2019-05-16fix tls offsets when p_vaddr%p_align != 0 on TLS_ABOVE_TP targetsSzabolcs Nagy-4/+6
currently the bfd linker does not seem to create tls segments where p_vaddr%p_align != 0, but this is valid in ELF and then the runtime computed tls offset must satisfy offset%p_align == (base+p_vaddr)%p_align and in case of local exec tls (main executable) the smallest such offset must be used (otherwise it is incompatible with the offset computed by the static linker). the !TLS_ABOVE_TP case is handled correctly (the offset is negative then in the formula). the ldso code for TLS_ABOVE_TP is changed so the static tls offset of each module satisfies the formula.
2019-05-16fix static tls offsets of shared libs on TLS_ABOVE_TP targetsSzabolcs Nagy-4/+2
tls_offset should always point to the end of the allocated static tls area, but this was not handled correctly on "tls variant 1" targets in the dynamic linker: after application tls was allocated, tls_offset was aligned up, potentially wasting tls space. (alignment may be needed at the begining of the tls area, not at the end, but that will be fixed separately as it is unlikely to affect real binaries.) when static tls was allocated for a shared library, tls_offset was only updated with the size of the tls segment which does not include alignment gaps, which can easily happen if the tls size update for one library leaves tls_offset misaligned for the next one. this can cause oob access in __copy_tls or arbitrary breakage at tls access. (the issue was observed on aarch64 with rust binaries)
2019-05-16fix format strings for uid/gid values in putpwent/putgrentRich Felker-2/+2
commit 648c3b4e18b2ce2b6af7d44783e42ca267ea49f5 omitted this change, which is needed to be able to use uid/gid values greater than INT_MAX with these interfaces. it fixes alpine linux bug #10460.
2019-05-12remove unused struct dso members from dynlink.cFangrui Song-1/+0
maintainer's note: commit 9d44b6460ab603487dab4d916342d9ba4467e6b9 removed their use.
2019-05-11improve i386 inline syscall asm on non-broken compilersRich Felker-1/+34
we have to avoid using ebx unconditionally in asm constraints for i386, because gcc 3 and 4 and possibly other simplistic compilers (pcc?) implement PIC via making ebx a fixed-use register, and disallow its use for anything else. rather than hard-coding knowledge of which compilers work (at least gcc 5+ and clang), perform a configure test; this should give us the good codegen on any new compilers we don't yet know about. swapping ebx and edx is kept for 1- and 2-arg syscalls because it avoids having any spills/stack-frame at all in small functions. for 6-arg, if ebx is directly usable, the complex shuffling introduced in commit c8798ef974d21c338a7d8d874a402978ffc6168e can be avoided, and ebp can be loaded the same way ebx is in 5-arg syscalls for compilers that don't support direct use of ebx.
2019-05-10fix regression in i386 inline syscall asm producing invalid codeRich Felker-6/+6
commit 22e5bbd0deadcbd767864bd714e890b70e1fe1df inlined the i386 syscall mechanism, but wrongly assumed memory operands to the 5- and 6-argument syscall asm would be esp-based. however, nothing in the constraints prevented them from being ebx- or ebp-based, and in those cases, ebx and ebp could be clobbered before use of the memory operand was complete. in the 6-argument case, this prevented restoration of the original register values before the end of the asm block, breaking the asm contract since ebx and ebp are not marked as clobbered. (they can't be, because lots of compilers don't accept these registers in constraints or clobbers if PIC or frame pointer is enabled). doing this right is complicated by the fact that, after a single push, no operands which might be memory operands are usable. if they are esp-based, the value of esp has changed, rendering them invalid. introduce some new dances to load the registers. for the 5-arg case, push the operand that may be a memory operand first, and after that, it doesn't matter if the operand is invalid, since we'll just use the newly pushed value. for the 6-arg case, we need to put both operands in memory to begin with, like the old non-inline code prior to commit 22e5bbd0deadcbd767864bd714e890b70e1fe1df accepted, so that there's only one potentially memory-based operand to the asm. this can then be saved with a single push, and after that the values can be read off into the registers they're needed in. there's some size overhead, but still a lot less execution overhead than the old out-of-line code. doing it better depends on a modern compiler that lets you use ebx and ebp in asm constraints without restriction. the failure modes on compilers where this doesn't work are inconsistent and dangerous (on at least some gcc versions 4.x and earlier, wrong codegen!), so this is a delicate matter. it can be addressed later if needed.
