except powerpc, which still lacks inline syscalls simply because
nobody has written the code, these are all fallbacks used to work
around a clang bug that probably does not exist in versions of clang
that can compile musl. however, it's useful to have the generic
non-inline code anyway, as it eases the task of porting to new archs:
writing inline syscall code is now optional. this approach could also
help support compilers which don't understand inline asm or lack
support for the needed register constraints.
mips could not be unified because it has special fixup code for broken
layout of the kernel's struct stat.

calls to __aeabi_read_tp may be generated by the compiler to access
TLS on pre-v6 targets. previously, this function was hard-coded to
call the kuser helper, which would crash on kernels with kuser helper
removed.
to fix the problem most efficiently, the definition of __aeabi_read_tp
is moved so that it's an alias for the new __a_gettp. however, on v7+
targets, code to initialize the runtime choice of thread-pointer
loading code is not even compiled, meaning that defining
__aeabi_read_tp would have caused an immediate crash due to using the
default implementation of __a_gettp with a HCF instruction.
fortunately there is an elegant solution which reduces overall code
size: putting the native thread-pointer loading instruction in the
default code path for __a_gettp, so that separate default/native code
paths are not needed. this function should never be called before
__set_thread_area anyway, and if it is called early on pre-v6
hardware, the old behavior (crashing) is maintained.
ideally __aeabi_read_tp would not be called at all on v7+ targets
anyway -- in fact, prior to the overhaul, the same problem existed,
but it was never caught by users building for v7+ with kuser disabled.
however, it's possible for calls to __aeabi_read_tp to end up in a v7+
binary if some of the object files were built for pre-v7 targets, e.g.
in the case of static libraries that were built separately, so this
case needs to be handled.

previously, builds for pre-armv6 targets hard-coded use of the "kuser
helper" system for atomics and thread-pointer access, resulting in
binaries that fail to run (crash) on systems where this functionality
has been disabled (as a security/hardening measure) in the kernel.
additionally, builds for armv6 hard-coded an outdated/deprecated
memory barrier instruction which may require emulation (extremely
slow) on future models.
this overhaul replaces the behavior for all pre-armv7 builds (both of
the above cases) to perform runtime detection of the appropriate
mechanisms for barrier, atomic compare-and-swap, and thread pointer
access. detection is based on information provided by the kernel in
auxv: presence of the HWCAP_TLS bit for AT_HWCAP and the architecture
version encoded in AT_PLATFORM. direct use of the instructions is
preferred when possible, since probing for the existence of the kuser
helper page would be difficult and would incur runtime cost.
for builds targeting armv7 or later, the runtime detection code is not
compiled at all, and much more efficient versions of the non-cas
atomic operations are provided by using ldrex/strex directly rather
than wrapping cas.
|
|
this allows most code to assume it has already been saved, and is a
prerequisite for upcoming changes for arm atomic/tls operations.

Processing an option character with optional argument fails if the
option is last on the command line. This happens because the
if (optind >= argc) check runs first before testing for optional
argument.

The C standard is imperative on that:
7.28.1 ... If ps is a null pointer, each function uses its own internal
mbstate_t object instead, which is initialized at program startup to
the initial conversion state;
and these functions are also not supposed to implicitly use the state of
the wchar.h functions:
7.29.6.3 ... The implementation behaves as if no library function calls
these functions with a null pointer for ps.
Previously this resulted in two bugs.
- The functions c16rtomb and mbrtoc16 would crash when called with ps
set to null.
- The function mbrtoc32 used the private state of mbrtowc, which it
is not allowed to do.
|

in this case there are two conflicting rules in play: that an explicit
precision of zero with the value zero produces no output, and that the
'#' modifier for octal increases the precision sufficiently to yield a
leading zero. ISO C (7.19.6.1 paragraph 6 in C99+TC3) includes a
parenthetical remark to clarify that the precision-increasing behavior
takes precedence, but the corresponding text in POSIX off of which I
based the implementation is missing this remark.
this issue was covered in WG14 DR#151.

fnstsw does not wait for pending unmasked x87 floating-point exceptions
and it is the same as fstsw when all exceptions are masked which is the
only environment libc supports.
|
|
Some early x86_64 cpus (released before 2006) did not support sahf/lahf
instructions so they should be avoided (intel manual says they are only
supported if CPUID.80000001H:ECX.LAHF-SAHF[bit 0] = 1).
The workaround simplifies exp2l and expm1l because fucomip can be
used instead of the fucomp;fnstsw;sahf sequence copied from i386.
In fmodl and remainderl sahf is replaced by a simple bit test.

