linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there
was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker
was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own
name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both
directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh"
was favored.
per POSIX, ENOENT is reserved for invalid stream position; it is an
optional error and would only happen if the application performs
invalid seeks on the underlying file descriptor. however, linux's
getdents syscall also returns ENOENT if the directory was removed
between the time it was opened and the time of the read. we need to
catch this case and remap it to simple end-of-file condition (null
pointer return value like an error, but no change to errno). this
issue reportedly affects GNU make in certain corner cases.
rather than backing up and restoring errno, I've just changed the
syscall to be made in a way that doesn't affect errno (via an inline
syscall rather than a call to the __getdents function). the latter
still exists for the purpose of providing the public getdents alias
which sets errno.
Userspace emulated floating-point (gcc -msoft-float) is not compatible
with the default mips abi (assumes an FPU or in kernel emulation of it).
Soft vs hard float abi should not be mixed, __mips_soft_float is checked
in musl's configure script and there is no runtime check. The -sf subarch
does not save/restore floating-point registers in setjmp/longjmp and only
provides dummy fenv implementation.
the reordering of headers caused some risc archs to not see
the __syscall declaration anymore.
this caused build errors on mips with any compiler,
and on arm and microblaze with clang.
we now declare it locally just like the powerpc port does.
it's legal to call the __syscall functions with more arguments than
necessary, and the __syscall_cp cancel dummy impl. does just that.
thus we must insert the switch for all possible syscalls numbers
into all of the syscallN inline functions.
- the nanosleep fixup "fixed" the second timespec* argument erroneusly.
- the futex fixup was missing the check for FUTEX_WAIT.
- general cleanup using a macro.
x32 is the internal arch name, but glibc uses x86_64-x32.
there doesn't exist a specific triple for x32 in gcc and binutils.
you're supposed to build your compiler for x86_64 and configure
it with multilib support for "mx32".
however it turns out that using a triple of x86_64-x32 makes
gcc and binutils pick up the right arch (they detect it as x86_64)
and allows us to have a unique triple for cross-compiler toolchains.
some 32-on-64 archs require that the actual syscall args be long long.
in that case syscall_arch.h can define syscall_arg_t to whatever it needs
and syscall.h picks it up.
all other archs just use long as usual.
this allows syscall_arch.h to define the macro __scc if special
casting is needed, as is the case for x32, where the actual syscall
arguments are 64bit, but, in case of pointers, would get sign-extended
and thus become invalid.
the other atomic FD_CLOEXEC interfaces (dup3, pipe2, socket) already
had such emulation in place. the justification for doing the emulation
here is the same as for the other functions: it allows applications to
simply use accept4 rather than having to have their own fallback code
for ENOSYS/EINVAL (which one you get is arch-specific!) and there is
no reasonable way an application could benefit from knowing the
operation is emulated/non-atomic since there is no workaround at the
application level for non-atomicity (that is the whole reason these
interfaces were added).
this was unlikely to lead to any crash or dangerous behavior, but
caused adjacent string constants to be treated as part of the
protocols table, possibly returning nonsensical results for unknown
protocol names/numbers or when getprotoent was called in a loop to
enumerate all protocols.
gcc -Wsign-compare warns about expanded macros that were defined in
standard headers (before gcc 4.8) which can make builds fail that
use -Werror. changed macros: WIFSIGNALED, __CPU_op_S
The architecture-specific assembly versions of clone did not set errno on
failure, which is inconsistent with glibc. __clone still returns the error
via its return value, and clone is now a wrapper that sets errno as needed.
The public clone has also been moved to src/linux, as it's not directly
related to the pthreads API.