2019-05-05make fgetwc set error indicator for stream on encoding errorsRich Felker-2/+8
this is a requirement in POSIX that's omitted, and seemed potentially non-conforming, in the C standard. as such it was omitted here. however, as part of Austin Group issue #1170, the discrepancy was raised with WG14 and determined to be unintended; future versions of the C standard will require the error indicator to be set, as POSIX does.
2019-05-05fix broken posix_fadvise on mips due to missing 7-arg syscall supportRich Felker-0/+25
commit 788d5e24ca19c6291cebd8d1ad5b5ed6abf42665 exposed the breakage at build time by removing support for 7-argument syscalls; however, the external __syscall function provided for mips before did not pass a 7th argument from the stack, so the behavior was just silently broken.
2019-05-05allow archs to provide a 7-argument syscall if neededRich Felker-0/+1
commit 788d5e24ca19c6291cebd8d1ad5b5ed6abf42665 noted that we could add this if needed, and in fact it is needed, but not for one of the archs documented as having a 7th syscall arg register. rather, it's needed for mips (o32), where all but the first 4 arguments are passed on the stack, and the stack can accommodate a 7th.
2019-05-05fix build regression on mips n32 due to typo in new inline syscallRich Felker-1/+1
commit 1bcdaeee6e659f1d856717c9aa562a068f2f3bd4 introduced the regression.
2019-05-05fix passing of 64-bit syscall arguments on microblazeRich Felker-1/+1
this has been wrong since the beginning of the microblaze port: the syscall ABI for microblaze does not align 64-bit arguments on even register boundaries. commit 788d5e24ca19c6291cebd8d1ad5b5ed6abf42665 exposed the problem by introducing references to a nonexistent __syscall7. the ABI is not documented well anywhere, but I was able to confirm against both strace source and glibc source that microblaze is not using the alignment. per the syscall(2) man page, posix_fadvise, ftruncate, pread, pwrite, readahead, sync_file_range, and truncate were all affected and either did not work at all, or only worked by chance, e.g. when the affected argument slots were all zero.
2019-04-23fix regression in s390x SO_PEERSEC definitionRich Felker-0/+1
analogous to commit efda534b212f713fe2b92a62b06e45f656b763ce for powerpc. commit 587f5a53bc3a68d80b239ba515d583df690a96df moved the definition of SO_PEERSEC to bits/socket.h for archs where the SO_* macros differ.
2019-04-20make new math code compatible with unused variable warning/errorRich Felker-3/+6
commit b50d315fd23f0fbc4c11e2583801dd123d933745 introduced fp_force_eval implemented by default with a dead store to a volatile variable. unfortunately introduces warnings with -Wunused-variable and breaks the ability to use -Werror with the default warning options set by configure when warnings are enabled. we could just call fp_barrier instead, but that results in a spurious load after the store due to volatile semantics. the fix committed here avoids the load. it will still produce warnings without -Wno-unused-but-set-variable, but that's part of our default warning profile, and there are already other locations in the source where an unused variable warning will occur without it.

2019-04-17math: add configuration macrosSzabolcs Nagy-0/+5
Musl currently aims to support non-nearest rounding mode and does not support SNaNs. These macros allow marking relevant code paths in case these decisions are changed later (they also help documenting the corner cases involved).
2019-04-17math: add macros for static branch prediction hintsSzabolcs Nagy-0/+9
These don't have an effectw with -Os so not useful with default settings other than documenting the expectation. With --enable-optimize=internal,malloc,string,math the libc.so code size increases by 18K on x86_64 and performance varies in -2% .. +10%.
2019-04-17math: add double precision error handling functionsSzabolcs Nagy-0/+35
2019-04-17math: add single precision error handling functionsSzabolcs Nagy-0/+37
These are supposed to be used in tail call positions when handling special cases in new code. (fp exceptions may be raised "naturally" by the common code path if special casing is more effort.) This implements the error handling apis used in https://github.com/ARM-software/optimized-routines without errno setting.
