2019-10-19internally, define time64 rusage syscalls on x32 as the existing onesRich Felker1-0/+2
this is analogous to commit 40aa18d55ab763e69ad16d0cf1cebea708ffde47. so far, there are not any actual time64 versions of the rusage syscalls (getrusage and wait4) and might never be. however, the existing x32 ones behave the way time64 versions would if they existed: using 64-bit slots in place of all longs. presently, wait4 and getrusage are broken on x32, storing the timevals correctly but messing up everything else due to the long/kernel-long mismatch. this would be a huge buffer overflow if not for the 16 reserved slots we left long ago, which suffice to prevent 14 double-sized longs from overflowing into unrelated memory. this commit will make it possible to fix them.
2019-10-19use struct pt_regs * rather than void * for powerpc[64] sigcontext regsRich Felker2-2/+2
this is to match the kernel and glibc interfaces. here, struct pt_regs is an incomplete type, but that's harmless, and if it's completed by inclusion of another header then members of the struct pointed to by the regs member can be accessed directly without going through a cast or intermediate pointer object.
2019-10-19fix fpregset_t type on powerpc64Rich Felker1-5/+1
the userspace ucontext API has this as an array rather than a structure. commit 3c59a868956636bc8adafb1b168d090897692532 fixed the corresponding mistake for vrregset_t, namely that the original powerpc64 port used a mix of types from 32-bit powerpc and powerpc64 rather than matching the 64-bit types.
2019-10-18fix return value of ungetc when argument is outside unsigned char rangeRich Felker1-1/+1
aside from the special value EOF, ungetc is specified to accept and convert values outside the range of unsigned char. conversion takes place automatically as part of assignment when storing into the buffer, but the return value is also required to be the resulting converted value, and this requirement was not satisfied. simplified from patch by Wang Jianjian.
2019-10-18fix incorrect use of fabs on long double operand in floatscan.cRich Felker1-4/+1
based on patch by Dan Gohman, who caught this via compiler warnings. analysis by Szabolcs Nagy determined that it's a bug, whereby errno can be set incorrectly for values where the coercion from long double to double causes rounding. it seems likely that floating point status flags may be set incorrectly as a result too. at the same time, clean up use of preprocessor concatenation involving LDBL_MANT_DIG, which spuriously depends on it being a single unadorned decimal integer literal, and instead use the equivalent formulation 2/LDBL_EPSILON. an equivalent change on the printf side was made in commit bff6095d915f3e41206e47ea2a570ecb937ef926.
2019-10-17move pthread types out of per-arch alltypes.hRich Felker17-128/+8
policy has long been that these definitions are purely a function of whether long/pointer is 32- or 64-bit, and that they are not allowed to vary per-arch. move the definition to the shared alltypes.h.in fragment, using integer constant expressions in terms of sizeof to vary the array dimensions appropriately. I'm not sure whether this is more or less ugly than using preprocessor conditionals and two sets of definitions here, but either way is a lot less ugly than repeating the same thing for every arch.
2019-10-17define LONG_MAX via arch alltypes.h, strip down bits/limits.hRich Felker34-117/+35
LLONG_MAX is uniform for all archs we support and plenty of header and code level logic assumes it is, so it does not make sense for limits.h bits mechanism to pretend it's variable. LONG_BIT can be defined in terms of LONG_MAX; there's no reason to put it in bits. by moving LONG_MAX definition to __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h and moving LLONG_MAX out of bits, there are now no plain-C limits that are defined in the bits header, so the bits header only needs to be included in the POSIX or extended profiles. this allows the feature test macro logic to be removed from the bits header, facilitating a long-term goal of getting such logic out of bits. having __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h will allow further generalization of headers. archs without a constant PAGESIZE no longer need bits/limits.h at all.
