      use explicit visibility to optimize a few hot-path function calls · 607b05ac
      Rich Felker 提交于
      on x86 and some other archs, functions which make function calls which
      might go through a PLT incur a significant overhead cost loading the
      GOT register prior to making the call. this load is utterly useless in
      musl, since all calls are bound at library-creation time using
      -Bsymbolic-functions, but the compiler has no way of knowing this, and
      attempts to set the default visibility to protected have failed due to
      bugs in GCC and binutils.
      
      this commit simply manually assigns hidden/protected visibility, as
      appropriate, to a few internal-use-only functions which have many
      callers, or which have callers that are hot paths like getc/putc. it
      shaves about 5k off the i386 libc.so with -Os. many of the
      improvements are in syscall wrappers, where the benefit is just size
      and performance improvement is unmeasurable noise amid the syscall
      overhead. however, stdio may be measurably faster.
      
      if in the future there are toolchains that can do the same thing
      globally without introducing linking bugs, it might be worth
      considering removing these workarounds.

      add 7-arg syscall support for mips · 9a3bbce4
      Rich Felker 提交于
      no syscalls actually use that many arguments; the issue is that some
      syscalls with 64-bit arguments have them ordered badly so that
      breaking them into aligned 32-bit half-arguments wastes slots with
      padding, and a 7th slot is needed for the last argument.

      syscall organization overhaul · 208eb584
      Rich Felker 提交于
      now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
      variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
      __syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
      renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
      with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
      amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.
      
      changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
      i386 and mips has already been performed.

      workaround for preprocessor bug in pcc · a9be201c
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      overhaul pthread cancellation · feee9890
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interface · 685e40bb
      Rich Felker 提交于
      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.

      cleaning up syscalls in preparation for x86_64 port · 2cdfb7ca
      Rich Felker 提交于
      - 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
