libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.

not all prefixed symbols can be made hidden. some are part of
ABI-compat (e.g. __nl_langinfo_l) and others are ABI as a consequence
of the way copy relocations for weak aliases work in ELF shared
libraries. most, however, can be made hidden.
with this commit, there should be no remaining unintentionally visible
symbols exported from libc.so.

|
this was added so that posix_spawn and possibly other functionality
could be implemented in terms of vfork, but that turned out to be
unsafe. any such usage needs __clone with proper handling of stack
lifetime.
|
|
|
|
this is perhaps not the ideal place, but no better alternatives stand
out.

the direct syscall or various thin and mostly-inline wrappers around
it are used instead internally. at some point a public futex function
should be added, but it's not yet clear what the signature should be,
and in the mean time this file is not useful.
|
|
this is a special case that does not need a declaration, because it's
not even a libc-internal interface between translation units. instead
it's a poor hack around compilers' inability to shrink-wrap critical
code paths. after vis.h was disabled, it became more of a
pessimization on many archs due to the extra layer of machinery to
support a call through the PLT, but now it should be efficient again.

the __-prefixed filename does not make sense when the only purpose of
this file is implementing a public function that's not used as a
backend for implementing the standard dirent functions.
|

these were overlooked for various reasons in earlier stages.
|
|
|
|
these were overlooked in the declarations overhaul work because they
are not properly declared, and the current framework even allows their
declared types to vary by arch. at some point this should be cleaned
up, but I'm not sure what the right way would be.

this makes significant differences to codegen on archs with an
expensive PLT-calling ABI; on i386 and gcc 7.3 for example, the sin
and sinf functions no longer touch call-saved registers or the stack
except for pushing outgoing arguments. performance is likely improved
too, but no measurements were taken.

commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of
libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers,
allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their
visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly
namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which
exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX
functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that
are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are
"internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc.
rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these
functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to
every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of
wrapping the corresponding public headers.
parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have
wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include
path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add
declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces
and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they
correspond to.
along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for
the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means
source files will no longer need to include any special headers to
access these features.
over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally
public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to
include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually
implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.

it's not ideal, but the function is essentially an extended stdio
function specialized to getopt's needs. the only reason it exists is
avoiding pulling printf code into every program using getopt.
|
|
the public flockfile interface is significantly heavier because it has
to handle the possibility of caller returning or thread exiting while
holding the lock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
the malloc-implementation-private header is the only right place for
this, because, being in the reserved namespace, __memalign is not
interposable and thus not valid to use anywhere else. anything outside
of the malloc implementation must call an appropriate-namespace public
function (aligned_alloc or posix_memalign).

previously, a common __posix_spawnx backend was used that accepted an
additional argument for the execve variant to call in the child. this
moderately bloated up the posix_spawn function, shuffling arguments
between stack and/or registers to call a 7-argument function from a
6-argument one.
instead, tuck the exec function pointer in an unused part of the
(large) pthread_spawnattr_t structure, and have posix_spawnp duplicate
the attributes and fill in a pointer to __execvpe. the net code size
change is minimal, but the weight is shifted to the "heavier" function
which already pulls in more dependencies.
as a bonus, we get rid of an external symbol (__posix_spawnx) that had
no really good place for a declaration because it shouldn't have
existed to begin with.

these are not public interfaces and do not match the public function,
but delegate argument checking to it.
|
|
this is not a public interface, and does not even necessarily match
the syscall on all archs that have a syscall by that name.
on archs where it's implemented in C, no action on the source file is
needed; the hidden declaration in pthread_arch.h suffices.
|
|
these are not a public interface and are not intended to be callable
from anywhere but the public clone function or other places in libc.
|
|
|
|
locale_impl.h could have been used, but this function is completely
independent of anything else, and preserving that property seems nice.
|
|
this functions is glue for linking dependency logic.
|
|
|
|
it's already included in all places where these are needed, and aside
from __tls_get_addr, they're all implementation internals.
|
|
|
|
this is a helper function from strftime that's also used by wcsftime.
|
|
this function was added later for strftime use and the existence of
time_impl.h as the appropriate place for it seems to have been
overlooked.
|
|
|
|
unlike the other res/dn functions, this one is tied to struct
resolvconf which is not a public interface, so put it in the private
header for its subsystem.
|
|
obviously the type "should be" const, but it inherited non-const from
the standard nl_langinfo_l.
|
|
despite looking like undefined behavior, the affected code is correct
both before and after this patch. the pairs mtx_t and pthread_mutex_t,
and cnd_t and pthread_cond_t, are not mutually compatible within a
single translation unit (because they are distinct untagged aggregate
instances), but they are compatible with an object of either type from
another translation unit (6.2.7 ΒΆ1), and therefore a given translation
unit can choose which one it wants to use.
in the interest of being able to move declarations out of source files
to headers that facilitate checking, use the pthread type names in
declaring the namespace-safe versions of the pthread functions and
cast the argument pointer types when calling them.
|
|
the source file for this function is completely standalone, but it
doesn't seem worth adding a header just for it, so declare it in
lookup.h for now.
|
|
|
|
without this, it's plausible that assembler or linker could complain
about an unsatisfiable relocation.
