2014-02-09clone: make clone a wrapper around __cloneBobby Bingham-3/+0
The architecture-specific assembly versions of clone did not set errno on failure, which is inconsistent with glibc. __clone still returns the error via its return value, and clone is now a wrapper that sets errno as needed. The public clone has also been moved to src/linux, as it's not directly related to the pthreads API. __clone is called by pthread_create, which does not report errors via errno. Though not strictly necessary, it's nice to avoid clobbering errno here.
2012-09-27fix arm clone syscall bug (no effect unless app uses clone)Rich Felker-2/+1
the code to exit the new thread/process after the start function returns was mixed up in its syscall convention.

2011-09-18initial commit of the arm portRich Felker-0/+35
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.