2019-04-17math: add eval_as_float and eval_as_doubleSzabolcs Nagy-0/+17
Previously type casts or assignments were used for handling excess precision, which assumed standard C99 semantics, but since it's a rarely needed obscure detail, it's better to use explicit helper functions to document where we rely on this. It also helps if the code is used outside of the libc in non-C99 compilation mode: with the default excess precision handling of gcc, explicit inline asm barriers are needed for narrowing on FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 targets. I plan to use this in new code with the existing style that uses double_t and float_t as much as possible. One ugliness is that it is required for almost every return statement since that does not drop excess precision (the standard changed this in C11 annex F, but that does not help in non-standard compilation modes or with old compilers).
2019-04-17math: add fp_arch.h with fp_barrier and fp_force_evalSzabolcs Nagy-6/+90
C99 has ways to support fenv access, but compilers don't implement it and assume nearest rounding mode and no fp status flag access. (gcc has -frounding-math and then it does not assume nearest rounding mode, but it still assumes the compiled code itself does not change the mode. Even if the C99 mechanism was implemented it is not ideal: it requires all code in the library to be compiled with FENV_ACCESS "on" to make it usable in non-nearest rounding mode, but that limits optimizations more than necessary.) The math functions should give reasonable results in all rounding modes (but the quality may be degraded in non-nearest rounding modes) and the fp status flag settings should follow the spec, so fenv side-effects are important and code transformations that break them should be prevented. Unfortunately compilers don't give any help with this, the best we can do is to add fp barriers to the code using volatile local variables (they create a stack frame and undesirable memory accesses to it) or inline asm (gcc specific, requires target specific fp reg constraints, often creates unnecessary reg moves and multiple barriers are needed to express that an operation has side-effects) or extern call (only useful in tail-call position to avoid stack-frame creation and does not work with lto). We assume that in a math function if an operation depends on the input and the output depends on it, then the operation will be evaluated at runtime when the function is called, producing all the expected fenv side-effects (this is not true in case of lto and in case the operation is evaluated with excess precision that is not rounded away). So fp barriers are needed (1) to prevent the move of an operation within a function (in case it may be moved from an unevaluated code path into an evaluated one or if it may be moved across a fenv access), (2) force the evaluation of an operation for its side-effect when it has no input dependency (may be constant folded) or (3) when its output is unused. I belive that fp_barrier and fp_force_eval can take care of these and they should not be needed in hot code paths.
2019-04-17math: remove sun copyright from libm.hSzabolcs Nagy-23/+0
Nothing is left from the original fdlibm header nor from the bsd modifications to it other than some internal api declarations. Comments are dropped that may be copyrightable content.
2019-04-17math: add asuint, asuint64, asfloat and asdoubleSzabolcs Nagy-33/+15
Code generation for SET_HIGH_WORD slightly changes, but it only affects pow, otherwise the generated code is unchanged.
2019-04-17math: move complex math out of libm.hSzabolcs Nagy-80/+87
This makes it easier to build musl math code with a compiler that does not support complex types (tcc) and in general more sensible factorization of the internal headers.
2019-04-17define FP_FAST_FMA* when fma* can be inlinedSzabolcs Nagy-0/+12
FP_FAST_FMA can be defined if "the fma function generally executes about as fast as, or faster than, a multiply and an add of double operands", which can only be true if the fma call is inlined as an instruction. gcc sets __FP_FAST_FMA if __builtin_fma is inlined as an instruction, but that does not mean an fma call will be inlined (e.g. it is defined with -fno-builtin-fma), other compilers (clang) don't even have such macro, but this is the closest we can get. (even if the libc fma implementation is a single instruction, the extern call overhead is already too big when the macro is used to decide between x*y+z and fma(x,y,z) so it cannot be based on libc only, defining the macro unconditionally on targets which have fma in the base isa is also incorrect: the compiler might not inline fma anyway.) this solution works with gcc unless fma inlining is explicitly turned off.
2019-04-10fcntl.h: define O_TTY_INIT to 0A. Wilcox-2/+3
POSIX: "[If] either O_TTY_INIT is set in oflag or O_TTY_INIT has the value zero, open() shall set any non-standard termios structure terminal parameters to a state that provides conforming behavior." The Linux kernel tty drivers always perform initialisation on their devices to set known good termios values during the open(2) call. This means that setting O_TTY_INIT to zero is conforming.
