linux guarantees ll/sc are always available. on mips1, they will be
emulated by the kernel. thus they are part of the linux mips1 abi and
safe to use.

yet another gratuitous mips incompatibility...
|
|
untested; hopefully it's right now
|
|
|
|
why does mips have to be gratuitously incompatible in every possible
imaginable way?
|
|

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.

also fix the alignment of jmp_buf to meet the abi. linux always
emulates fpu on mips if it's not present, so enabling this code
unconditionally is "safe" but may be slow. in the long term it may be
preferable to find a way to disable it on soft float builds.

sc was overwriting the result
|
|
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.
|
|
the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead
of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a
length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be
more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only
used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes
over unix sockets.
|
|
this fix is easier than trying to reorder the header stuff
|
|
signal handling was very broken because of this
|
|
like arm, mips requires 64-bit arguments to be "aligned" on an even
register boundary.
|
|
otherwise offs in ucontext_t will be wrong, and break code that
inspects or modifies the signal makes (including cancellation code).
|

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.
