2013-02-20add mkostemp, mkstemps, and mkostemps functions and reorganize temp internalsRich Felker-0/+8
based on patch contributed by Anthony G. Basile (blueness) some issues remain with the filename generation algorithm and other small bugs, but this patch has been sitting around long enough that I feel it's best to get it committed and then work out any remaining issues.
2013-02-17add fgetgrent functionRich Felker-0/+4
based on patch by Isaac Dunham, moved to its own file to avoid increasing bss on static linked programs not using this nonstandard function but using the standard getgrent function, and vice versa.
2013-02-01pthread stack treatment overhaul for application-provided stacks, etc.Rich Felker-2/+2
the main goal of these changes is to address the case where an application provides a stack of size N, but TLS has size M that's a significant portion of the size N (or even larger than N), thus giving the application less stack space than it expected or no stack at all! the new strategy pthread_create now uses is to only put TLS on the application-provided stack if TLS is smaller than 1/8 of the stack size or 2k, whichever is smaller. this ensures that the application always has "close enough" to what it requested, and the threshold is chosen heuristically to make sure "sane" amounts of TLS still end up in the application-provided stack. if TLS does not fit the above criteria, pthread_create uses mmap to obtain space for TLS, but still uses the application-provided stack for actual call frame stack. this is to avoid wasting memory, and for the sake of supporting ugly hacks like garbage collection based on assumptions that the implementation will use the provided stack range. in order for the above heuristics to ever succeed, the amount of TLS space wasted on POSIX TSD (pthread_key_create based) needed to be reduced. otherwise, these changes would preclude any use of pthread_create without mmap, which would have serious memory usage and performance costs for applications trying to create huge numbers of threads using pre-allocated stack space. the new value of PTHREAD_KEYS_MAX is the minimum allowed by POSIX, 128. this should still be plenty more than real-world applications need, especially now that C11/gcc-style TLS is now supported in musl, and most apps and libraries choose to use that instead of POSIX TSD when available. at the same time, PTHREAD_STACK_MIN has been decreased. it was originally set to PAGE_SIZE back when there was no support for TLS or application-provided stacks, and requests smaller than a whole page did not make sense. now, there are two good reasons to support requests smaller than a page: (1) applications could provide pre-allocated stacks smaller than a page, and (2) with smaller stack sizes, stack+TLS+TSD can all fit in one page, making it possible for applications which need huge numbers of threads with minimal stack needs to allocate exactly one page per thread. the new value of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN, 2k, is aligned with the minimum size for sigaltstack.
2013-01-31SOL_TCP is nonstandard and not in the reserved namespaceRich Felker-2/+1
alternatively, we could define it in sys/socket.h since SO* is reserved there, and tcp.h includes sys/socket.h in extensions mode. note that SOL_TCP is simply wrong and it's only here for compatibility with broken applications. the correct argument to pass for setting TCP socket options is IPPROTO_TCP, which of course has the same value as SOL_TCP but works everywhere.
2013-01-23add RTLD_NODELETE flag for dlopenRich Felker-0/+1
this is a trivial no-op, because dlclose never deletes libraries. thus we might as well have it in the header in case some application wants it, since we're already providing it anyway.
2013-01-23add support for RTLD_NOLOAD to dlopenRich Felker-0/+1
based on patch by Pierre Carrier <pierre@gcarrier.fr> that just added the flag constant, but with minimal additional code so that it actually works as documented. this is a nonstandard option but some major software (reportedly, Firefox) uses it and it was easy to add anyway.
2013-01-18use a common definition of NULL as 0L for C and C++Rich Felker-49/+8
the historical mess of having different definitions for C and C++ comes from the historical C definition as (void *)0 and the fact that (void *)0 can't be used in C++ because it does not convert to other pointer types implicitly. however, using plain 0 in C++ exposed bugs in C++ programs that call variadic functions with NULL as an argument and (wrongly; this is UB) expect it to arrive as a null pointer. on 64-bit machines, the high bits end up containing junk. glibc dodges the issue by using a GCC extension __null to define NULL; this is observably non-conforming because a conforming application could observe the definition of NULL via stringizing and see that it is neither an integer constant expression with value zero nor such an expression cast to void. switching to 0L eliminates the issue and provides compatibility with broken applications, since on all musl targets, long and pointers have the same size, representation, and argument-passing convention. we could maintain separate C and C++ definitions of NULL (i.e. just use 0L on C++ and use (void *)0 on C) but after careful analysis, it seems extremely difficult for a C program to even determine whether NULL has integer or pointer type, much less depend in subtle, unintentional ways, on whether it does. C89 seems to have no way to make the distinction. on C99, the fact that (int)(void *)0 is not an integer constant expression, along with subtle VLA/sizeof semantics, can be used to make the distinction, but many compilers are non-conforming and give the wrong result to this test anyway. on C11, _Generic can trivially make the distinction, but it seems unlikely that code targetting C11 would be so backwards in caring which definition of NULL an implementation uses. as such, the simplest path of using the same definition for NULL in both C and C++ was chosen. the #undef directive was also removed so that the compiler can catch and give a warning or error on redefinition if buggy programs have defined their own versions of NULL prior to inclusion of standard headers.