2019-10-17make endian.h expose unprefixed macros, functions in standard profileRich Felker1-16/+20
the resolution of Austin Group issue #162 adds endian.h as a standard header for future versions of the standard, making it no longer acceptable for some of the functionality to be hidden behind _BSD_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE. the definitions of the [lb]etoh{16,32,64} function-like macros are kept conditional since they are alternate names which the standard did not adopt.
2019-10-17remove use of endian.h from arch reloc.h headers, clean upRich Felker9-24/+0
building on commit 97d35a552ec5b6ddf7923dd2f9a8eb973526acea, __BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included. since reloc.h is only used from src/internal/dynlink.h, it can be assumed that __BYTE_ORDER is exposed. reloc.h is not permitted to be included in other contexts, and generally, like most arch headers, lacks inclusion guards that would allow such usage. the mips64 version mistakenly included such guards; they are removed for consistency.
2019-10-17remove indirect use of endian.h from public headersRich Felker12-18/+0
building on commit 97d35a552ec5b6ddf7923dd2f9a8eb973526acea, __BYTE_ORDER is now available wherever alltypes.h is included. endian.h should not be used since, in the future, it will expose identifiers that are not in the reserved namespace for the headers which were previously using it.
2019-10-17move __BYTE_ORDER definition to alltypes.hRich Felker34-69/+68
this change is motivated by the intersection of several factors. presently, despite being a nonstandard header, endian.h is exposing the unprefixed byte order macros and functions only if _BSD_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE is defined. this is to accommodate use of endian.h from other headers, including bits headers, which need to define structure layout in terms of endianness. with time64 switch-over, even more headers will need to do this. at the same time, the resolution of Austin Group issue 162 makes endian.h a standard header for POSIX-future, requiring that it expose the unprefixed macros and the functions even in standards-conforming profiles. changes to meet this new requirement would break existing internal usage of endian.h by causing it to violate namespace where it's used. instead, have the arch's alltypes.h define __BYTE_ORDER, either as a fixed constant or depending on the right arch-specific predefined macros for determining endianness. explicit literals 1234 and 4321 are used instead of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN so that there's no danger of getting the wrong result if a macro is undefined and implicitly evaluates to 0 at the preprocessor level. the powerpc (32-bit) bits/endian.h being removed had logic for varying endianness, but our powerpc arch has never supported that and has always been big-endian-only. this logic is not carried over to the new __BYTE_ORDER definition in alltypes.h.
2019-10-17remove per-arch definitions for va_listRich Felker17-48/+3
now that commit f7f1079796abc6f97c69521d2334e9c7d3945dd8 removed the legacy i386 conditional definition, va_list is in no way arch-specific, and has no reason to be in the future. move it to the shared part of alltypes.h.in
2019-10-17remove i386 support for legacy struct __va_listRich Felker1-5/+0
commit ffaaa6d230512f3a7f3d040b943517728f3dc3cf removed the corresponding stdarg.h support for compilers without va_list builtins, but failed to remove the alternate type definition, leaving incorrect va_list definitions in place with compilers that don't define __GNUC__ with a value >= 3.
2019-10-14mips: add single-instruction math functionsinfo@mobile-stream.com4-0/+64
SQRT.fmt exists on MIPS II+ (float), MIPS III+ (double). ABS.fmt exists on MIPS I+ but only cores with ABS2008 flag in FCSR implement the required behaviour.

2019-10-13math: fix signed int left shift ub in sqrtSzabolcs Nagy2-4/+2
Both sqrt and sqrtf shifted the signed exponent as signed int to adjust the bit representation of the result. There are signed right shifts too in the code but those are implementation defined and are expected to compile to arithmetic shift on supported compilers and targets.
2019-10-13fix aliasing-based undefined behavior in mbsrtowcsRich Felker1-2/+8
mbsrtowcs contains "vectorized" loops to quickly step over bytes without the high bit set; these have undefined behavior by virtue of aliasing uint32_t over top of char data for the accesses. commit 4d0a82170a25464c39522d7190b9fe302045ddb2 fixed the corresponding usage in string functions by using the may_alias attribute conditional on __GNUC__ and disabled the vectorized code in its absence. do the same for mbsrtowcs.

