linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there
was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker
was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own
name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both
directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh"
was favored.

the build system has no automatic way to know this code applies to
both big (default) and little endian variants, so explicit .sub files
are needed.
|
|
Userspace emulated floating-point (gcc -msoft-float) is not compatible
with the default mips abi (assumes an FPU or in kernel emulation of it).
Soft vs hard float abi should not be mixed, __mips_soft_float is checked
in musl's configure script and there is no runtime check. The -sf subarch
does not save/restore floating-point registers in setjmp/longjmp and only
provides dummy fenv implementation.

the issue is identical to the recent commit fixing the mips versions:
despite other implementations doing this, it conflicts with the
requirements of ISO C and it's a waste of time and code size.

nothing in the standard requires or even allows the fenv state to be
restored by longjmp. restoring the exception flags is not such a big
deal since it's probably valid to clobber them completely, but
restoring the rounding mode yields an observable side effect not
sanctioned by ISO C. saving/restoring it also wastes a few cycles and
16 bytes of code.
as for historical behavior, reportedly SGI IRIX did save/restore fenv,
and this is where glibc and uClibc got the behavior from. a few other
systems save/restore it too (on archs other than mips), even though
this is apparently wrong. further details are documented here:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~williams/archive/computation/setjmp-fpmode.html
as musl aims for standards conformance rather than coddling historical
programs expecting non-conforming behavior, and as it's unlikely that
any historical programs actually depend on the incorrect behavior
(such programs would break on other archs, anyway), I'm making the
change not to save/restore fenv on mips.

based on initial work by rdp, with heavy modifications. some features
including threads are untested because qemu app-level emulation seems
to be broken and I do not have a proper system image for testing.
|
|
not heavily tested, but at least they don't seem to break anything on
soft float targets with or without coprocessors. they check the auxv
AT_HWCAP flags to determine which coprocessor, if any, is available.
|
|
the original code was wrongly based on how it would be done in thumb
mode, but that's not needed because musl's asm only targets arm.
|
|
also fix the alignment of jmp_buf to meet the abi. linux always
emulates fpu on mips if it's not present, so enabling this code
unconditionally is "safe" but may be slow. in the long term it may be
preferable to find a way to disable it on soft float builds.
|
|
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.
at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.

this port assumes eabi calling conventions, eabi linux syscall
convention, and presence of the kernel helpers at 0xffff0f?0 needed
for threads support. otherwise it makes very few assumptions, and the
code should work even on armv4 without thumb support, as well as on
systems with thumb interworking. the bits headers declare this a
little endian system, but as far as i can tell the code should work
equally well on big endian.
some small details are probably broken; so far, testing has been
limited to qemu/aboriginal linux.

this seems to be necessary to make the linker accept the functions in
a shared library (perhaps to generate PLT entries?)
strictly speaking libc-internal asm should not need it. i might clean
that up later.

these are useless and have caused problems for users trying to build
with non-gnu tools like tcc's assembler.