2013-01-12add MOD_TAI to sys/timex.h and update STA_RONLYSzabolcs Nagy-1/+2
2013-01-12add SWAP_FLAG_DISCARD to sys/swap.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+1
2013-01-12add mount flags to sys/mount.hSzabolcs Nagy-4/+22
added various MS_*, MNT_*, UMOUNT_* flags following the linux headers, with one exception: MS_NOUSER is defined as (1U<<31) instead of (1<<31) which invokes undefined behaviour the S_* flags were removed following glibc
2013-01-12add IN_EXCL_UNLINK to sys/inotify.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+1
2013-01-12add EPOLLWAKEUP flag to sys/epoll.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+1
2013-01-12add RB_SW_SUSPEND and RB_KEXEC to sys/reboot.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+2
using the glibc names for the magic constants of the linux reboot syscall
2013-01-12add missing ptrace requests and options to sys/ptrace.hSzabolcs Nagy-1/+9
2013-01-12add missing multicast socket options to netinet/in.hSzabolcs Nagy-0/+17
based on linux headers add the missing MCAST_* options under _GNU_SOURCE as they are not in the reserved namespace (this api was originally specified by RFC 3678)
2013-01-12add missing protocol families to sys/socket.hSzabolcs Nagy-1/+11
missing protocol families based on current linux headers: PF_RDS, PF_LLC, PF_CAN, PF_TIPC, PF_NFC
2013-01-10fix another case of cloexec/nonblock flags not matching arch valuesRich Felker-2/+3
2013-01-04setjmp.h: add struct tag for sigjmp_buf (GCC C++ compatibility)rofl0r-1/+1
the anonymous struct typedef with array notation breaks with GCC in C++ mode: error: non-local function 'static<anonymous struct> (& boost::signal_handler::jump_buffer())[1]' uses anonymous type this is a known GCC issue, as search results for that error msg suggest. since this is hard to work around in the calling C++ code, a fix in musl is preferable.
2013-01-04add legacy header values.hrofl0r-0/+40
some programs (procps, babl) expect it, and it doesn't seem to cause any harm to just add it. it's small and straightforward. since math.h also defines MAXFLOAT, we undef it in both places, before defining it.
2013-01-04time.h: add BSD aliases for otherwise internal struct tm membersrofl0r-0/+4
2013-01-04wait.h: add linux specific, thread-related waitpid() flagsrofl0r-0/+4
these flags are needed in order to be able to handle lwp id's which the kernel returns after clone() calls for new threads via ptrace(PTRACE_GETEVENTMSG). fortunately, they're the same for all archs and in the reserved namespace.
2013-01-04__assert_fail(): remove _Noreturn, to get proper stacktracesrofl0r-1/+1
for _Noreturn functions, gcc generates code that trashes the stack frame, and so it makes it impossible to inspect the causes of an assert error in gdb. abort() is not affected (i have not yet investigated why).
2013-01-01add some new-ish IPPROTO constants that were missingRich Felker-0/+3
2012-12-28expose [v]asprintf under _BSD_SOURCERich Felker-2/+2
reported/requested by Strake; simplified from the provided patch
2012-12-27align EPOLL_* flags with fcntl O_* flag definitions, which vary by archRich Felker-2/+3
the old definitions were wrong on some archs. actually, EPOLL_NONBLOCK probably should not even be defined; it is not accepted by the kernel and it's not clear to me whether it has any use at all, even if it did work. this issue should be revisited at some point, but I'm leaving it in place for now in case some applications reference it.
2012-12-26add linux extension POLLRDHUP to poll.hRich Felker-0/+1
the POLL prefix is in the reserved namespace for poll.h, so no feature test macro checks are needed.
2012-12-19merge a few fixes by sh4rm4Rich Felker-0/+22
2012-12-19socket.h: add SO_(SND/RCV)BUFFORCE to generic blockrofl0r-0/+2
2012-12-19math: more correct tgmath.h type cast logicSzabolcs Nagy-32/+17
__IS_FP is a portable integer constant expression now (uses that unsigned long long is larger than float) the result casting logic should work now on all compilers supporting typeof
2012-12-19add inet_network (required for wine)rofl0r-0/+1
2012-12-19link.h: expose glibc/svr4 dynlinker debugging gluerofl0r-0/+19
this is already implemented in the dynliker (see struct debug), but was not exposed. we need it to do so to make wine happy...
