2018-02-21update authors/contributors listRich Felker-0/+17
these additions were made by scanning git log since the last major update in commit 790580b2fc47bc20e613336cb937a120422a770c. in addition to git-level commit authorship, "patch by" text in the commit message was also scanned. this idiom was used in the past for patches that underwent substantial edits when merging or where the author did not provide a commit message. going forward, my intent is to use commit authorship consistently for attribution. as before my aim was adding everyone with either substantial code contributions or a pattern of ongoing simple patch submission; any omissions are unintentional.
2016-04-28update COPYRIGHT file to clarify that permissions apply for all filesRich Felker-14/+23
these changes are the outcome of a long mailing list thread that took place March 2016, "musl licensing". among minor other issues, prospective users were not confident that the whole-project MIT license would grant permission for files to which the COPYRIGHT file expressed a belief that copyright not apply, if it turned out that these files were actually subject to copyright. in accordance with the original intent of applying a permissive license to the project, which was that license issues not be an obstacle to use, the text which was causing confusion is removed. no new claims of copyright are made, but new text is added to clarify that the grant of permissions applies to all files, and an explicit grant of permission to use public headers and crt files without attribution has been made. this patch was reviewed and approved by all substantial contributors to the affected files: Bobby Bingham, John Spencer (rofl0r), Nicholas J. Kain, Rich Felker, Richard Pennington, Stefan Kristiansson, and Szabolcs Nagy.

2013-08-14add arm-optimized memcpy implementation from bionic libcRich Felker-0/+4
the approach of this implementation was heavily investigated prior to adopting it. attempts to obtain similar performance with pure C code were capping out at about 75% of the performance of the asm, with considerably larger code size, and were fragile in that the compiler would sometimes compile part of memcpy into a call to itself. therefore, just using the asm seems to be the best option. this commit is the first to make use of the new subarch-specific asm framework. the new armel directory is the location for arm asm that should not be used for all arm subarchs, only the default one. armhf is the name of the little-endian hardfloat-ABI subarch, which can use the exact same asm. in both cases, the build system finds the asm by following a memcpy.sub file. the other two subarchs, armeb and armebhf, would need a big-endian variant of this code. it would not be hard to adapt the code to big endian, but I will hold off on doing so until there is demand for it.

2011-04-27replace heap sort with smoothsort implementation by Valentin OchsRich Felker-0/+4
Smoothsort is an adaptive variant of heapsort. This version was written by Valentin Ochs (apo) specifically for inclusion in musl. I worked with him to get it working in O(1) memory usage even with giant array element widths, and to optimize it heavily for size and speed. It's still roughly 4 times as large as the old heap sort implementation, but roughly 20 times faster given an almost-sorted array of 1M elements (20 being the base-2 log of 1M), i.e. it really does reduce O(n log n) to O(n) in the mostly-sorted case. It's still somewhat slower than glibc's Introsort for random input, but now considerably faster than glibc when the input is already sorted, or mostly sorted.
