast access in libpthread to replace
the stack based pthread_self(). Implement skeleton support for Alpha,
HPPA, PowerPC, SPARC and SPARC64, but leave it disabled.
Ports that support this feature provide __HAVE____LWP_GETPRIVATE_FAST in
machine/types.h and a corresponding __lwp_getprivate_fast in
machine/mcontext.h.

The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.

Change the 'string' Makefiles so that the arch/*/string/Makefile.inc
need only specify the .S files for that architecture and not the .c
files for all the files they don't override.
large enough for GOT to be larger than 8k.
While here kill redundant PIC ifdefs in setjmp.S - sparc "call"
instruction is piccy by itself.
Tested by martin@
by Matthias Drochner to i386 and alpha:
-check for a NULL uc_link before calling setcontext(2); do a real exit(3)
instead with exit handlers and all that
-If setcontext(2) returns (which it shouldn't), do an _exit(-1) rather
than relying on a sensible return value to use as exit code. Makes
it less likely that an ucontext corruption goes unnoticed.
distinction between signalling NaNs and quiet NaNs back into the
machine-dependent headers; treat the implementation of __nanf in the
same spirit.
IEEE 754 leaves the distinction between signalling NaNs and quiet NANs
to the implementation, and unlike our headers used to suggest they're
not identical in the interpretation of the fraction's MSb; in due
course, make those of hppa, mips, sh3, and sh5 reflect reality.
