      overhaul cancellation to fix resource leaks and dangerous behavior with signals · b470030f
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this commit addresses two issues:
      
      1. a race condition, whereby a cancellation request occurring after a
      syscall returned from kernelspace but before the subsequent
      CANCELPT_END would cause cancellable resource-allocating syscalls
      (like open) to leak resources.
      
      2. signal handlers invoked while the thread was blocked at a
      cancellation point behaved as if asynchronous cancellation mode wer in
      effect, resulting in potentially dangerous state corruption if a
      cancellation request occurs.
      
      the glibc/nptl implementation of threads shares both of these issues.
      
      with this commit, both are fixed. however, cancellation points
      encountered in a signal handler will not be acted upon if the signal
      was received while the thread was already at a cancellation point.
      they will of course be acted upon after the signal handler returns, so
      in real-world usage where signal handlers quickly return, it should
      not be a problem. it's possible to solve this problem too by having
      sigaction() wrap all signal handlers with a function that uses a
      pthread_cleanup handler to catch cancellation, patch up the saved
      context, and return into the cancellable function that will catch and
      act upon the cancellation. however that would be a lot of complexity
      for minimal if any benefit...

      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.

      overhaul syscall interface · d00ff295
      Rich Felker 提交于
      this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
      that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
      __NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
      the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
      the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.
      
      previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
      incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
      the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
      memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.
      
      further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