2012-12-19math: new type cast logic in tgmath.hSzabolcs Nagy-25/+58
* return type logic is simplified a bit and fixed (see below) * return type of conj and cproj were wrong on int arguments * added comments about the pending issues (usually we don't have comments in public headers but this is not the biggest issue with tgmath.h) casting the result to the right type cannot be done in c99 (c11 _Generic can solve this but that is not widely supported), so the typeof extension of gcc is used and that the ?: operator has special semantics when one of the operands is a null pointer constant the standard is very strict about the definition of null pointer constants so typeof with ?: is still not enough so compiler specific workaround is used for now on gcc '!1.0' is a null pointer constant so we can use the old __IS_FP logic (eventhough it's non-standard) on clang (and on gcc as well) 'sizeof(void)-1' is a null pointer constant so we can use !(sizeof(*(0?(int*)0:(void*)__IS_FP(x)))-1) (this is non-standard as well), the old logic is used by default and this new one on clang
2012-12-15Merge remote-tracking branch 'nsz/math'Rich Felker-17/+9
2012-12-15add some missing macros to sys/shm.hRich Felker-0/+3
these are not specified in the standard, but in the reserved namespace, so there is no problem with defining them unconditionally.
2012-12-14fixed tgmath.h for functions with integral resultSzabolcs Nagy-7/+9
in tgmath.h the return values are casted to the appropriate floating-point type (if the compiler supports gcc __typeof__), this is wrong in case of ilogb, lrint, llrint, lround, llround which do not need such cast
2012-12-13add missing flags in sys/timerfd.hRich Felker-0/+6
2012-12-11math: remove long double version of bessel functions from math.hSzabolcs Nagy-8/+0
j0l,j1l,jnl,y0l,j1l,jnl are gnu extensions, bsd and posix do not have them. noone seems to use them and there is no plan to implement them any time soon so we shouldn't declare them in math.h.
2012-12-11make CMPLX macros available in complex.h in non-c11 mode as wellSzabolcs Nagy-2/+0
2012-12-10fix regressions in app compatibility from previous sys/ipc.h changesRich Felker-0/+5
despite glibc using __key and __seq rather than key and seq, some applications, notably busybox, assume the names are key and seq unless glibc is being used. and the names key and seq are really the ones that _should_ be exposed when not attempting to present a standards-conforming namespace; apps should not be using names that begin with double-underscore. thus, the optimal fix is to use key and seq as the actual names of the members when in bsd/gnu source profile, and define macros for __key and __seq that redirect to plain key and seq.
2012-12-10syscall() declaration belongs in unistd.h, not sys/syscall.hRich Felker-10/+1
traditionally, both BSD and GNU systems have it this way. sys/syscall.h is purely syscall number macros. presently glibc exposes the syscall declaration in unistd.h only with _GNU_SOURCE, but that does not reflect historical practice.
2012-12-06fix names of ipc_perm __key/__seq elementsRich Felker-6/+2
previously the names were exposed as key/seq with _GNU_SOURCE and __ipc_perm_key/__ipc_perm/seq otherwise, whereas glibc always uses __key and __seq for the names. thus, the old behavior never matched glibc, and the new behavior always does, regardless of feature test macros. for now, i'm leaving the renaming here in sys/ipc.h where it's easy to change globally for all archs, in case something turns out to be wrong, but eventually the names could just be incorporated directly into the bits headers for each arch and the renaming removed.
2012-12-06fix F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC being defined twicerofl0r-1/+0
2012-12-06fixup for fcntl.h changesrofl0r-16/+15
2012-12-06add personality syscallrofl0r-0/+6
2012-12-06add sigandset and sigorset (needed for qemu)rofl0r-0/+3
2012-12-06add struct msgbuf to sys/msg.hrofl0r-0/+7
2012-12-06unistd.h: fix wrong type for gid_t argumentrofl0r-1/+1
the prototype is defined with const gid_t* rather than const gid_t[]. it was already correctly defined in grp.h.
2012-12-06ipc.h: fix gnu aliases for key and seq in struct ipc_permrofl0r-2/+4
the macro was the wrong way round, additionally GNU defines __ prefixed versions, which are used by qemu.
2012-12-06add obsolete futimesat()rofl0r-0/+1
this function is obsolete, however it's available as a syscall and as such qemu userspace emulation tries to forward it to the host kernel.
2012-12-06fcntl.h: add some linux-specific F_ macrosrofl0r-0/+17
thankfully these are all generic across archs. the DN_ macros are for usage with F_NOTIFY.
