2015-11-02properly access mcontext_t program counter in cancellation handlerRich Felker-1/+1
using the actual mcontext_t definition rather than an overlaid pointer array both improves correctness/readability and eliminates some ugly hacks for archs with 64-bit registers bit 32-bit program counter. also fix UB due to comparison of pointers not in a common array object.
2015-09-15fix namespace violations in aarch64/bits/termios.hFelix Janda-7/+7
in analogy with commit a627eb35864d5c29a3c3300dfe83745ab1e7a00f
2015-08-11aarch64: fix 64-bit syscall argument passingSzabolcs Nagy-4/+2
On 32bit systems long long arguments are passed in a special way to some syscalls; this accidentally got copied to the AArch64 port. The following interfaces were broken: fallocate, fanotify, ftruncate, posix_fadvise, posix_fallocate, pread, pwrite, readahead, sync_file_range, truncate.
2015-05-22add .text section directive to all crt_arch.h files missing itRich Felker-0/+1
i386 and x86_64 versions already had the .text directive; other archs did not. normally, top-level (file scope) __asm__ starts in the .text section anyway, but problems were reported with some versions of clang, and it seems preferable to set it explicitly anyway, at least for the sake of consistency between archs.
2015-04-30fix __syscall declaration with wrong visibility in syscall_arch.hSzabolcs Nagy-2/+0
remove __syscall declaration where it is not needed (aarch64, arm, microblaze, or1k) and add the hidden attribute where it is (mips).
2015-04-30aarch64: fix CRTJMP in reloc.hSzabolcs Nagy-1/+1
commit f3ddd173806fd5c60b3f034528ca24542aecc5b9 broke the build by using "bx" instead of "br".
2015-04-13dynamic linker bootstrap overhaulRich Felker-30/+21
this overhaul further reduces the amount of arch-specific code needed by the dynamic linker and removes a number of assumptions, including: - that symbolic function references inside libc are bound at link time via the linker option -Bsymbolic-functions. - that libc functions used by the dynamic linker do not require access to data symbols. - that static/internal function calls and data accesses can be made without performing any relocations, or that arch-specific startup code handled any such relocations needed. removing these assumptions paves the way for allowing libc.so itself to be built with stack protector (among other things), and is achieved by a three-stage bootstrap process: 1. relative relocations are processed with a flat function. 2. symbolic relocations are processed with no external calls/data. 3. main program and dependency libs are processed with a fully-functional libc/ldso. reduction in arch-specific code is achived through the following: - crt_arch.h, used for generating crt1.o, now provides the entry point for the dynamic linker too. - asm is no longer responsible for skipping the beginning of argv[] when ldso is invoked as a command. - the functionality previously provided by __reloc_self for heavily GOT-dependent RISC archs is now the arch-agnostic stage-1. - arch-specific relocation type codes are mapped directly as macros rather than via an inline translation function/switch statement.
2015-04-01aarch64: remove duplicate macro definitions in bits/fcntl.hRich Felker-3/+0
2015-04-01aarch64: fix definition of sem_nsems in semid_ds structureRich Felker-1/+7
POSIX requires the sem_nsems member to have type unsigned short. we have to work around the incorrect kernel type using matching endian-specific padding.
2015-04-01aarch64: fix namespace pollution in bits/shm.hSzabolcs Nagy-2/+2
The shm_info struct is a gnu extension and some of its members do not have shm* prefix. This is worked around in sys/shm.h by macros, but aarch64 didn't use those.
2015-03-20fix missing max_align_t definition on aarch64Rich Felker-0/+2
2015-03-18fix MINSIGSTKSZ values for archs with large signal contextsRich Felker-0/+5
the previous values (2k min and 8k default) were too small for some archs. aarch64 reserves 4k in the signal context for future extensions and requires about 4.5k total, and powerpc reportedly uses over 2k. the new minimums are chosen to fit the saved context and also allow a minimal signal handler to run. since the default (SIGSTKSZ) has always been 6k larger than the minimum, it is also increased to maintain the 6k usable by the signal handler. this happens to be able to store one pathname buffer and should be sufficient for calling any function in libc that doesn't involve conversion between floating point and decimal representations. x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) may also need a larger minimum (around 2.5k) in the future to support avx-512, but the values on these archs are left alone for now pending further analysis. the value for PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is not increased to match MINSIGSTKSZ at this time. this is so as not to preclude applications from using extremely small thread stacks when they know they will not be handling signals. unfortunately cancellation and multi-threaded set*id() use signals as an implementation detail and therefore require a stack large enough for a signal context, so applications which use extremely small thread stacks may still need to avoid using these features.
2015-03-14aarch64: fix typo in bits/ioctl.hSzabolcs Nagy-1/+1
2015-03-14aarch64: add struct _aarch64_ctx to signal.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+17
The unwind code in libgcc uses this type for unwinding across signal handlers. On aarch64 the kernel may place a sequence of structs on the signal stack on top of the ucontext to provide additional information. The unwinder only needs the header, but added all the types the kernel currently defines for this mechanism because they are part of the uapi.
2015-03-11add aarch64 portSzabolcs Nagy-0/+1814
This adds complete aarch64 target support including bigendian subarch. Some of the long double math functions are known to be broken otherwise interfaces should be fully functional, but at this point consider this port experimental. Initial work on this port was done by Sireesh Tripurari and Kevin Bortis.