__clone is called by pthread_create, which does not report errors via
errno. Though not strictly necessary, it's nice to avoid clobbering errno
here.
the default fenv was not set up properly, in particular the
tag word that indicates the contents of the x87 registers was
set to 0 (used) instead of 0xffff (empty)
this could cause random crashes after setting the default fenv
because it corrupted the fpu stack and then any float computation
gives NaN result breaking the program logic (usually after a
float to integer conversion).
this saves a syscall in the case where the underlying open already
took place with O_APPEND, which is common because fopen with append
modes sets O_APPEND at the time of open before passing the file
descriptor to __fdopen.
when there is unflushed output, ftello (and ftell) compute the logical
stream position as the underlying file descriptor's offset plus an
adjustment for the amount of buffered data. however, this can give the
wrong result for append-mode streams where the unflushed writes should
adjust the logical position to be at the end of the file, as if a seek
to end-of-file takes place before the write.
the solution turns out to be a simple trick: when ftello (indirectly)
calls lseek to determine the current file offset, use SEEK_END instead
of SEEK_CUR if the stream is append-mode and there's unwritten
buffered data.
the ISO C rules regarding switching between reading and writing for a
stream opened in an update mode, along with the POSIX rules regarding
switching "active handles", conveniently leave undefined the
hypothetical usage cases where this fix might lead to observably
incorrect offsets.
the bug being fixed was discovered via the test case for glibc issue
the affected part of the header is responsible for providing both GNU
and BSD versions of the udphdr structure. previously, the
namespace-polluting GNU names were always used for the actual struct
members, and the BSD names, which are named in a manner resembling a
sane namespace, were always macros defined to expand to the GNU names.
now, unless _GNU_SOURCE is defined, the BSD names are used as the
actual structure members, and the macros and GNU names only come into
play when the application requests them.
there are two versions of this structure: the BSD version and the GNU
version. previously only the GNU version was supported. the only way
to support both simultaneously is with an anonymous union, which was a
nonstandard extension prior to C11, so some effort is made to avoid
breakage with compilers which do not support anonymous unions.
this commit is based on a patch by Timo Teräs, but with some changes.
in particular, the GNU version of the structure is not exposed unless
_GNU_SOURCE is defined; this both avoids namespace pollution and
dependency on anonymous unions in the default feature profile.
these are poorly designed (illogical argument order) and even poorly
implemented (brace issues) on glibc, but unfortunately some software
is using them. we could consider removing them again in the future at
some point if they're documented as deprecated, but for now the
simplest thing to do is just to provide them under _GNU_SOURCE.
some applications expect it to be defined, despite the standard making
it impossible for it to ever be returned as a value distinct from
NO_DATA. since these macros are outside the scope of the current
standards, no special effort is made to hide NO_ADDRESS under
conditions where the others are exposed.
STB_WEAK is only a weak reference for undefined symbols (those with a
section of SHN_UNDEF). otherwise, it's a weak definition. normally
this distinction would not matter, since a relocation referencing a
symbol that also provides a definition (not SHN_UNDEF) will always
succeed in finding the referenced symbol itself. however, in the case
of copy relocations, the referenced symbol itself is ignored in order
to search for another symbol to copy from, and thus it's possible that
no definition is found. in this case, if the symbol being resolved
happened to be a weak definition, it was misinterpreted as a weak
reference, suppressing the error path and causing a crash when the
copy relocation was performed with a null source pointer passed to
memcpy.
there are almost certainly still situations in which invalid
combinations of symbol and relocation types can cause the dynamic
linker to crash (this is pretty much inevitable), but the intent is
that crashes not be possible for symbol/relocation tables produced by
a valid linker.
setstate could use the results of previous initstate or setstate
calls (they return the old state buffer), but the documentation
requires that an initialized state buffer should be possible to
use in setstate immediately, which means that initstate should
save the generator parameters in it.
I also removed the copyright notice since it is present in the
copyright file.
install.sh was wrongly waiting until after atomically replacing the
old file to set the correct permissions on the new file. in the case
of the dynamic linker, this would cause a dynamic-linked chmod command
not to run (due to missing executable permissions on the dynamic
linker) and thus leave the system in an unusable state.
even if chmod is static-linked, the old behavior had a race window
where dynamic-linked programs could fail to run.