2019-10-02reintroduce riscv64 struct sigcontextRich Felker1-6/+10
commit ab3eb89a8b83353cdaab12ed017a67a7730f90e9 removed it as part of correcting the mcontext_t definition, but there is still code using struct sigcontext and expecting the member names present in it, most notably libgcc_eh. almost all such usage is incorrect, but bring back struct sigcontext at least for now so as not to introduce regressions.
2019-09-29fix riscv64 elf_fpregset_t type and member names mismatchRich Felker1-5/+2
in order for sys/procfs.h (provided by sys/user.h) to be useful, it needs to match the API its consumers (gdb, etc.) expect, including the member names established by glibc. this partly reverts commit 29e8737f81ccc9fbadcf61a75318aa3d0516aafa, which partly reverted d493206de7df4db07ad34f24701539ba0a6ed38c, eliminating struct user_fpregs_struct which seems to have had no precedent and using union __riscv_mc_fp_state for elf_fpregset_t. this requires indirect inclusion of signal.h to make union __riscv_mc_fp_state visible, but being that these are nonstandard "junk" headers with no official restrictions on what they can pull in, that's no big deal. split off and expanded from patch by Khem Raj.
2019-09-29fix riscv64 signal.h namespace violations and ucontext API mismatchesRich Felker2-27/+20
the top-level mcontext_t member names were namespace-violating in standards profiles before, and nested-level member names (some of them single-letter) were egregiously bad namespace impositions even in non-strict profiles. moreover, they mismatched those used in the public API first defined in glibc, breaking any code making use of them. unlike most archs, the public API used in glibc for riscv mcontext_t members was designed to be namespace-safe, so we can and should expose the members regardless of feature test macros. only the typedefs for greg_t, gregset_t, and fpregset_t need to be protected behind FTMs. the struct tags for mcontext_t and ucontext_t are also changed. for mcontext_t this is necessary to make the common definition across profiles namespace-safe. for ucontext_t, it's just a matter of matching the tag from the glibc-defined API. these changes are split off and expanded from a patch by Khem Raj.
2019-09-29remove remaining traces of __tls_get_newSzabolcs Nagy5-12/+1
Some declarations of __tls_get_new were left in the code, even though the definition got removed in commit 9d44b6460ab603487dab4d916342d9ba4467e6b9 install dynamic tls synchronously at dlopen, streamline access this can make the build fail with ld: lib/libc.so: hidden symbol `__tls_get_new' isn't defined when libc.so is linked without --gc-sections, because a .hidden declaration in asm code creates a reference even if the symbol is not actually used.
2019-09-27math: optimize lrint on 32bit targetsSzabolcs Nagy1-1/+27
lrint in (LONG_MAX, 1/DBL_EPSILON) and in (-1/DBL_EPSILON, LONG_MIN) is not trivial: rounding to int may be inexact, but the conversion to int may overflow and then the inexact flag must not be raised. (the overflow threshold is rounding mode dependent). this matters on 32bit targets (without single instruction lrint or rint), so the common case (when there is no overflow) is optimized by inlining the lrint logic, otherwise the old code is kept as a fallback. on my laptop an i486 lrint call is asm:10ns, old c:30ns, new c:21ns on a smaller arm core: old c:71ns, new c:34ns on a bigger arm core: old c:27ns, new c:19ns
2019-09-27clean up mips (32-bit, o32) syscall asm constraintsRich Felker1-31/+32
analogous to commit ddc7c4f936c7a90781072f10dbaa122007e939d0 for mips64 and n32, remove the hack to load the syscall number into $2 via asm, and use a constraint to let the compiler load it instead. now, only $4, $5, and $6 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. as before, $8, $9, and $10 are conditionally input-output registers for 5-, 6-, and 7-argument syscalls. their role in input is carrying in the values that will be stored on the stack for arguments 5-7. their role in output is carrying back whatever the kernel has clobbered them with, so that the compiler cannot assume they still contain the input values.
