the ABI for arm was silently changed at some point to allow page sizes
other than 4k; traditional binaries built with only 4k-aligned offsets
between load segments cannot run on such systems, but newer binutils
versions use 64k offset alignment.
while larger page size is undesirable for various reasons, users have
encountered hardware and/or kernels that lock the page size to a
larger value, so follow the new ABI and allow it to vary.

x32 has another gratuitous difference to all other archs:
it passes an array of 64bit values to __tls_get_addr().
usually it is an array of size_t.

when _GNU_SOURCE is defined, which is always the case when compiling
c++ with gcc, these macros for the the indices in gregset_t are
exposed and likely to clash with applications. by using enum constants
rather than macros defined with integer literals, we can make the
clash slightly less likely to break software. the macros are still
defined in case anything checks for them with #ifdef, but they're
defined to expand to themselves so that non-file-scope (e.g.
namespaced) identifiers by the same names still work.
for the sake of avoiding mistakes, the changes were generated with sed
via the command:
sed -i -e 's/#define *\(REG_[A-Z_0-9]\{1,\}\) *\([0-9]\{1,\}\)'\
'/enum { \1 = \2 };\n#define \1 \1/' \

three problems are addressed:
- use of pc arithmetic, which was difficult if not impossible to make
correct in thumb mode on all models, so that relative rather than
absolute pointers to the backends could be used. this was designed
back when there was no coherent model for the early stages of the
dynamic linker before relocations, and is no longer necessary.
- assumption that data (the relative pointers to the backends) can be
accessed at a constant displacement from the code. this will not be
possible on future fdpic subarchs (for cortex-m), so move
responsibility for loading the backend code address to the caller.
- hard-coded arm opcodes using the .word directive. instead, use the
.arch directive to work around the assembler's refusal to assemble
instructions not available (or in some cases, available but just
considered deprecated) in the target isa level. the obscure v6t2
arch is used for v6 code so as to (1) allow generation of thumb2
output if -mthumb is active, and (2) avoid warnings/errors for mcr
barriers that clang would produce if we just set arch to v7-a.
in addition, the __aeabi_read_tp function is moved out of the inner
workings and implemented as an asm wrapper around a C function, so
that asm code does not need to read global data. the asm wrapper
serves to satisfy the ABI calling convention requirements for this
function.

this has been slated for removal for a long time. there is
fundamentally no way to implement stdarg without compiler assistance;
any attempt to do so has serious undefined behavior; its working
depends not just (as a common misconception goes) on ABI, but also on
assumptions about compiler code generation internal to a translation
unit, which is not subject to external ABI constraints.

gdb can only backtrace/unwind across signal handlers if it recognizes
the sa_restorer trampoline. for x86_64, gdb first attempts to
determine the symbol name for the function in which the program
counter resides and match it against "__restore_rt". if no name can be
found (e.g. in the case of a stripped binary), the exact instruction
sequence is matched instead.
when matching the function name, however, gdb's unwind code wrongly
considers the interval [sym,sym+size] rather than [sym,sym+size).
thus, if __restore_rt begins immediately after another function, gdb
wrongly identifies pc as lying within the previous adjacent function.
this patch adds a nop before __restore_rt to preclude that
possibility. it also removes the symbol name __restore and replaces it
with a macro since the stability of whether gdb identifies the
function as __restore_rt or __restore is not clear.
for the no-symbols case, the instruction sequence is changed to use
%rax rather than %eax to match what gdb expects.
based on patch by Szabolcs Nagy, with extended description and
corresponding x32 changes added.

alpha and s390x gratuitously use 64-bit entries (wasting 2x space and
cache utilization) despite the values always being 32-bit.
based on patch by Bobby Bingham, with changes suggested by Alexander
Monakov to use the public Elf_Symndx type from link.h (and make it
properly variable by arch) rather than adding new internal
infrastructure for handling the type.

|
aarch64, arm, mips, mips64, mipsn32, powerpc, powerpc64 and sh have
cpu feature bits defined in linux for AT_HWCAP auxv entry, so expose
those in sys/auxv.h
it seems the mips hwcaps were never exposed to userspace neither
by linux nor by glibc, but that's most likely an oversight.
|

