      consistently use the internal name __environ for environ · 23ccb80f
      Rich Felker 提交于
      patch by Jens Gustedt.
      previously, the intended policy was to use __environ in code that must
      conform to the ISO C namespace requirements, and environ elsewhere.
      this policy was not followed in practice anyway, making things
      confusing. on top of that, Jens reported that certain combinations of
      link-time optimization options were breaking with the inconsistent
      references; this seems to be a compiler or linker bug, but having it
      go away is a nice side effect of the changes made here.

      improve error strings · d75348dd
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this definitely has the potential to be a bikeshed topic, so some
      justification is in order. most of the changes made fit into one of
      the following categories:
      1. alignment with text in posix, xsh 2.3
      2. eliminating overly-specific text for shared error codes
      3. making the message match more closely with the macro name
      4. removing extraneous words
      
      in particular, the EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK text is updated to match the
      description of EAGAIN (which covers both uses) rather than saying the
      operation would block, and ENOTSUP/EOPNOTSUPP is updated not to
      mention sockets.
      
      the distinction between ENFILE/EMFILE has also been clarified; ENFILE
      is aligned with the posix text, and EMFILE, which lacks concise posix
      text matching any historic message, is updated to emphasize that the
      exhausted resource is not open files/open file descriptions, but
      rather the integer 'address space' of file descriptors.
      
      some messages may be further tweaked based on feedback.

      arm: add __aeabi_atexit() · 52690048
      rofl0r 提交于
      arm eabi requires this symbol for static C++ dtors.
      usually it is provided by libstdc++, but when a C++ program
      doesn't use the std lib (free-standing), the libc has to provide
      it.
      this was encountered while building transmission, which
      depends on such a C++ library (libutp).
      
      this function is nearly identical to __cxa_atexit, but it has the
      order of argumens swapped for "performance reasons".
      see page 25 of
      
       http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ihi0043d/IHI0043D_rtabi.pdf
      
      there are other aeabi specific C++ support functions missing, but
      it is not clear yet that GCC makes use of them so we omit them for
      the moment.

      read should never return anything but 0 or sizeof ec here, but if it
      does, we want to treat any other return as "success". then the caller

      overhaul posix_spawn to use CLONE_VM instead of vfork · fb6b159d
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the proposed change was described in detail in detail previously on
      the mailing list. in short, vfork is unsafe because:
      
      1. the compiler could make optimizations that cause the child to
      clobber the parent's local vars.
      
      2. strace is buggy and allows the vforking parent to run before the
      child execs when run under strace.
      
      the new design uses a close-on-exec pipe instead of vfork semantics to
      synchronize the parent and child so that the parent does not return
      before the child has finished using its arguments (and now, also its
      stack). this also allows reporting exec failures to the caller instead
      of giving the caller a child that mysteriously exits with status 127
      on exec error.
      
      basic testing has been performed on both the success and failure code
      paths. further testing should be done.

      dynamically allocate storage for gethostby* buffers · a47ad3eb
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this change shaves ~1k off libc.so bss size, and also avoids hard
      errors in the case where the static buffer was not large enough to
      hold the result.
      
      this whole framework is really ugly and might should be replaced or at
      least heavily overhauled when some changes/factorizations are made to
      getaddrinfo internals in the future.

      if pthread_create fails, it must not attempt mmap if there is no mapping · 077549e0

      pthread stack treatment overhaul for application-provided stacks, etc. · d5142642
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the main goal of these changes is to address the case where an
      application provides a stack of size N, but TLS has size M that's a
      significant portion of the size N (or even larger than N), thus giving
      the application less stack space than it expected or no stack at all!
      
      the new strategy pthread_create now uses is to only put TLS on the
      application-provided stack if TLS is smaller than 1/8 of the stack
      size or 2k, whichever is smaller. this ensures that the application
      always has "close enough" to what it requested, and the threshold is
      chosen heuristically to make sure "sane" amounts of TLS still end up
      in the application-provided stack.
      
      if TLS does not fit the above criteria, pthread_create uses mmap to
      obtain space for TLS, but still uses the application-provided stack
      for actual call frame stack. this is to avoid wasting memory, and for
      the sake of supporting ugly hacks like garbage collection based on
      assumptions that the implementation will use the provided stack range.
      
      in order for the above heuristics to ever succeed, the amount of TLS
      space wasted on POSIX TSD (pthread_key_create based) needed to be
      reduced. otherwise, these changes would preclude any use of
      pthread_create without mmap, which would have serious memory usage and
      performance costs for applications trying to create huge numbers of
      threads using pre-allocated stack space. the new value of
      PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX is the minimum allowed by POSIX, 128. this should
      still be plenty more than real-world applications need, especially now
      that C11/gcc-style TLS is now supported in musl, and most apps and
      libraries choose to use that instead of POSIX TSD when available.
      
      at the same time, PTHREAD_STACK_MIN has been decreased. it was
      originally set to PAGE_SIZE back when there was no support for TLS or
      application-provided stacks, and requests smaller than a whole page
      did not make sense. now, there are two good reasons to support
      requests smaller than a page: (1) applications could provide
      pre-allocated stacks smaller than a page, and (2) with smaller stack
      sizes, stack+TLS+TSD can all fit in one page, making it possible for
      applications which need huge numbers of threads with minimal stack
      needs to allocate exactly one page per thread. the new value of
      PTHREAD_STACK_MIN, 2k, is aligned with the minimum size for
      sigaltstack.

      replace __wake function with macro that performs direct syscall · facc6acb
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this should generate faster and smaller code, especially with inline
      syscalls. the conditional with cnt is ugly, but thankfully cnt is
      always a constant anyway so it gets evaluated at compile time. it may
      be preferable to make separate __wake and __wakeall macros without a
      count argument.
      
      priv flag is not used yet; private futex support still needs to be
      done at some point in the future.

      SOL_TCP is nonstandard and not in the reserved namespace · 725c5552
      Rich Felker 提交于
      alternatively, we could define it in sys/socket.h since SO* is
      reserved there, and tcp.h includes sys/socket.h in extensions mode.
      
      note that SOL_TCP is simply wrong and it's only here for compatibility
      with broken applications. the correct argument to pass for setting TCP
      socket options is IPPROTO_TCP, which of course has the same value as
      SOL_TCP but works everywhere.