2019-09-27document mips r6 in INSTALL fileRich Felker1-1/+2
2019-09-26fix mips setjmp/longjmp fpu state on r6, related issuesRich Felker2-24/+12
mips32 has two fpu register file variants: FR=0 with 32 32-bit registers, where pairs of neighboring even/odd registers are used to represent doubles, and FR=1 with 32 64-bit registers, each of which can store a single or double. up through r5 (our "mips" arch), the supported ABI uses FR=0, but modern compilers generate "fpxx" model code that can safely operate with either model. r6, which is an incompatible but similar ISA, drops FR=0 and only provides the FR=1 model. as such, setjmp and longjmp, which depended on being able to save and restore call-saved doubles by storing and loading their 32-bit halves, were completely broken in the presence of floating point code on mips r6. to fix this, use the s.d and l.d mnemonics to store and load fpu registers. these expand to the existing swc1 and lwc1 instructions for pairs of 32-bit fpu registers on mips1, but on mips2 and later they translate directly to the 64-bit sdc1 and ldc1. with FR=0, sdc1 and ldc1 behave just like the pairs of swc1 and lwc1 instructions they replace, storing or loading the even/odd pair of fpu registers that can be treated as separate single-precision floats or as a unit representing a double. but with FR=1, they store/load individual 64-bit registers. this yields the ABI-correct behavior on mips r6, and should make linking of pre-r6 (plain "mips") code with "fp64" model code workable, although this is and will likely remain unsupported usage. in addition to the mips r6 problem this change fixes, reportedly clang's internal assembler refuses to assemble swc1 and lwc1 instructions for odd register indices when building for "fpxx" model (the default). this caused setjmp and longjmp not to build. by using the s.d and l.d forms, this problem is avoided too. as a bonus, code size is reduced everywhere but mips1.
2019-09-26fix mips r6 syscall clobber lists not to include hi/lo registersRich Felker3-16/+30
mips r6 (an incompatible isa from traditional mips) removes the hi and lo registers used for mul/div results. older gcc versions accepted them in the clobber list for asm, but their presence is incorrect and breaks on later versions. in the process of fixing this, the clobber list for 32-bit mips syscalls has been deduplicated via a macro like on mips64 and n32.
2019-09-26arm: fix setjmp and longjmp asm for armv8-aSzabolcs Nagy2-0/+14
armv8 removed the coprocessor instructions other than cp14, so on an armv8 system the related hwcaps should never be set. new llvm complains about the use of coprocessor instructions in armv8-a mode (even though they are never executed at runtime), so ifdef them out when musl is built for armv8.
2019-09-25fix data race in timer_create with SIGEV_THREAD notificationRich Felker1-2/+2
in the timer thread start function, self->timer_id was accessed without synchronization; the timer thread could fail to see the store from the calling thread, resulting in timer_delete failing to delete the correct kernel-level timer. this fix is based on a patch by changdiankang, but with the load moved to after receiving the timer_delete signal rather than just after the start barrier, so as not to retain the possibility of data race with timer_delete.
2019-09-25correct the operand specifiers in the riscv64 CAS routinesPalmer Dabbelt1-2/+2
The operand sepcifiers in a_cas and a_cas_p for riscv64 were incorrect: there's a backwards branch in the routine, so despite tmp being written at the end of the assembly fragment it cannot be allocated in one of the input registers because the input values may be needed for another trip around the loop. For code that follows the guaranteed forward progress requirements, the backwards branch is rarely taken: SiFive's hardware only fails a store conditional on execptional cases (ie, instruction cache misses inside the loop), and until recently a bug in QEMU allowed back-to-back store conditionals to succeed. The bug has been fixed in the latest QEMU release, but it turns out that the fix caused this latent bug in musl to manifest.