sh was updated in linux commit 74bdaa611fa69368fb4032ad437af073d31116bd
to have numbers for new syscalls.
|
|
the numbers were wrong in musl, but they were also wrong in the kernel
and got fixed in v4.8 commit 3ebfd81f7fb3e81a754e37283b7f38c62244641a
|
|
userfaultfd, membarrier and mlock2 syscalls got wired up in linux
commit fbce3befd60d40639bf3c6b60f7477b2f988f92d
|
|
despite sh not generally using register-pair alignment for 64-bit
syscall arguments, there are arch-specific versions of the syscall
entry points for pread and pwrite which include a dummy argument for
alignment before the 64-bit offset argument.
|
|
revert commit 8c316e9e49d37ad92c2e7493e16166a2afca419f. it was wrong
and does not match how the kernel API works.
|
|
It's identical to the generic version, after evaluating the endian
preprocessor checks in the generic version.
|
|
commit befa5866ee30d09c0c96e88af2eabff5911342ea performed this change
for struct definitions that did not also involve typedef, but omitted
the latter.
|
|
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.
|
|
with this change, all three files are identical.
|
|
it seems it was a typo.
|
|
these were incorrectly using the generic definitions.
|
|
same changes to the defined macros as in powerpc and generic bits.
|
|
same changes as in the generic header.
and BOTHER and IBSHIFT were removed (present in linux uapi but not
in glibc) and TIOCSER_TEMT was added (present in glibc).
|
|
add EXTA, EXTB, CIBAUD, CMSPAR, XCASE macros and hide them as well as
CBAUD, ECHOCTL, ECHOPRT, ECHOKE, FLUSHO, PENDIN in standard mode.
the new macros are both in glibc termios.h and in linux asm/termbits.h,
the later also contains IBSHIFT and BOTHER, those were not added.
these are not standard macros, but some of them are in the reserved
namespace so could be exposed, the ones which are not reserved are
CIBAUD, CMSPAR and XCASE (which was removed in issue 6), the rest
got hidden to be consistent with glibc.
|
|
arm ioctl.h is the same as the generic one except this macro,
so a workaround solution is used to avoid another ioctl.h copy.
|
|
musl does not define these on other targets either.
|
|
it seems it was a typo.
|
|
TIOCM_ macros were wrongly using the asm-generic/termios.h definitions
instead of the mips specific ones from asm/termios.h
|
|
mips and powerpc use their own asm/ioctls.h, not the asm-generic/ioctls.h
and they lack termiox macros that are available on other targets.
see kernel commit 1d65b4a088de407e99714fdc27862449db04fb5c
|
|
these are defined in linux asm/ioctls.h.
(powerpc64 and powerpc bits/ioctl.h are now identical)
|
|
glibc ioctl.h has it too.
|
|
TIOCTTYGSTRUCT, TIOCGHAYESESP, TIOCSHAYESESP and TIOCM_MODEM_BITS
were removed from the linux uapi and not present in glibc ioctl.h
|
|
they were slightly different in musl, but should be the same:
the linux uapi and glibc headers are not different.
|
|
the (unused) speed fields were omitted when these ports were first
added (within this release cycle, so not present in any release yet)
in accordance with how glibc defines the structure on mips archs.
however their omission does not match existing musl practice/intent.
glibc provides its own, mostly-unified termios structure definition
and performs translation in userspace to match the kernel structure
for the arch, but has gratuitous differences on a few archs like mips,
presumably as a result of historical mistakes. some other libcs use
the kernel definitions directly. musl essentially does that, by
matching the kernel layout in the part of the structure the kernel
will read/write, but leaves additional space at the end for
extensibility. these are nominally the (nonstandard) speed fields and
(on most archs) extra c_cc elements, but since they are not used they
could be repurposed if there's ever a need.

commit 6d38c9cf80f47623e5e48190046673bbd0dc410b provided an
arm-specific version of posix_fadvise to address the alternate
argument order the kernel expects on arm, but neglected to address
that powerpc (32-bit) has the same issue. instead of having arch
variant files in duplicate, simply put the alternate version in the
top-level file under the control of a macro defined in syscall_arch.h.
|
|
the syscalls take an additional flag argument, they were added in commit
f17d8b35452cab31a70d224964cd583fb2845449 and a RWF_HIPRI priority hint
flag was added to linux/fs.h in 97be7ebe53915af504fb491fb99f064c7cf3cb09.
the syscall is not allocated for microblaze and sh yet.
|

|
|
|
|
These system calls are already all remapped in an arch-agnostic manner in
src/internal/syscall.h

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.

commits e24984efd5c6ac5ea8e6cb6cd914fa8435d458bc and
16b55298dc4b6a54d287d7494e04542667ef8861 inadvertently disabled the
a_spin implementations for i386, x86_64, and x32 by defining a macro
named a_pause instead of a_spin. this should not have caused any
functional regression, but it inhibited cpu relaxation while spinning
for locks.
bug reported by George Kulakowski.
|
|
it was introduced for offloading copying between regular files
in linux commit 29732938a6289a15e907da234d6692a2ead71855
(microblaze and sh does not yet have the syscall number.)
|
|
add userfaultfd, membarrier and mlock2 system call numbers.
|
|
currently five targets use the same mman.h constants and the rest
share most constants too, so move them to sys/mman.h before the
bits/mman.h include where the differences can be corrected by
redefinition of the macros.
this fixes two minor bugs: POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED was wrong on most
targets (it should be the same as MADV_DONTNEED), and sh defined
the x86-only MAP_32BIT mmap flag.
|
|
these changes should not affect generated code, but they reflect that
the underlying objects operated on by a_cas_p are supposed to have
type volatile void *, not volatile long. in theory a compiler could
treat the effective type mismatch in the "m" memory operands as
undefined behavior.
