    fix calloc when __simple_malloc implementation is used · ba819787
    Rich Felker 提交于
    previously, calloc's implementation encoded assumptions about the
    implementation of malloc, accessing a size_t word just prior to the
    allocated memory to determine if it was obtained by mmap to optimize
    out the zero-filling. when __simple_malloc is used (static linking a
    program with no realloc/free), it doesn't matter if the result of this
    check is wrong, since all allocations are zero-initialized anyway. but
    the access could be invalid if it crosses a page boundary or if the
    pointer is not sufficiently aligned, which can happen for very small
    allocations.
    
    this patch fixes the issue by moving the zero-fill logic into malloc.c
    with the full malloc, as a new function named __malloc0, which is
    provided by a weak alias to __simple_malloc (which always gives
    zero-filled memory) when the full malloc is not in use.
