ever since inline syscalls were added for (o32) mips in commit 328810d32524e4928fec50b57e37e1bf330b2e40, the asm has nonsensically loaded the syscall number, rather than taking $2 as an input constraint to let the compiler load it. commit cfc09b1ecf0c6981494fd73dffe234416f66af10 improved on this somewhat by allowing a constant syscall number to propagate into an immediate, but missed that the whole operation made no sense. now, only $4, $5, $6, $8, and $9 are potential input-only registers. $2 is always input and output, and $7 is both when it's an argument, otherwise output-only. previously, $7 was treated as an input (with a "1" constraint matching its output position) even when it was not an input, which was arguably undefined behavior (asm input from indeterminate value). this is corrected.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