2019-09-13harden thread start with failed scheduling against broken __cloneRich Felker1-1/+1
commit 8a544ee3a2a75af278145b09531177cab4939b41 introduced a dependency of the failure path for explicit scheduling at thread creation on __clone's handling of the start function returning, which should result in SYS_exit. as noted in commit 05870abeaac0588fb9115cfd11f96880a0af2108, the arm version of __clone was broken in this case. in the past, the mips version was also broken; it was fixed in commit 8b2b61e0001281be0dcd3dedc899bf187172fecb. since this code path is pretty much entirely untested (previously only reachable in applications that call the public clone() and return from the start function) and consists of fragile per-arch asm, don't assume it works, at least not until it's been thoroughly tested. instead make the SYS_exit syscall from the start function's failure path.
2019-09-13fix %lf in wprintfBrion Vibber1-0/+2
commit cc3a4466605fe8dfc31f3b75779110ac93055bc1 fixed this for printf but neglected to fix wprintf. Previously, %lf caused a failure to output.
2019-09-11fix arm __tlsdesc_dynamic when built as thumb code without __ARM_ARCH>=5Rich Felker1-0/+4
we don't actually support building asm source files as thumb1, but it's possible that the condition __ARM_ARCH>=5 would be false on old compilers that did not define __ARM_ARCH at all. avoiding that would require enumerating all of the possible __ARM_ARCH_*__ macros for testing. as noted in commit 05870abeaac0588fb9115cfd11f96880a0af2108, mov lr,pc is not valid for saving a return address when in thumb mode. since this code is a hot path (dynamic TLS access), don't do the out-of-line bl->bx chaining to save the return value; instead, use the fact that this file is preprocessed asm to add the missing thumb bit with an add in place of the mov. the change here does not affect builds for ISA levels new enough to have a thread pointer read instruction, or for armv5 and later as long as the compiler properly defines __ARM_ARCH, or for any build as arm (not thumb) code. it's likely that it makes no difference whatsoever to any present-day practical build environments, but nonetheless now it's safe. as an alternative, we could just assume __thumb__ implies availability of blx since we don't support building asm source files as thumb1. I didn't do that in order to avoid having a wrong assumption here if that ever changes.
2019-09-11fix arm __a_barrier_oldkuser when built as thumbRich Felker1-2/+2
as noted in commit 05870abeaac0588fb9115cfd11f96880a0af2108, mov lr,pc is not a valid method for saving the return address in code that might be built as thumb. this one is unlikely to matter, since any ISA level that has thumb2 should also have native implementations of atomics that don't involve kuser_helper, and the affected code is only used on very old kernels to begin with.
2019-09-11fix code path where child function returns in arm __clone built as thumbRich Felker1-7/+3
mov lr,pc is not a valid way to save the return address in thumb mode since it omits the thumb bit. use a chain of bl and bx to emulate blx. this could be avoided by converting to a .S file with preprocessor conditions to use blx if available, but the time cost here is dominated by the syscall anyway. while making this change, also remove the remnants of support for pre-bx ISA levels. commit 9f290a49bf9ee247d540d3c83875288a7991699c removed the hack from the parent code paths, but left the unnecessary code in the child. keeping it would require rewriting two code paths rather than one, and is useless for reasons described in that commit.

2019-09-08honor __WCHAR_TYPE__ on archs with legacy long definition of wchar_tRich Felker4-0/+16
historically, a number of 32-bit archs used long rather than int for wchar_t, for no good reason. GCC still uses the historical types, but clang replaced them all with int, and it seems PCC uses int too. mismatching the compiler's type for wchar_t is not an option due to wide string literals. note that the mismatch does not affect C++ ABI since wchar_t is its own builtin type/keyword in C++, distinct from both int and long, not a typedef. i386 already worked around this by honoring __WCHAR_TYPE__ if defined by the compiler, and only using the official legacy ABI type if not. add the same to the other affected archs. it might make sense at some point to switch to using int as the default if __WCHAR_TYPE__ is not defined, if the expectations is that new compilers will treat int as the correct choice, but it's unlikely that the case where __WCHAR_TYPE__ is undefined will ever be used anyway. I actually wanted to move the definition of wchar_t to the top-level shared alltypes.h.in, using __WCHAR_TYPE__ and falling back to int if not defined, but that can't be done without assuming all compilers define __WCHAR_TYPE__ thanks to some pathological archs where the ABI has wchar_t as an unsigned type.
