all bits headers that were identical for a number of 'clean' archs are
moved to the new arch/generic tree. in addition, a few headers that
differed only cosmetically from the new generic version are removed.
additional deduplication may be possible in mman.h and in several
headers (limits.h, posix.h, stdint.h) that mostly depend on whether
the arch is 32- or 64-bit, but they are left alone for now because
greater gains are likely possible with more invasive changes to header
logic, which is beyond the scope of this commit.
this sets the stage for the first phase of the bits deduplication.
bits headers which are identical for "most" archs will be moved to
arch/generic/bits.
vdso support is available on mips starting with kernel 4.4, see kernel
commit a7f4df4e21 "MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday()
and clock_gettime()" for details.
In Linux kernel 4.4.0 the mips code returns -ENOSYS in case it can not
handle the vdso call and assumes the libc will call the original
syscall in this case. Handle this case in musl. Currently Linux kernel
4.4.0 handles the following types: CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
these changes are motivated by a functionally similar patch by Hauke
Mehrtens to address the needs of the new mips vdso clock_gettime,
which wrongly fails with ENOSYS rather than falling back to making a
syscall for clock ids it cannot handle from userspace. in the process
of preparing to handle that case, it was noticed that the old
clock_gettime use of the vdso was actually wrong with respect to error
handling -- the tail call to the vdso function failed to set errno and
instead returned an error code.
since tail calls to vdso are no longer possible and since the plain
syscall code is now needed as a fallback path anyway, it does not make
sense to use a function pointer to call the plain syscall code path.
instead, it's inlined at the end of the main clock_gettime function.
the new code also avoids the need to test for initialization of the
vdso function pointer by statically initializing it to a self-init
function, and eliminates redundant loads from the volatile pointer
object.
finally, the use of a_cas_p on an object of type other than void *,
which is not permitted aliasing, is replaced by using an object with
the correct type and casting the value.
si_errno and si_code are swapped in mips siginfo_t compared to other
archs and some si_code values are different. This fix is required
for POSIX timers to work.
based on patch by Dmitry Ivanov.
only have code above the bits/signal.h include that is necessary.
(some types are used for the ucontext struct and mips has to
override a few macro definitions)
this way mips bits/signal.h will be able to affect siginfo_t.

new in linux v4.3 commit 9dea5dc921b5f4045a18c63eb92e84dc274d17eb
direct calls instead of socketcall allow better seccomp filtering.
musl continues to use socketcalls internally on i386. (older kernels
would need a fallback mechanism if the direct calls were used.)
only use SYS_socketcall if SYSCALL_USE_SOCKETCALL is defined
internally, otherwise use direct syscalls.
this commit does not change the current behaviour, it is
preparation for adding direct syscall numbers for i386.
these were not covered by the parent-level rules with the new build
system. in the old build system, the equivalent files were often in
arch/$(ARCH)/src and likewise lacked the suppression. this could lead
to early crashing (before thread pointer init) when libc itself was
built with stack protector enabled.
now that .lo and .o files differ only by whether -fPIC is passed (and
no longer at the source level based on the SHARED macro), it's
possible to use the same object files for both static and shared libc
when the compiler would produce PIC for the static files anyway. this
happens if the user has included -fPIC in their CFLAGS or if the
compiler has been configured to produce PIE by default.
we use the .lo files for both, and still append -fPIC to the CFLAGS,
rather than using the .o files so that libc.so does not break
catastrophically if the user later removes -fPIC from CFLAGS in
config.mak or on the make command line. this also ensures that we get
full -fPIC in case -fpic, -fPIE, or some other lesser-PIC option was
passed in CFLAGS.
this eliminates the last need for the SHARED macro to control how
files in the src tree are compiled. the same code is used for both
libc.a and libc.so, with additional code for the dynamic linker (from
the new ldso tree) being added to libc.so but not libc.a. separate .o
and .lo object files still exist for the src tree, but the only
difference is that the .lo files are built as PIC.
in the future, if/when we add dlopen support for static-linked
programs, much of the code in dynlink.c may be moved back into the src
tree, but properly factored into separate source files. in that case,
the code in the ldso tree will be reduced to just the dynamic linker
entry point, self-relocation, and loading of libraries needed by the
main application.
the function name is still __-prefixed because it requires an asm
wrapper to pass the caller's address in order for RTLD_NEXT to work.
since this was the last function in dynlink.c still used for static
linking, now the whole file is conditional on SHARED being defined.
the ultimate goal of this change is to get all code used in libc.a out
of dynlink.c, so that the dynamic linker code can be moved to its own
tree and object files in the src tree can all be shared between libc.a
and libc.so.
contrary to commit 89e149d275a7699a4a5e4c98bab267648f64cbba, big
endian arm does need the instruction bytes in big endian order. rather
than trying to use a special encoding that works as arm or thumb,
simply encode the simplest/canonical undefined instructions dependent
on whether __thumb__ is defined.
the .byte directive encodes a guaranteed-undefined instruction, the
same one Linux fills the kuser helper page with when it's disabled.
the udf mnemonic and and .insn directives are not supported by old
binutils versions, and larger-than-byte integer directives would
produce the wrong output on big-endian.
IP_BIND_ADDRESS_NO_PORT is a SOL_IP socket option to delay src port

a_ll/a_sc inline asm used 64bit register operands (%0) instead of 32bit
ones (%w0), this at least broke a_and_64 (which always cleared the top
32bit, leaking memory in malloc).
aarch64 provides ll/sc variants with acquire/release memory order,
freeing us from the need to have full barriers both before and after
the ll/sc operation. previously they were not used because the a_cas
can fail without performing a_sc, in which case half of the barrier
would be omitted. instead, define a custom version of a_cas for
aarch64 which uses a_barrier explicitly when aborting the cas
operation. aside from cas, other operations built on top of ll/sc are
not affected since they never abort but rather loop until they
succeed.
a split ll/sc version of the pointer-sized a_cas_p is also introduced
using the same technique.
patch by Szabolcs Nagy.
commit f3ddd173806fd5c60b3f034528ca24542aecc5b9, the dynamic linker
bootstrap overhaul, silently disabled the definition of __fpscr_values
in this file since libc.so's copy of __fpscr_values now comes from
crt_arch.h, the same place the public definition in the main program's
crt1.o ultimately comes from. remove this file which is no longer in
use.
previously powerpc had a_cas defined in terms of its native ll/sc
style operations, but all other atomics were defined in terms of
a_cas. instead define a_ll and a_sc so the compiler can generate
optimized versions of all the atomic ops and perform better inlining
of a_cas.
extracting the result of the sc (stwcx.) instruction is rather awkward
because it's natively stored in a condition flag, which is not
representable in inline asm. but even with this limitation the new
code still seems significantly better.
this commit mostly makes consistent things like spacing, function
ordering in atomic_arch.h, argument names, use of volatile, etc.
a_ctz_l was also removed from x86_64 since atomic.h provides it
automatically using a_ctz_64.
this commit mostly makes consistent things like spacing, function
ordering in atomic_arch.h, argument names, use of volatile, etc. the
fake 64-bit and/or atomics are also removed because the shared
atomic.h does a better job of implementing them; it avoids making two
atomic memory accesses when only one 32-bit half needs to be touched.
no major overhaul is needed or possible because x86 actually has
native versions of all the usual atomic operations, rather than using
ll/sc or needing cas loops.
