2011-05-01workaround for preprocessor bug in pccRich Felker1-7/+7
with this patch, musl compiles and mostly works with pcc 1.0.0. a few tests are still failing and i'm uncertain whether they are due to portability problems in musl, or bugs in pcc, but i suspect the latter.
2011-04-17overhaul pthread cancellationRich Felker1-0/+14
this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free. the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state. these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point. x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.
2011-03-20global cleanup to use the new syscall interfaceRich Felker1-22/+0
2011-03-19syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interfaceRich Felker1-0/+32
with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6 arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the casts are hidden in the macros. some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall() instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL have also been changed. x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any minor bugs/oversights.
2011-02-15move arch-specific internal headers into placeRich Felker1-500/+0
2011-02-13cleaning up syscalls in preparation for x86_64 portRich Felker1-9/+40
- hide all the legacy xxxxxx32 name cruft in syscall.h so the actual source files can be clean and uniform across all archs. - cleanup llseek/lseek and mmap2/mmap handling for 32/64 bit systems - alternate implementation for nice if the target lacks nice syscall