this was introduced in commit 2da3ab1382ca8e39eb1e4428103764a81fba73d3
as an oversight while making the variadic argument access conditional.

the idiomatic rounding of x is
n = x + toint - toint;
where toint is either 1/EPSILON (x is non-negative) or 1.5/EPSILON
(x may be negative and nearest rounding mode is assumed) and EPSILON is
according to the evaluation precision (the type of toint is not very
important, because single precision float can represent the 1/EPSILON of
ieee binary128).
in case of FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 this avoids a useless store to double or
float precision, and the long double code became cleaner with
1/LDBL_EPSILON instead of ifdefs for toint.
__rem_pio2f and __rem_pio2 functions slightly changed semantics:
on i386 a double-rounding is avoided so close to half-way cases may
get evaluated differently eg. as sin(pi/4-eps) instead of cos(pi/4+eps)
|
|
The old code used the rounding idiom incorrectly:
y = (double)(x + 0x1p52) - 0x1p52;
the cast is useless if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==0 and causes a second rounding
if FLT_EVAL_METHOD==2 which can give incorrect result in nearest rounding
mode, so the correct idiom is to add/sub a power-of-2 according to the
characteristics of double_t.
This did not cause actual bug because only i386 is affected where rint
is implemented in asm.
Other rounding functions use a similar idiom, but they give correct
results because they only rely on getting a neighboring integer result
and the rounding direction is fixed up separately independently of the
current rounding mode. However they should be fixed to use the idiom
correctly too.
|
|
the mode argument is only required to be present when the O_CREAT or
O_TMPFILE flag is used.

this change is a workaround for the inability of current compilers to
perform "shrink wrapping" optimizations. in casual testing, it roughly
doubled the performance of pthread_once when called on an
already-finished once control object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
these functions need to be fast when the init routine has already run,
since they may be called very often from code which depends on global
initialization having taken place. as such, a fast path bypassing
atomic cas on the once control object was used to avoid heavy memory
contention. however, on archs with weakly ordered memory, the fast
path failed to ensure that the caller actually observes the side
effects of the init routine.
preliminary performance testing showed that simply removing the fast
path was not practical; a performance drop of roughly 85x was observed
with 20 threads hammering the same once control on a 24-core machine.
so the new explicit barrier operation from atomic.h is used to retain
the fast path while ensuring memory visibility.
performance may be reduced on some archs where the barrier actually
makes a difference, but the previous behavior was unsafe and incorrect
on these archs. future improvements to the implementation of a_barrier
should reduce the impact.

previously, the hours were considered as a signed quantity while
minutes and seconds were always treated as positive offsets. however,
semantically the '-' sign should negate the whole hh:mm:ss offset.
this bug only affected timezones east of GMT with non-whole-hours
offsets, such as those used in India and Nepal.
|
|
previously the external definitions of these functions were omitted on
archs where long double is the same as double, since the code paths in
the math.h macros which would call them are unreachable. however, even
if they are unreachable, the definitions are still mandatory. omitting
them is invalid C, and in the case of a non-optimizing compiler, will
result in a link error.
|
|
per the text accepted for inclusion in POSIX, behavior is unspecified
when any of the access mode bits are set. since it's impossible to
consistently report this usage error (O_RDONLY could not be detected
since its value happens to be zero), the most consistent way to handle
them is just to ignore them.
previously, if a caller erroneously passed O_WRONLY, the resulting
access mode would be O_WRONLY|O_RDWR, which has the value 3, and this
resulted in a file descriptor which rejects both read and write
attempts when it is subsequently used.
|
|
this function is specified to leave the last byte with "unspecified
disposition" when the length is odd, so for the most part correct
programs should not be calling swab with odd lengths. however, doing
so is permitted, and should not write past the end of the destination
buffer.

patch by Jens Gustedt. this fixes a bug reported by Nadav Har'El. the
underlying issue was that a left-shift by 16 bits after promotion of
unsigned short to int caused integer overflow. while some compilers
define this overflow case as "shifting into the sign bit", doing so
doesn't help; the sign bit then gets extended through the upper bits
in subsequent arithmetic as unsigned long long. this patch imposes a
promotion to unsigned prior to the shift, so that the result is
well-defined and matches the specified behavior.

