      work around constant folding bug 61144 in gcc 4.9.0 and 4.9.1 · a6adb2bc
      Rich Felker 提交于
      previously we detected this bug in configure and issued advice for a
      workaround, but this turned out not to work. since then gcc 4.9.0 has
      appeared in several distributions, and now 4.9.1 has been released
      without a fix despite this being a wrong code generation bug which is
      supposed to be a release-blocker, per gcc policy.
      
      since the scope of the bug seems to affect only data objects (rather
      than functions) whose definitions are overridable, and there are only
      a very small number of these in musl, I am just changing them from
      const to volatile for the time being. simply removing the const would
      be sufficient to make gcc 4.9.1 work (the non-const case was
      inadvertently fixed as part of another change in gcc), and this would
      also be sufficient with 4.9.0 if we forced -O0 on the affected files
      or on the whole build. however it's cleaner to just remove all the
      broken compiler detection and use volatile, which will ensure that
      they are never constant-folded. the quality of a non-broken compiler's
      output should not be affected except for the fact that these objects
      are no longer const and thus possibly add a few bytes to data/bss.
      
      this change can be reconsidered and possibly reverted at some point in
      the future when the broken gcc versions are no longer relevant.

      add proper fuxed-based locking for stdio · dba68bf9
      Rich Felker 提交于
      previously, stdio used spinlocks, which would be unacceptable if we
      ever add support for thread priorities, and which yielded
      pathologically bad performance if an application attempted to use
      flockfile on a key file as a major/primary locking mechanism.
      
      i had held off on making this change for fear that it would hurt
      performance in the non-threaded case, but actually support for
      recursive locking had already inflicted that cost. by having the
      internal locking functions store a flag indicating whether they need
      to perform unlocking, rather than using the actual recursive lock
      counter, i was able to combine the conditionals at unlock time,
      eliminating any additional cost, and also avoid a nasty corner case
      where a huge number of calls to ftrylockfile could cause deadlock
      later at the point of internal locking.
      
      this commit also fixes some issues with usage of pthread_self
      conflicting with __attribute__((const)) which resulted in crashes with
      some compiler versions/optimizations, mainly in flockfile prior to
      pthread_create.

      major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changes · e3cd6c5c
      Rich Felker 提交于
      the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill
      the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and
      likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's
      buffer in a single syscall.
      
      making this change required fundamental architectural changes to
      stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process:
      
      - the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail
        following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set
        (though the latter could easily be changed back if desired)
      
      - unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
        consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer
        has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters.
      
      - the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of
        the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while
        shrinking the structure to save some space.
      
      - error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct.
      
      - library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked
        now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow
        are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or
        write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g.
        with ungetc.
      
      - lots of other small things.
