2012-10-15add support for TLS variant I, presently needed for arm and mipsRich Felker1-4/+8
despite documentation that makes it sound a lot different, the only ABI-constraint difference between TLS variants II and I seems to be that variant II stores the initial TLS segment immediately below the thread pointer (i.e. the thread pointer points to the end of it) and variant I stores the initial TLS segment above the thread pointer, requiring the thread descriptor to be stored below. the actual value stored in the thread pointer register also tends to have per-arch random offsets applied to it for silly micro-optimization purposes. with these changes applied, TLS should be basically working on all supported archs except microblaze. I'm still working on getting the necessary information and a working toolchain that can build TLS binaries for microblaze, but in theory, static-linked programs with TLS and dynamic-linked programs where only the main executable uses TLS should already work on microblaze. alignment constraints have not yet been heavily tested, so it's possible that this code does not always align TLS segments correctly on archs that need TLS variant I.
2012-09-07add clang-compatible thread-pointer code for mipsRich Felker1-0/+4
clang does not presently support the "v" constraint we want to use to get the result from $3, and trying to use register...__asm__("$3") to do the same invokes serious compiler bugs. so for now, i'm working around the issue with an extra temp register and putting $3 in the clobber list instead of using it as output. when the bugs in clang are fixed, this issue should be revisited to generate smaller/faster code like what gcc gets.
2012-07-12mipsel (little endian) supportRich Felker1-1/+1
the fields in the mcontext_t are long long (for no good reason) even on 32-bit mips, so the offset of the instruction pointer (as a word) varies depending on endianness.
2012-07-11initial version of mips (o32) port, based on work by Richard Pennington (rdp)Rich Felker1-0/+8
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction and pipe syscall interfaces on mips. at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