commit 5345c9b884e7c4e73eb2c8bb83b8d0df20f95afb added a linked list to
track the FILE streams currently locked (via flockfile) by a thread.
due to a failure to fully link newly added members, removal from the
list could leave behind references which could later result in writes
to already-freed memory and possibly other memory corruption.
implicit stdio locking was unaffected; the list is only used in
conjunction with explicit flockfile locking.
this bug was not present in any releases; it was introduced and fixed
during the same release cycle.
patch by Timo Teräs, who discovered and tracked down the bug.
|
|
This was not caught earlier because gcc incorrectly generates quiet
relational operators that never raise exceptions.
|
|
incorrect behavior occurred only in cases where the input overflows
unsigned long long, not just the (possibly lower) range limit for the
result type. in this case, processing of the '-' sign character was
not suppressed, and the function returned a value of 1 despite setting
errno to ERANGE.

The new code is a bit simpler and the generated code is about 1KB
smaller (on i386). The basic design was kept including internal
interfaces, TNFA generation was not touched.
The old tre parser had various issues:
[^aa-z]
negated overlapping ranges in a bracket expression were handled
incorrectly (eg [^aa-z] was handled as [^a] instead of [^a-z])
a{,2}
missing lower bound in a counted repetition should be an error,
but it was accepted with broken semantics: a{,2} was treated as
a{0,3}, the new parser rejects it
a{999,}
large min count was not rejected (a{5000,} failed with REG_ESPACE
due to reaching a stack limit), the new parser enforces the
RE_DUP_MAX limit
\xff
regcomp used to accept a pattern with illegal sequences in it
(treated them as empty expression so p\xffq matched pq) the new
parser rejects such patterns with REG_BADPAT or REG_ERANGE
[^b-fD-H] with REG_ICASE
old parser turned this into [^b-fB-F] because of the negated
overlapping range issue (see above), the new parser treats it
as [^b-hB-H], POSIX seems to require [^d-fD-F], but practical
implementations do case-folding first and negate the character
set later instead of the other way around. (Supporting the posix
way efficiently would require significant changes so it was left
as is, it is unclear if any application actually expects the
posix behaviour, this issue is raised on the austingroup tracker:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=872 ).
another case-insensitive matching issue is that unicode case
folding rules can group more than two characters together while
towupper and towlower can only work for a pair of upper and
lower case characters, this is a limitation of POSIX so it is
not fixed.
invalid bracket and brace expressions may return different error
codes now (REG_ERANGE instead of REG_EBRACK or REG_BADBR instead
of REG_EBRACE) otherwise the new parser should be compatible with
the old one.
regcomp should be able to handle arbitrary pattern input if the
pattern length is limited, the only exception is the use of large
repetition counts (eg. (a{255}){255}) which require exp amount
of memory and there is no easy workaround.
|

the previous commit was a no op in exp10l because LDBL_* macros
were implicitly 0 (the preprocessor does not warn about undefined
symbols).
|
|
__polevll, __p1evll and exp10l were provided on archs when long double
is the same as double. The first two were completely unused and exp10l
can be a wrapper around exp10.

based on patch by Jens Gustedt.
the main difficulty here is handling the difference between start
function signatures and thread return types for C11 threads versus
POSIX threads. pointers to void are assumed to be able to represent
faithfully all values of int. the function pointer for the thread
start function is cast to an incorrect type for passing through
pthread_create, but is cast back to its correct type before calling so
that the behavior of the call is well-defined.
changes to the existing threads implementation were kept minimal to
reduce the risk of regressions, and duplication of code that carries
implementation-specific assumptions was avoided for ease and safety of
future maintenance.
|
|
Because of the clear separation for private pthread_cond_t these
interfaces are quite simple and direct.
|
|
|
|
These all have POSIX equivalents, but aside from tss_get, they all
have minor changes to the signature or return value and thus need to
exist as separate functions.
|
|
The intent of this is to avoid name space pollution of the C threads
implementation.
This has two sides to it. First we have to provide symbols that wouldn't
pollute the name space for the C threads implementation. Second we have
to clean up some internal uses of POSIX functions such that they don't
implicitly drag in such symbols.
|
|
based on patch by Jens Gustedt for inclusion with C11 threads
implementation, but committed separately since it's independent of
threads.

