2019-10-17remove use of endian.h from arch reloc.h headers, clean upRich Felker1-2/+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.
2016-04-03add support for mips and mips64 r6 isaRich Felker1-1/+7
mips32r6 and mips64r6 are actually new isas at both the asm source and opcode levels (pre-r6 code cannot run on r6) and thus need to be treated as a new subarch. the following changes are made, some of which yield code generation improvements for non-r6 targets too: - add subarch logic in configure script and reloc.h files for dynamic linker name. - suppress use of .set mips2 asm directives (used to allow mips2 atomic instructions on baseline mips1 builds; the kernel has to emulate them on mips1) except when actually needed. they cause wrong instruction encodings on r6, and pessimize inlining on at least some compilers. - only hard-code sync instruction encoding on mips1. - use "ZC" constraint instead of "m" constraint for llsc memory operands on r6, where the ll/sc instructions no longer accept full 16-bit offsets. - only hard-code rdhwr instruction encoding with .word on targets (pre-r2) where it may need trap-and-emulate by the kernel. otherwise, just use the instruction mnemonic, and allow an arbitrary destination register to be used.

2015-04-13dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker1-68/+10
this overhaul further reduces the amount of arch-specific code needed by the dynamic linker and removes a number of assumptions, including: - that symbolic function references inside libc are bound at link time via the linker option -Bsymbolic-functions. - that libc functions used by the dynamic linker do not require access to data symbols. - that static/internal function calls and data accesses can be made without performing any relocations, or that arch-specific startup code handled any such relocations needed. removing these assumptions paves the way for allowing libc.so itself to be built with stack protector (among other things), and is achieved by a three-stage bootstrap process: 1. relative relocations are processed with a flat function. 2. symbolic relocations are processed with no external calls/data. 3. main program and dependency libs are processed with a fully-functional libc/ldso. reduction in arch-specific code is achived through the following: - crt_arch.h, used for generating crt1.o, now provides the entry point for the dynamic linker too. - asm is no longer responsible for skipping the beginning of argv[] when ldso is invoked as a command. - the functionality previously provided by __reloc_self for heavily GOT-dependent RISC archs is now the arch-agnostic stage-1. - arch-specific relocation type codes are mapped directly as macros rather than via an inline translation function/switch statement.
2014-06-30fix regression in mips dynamic linkerRich Felker1-0/+1
this issue caused the address of functions in shared libraries to resolve to their PLT thunks in the main program rather than their correct addresses. it was observed causing crashes, though the mechanism of the crash was not thoroughly investigated. since the issue is very subtle, it calls for some explanation: on all well-behaved archs, GOT entries that belong to the PLT use a special relocation type, typically called JMP_SLOT, so that the dynamic linker can avoid having the jump destinations for the PLT resolve to PLT thunks themselves (they also provide a definition for the symbol, which must be used whenever the address of the function is taken so that all DSOs see the same address). however, the traditional mips PIC ABI lacked such a JMP_SLOT relocation type, presumably because, due to the way PIC works, the address of the PLT thunk was never needed and could always be ignored. prior to commit adf94c19666e687a728bbf398f9a88ea4ea19996, the mips version of reloc.h contained a hack that caused all symbol lookups to be treated like JMP_SLOT, inhibiting undefined symbols from ever being used to resolve symbolic relocations. this hack goes all the way back to commit babf820180368f00742ec65b2050a82380d7c542, when the mips dynamic linker was first made usable. during the recent refactoring to eliminate arch-specific relocation processing (commit adf94c19666e687a728bbf398f9a88ea4ea19996), this hack was overlooked and no equivalent functionality was provided in the new code. fixing the problem is not as simple as adding back an equivalent hack, since there is now also a "non-PIC ABI" that can be used for the main executable, which actually does use a PLT. the closest thing to official documentation I could find for this ABI is nonpic.txt, attached to Message-ID: 20080701202236.GA1534@caradoc.them.org, which can be found in the gcc mailing list archives and elsewhere. per this document, undefined symbols corresponding to PLT thunks have the STO_MIPS_PLT bit set in the symbol's st_other field. thus, I have added an arch-specific rule for mips, applied at the find_sym level rather than the relocation level, to reject undefined symbols with the STO_MIPS_PLT bit clear. the previous hack of treating all mips relocations as JMP_SLOT-like, rather than rejecting the unwanted symbols in find_sym, probably also caused dlsym to wrongly return PLT thunks in place of the correct address of a function under at least some conditions. this should now be fixed, at least for global-scope symbol lookups.
