2011-04-13implement memrchr (nonstandard) and optimize strrchr in terms of itRich Felker-4/+16
2011-04-13add ptsname_r (nonstandard) and split ptsname (standard) to separate fileRich Felker-11/+17
this eliminates the ugly static buffer in programs that use ptsname_r.
2011-04-12speed up threaded forkRich Felker-2/+1
after fork, we have a new process and the pid is equal to the tid of the new main thread. there is no need to make two separate syscalls to obtain the same number.
2011-04-12more changes for upcoming 0.7.8Rich Felker-1/+12
2011-04-12optimize ntohl etc. in terms of bswap functionsRich Felker-20/+12
we can do this without violating the namespace now that they are macros/inline functions rather than extern functions. the motivation is that gcc was generating giant, slow, horrible code for the old functions, and now generates a single byte-swapping instruction.
2011-04-12move bswap functions to static inline in byteswap.hRich Felker-16/+25
2011-04-12fix broken bswap_32Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-12utmpx.h is no longer under standards, so expose ut_exit structureRich Felker-3/+3
2011-04-12add some traditional aliases to stat.hRich Felker-0/+6
2011-04-12fix printf("%.9g", 1.1) and similar not dropping trailing zerosRich Felker-1/+3
2011-04-12add missing rlimit macrosRich Felker-0/+8
2011-04-11more types cleanupRich Felker-18/+3
the basic idea is that the only things in alltypes.h should be types that either vary from system to system (in practice, not just in theoretical la-la land - this is the implementation so we choose what constraints we want to impose on ports) or which are needed by multiple system headers.
2011-04-11cleanup types stuff in headers, fix missing u_int*_t in sys/types.hRich Felker-29/+19
2011-04-11fix errno handling in scandir:Rich Felker-2/+1
1. saved errno was not being restored, illegally clearing errno to 0. 2. no need to backup and save errno around free; it will not touch except perhaps when the program has already invoked UB...
2011-04-11fix fputwc return valueRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-11remove ugly warning-suppression hack from crypt - this invokes UB!Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-11update README since we now DO have a mailing listRich Felker-4/+4
2011-04-10add some ugly legacy type names in sys/types.h (u_char etc.)Rich Felker-0/+8
2011-04-10add legacy BSD-style timer*() macros in sys/time.hRich Felker-0/+10
2011-04-10add missing UTIME_* macros in sys/stat.hRich Felker-0/+3
2011-04-10add missing float.h macrosRich Felker-0/+6
actually FLT_ROUNDS needs to expand to a static inline function that obtains the current rounding mode and returns it, but that will be added later with fenv.h stuff.
2011-04-09run pthread tsd destructors when a timer thread pretends to exitRich Felker-0/+6
2011-04-09greatly improve SIGEV_THREAD timersRich Felker-15/+21
calling pthread_exit from, or pthread_cancel on, the timer callback thread will no longer destroy the timer.
2011-04-09prepare notes for 0.7.8 releaseRich Felker-0/+18
2011-04-09work around a nasty bug in linux readv syscallRich Felker-3/+4
according to posix, readv "shall be equivalent to read(), except..." that it places the data into the buffers specified by the iov array. however on linux, when reading from a terminal, each iov element behaves almost like a separate read. this means that if the first iov exactly satisfied the request (e.g. a length-one read of '\n') and the second iov is nonzero length, the syscall will block again after getting the blank line from the terminal until another line is read. simply put, entering a single blank line becomes impossible. the solution, fortunately, is simple. whenever the buffer size is nonzero, reduce the length of the requested read by one byte and let the last byte go through the buffer. this way, readv will already be in the second (and last) iov, and won't re-block on the second iov.
2011-04-08better fix sysconf pthread stack minRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-08consistency with pthread stack min in limits.hRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-08fix broken sigsetjmp on x86_64Rich Felker-7/+9
2011-04-08workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linuxRich Felker-2/+23
POSIX clearly specifies the type of msg_iovlen and msg_controllen, and Linux ignores it and makes them both size_t instead. to work around this we add padding (instead of just using the wrong types like glibc does), but we also need to patch-up the struct before passing it to the kernel in case the caller did not zero-fill it. if i could trust the kernel to just ignore the upper 32 bits, this would not be necessary, but i don't think it will ignore them...
2011-04-08fix ipv6 address printing: 2001 appeared as 201, etc.Rich Felker-3/+5
2011-04-08fix broken dns response parsing code that made most ipv6 lookups failRich Felker-4/+6
2011-04-08return the requested string as the "canonical name" for numeric addressesRich Felker-0/+1
previously NULL was returned in ai_canonname, resulting in crashes in some callers. this behavior was incorrect. note however that the new behavior differs from glibc, which performs reverse dns lookups. POSIX is very clear that a reverse DNS lookup must not be performed for numeric addresses.
2011-04-07fix uninitialized variables in dns lookup codeRich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-07fix bug in TRE found by clang (typo && instead of &)Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-07fix misplaced *'s in string functions (harmless)Rich Felker-3/+3
2011-04-07fix broken unsigned comparison in wcstoumaxRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-07fix breakage due to converting a return type to size_t in iconv...Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-06fixed crash in new rsyscall (failure to set sa_flags for signal handler)Rich Felker-0/+2
2011-04-06consistency: change all remaining syscalls to use SYS_ rather than __NR_ prefixRich Felker-40/+40
2011-04-06move rsyscall out of pthread_create moduleRich Felker-109/+133
this is something of a tradeoff, as now set*id() functions, rather than pthread_create, are what pull in the code overhead for dealing with linux's refusal to implement proper POSIX thread-vs-process semantics. my motivations are: 1. it's cleaner this way, especially cleaner to optimize out the rsyscall locking overhead from pthread_create when it's not needed. 2. it's expected that only a tiny number of core system programs will ever use set*id() functions, whereas many programs may want to use threads, and making thread overhead tiny is an incentive for "light" programs to try threads.
2011-04-06pthread exit stuff: don't bother setting errno when we won't check it.Rich Felker-2/+2
2011-04-06fix rsyscall handler: must not clobber errno from signal contextRich Felker-2/+4
2011-04-06fix typo in sys/msg.hRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-06add startup abi functions, dummy for now. eventually needed for c++ support.Rich Felker-0/+10
2011-04-06add _res (__res_state()) dummyRich Felker-0/+9
2011-04-06add IN_LOOPBACKNET constant (nonstandard but in reserved namespace)Rich Felker-0/+2
2011-04-06document more changes for 0.7.7v0.7.7Rich Felker-1/+10
2011-04-06fix prototype for strsepRich Felker-1/+2
2011-04-06fix completely bogus loop condition in getmntent_rRich Felker-1/+1
somehow this worked on my simple fstab, but horribly broke in general, leading to use of uninitialized offset array and crashes.
2011-04-06major semaphore improvements (performance and correctness)Rich Felker-21/+37
1. make sem_[timed]wait interruptible by signals, per POSIX 2. keep a waiter count in order to avoid unnecessary futex wake syscalls
