2014-04-30	fix arm thread-pointer/atomic asm when compiling to thumb code	Rich Felker	-3/+2
	armv7/thumb2 provides a way to do atomics in thumb mode, but for armv6 we need a call to arm mode. this commit is based on a patch by Stephen Thomas which fixed the armv7 cases but not the armv6 ones. all of this should be revisited if/when runtime selection of thread pointer access and atomics are added.
2014-04-07	use inline atomics and thread pointer on arm models supporting them	Rich Felker	-1/+15
	this is perhaps not the optimal implementation; a_cas still compiles to nested loops due to the different interface contracts of the kuser helper cas function (whose contract this patch implements) and the a_cas function (whose contract mimics the x86 cmpxchg). fixing this may be possible, but it's more complicated and thus deferred until a later time. aside from improving performance and code size, this patch also provides a means of producing binaries which can run on hardened kernels where the kuser helpers have been disabled. however, at present this requires producing binaries for armv6k or later, which will not run on older cpus. a real solution to the problem of kernels that omit the kuser helpers would be runtime detection, so that universal binaries which run on all arm cpu models can also be compatible with all kernel hardening profiles. robust detection however is a much harder problem, and will be addressed at a later time.
2012-10-15	add support for TLS variant I, presently needed for arm and mips	Rich Felker	-3/+6
	despite documentation that makes it sound a lot different, the only ABI-constraint difference between TLS variants II and I seems to be that variant II stores the initial TLS segment immediately below the thread pointer (i.e. the thread pointer points to the end of it) and variant I stores the initial TLS segment above the thread pointer, requiring the thread descriptor to be stored below. the actual value stored in the thread pointer register also tends to have per-arch random offsets applied to it for silly micro-optimization purposes. with these changes applied, TLS should be basically working on all supported archs except microblaze. I'm still working on getting the necessary information and a working toolchain that can build TLS binaries for microblaze, but in theory, static-linked programs with TLS and dynamic-linked programs where only the main executable uses TLS should already work on microblaze. alignment constraints have not yet been heavily tested, so it's possible that this code does not always align TLS segments correctly on archs that need TLS variant I.
2012-02-25	use __attribute__((const)) on arm __pthread_self function	Rich Felker	-1/+3

2011-09-22	"optimize" arm __pthread_self	Rich Felker	-4/+1
	actually this is just to avoid gcc being stupid and refusing to inline the function version, even when the size cost is essentially identical whether it's inlined or not.
2011-09-18	initial commit of the arm port	Rich Felker	-0/+7
	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.
