2013-08-15add function types to arm crt assemblyRich Felker2-0/+3
without these, calls may be resolved incorrectly if the calling code has been compiled to thumb instead of arm. it's not clear to me at this point whether crt_arch.h is even working if crt1.c is built as thumb; this needs testing. but the _init and _fini issues were known to cause crashes in static-linked apps when libc was built as thumb, and this commit should fix that issue.
2013-07-26new mostly-C crt1 implementationRich Felker2-0/+17
the only immediate effect of this commit is enabling PIE support on some archs that did not previously have any Scrt1.s, since the existing asm files for crt1 override this C code. so some of the crt_arch.h files committed are only there for the sake of documenting what their archs "would do" if they used the new C-based crt1. the expectation is that new archs should use this new system rather than using heavy asm for crt1. aside from being easier and less error-prone, it also ensures that PIE support is available immediately (since Scrt1.o is generated from the same C source, using -fPIC) rather than having to be added as an afterthought in the porting process.
2013-07-21remove init/fini array asm from arm crti/crtn filesRich Felker2-44/+4
this code has been replaced by portable C code that works on all archs. the old asm needs to be removed or ctors/dtors will run twice.

2013-06-03align stack properly for calling global ctors/dtors on x86[_64]Rich Felker4-0/+8
failure to do so was causing crashes on x86_64 when ctors used SSE, which was first observed when ctors called variadic functions due to the SSE prologue code inserted into every variadic function.

2012-12-07add support for ctors/dtors on arm with modern gccRich Felker2-4/+40
a while back, gcc switched from using the old _init/_fini fragments method for calling ctors and dtors on arm to the __init_array and __fini_array method. unfortunately, on glibc this depends on ugly hacks involving making libc.so a linker script and pulling parts of libc into the main program binary. so I cheat a little bit, and just write asm to iterate over the init/fini arrays from the _init/_fini asm. the same approach could be used on any arch it's needed on, but for now arm is the only one.

2012-09-29microblaze portRich Felker3-0/+38
based on initial work by rdp, with heavy modifications. some features including threads are untested because qemu app-level emulation seems to be broken and I do not have a proper system image for testing.
2012-08-17crt1 must align stack pointer on mipsRich Felker1-0/+1
it's naturally aligned when entered with the kernel argv array, but if ld.so has been invoked explicitly to run a program, the stack will not be aligned due to having thrown away argv[0].
2012-08-05align mips _init/_fini functionsRich Felker1-0/+2
since .init and .fini are not .text, the toolchain does not seem to align them for code by default. this yields random breakage depending on the object sizes the linker is dealing with.
2012-07-11initial version of mips (o32) port, based on work by Richard Pennington (rdp)Rich Felker3-0/+53
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.
2012-06-25fix arm crti/crtn codeRich Felker2-0/+4
lr must be saved because init/fini-section code from the compiler clobbers it. this was not a problem when i tested without gcc's crtbegin/crtend files present, but with them, musl on arm fails to work (infinite loop in _init).
2012-05-02remove some junk from x86_64 start filesRich Felker2-4/+0
looks like nik copied these "extra arguments" from the i386 code. they're not actually arguments there, just 1-byte instructions to make sure the stack is aligned to 16 bytes after all the other arguments are pushed. since each push is 8 bytes on x86_64, they happened to have no effect here, but their presence is confusing and a minor waste of space.

2012-05-02remove attempts to be pie-compatible from i386 crt1.sRich Felker1-6/+3
it does not work; after further consideration, a separate Scrt1.s for pie really is essential. it would be nice if the unified approach worked, but the linker fails to generate the correct PLT entries and instead puts textrels in the main program, which don't work because the kernel maps the text read-only. new Scrt1.s will be committed soon in place of this.
2012-02-06add support for init/finit (constructors and destructors)Rich Felker9-7/+56
this is mainly in hopes of supporting c++ (not yet possible for other reasons) but will also help applications/libraries which use (and more often, abuse) the gcc __attribute__((__constructor__)) feature in "C" code. x86_64 and arm versions of the new startup asm are untested and may have minor problems.
2011-09-18initial commit of the arm portRich Felker1-0/+13
this port assumes eabi calling conventions, eabi linux syscall convention, and presence of the kernel helpers at 0xffff0f?0 needed for threads support. otherwise it makes very few assumptions, and the code should work even on armv4 without thumb support, as well as on systems with thumb interworking. the bits headers declare this a little endian system, but as far as i can tell the code should work equally well on big endian. some small details are probably broken; so far, testing has been limited to qemu/aboriginal linux.
