2011-03-19honor namespace for i386 syscall.h, even though it's not a standard headerRich Felker-50/+50
2011-03-19fix typo in x86_64 part of syscall overhaulRich Felker-1/+1
2011-03-19syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interfaceRich Felker-284/+205
with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6 arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the casts are hidden in the macros. some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall() instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL have also been changed. x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any minor bugs/oversights.
2011-03-19overhaul syscall interfaceRich Felker-736/+1494
this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and __NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs the actual inline syscalls in the library itself. previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers. further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.

this commit is part of an effort to make more of busybox work out-of-the-box.
2011-03-17optimize contended normal mutex case; add int compare-and-swap atomicRich Felker-0/+14
2011-03-11match dimensions so we can use all slots without invoking OOB-array-accessRich Felker-10/+10

2011-02-20resolve some header namespace non-issuesRich Felker-1/+0
after re-reading 2.2.2 of POSIX 2008, all of these are in the correct reserved namespaces and do not need protection.

2011-02-19add missing WIFCONTINUED macro and improve WIFSIGNALEDRich Felker-2/+4
2011-02-18support the ugly and deprecated ucontext and sigcontext header stuff...Rich Felker-0/+66
only the structures, not the functions from ucontext.h, are supported at this point. the main goal of this commit is to make modern gcc with dwarf2 unwinding build without errors. honestly, it probably doesn't matter how we define these as long as they have members with the right names to prevent errors while compiling libgcc. the only time they will be used is for propagating exceptions across signal-handler boundaries, which invokes undefined behavior anyway. but as-is, they're probably correct and may be useful to various low-level applications dealing with virtualization, jit code generation, and so on...
2011-02-17reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.hRich Felker-0/+30
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.

2011-02-15remove standalone syscall cruftRich Felker-22/+2
this was originally written for an early draft of the library where non-standard functions would reside in a static library separate from the shared libc.so, which would implement a pure standard. the idea was not to depend on an implementation-dependent __syscall_ret function in the main libc. but it turned out to be better to put everything in a single library for both static and dynamic linking uses, and thus the (incomplete) remnants of this feature were just enlarging the source and binary.
