2012-05-06some extra legacy header stuffRich Felker-0/+32
2012-05-06add FORCE_EVAL macro to evaluate float expr for their side effectnsz-24/+25
updated nextafter* to use FORCE_EVAL, it can be used in many other places in the math code to improve readability.
2012-05-06fix unused variable warnings in new nextafter/nexttoward codeRich Felker-6/+12
apparently initializing a variable is not "using" it but assigning to it is "using" it. i don't really like this fix, but it's better than trying to make a bigger cleanup just before a release, and it should work fine (tested against nsz's math tests).
2012-05-06take byte order from gcc if gcc has defined itRich Felker-0/+4
this only works with gcc 4.6 and later, but it allows us to support non-default endianness on archs like arm, mips, ppc, etc. that can do both without having separate header sets for both variants, and it saves one #include even on fixed-endianness archs like x86.
2012-05-06Merge remote-tracking branch 'nsz/master'Rich Felker-291/+176
2012-05-06add isastream (obsolete STREAMS junk)Rich Felker-1/+9
apparently some packages see stropts.h and want to be able to use this. the implementation checks that the file descriptor is valid by using fcntl/F_GETFD so it can report an error if not (as specified).
2012-05-06math: nextafter and nexttoward cleanupnsz-291/+176
make nexttoward, nexttowardf independent of long double representation. fix nextafterl: it did not raise underflow flag when the result was 0.
2012-05-05fix definitions of FP_ILOGB constantsRich Felker-2/+2
two issues: (1) the type was wrong (unsigned instead of signed int), and (2) the value of FP_ILOGBNAN should be INT_MIN rather than INT_MAX to match the ABI. this is also much more useful since INT_MAX corresponds to a valid input (infinity). the standard would allow us to set FP_ILOGB0 to -INT_MAX instead of INT_MIN, which would give us distinct values for ilogb(0) and ilogb(NAN), but the benefit seems way too small to justify ignoring the ABI. note that the macro is just a "portable" (to any twos complement system where signed and unsigned int have the same width) way to write INT_MIN without needing limits.h. it's valid to use this method since these macros are not required to work in #if directives.

2012-05-04update INSTALL file to reflect configure script usageRich Felker-13/+23
2012-05-04initial commit of configure scriptRich Felker-0/+275
this script is not based on autoconf; however it attempts to follow the same interface contracts for ease of integration with build systems. it is also not necessary to use musl. manually written config.mak files are still supported, as is building without any config.mak at all as long as you are happy with the default options and you supply at least ARCH on the command line to make.
2012-05-04make pthread stacks non-executableRich Felker-1/+1
this change is necessary or pthread_create will always fail on security-hardened kernels. i considered first trying to make the stack executable and simply retrying without execute permissions when the first try fails, but (1) this would incur a serious performance penalty on hardened systems, and (2) having the stack be executable is just a bad idea from a security standpoint. if there is real-world "GNU C" code that uses nested functions with threads, and it can't be fixed, we'll have to consider other ways of solving the problem, but for now this seems like the best fix.
2012-05-04improve the build rules for installing /lib/ld-musl-$ARCH.soRich Felker-2/+4
these new rules should avoid spurious error messages when the directory (usually /lib) and the dynamic linker symlink already exist, and minimize the spam when they can't be created.
2012-05-04Merge remote-tracking branch 'nsz/master'Rich Felker-20/+16
2012-05-04fix error reporting for dlsym with global symbolsRich Felker-1/+2
2012-05-05math: change the formula used for acos.snsz-20/+16
old: 2*atan2(sqrt(1-x),sqrt(1+x)) new: atan2(fabs(sqrt((1-x)*(1+x))),x) improvements: * all edge cases are fixed (sign of zero in downward rounding) * a bit faster (here a single call is about 131ns vs 162ns) * a bit more precise (at most 1ulp error on 1M uniform random samples in [0,1), the old formula gave some 2ulp errors as well)
2012-05-04fix uninitialized var in vfwprintf printing 0-prec stringRich Felker-1/+1
this could lead to spurious failures of wide printf functions
2012-05-04add *64 junk for sys/*.h headersRich Felker-0/+50
2012-05-04add support for ugly *64 functions with _LARGEFILE64_SOURCERich Felker-0/+68
musl does not support legacy 32-bit-off_t whatsoever. off_t is always 64 bit, and correct programs that use off_t and the standard functions will just work out of the box. (on glibc, they would require -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to work.) however, some programs instead define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE and use alternate versions of all the standard types and functions with "64" appended to their names. we do not want code to actually get linked against these functions (it's ugly and inconsistent), so macros are used instead of prototypes with weak aliases in the library itself. eventually the weak aliases may be added at the library level for the sake of using code that was originally built against glibc, but the macros will still be the desired solution in the headers.
2012-05-03avoid setting nondefault scheduler tooRich Felker-1/+1
2012-05-03implement stub versions of sched_*Rich Felker-0/+49
these actually work, but for now they prohibit actually setting priority levels and report min/max priority as 0.
2012-05-03uglify headers for the sake of junk that compiles with gcc -std=c89/-ansiRich Felker-6/+24
2012-05-03add additional compatibility union member for ipv6 addressesRich Felker-0/+2
in6_* is in the reserved namespace, so this is valid
2012-05-03overhaul SSP support to use a real canaryRich Felker-12/+25
pthread structure has been adjusted to match the glibc/GCC abi for where the canary is stored on i386 and x86_64. it will need variants for other archs to provide the added security of the canary's entropy, but even without that it still works as well as the old "minimal" ssp support. eventually such changes will be made anyway, since they are also needed for GCC/C11 thread-local storage support (not yet implemented). care is taken not to attempt initializing the thread pointer unless the program actually uses SSP (by reference to __stack_chk_fail).
