2012-12-05remove mips setjmp/longjmp code to save/restore fenvRich Felker-3/+1
nothing in the standard requires or even allows the fenv state to be restored by longjmp. restoring the exception flags is not such a big deal since it's probably valid to clobber them completely, but restoring the rounding mode yields an observable side effect not sanctioned by ISO C. saving/restoring it also wastes a few cycles and 16 bytes of code. as for historical behavior, reportedly SGI IRIX did save/restore fenv, and this is where glibc and uClibc got the behavior from. a few other systems save/restore it too (on archs other than mips), even though this is apparently wrong. further details are documented here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~williams/archive/computation/setjmp-fpmode.html as musl aims for standards conformance rather than coddling historical programs expecting non-conforming behavior, and as it's unlikely that any historical programs actually depend on the incorrect behavior (such programs would break on other archs, anyway), I'm making the change not to save/restore fenv on mips.
2012-07-22add floating point register saving/restoring to mips setjmp/longjmpRich Felker-1/+15
also fix the alignment of jmp_buf to meet the abi. linux always emulates fpu on mips if it's not present, so enabling this code unconditionally is "safe" but may be slow. in the long term it may be preferable to find a way to disable it on soft float builds.
2012-07-11initial version of mips (o32) port, based on work by Richard Pennington (rdp)Rich Felker-0/+25
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction and pipe syscall interfaces on mips. at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.
