2014-10-10add explicit barrier operation to internal atomic.h APIRich Felker1-1/+3
2014-08-25add working a_spin() atomic for non-x86 targetsRich Felker1-0/+1
conceptually, a_spin needs to be at least a compiler barrier, so the compiler will not optimize out loops (and the load on each iteration) while spinning. it should also be a memory barrier, or the spinning thread might keep spinning without noticing stores from other threads, thus delaying for longer than it should. ideally, an optimal a_spin implementation that avoids unnecessary cache/memory contention should be chosen for each arch, but for now, the easiest thing is to perform a useless a_cas on the calling thread's stack.
2014-07-27clean up unused and inconsistent atomics in arch dirsRich Felker1-5/+0
the a_cas_l, a_swap_l, a_swap_p, and a_store_l operations were probably used a long time ago when only i386 and x86_64 were supported. as other archs were added, support for them was inconsistent, and they are obviously not in use at present. having them around potentially confuses readers working on new ports, and the type-punning hacks and inconsistent use of types in their definitions is not a style I wish to perpetuate in the source tree, so removing them seems appropriate.
2014-02-27rename superh port to "sh" for consistencyRich Felker1-0/+87
linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh" was favored.