2012-05-03make all .o files depend on *_impl.h and libc.hRich Felker-2/+3
hopefully the annoyance of this will be minimal. these files all define internal interfaces which can change at any time; if different modules are using different versions of the interfaces, the library will badly break. ideally we would scan and add the dependency only for C files that actually reference the affected interfaces, but for now, err on the side of caution and force a rebuild of everything if any of them have changed. this commit is in preparation for the upcoming ssp overhaul commit, which will change internals of the pthread struct.
2012-05-02remove some junk from x86_64 start filesRich Felker-4/+0
looks like nik copied these "extra arguments" from the i386 code. they're not actually arguments there, just 1-byte instructions to make sure the stack is aligned to 16 bytes after all the other arguments are pushed. since each push is 8 bytes on x86_64, they happened to have no effect here, but their presence is confusing and a minor waste of space.
2012-05-02PIE support for x86_64 (untested)Rich Felker-0/+18
2012-05-02consistency cleanup: removed redundant size suffixed from i386 asmRich Felker-22/+22
2012-05-02PIE support for i386Rich Felker-1/+25
2012-05-02remove attempts to be pie-compatible from i386 crt1.sRich Felker-6/+3
it does not work; after further consideration, a separate Scrt1.s for pie really is essential. it would be nice if the unified approach worked, but the linker fails to generate the correct PLT entries and instead puts textrels in the main program, which don't work because the kernel maps the text read-only. new Scrt1.s will be committed soon in place of this.
2012-05-02fix longstanding exit logic bugs in mbsnrtowcs and wcsnrtombsRich Felker-4/+9
these are POSIX 2008 (previously GNU extension) functions that are rarely used. apparently they had never been tested before, since the end-of-string logic was completely missing. mbsnrtowcs is used by modern versions of bash for its glob implementation, and and this bug was causing tab completion to hang in an infinite loop.
2012-05-01remove minimal linux kernel headersRich Felker-621/+0
these were at best of limited usefulness (for bootstrapping new systems, mainly) and at worst caused real kernel headers to get overwritten when upgrading libc. in case they're needed by anyone, the exact same files are now available in a new git repository: git://git.etalabs.net/mini-lkh
2012-05-01reorganize Makefile to support "least surprise" config/make semanticsRich Felker-11/+23
the major change here is that CFLAGS is now a variable that can be changed entirely under user control, without causing essential flags to be lost. previously, "CFLAGS += ..." was valid in config.mak, but using "CFLAGS = ..." in config.mak would have badly broken the build process unless the user took care to copy the necessary flags out of the main Makefile. I have also added a distclean target that removes config.mak.
2012-05-01remove objcopy --weaken from the makefileRich Felker-2/+0
as far as I can tell, it's not useful and never way. I wrote it way back under the assumption that non-weak symbols in the POSIX or extension namespace could conflict with legitimate uses of the same symbol name in the main program or other libraries, but that does not seem to be the case.
2012-05-01support alternate glibc name pow10 for exp10Rich Felker-0/+12
2012-04-30add C stub for sqrtl (already implemented in asm on i386 and x86_64)Rich Felker-0/+9
2012-04-30first try at writing an efficient and "correct" exp10Rich Felker-0/+59
this is a nonstandard function so it's not clear what conditions it should satisfy. my intent is that it be fast and exact for positive integral exponents when the result fits in the destination type, and fast and correctly rounded for small negative integral exponents. otherwise we aim for at most 1ulp error; it seems to differ from pow by at most 1ulp and it's often 2-5 times faster than pow.
2012-04-30make stack protector work with gcc configured for non-tls canaryRich Felker-0/+2
2012-04-30fix off-by-one error that caused uninitialized memory read in floatscanRich Felker-1/+1
this caused misreading of certain floating point values that are exact multiples of large powers of ten, unpredictable depending on prior stack contents.
2012-04-29fix typo in the x86_64 rounding asmRich Felker-4/+4
2012-04-29new math asm (abs/rounding) for x86_64Rich Felker-0/+36

2012-04-29add linux-specific unshare syscall wrapperRich Felker-0/+9
2012-04-29fix longstanding missing static in mq_notify (namespace pollution)Rich Felker-1/+1
2012-04-28new fnmatch implementationRich Felker-131/+273
unlike the old one, this one's algorithm does not suffer from potential stack overflow issues or pathologically bad performance on certain patterns. instead of backtracking, it uses a matching algorithm which I have not seen before (unsure whether I invented or re-invented it) that runs in O(1) space and O(nm) time. it may be possible to improve the time to O(n), but not without significantly greater complexity.
2012-04-27support FLT_EVAL_METHOD changing on x86 with gcc -msse2 -mfpmath=sseRich Felker-0/+4
if the compiler provides a value, use it; otherwise fallback to the platform default (2).
2012-04-26update fnmatch to POSIX 2008 semanticsRich Felker-4/+11
an invalid bracket expression must be treated as if the opening bracket were just a literal character. this is to fix a bug whereby POSIX left the behavior of the "[" shell command undefined due to it being an invalid bracket expression.