2019-04-10remove external __syscall function and last remaining usersRich Felker-264/+2
the weak version of __syscall_cp_c was using a tail call to __syscall to avoid duplicating the 6-argument syscall code inline in small static-linked programs, but now that __syscall no longer exists, the inline expansion is no longer duplication. the syscall.h machinery suppported up to 7 syscall arguments, only via an external __syscall function, but we presently have no syscall call points that actually make use of that many, and the kernel only defines 7-argument calling conventions for arm, powerpc (32-bit), and sh. if it turns out we need them in the future, they can easily be added.
2019-04-10implement inline 5- and 6-argument syscalls for mipsn32 and mips64Rich Felker-29/+68
n32 and n64 ABIs add new argument registers vs o32, so that passing on the stack is not necessary, so it's not clear why the 5- and 6-argument versions were special-cased to begin with; it seems to have been pattern-copying from arch/mips (o32). i've treated the new argument registers like the first 4 in terms of clobber status (non-clobbered). hopefully this is correct.
2019-04-10cleanup mips64 syscall_arch functionsRich Felker-18/+9
2019-04-10implement inline 5- and 6-argument syscalls for mipsRich Felker-6/+33
the OABI passes these on the stack, using the convention that their position on the stack is as if the first four arguments (in registers) also had stack slots. originally this was deemed too awkward to do inline, falling back to external __syscall, but it's not that bad and now that external __syscall is being removed, it's necessary.
2019-04-10use inline syscalls for powerpc (32-bit)Rich Felker-2/+84
the inline syscall code is copied directly from powerpc64. the extent of register clobber specifiers may be excessive on both; if that turns out to be the case it can be fixed later.
2019-04-10remove cruft for supposedly-buggy clang from or1k & microblaze syscall_archRich Felker-18/+0
it was never demonstrated to me that this workaround was needed, and seems likely that, if there ever was any clang version for which it was needed, it's old enough to be unusably buggy in other ways. if it turns out some compilers actually can't do the register allocation right, we'll need to replace this with inline shuffling code, since the external __syscall dependency is being removed.
2019-04-10overhaul i386 syscall mechanism not to depend on external asm sourceRich Felker-80/+51
this is the first part of a series of patches intended to make __syscall fully self-contained in the object file produced using syscall.h, which will make it possible for crt1 code to perform syscalls. the (confusingly named) i386 __vsyscall mechanism, which this commit removes, was introduced before the presence of a valid thread pointer was mandatory; back then the thread pointer was setup lazily only if threads were used. the intent was to be able to perform syscalls using the kernel's fast entry point in the VDSO, which can use the sysenter (Intel) or syscall (AMD) instruction instead of int $128, but without inlining an access to the __syscall global at the point of each syscall, which would incur a significant size cost from PIC setup everywhere. the mechanism also shuffled registers/calling convention around to avoid spills of call-saved registers, and to avoid allocating ebx or ebp via asm constraints, since there are plenty of broken-but-supported compiler versions which are incapable of allocating ebx with -fPIC or ebp with -fno-omit-frame-pointer. the new mechanism preserves the properties of avoiding spills and avoiding allocation of ebx/ebp in constraints, but does it inline, using some fairly simple register shuffling, and uses a field of the thread structure rather than global data for the vdso-provided syscall code address. for now, the external __syscall function is refactored not to use the old __vsyscall so it can be kept, but the intent is to remove it too.
2019-04-09release 1.1.22v1.1.22Rich Felker-1/+42
2019-04-09in membarrier fallback, allow for possibility that sigaction failsRich Felker-8/+9
this is a workaround to avoid a crashing regression on qemu-user when dynamic TLS is installed at dlopen time. the sigaction syscall should not be able to fail, but it does fail for implementation-internal signals under qemu user-level emulation if the host libc qemu is running under reserves the same signals for implementation-internal use, since qemu makes no provision to redirect/emulate them. after sigaction fails, the subsequent tkill would terminate the process abnormally as the default action. no provision to account for membarrier failing is made in the dynamic linker code that installs new TLS. at the formal level, the missing barrier in this case is incorrect, and perhaps we should fail the dlopen operation, but in practice all the archs we support (and probably all real-world archs except alpha, which isn't yet supported) should give the right behavior with no barrier at all as a consequence of consume-order properties. in the long term, this workaround should be supplemented or replaced by something better -- a different fallback approach to ensuring memory consistency, or dynamic allocation of implementation-internal signals. the latter is appealing in that it would allow cancellation to work under qemu-user too, and would even allow many levels of nested emulation.
