2014-01-08in fcntl, avoid passing pointer arguments to syscalls as longsRich Felker-3/+12
really, fcntl should be changed to use the correct type corresponding to cmd when calling va_arg, and to carry the correct type through until making the syscall. however, this greatly increases binary size and does not seem to offer any benefits except formal correctness, so I'm holding off on that change for now. the minimal changes made in this patch are in preparation for addition of the x32 port, where the syscall macros need to know whether their arguments are pointers or integers in order to properly pass them to the 64-bit kernel.

2013-03-26provide emulation of fcntl F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC on old kernelsRich Felker-0/+16
I'm not entirely happy with the amount of ugliness here, but since F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC is used elsewhere in code that's expected to work on old kernels (popen), it seems necessary. reportedly even some modern kernels went back and broke F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC (making it behave like plain F_DUPFD), so it might be necessary to add some additional fixup code later to deal with that issue too.
2012-06-20proper error handling for fcntl F_GETOWN on modern kernelsRich Felker-1/+9
on old kernels, there's no way to detect errors; we must assume negative syscall return values are pgrp ids. but if the F_GETOWN_EX fcntl works, we can get a reliable answer.
2012-05-31enable LARGEFILE64 aliasesRich Felker-2/+0
these will NOT be used when compiling with -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE on musl; instead, they exist in the hopes of eventually being able to run some glibc-linked apps with musl sitting in place of glibc. also remove the (apparently incorrect) fcntl alias.
2011-10-09fix F_GETOWN return value handlingRich Felker-0/+1
the fcntl syscall can return a negative value when the command is F_GETOWN, and this is not an error code but an actual value. thus we must special-case it and avoid calling __syscall_ret to set errno. this fix is better than the glibc fix (using F_GETOWN_EX) which only works on newer kernels and is more complex.
2011-04-17overhaul pthread cancellationRich Felker-5/+2
this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free. the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state. these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point. x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