versionsort64, aio*64 and lio*64 symbols were missing, they are
only needed for glibc ABI compatibility, on the source level
dirent.h and aio.h already redirect them.
|
|
|
|
this error resulted in an out-of-bounds read, as opposed to a reported
error, when calling the function with an argument one greater than the
max valid index.
|
|
if the loop stopped due to reaching the end of the string, the
subsequent increment could possibly move the position one past the end
of the buffer. no further writes happen, the reads cannot fault anyway
unless the stack completely lacks any zero bytes, and reading junk
should not yield an incorrect result from the function either.
nonetheless the code was wrong and needs to be fixed.
|
|
the condition was probably intended to be !*p rather than !p, but
neither is needed here. the subsequent code naturally handles the case
where it's already at end of string.

U+00DF ('ß') has had an uppercase form (U+1E9E) available since
Unicode 5.1, but Unicode lacks the case mappings for it due to
stability policy. when I added support for the new character in commit
1a63a9fc30e7a1f1239e3cedcb5041e5ec1c5351, I omitted the mapping in the
lowercase-to-uppercase direction. this choice was not based on any
actual information, only assumptions.
this commit adds bidirectional case mappings between U+00DF and
U+1E9E, and removes the special-case hack that allowed U+00DF to be
identified as lowecase despite lacking a mapping. aside from strong
evidence that this is the "right" behavior for real-world usage of
these characters, several factors informed this decision:
- the other "potentially correct" mapping, to "SS", is not
representable in the C case-mapping system anyway.
- leaving one letter in lowercase form when transforming a string to
uppercase is obviously wrong.
- having a character which is nominally lowercase but which is fixed
under case mapping violates reasonable invariants.
|
|
per POSIX these functions are both cancellation points, so they must
act on any cancellation request which is pending prior to the call.
previously, only the code path where actual waiting took place could
act on cancellation.
|
|
the outer getnameinfo function already has a properly-sized temporary
buffer for storing the reverse dns (ptr) result. there is no reason
for the callback to use a secondary buffer and copy it on success, and
doing so potentially expanded the impact of the dn_expand bug that was
fixed in commit 49d2c8c6bcf8c926e52c7f510033b6adc31355f5.
this change reduces the code size by a small amount, and also reduces
the run-time stack space requirements by about 256 bytes.
|
|
previously, fgets, fputs, fread, and fwrite completely omitted locking
and access to the FILE object when their arguments yielded a zero
length read or write operation independent of the FILE state. this
optimization was invalid; it wrongly skipped marking the stream as
byte-oriented (a C conformance bug) and exposed observably missing
synchronization (a POSIX conformance bug) where one of these functions
could wrongly complete despite another thread provably holding the
lock.
|
|
the C standard requires that "the contents of the array remain
unchanged" in this case.
this patch also changes the behavior on read errors, but in that case
"the array contents are indeterminate", so the application cannot
inspect them anyway.
|
|
Empty name was rejected in dn_expand since commit
56b57f37a46dab432247bf29d96fcb11fbd02a6d
which is a regression as reported by Natanael Copa.
Furthermore if an offset pointer in a compressed name
pointed to a terminating 0 byte (instead of a label)
the returned name was not null terminated.
|
|
this function is needed for some important practical applications of
ABI compatibility, and may be useful for supporting some non-portable
software at the source level too.
I was hesitant to add a function which imposes any constraints on
malloc internals; however, it turns out that any malloc implementation
which has realloc must already have an efficient way to determine the
size of existing allocations, so no additional constraint is imposed.
for now, some internal malloc definitions are duplicated in the new
source file. if/when malloc is refactored to put them in a shared
internal header file, these could be removed.
since malloc_usable_size is conventionally declared in malloc.h, the
empty stub version of this file was no longer suitable. it's updated
to provide the standard allocator functions, nonstandard ones (even if
stdlib.h would not expose them based on the feature test macros in
effect), and any malloc-extension functions provided (currently, only
malloc_usable_size).
|
|
if there is already a waiter for a lock, spinning on the lock is
essentially an attempt to steal it from whichever waiter would obtain
it via any priority rules in place, and is therefore undesirable. in
the current implementation, there is always an inherent race window at
unlock during which a newly-arriving thread may steal the lock from
the existing waiters, but we should aim to keep this window minimal
rather than enlarging it.