2019-04-06fix the use of syscall result in dl_mmapIlya Matveychikov-1/+1
2019-04-05fix signature of function accepted by makecontextBobby Bingham-1/+1
This parameter was incorrectly declared to be a pointer to a function accepting zero parameters. The intent of makecontext is that it is possible to pass integer parameters to the function, so this should have been a pointer to a function accepting an unspecified set of parameters.
2019-04-03fix unintended global symbols in atanl.cDan Gohman-3/+3
Mark atanhi, atanlo, and aT in atanl.c as static, as they're not intended to be part of the public API. These are already static in the LDBL_MANT_DIG == 64 code, so this patch is just making the LDBL_MANT_DIG == 113 code do the same thing.
2019-04-02use __strchrnul instead of strchr and strlen in execvpeFrediano Ziglio-2/+1
The result is the same but takes less code. Note that __execvpe calls getenv which calls __strchrnul so even using static output the size of the executable won't grow.

commit 54ca677983d47529bab8752315ac1a2b49888870 inadvertently introduced bitwise and where logical and was intended. since the right-hand operand is always 0 or -1 whenever the left-hand operand is nonzero, the behavior happened to be equivalent.

priority inheritance is a feature to mitigate priority inversion situations, where a execution of a medium-priority thread can unboundedly block forward progress of a high-priority thread when a lock it needs is held by a low-priority thread. the natural way to do priority inheritance would be with a simple futex flag to donate the calling thread's priority to a target thread while it waits on the futex. unfortunately, linux does not offer such an interface, but instead insists on implementing the whole locking protocol in kernelspace with special futex commands that exist solely for the purpose of doing PI mutexes. this would require the entire "trylock" logic to be duplicated in the timedlock code path for PI mutexes, since, once the previous lock holder releases the lock and the futex call returns, the lock is already held by the caller. obviously such code duplication is undesirable. instead, I've made the PI timedlock success path set the mutex lock count to -1, which can be thought of as "not yet complete", since a lock count of 0 is "locked, with no recursive references". a simple branch in a non-hot path of pthread_mutex_trylock can then see and act on this state, skipping past the code that would check and take the lock to the same code path that runs after the lock is obtained for a non-PI mutex. because we're forced to let the kernel perform the actual lock and unlock operations whenever the mutex is contended, we have to patch things up when it does the wrong thing: 1. the lock operation is not aware of whether the mutex is error-checking, so it will always fail with EDEADLK rather than deadlocking. 2. the lock operation is not aware of whether the mutex is robust, so it will successfully obtain mutexes in the owner-died state even if they're non-robust, whereas this operation should deadlock. 3. the unlock operation always sets the lock value to zero, whereas for robust mutexes, we want to set it to a special value indicating that the mutex obtained after its owner died was unlocked without marking it consistent, so that future operations all fail with ENOTRECOVERABLE. the first of these is easy to solve, just by performing a futex wait on a dummy futex address to simulate deadlock or ETIMEDOUT as appropriate. but problems 2 and 3 interact in a nasty way. to solve problem 2, we need to back out the spurious success. but if waiters are present -- which we can't just ignore, because even if we don't want to wake them, the calling thread is incorrectly inheriting their priorities -- this requires using the kernel's unlock operation, which will zero the lock value, thereby losing the "owner died with lock held" state. to solve these problems, we overload the mutex's waiters field, which is unused for PI mutexes since they don't call the normal futex wait functions, as an indicator that the PI mutex is permanently non-lockable. originally I wanted to use the count field, but there is one code path that needs to access this flag without synchronization: trylock's CAS failure path needs to be able to decide whether to fail with EBUSY or ENOTRECOVERABLE, the waiters field is already treated as a relaxed-order atomic in our memory model, so this works out nicely.
2019-03-29clean up access to mutex type in pthread_mutex_trylockRich Felker-2/+2
there was no point in masking off the pshared bit when first loading the type, since every subsequent access involves a mask anyway. not masking it may avoid a subsequent load to check the pshared flag, and it's just simpler.