2014-06-18refactor to remove arch-specific relocation code from dynamic linkerRich Felker1-23/+9
this was one of the main instances of ugly code duplication: all archs use basically the same types of relocations, but roughly equivalent logic was duplicated for each arch to account for the different naming and numbering of relocation types and variation in whether REL or RELA records are used. as an added bonus, both REL and RELA are now supported on all archs, regardless of which is used by the standard toolchain.
2014-06-16dynamic linker: permit error returns from arch-specific reloc functionRich Felker1-1/+2
the immediate motivation is supporting TLSDESC relocations which require allocation and thus may fail (unless we pre-allocate), but this mechanism should also be used for throwing an error on unsupported or invalid relocation types, and perhaps in certain cases, for reporting when a relocation is not satisfiable.
2014-02-24mips: add mips-sf subarch support (soft-float)Szabolcs Nagy1-1/+7
Userspace emulated floating-point (gcc -msoft-float) is not compatible with the default mips abi (assumes an FPU or in kernel emulation of it). Soft vs hard float abi should not be mixed, __mips_soft_float is checked in musl's configure script and there is no runtime check. The -sf subarch does not save/restore floating-point registers in setjmp/longjmp and only provides dummy fenv implementation.
2013-09-15support configurable page size on mips, powerpc and microblazeSzabolcs Nagy1-1/+1
PAGE_SIZE was hardcoded to 4096, which is historically what most systems use, but on several archs it is a kernel config parameter, user space can only know it at execution time from the aux vector. PAGE_SIZE and PAGESIZE are not defined on archs where page size is a runtime parameter, applications should use sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) to query it. Internally libc code defines PAGE_SIZE to libc.page_size, which is set to aux[AT_PAGESZ] in __init_libc and early in __dynlink as well. (Note that libc.page_size can be accessed without GOT, ie. before relocations are done) Some fpathconf settings are hardcoded to 4096, these should be actually queried from the filesystem using statfs.
2013-07-18make the dynamic linker find its path file relative to its own locationRich Felker1-1/+8
prior to this change, using a non-default syslibdir was impractical on systems where the ordinary library paths contain musl-incompatible library files. the file containing search paths was always taken from /etc, which would either correspond to a system-wide musl installation, or fail to exist at all, resulting in searching of the default library path. the new search strategy is safe even for suid programs because the pathname used comes from the PT_INTERP header of the program being run, rather than any external input. as part of this change, I have also begun differentiating the names of arch variants that differ by endianness or floating point calling convention. the corresponding changes in the build system and and gcc wrapper script (to use an alternate dynamic linker name) for these configurations have not yet been made.
2012-10-15add support for TLS variant I, presently needed for arm and mipsRich Felker1-0/+11
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.
2012-10-04dynamic-linked TLS support for everything but dlopen'd libsRich Felker1-1/+5
currently, only i386 is tested. x86_64 and arm should probably work. the necessary relocation types for mips and microblaze have not been added because I don't understand how they're supposed to work, and I'm not even sure if it's defined yet on microblaze. I may be able to reverse engineer the requirements out of gcc/binutils output.
2012-08-05more stuff lost committing mips dynamic linkerRich Felker1-2/+2
2012-08-05mips dynamic linker supportRich Felker1-3/+53
not heavily tested, but the basics are working. the basic concept is that the dynamic linker entry point code invokes a pure-PIC (no global accesses) C function in reloc.h to perform the early GOT relocations needed to make the dynamic linker itself functional, then invokes __dynlink like on other archs. since mips uses some ugly arch-specific hacks to optimize relocating the GOT (rather than just using the normal DT_REL[A] tables like on other archs), the dynamic linker has been modified slightly to support calling arch-specific relocation code in reloc.h. most of the actual mips-specific behavior was developed by reading the output of readelf on libc.so and simple executable files. i could not find good reference information on which relocation types need to be supported or their semantics, so it's possible that some legitimate usage cases will not work yet.
2012-07-11initial version of mips (o32) port, based on work by Richard Pennington (rdp)Rich Felker1-0/+23
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.