2019-09-06synchronously clean up pthread_create failure due to scheduling errorsRich Felker1-13/+18
previously, when pthread_create failed due to inability to set explicit scheduling according to the requested attributes, the nascent thread was detached and made responsible for its own cleanup via the standard pthread_exit code path. this left it consuming resources potentially well after pthread_create returned, in a way that the application could not see or mitigate, and unnecessarily exposed its existence to the rest of the implementation via the global thread list. instead, attempt explicit scheduling early and reuse the failure path for __clone failure if it fails. the nascent thread's exit futex is not needed for unlocking the thread list, since the thread calling pthread_create holds the thread list lock the whole time, so it can be repurposed to ensure the thread has finished exiting. no pthread_exit is needed, and freeing the stack, if needed, can happen just as it would if __clone failed.
2019-09-06set explicit scheduling for new thread from calling thread, not selfRich Felker1-21/+12
if setting scheduling properties succeeds, the new thread may end up with lower priority than the caller, and may be unable to continue running due to another intermediate-priority thread. this produces a priority inversion situation for the thread calling pthread_create, since it cannot return until the new thread reports success. originally, the parent was responsible for setting the new thread's priority; commits b8742f32602add243ee2ce74d804015463726899 and 40bae2d32fd6f3ffea437fa745ad38a1fe77b27e changed it as part of trimming down the pthread structure. since then, commit 04335d9260c076cf4d9264bd93dd3b06c237a639 partly reversed the changes, but did not switch responsibilities back. do that now.

commit 030e52639248ac8417a4934298caa78c21a228d1 added optreset, a BSD extension to getopt duplicating the functionality (also an extension) of setting optind to 0, but failed to provide a public declaration for it. according to the BSD documentation and headers, the application is not supposed to need to provide its own declaration.

these are presently extensions, thus named with _np to match glibc and other implementations that provide them; however they are likely to be standardized in the future without the _np suffix as a result of Austin Group issue 1208. if so, both names will be kept as aliases.

2019-08-19fix clash between sys/user.h and kernel ptrace.h on powerpc[64], shRich Felker3-41/+13
due to historical accident/sloppiness in glibc, the powerpc, powerpc64, and sh versions of struct user, defined by sys/user.h, used struct pt_regs from the kernel asm/ptrace.h for their regs member. this made it impossible to define the type in an API-compatible manner without either including asm/ptrace.h like glibc does (contrary to our policy of not depending on kernel headers), or clashing with asm/ptrace.h's definition of struct pt_regs if both headers are included (which is almost always the case in software using sys/user.h). for a long time I viewed this problem as having no reasonable fix. I even explored the possibility of having the powerpc[64] and sh versions of user.h just include the kernel header (breaking with policy), but that looked like it might introduce new clashes with sys/ptrace.h. and it would also bring in a lot of additional cruft that makes no sense for sys/user.h to expose. glibc goes out of its way to suppress some of that with #undef, possibly leading to different problems. this is a rabbit-hole that should be explored no further. as it turns out, however, nothing actually uses struct user sufficiently to care about the type of the regs member; most software including sys/user.h does not even use struct user at all. so, the problem can be fixed just by doing away with the insistence on strict glibc API compatibility for the struct tag of the regs member. rather than renaming the tag, which might lead to the new name entering use as API, simply use an untagged structure inside struct user with the same members/layout as struct pt_regs. for sh, struct pt_dspregs is just removed entirely since it was not used.
