128 is the size in bytes, not longs.

also fix the alignment of jmp_buf to meet the abi. linux always
emulates fpu on mips if it's not present, so enabling this code
unconditionally is "safe" but may be slow. in the long term it may be
preferable to find a way to disable it on soft float builds.

untested but should be correct..

not sure this is the best fix but it should work

use the main program's PT_INTERP header if possible, since this is
sure to be a correct (and hopefully absolute) pathname.

sc was overwriting the result

the fields in the mcontext_t are long long (for no good reason) even
on 32-bit mips, so the offset of the instruction pointer (as a word)
varies depending on endianness.

the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead
of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a
length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be
more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only
used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes
over unix sockets.

this fix is easier than trying to reorder the header stuff

signal handling was very broken because of this

like arm, mips requires 64-bit arguments to be "aligned" on an even
register boundary.

these could have caused memory corruption due to invalid accesses to
the next field. all should be fixed now; I found the errors with fgrep
-r '__lock(&', which is bogus since the argument should be an array.

it had not been updated for the futex-based locks

otherwise offs in ucontext_t will be wrong, and break code that
inspects or modifies the signal makes (including cancellation code).

after the thread unmaps its own stack/thread structure, the kernel,
performing child tid clear and futex wake, could clobber a new mapping
made at the same location as the just-removed thread's tid field.
disable kernel clearing of child tid to prevent this.

the mips abi reserves stack space equal to the size of the in-register
args for the callee to save the args, if desired. this would cause the
beginning of the thread structure to be clobbered...

the old code worked in qemu app-level emulation, but not on real
kernels where the clone syscall does not copy the register values to
the new thread. save arguments on the new thread stack instead.

with this change, threads on mips seem to be working

on other archs, like x86[_64], asm version is required

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.

the type doesn't actually matter, just the size, but it's nice to be
consistent...

this file can be overridden by a same-named file in an arch dir.

if libc.a is compiled PIC for use in static PIE code, this should not
cause the dynamic linker (which still does not support static-linked
main program) to be built into libc.a.

most importantly, the name for such libs was being set from an
uninitialized buffer. also, shortname always had an initial '/'
character, making it useless for looking up already-loaded libraries
by name, and thus causing repeated searches through the library path.

major changes now:

- shortname is the base name for library lookups with no explicit
  pathname. it's initially clear for libraries loaded with an explicit
  pathname (and for the main program), but will be set if the same
  library (detected via inodes match) is later found by a search.

- exact name match is never used to identify libraries loaded with an
  explicit pathname. in this case, there's no explicit search, so we
  can just stat the file and check for inode match.

apparently somebody wants this for something... and it doesn't hurt.
