2018-09-12apply hidden visibility to sigreturn code fragmentsRich Felker1-0/+2
these were overlooked in the declarations overhaul work because they are not properly declared, and the current framework even allows their declared types to vary by arch. at some point this should be cleaned up, but I'm not sure what the right way would be.
2015-04-18remove the last of possible-textrels from i386 asmRich Felker1-2/+3
none of these are actual textrels because of ld-time binding performed by -Bsymbolic-functions, but I'm changing them with the goal of making ld-time binding purely an optimization rather than relying on it for semantic purposes. in the case of memmove's call to memcpy, making it explicit that the memmove asm is assuming the forward-copying behavior of the memcpy asm is desirable anyway; in case memcpy is ever changed, the semantic mismatch would be apparent while editing memmcpy.s.
2015-04-17redesign sigsetjmp so that signal mask is restored after longjmpRich Felker1-8/+16
the conventional way to implement sigsetjmp is to save the signal mask then tail-call to setjmp; siglongjmp then restores the signal mask and calls longjmp. the problem with this approach is that a signal already pending, or arriving between unmasking of signals and restoration of the saved stack pointer, will have its signal handler run on the stack that was active before siglongjmp was called. this can lead to unbounded stack usage when siglongjmp is used to leave a signal handler. in the new design, sigsetjmp saves its own return address inside the extended part of the sigjmp_buf (outside the __jmp_buf part used by setjmp) then calls setjmp to save a jmp_buf inside its own execution. it then tail-calls to __sigsetjmp_tail, which uses the return value of setjmp to determine whether to save the current signal mask or restore a previously-saved mask. as an added bonus, this design makes it so that siglongjmp and longjmp are identical. this is useful because the __longjmp_chk function we need to add for ABI-compatibility assumes siglongjmp and longjmp are the same, but for different reasons -- it was designed assuming either can access a flag just past the __jmp_buf indicating whether the signal masked was saved, and act on that flag. however, early versions of musl did not have space past the __jmp_buf for the non-sigjmp_buf version of jmp_buf, so our setjmp cannot store such a flag without risking clobbering memory on (very) old binaries.
2014-04-02add __sigsetjmp ABI-compat alias for sigsetjmpRich Felker1-0/+3
2011-06-14restore use of .type in asm, but use modern @function (vs %function)Rich Felker2-0/+3
this seems to be necessary to make the linker accept the functions in a shared library (perhaps to generate PLT entries?) strictly speaking libc-internal asm should not need it. i might clean that up later.
2011-06-13remove all .size and .type directives for functions from the asmRich Felker1-5/+0
these are useless and have caused problems for users trying to build with non-gnu tools like tcc's assembler.
2011-02-13fix previous commit that broke sigreturn. looks like the asm is needed.Rich Felker1-0/+15
2011-02-12initial check-in, version 0.5.0v0.5.0Rich Felker1-0/+13
