2011-06-14fix race condition in pthread_killRich Felker-1/+8
if thread id was reused by the kernel between the time pthread_kill read it from the userspace pthread_t object and the time of the tgkill syscall, a signal could be sent to the wrong thread. the tgkill syscall was supposed to prevent this race (versus the old tkill syscall) but it can't; it can only help in the case where the tid is reused in a different process, but not when the tid is reused in the same process. the only solution i can see is an extra lock to prevent threads from exiting while another thread is trying to pthread_kill them. it should be very very cheap in the non-contended case.
2011-06-14run dtors before taking the exit-lock in pthread exitRich Felker-2/+2
previously a long-running dtor could cause pthread_detach to block.
2011-06-14minor locking optimizationsRich Felker-2/+2

2011-06-13fix sigset macro for 64-bit systems (<< was overflowing due to wrong type)Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-06-13remove all .size and .type directives for functions from the asmRich Felker-52/+0
these are useless and have caused problems for users trying to build with non-gnu tools like tcc's assembler.

2011-06-13fix fesetround - it was writing to status word instead of control wordRich Felker-3/+8
2011-06-12floating point environment, untestedRich Felker-0/+144
at present the i386 code does not support sse floating point, which is not part of the standard i386 abi. while it may be desirable to support it later, doing so will reduce performance and require some tricks to probe if sse support is present. this first commit is i386-only, but it should be trivial to port the asm to x86_64.
2011-06-12malloc: cast size down to int in bin_index functionsRich Felker-2/+2
even if size_t was 32-bit already, the fact that the value was unsigned and that gcc is too stupid to figure out it would be positive as a signed quantity (due to the immediately-prior arithmetic and conditionals) results in gcc compiling the integer-to-float conversion as zero extension to 64 bits followed by an "fildll" (64 bit) instruction rather than a simple "fildl" (32 bit) instruction on x86. reportedly fildll is very slow on certain p4-class machines; even if not, the new code is slightly smaller.

2011-06-06use volatile pointers for intentional-crash code.Rich Felker-3/+3
2011-06-06fix handling of d_name in struct direntRich Felker-7/+5
basically there are 3 choices for how to implement this variable-size string member: 1. C99 flexible array member: breaks using dirent.h with pre-C99 compiler. 2. old way: length-1 string: generates array bounds warnings in caller. 3. new way: length-NAME_MAX string. no problems, simplifies all code. of course the usable part in the pointer returned by readdir might be shorter than NAME_MAX+1 bytes, but that is allowed by the standard and doesn't hurt anything.
2011-06-05safety fix for glob's vla usage: disallow patterns longer than PATH_MAXRich Felker-0/+2
this actually inadvertently disallows some valid patterns with redundant / or * characters, but it's better than allowing unbounded vla allocation. eventually i'll write code to move the pattern to the stack and eliminate redundancy to ensure that it fits in PATH_MAX at the beginning of glob. this would also allow it to be modified in place for passing to fnmatch rather than copied at each level of recursion.
2011-06-05eliminate (harmless in this case) vla usage in fnmatch.cRich Felker-1/+1
2011-05-30implement pthread_[sg]etconcurrency.Rich Felker-0/+15
there is a resource limit of 0 bits to store the concurrency level requested. thus any positive level exceeds a resource limit, resulting in EAGAIN. :-)

2011-05-28posix_spawn: honor POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF flagRich Felker-1/+3
2011-05-28initial implementation of posix_spawnRich Felker-0/+151
file actions are not yet implemented, but everything else should be mostly complete and roughly correct.

2011-05-22fix brk/sbrk behavior to match the real legacy functionsRich Felker-2/+4
2011-05-11fix the last known rounding bug in floating point printingRich Felker-3/+4
the observed symptom was that the code was incorrectly rounding up 1.0625 to 1.063 despite the rounding mode being round-to-nearest with ties broken by rounding to even last place. however, the code was just not right in many respects, and i'm surprised it worked as well as it did. this time i tested the values that end up in the variables round, small, and the expression round+small, and all look good.

2011-05-07optimize out useless default-attribute object in pthread_createRich Felker-7/+7
2011-05-07optimize compound-literal sigset_t's not to contain useless hurd bitsRich Felker-5/+7
2011-05-07overhaul implementation-internal signal protectionsRich Felker-49/+31
the new approach relies on the fact that the only ways to create sigset_t objects without invoking UB are to use the sig*set() functions, or from the masks returned by sigprocmask, sigaction, etc. or in the ucontext_t argument to a signal handler. thus, as long as sigfillset and sigaddset avoid adding the "protected" signals, there is no way the application will ever obtain a sigset_t including these bits, and thus no need to add the overhead of checking/clearing them when sigprocmask or sigaction is called. note that the old code actually *failed* to remove the bits from sa_mask when sigaction was called. the new implementations are also significantly smaller, simpler, and faster due to ignoring the useless "GNU HURD signals" 65-1024, which are not used and, if there's any sanity in the world, never will be used.
2011-05-06reduce some ridiculously large spin countsRich Felker-2/+2
these should be tweaked according to testing. offhand i know 1000 is too low and 5000 is likely to be sufficiently high. consider trying to add futexes to file locking, too...
2011-05-06remove debug code that was missed in barrier commitRich Felker-1/+0
2011-05-06completely new barrier implementation, addressing major correctness issuesRich Felker-20/+48
the previous implementation had at least 2 problems: 1. the case where additional threads reached the barrier before the first wave was finished leaving the barrier was untested and seemed not to be working. 2. threads leaving the barrier continued to access memory within the barrier object after other threads had successfully returned from pthread_barrier_wait. this could lead to memory corruption or crashes if the barrier object had automatic storage in one of the waiting threads and went out of scope before all threads finished returning, or if one thread unmapped the memory in which the barrier object lived. the new implementation avoids both problems by making the barrier state essentially local to the first thread which enters the barrier wait, and forces that thread to be the last to return.
2011-05-02fix fclose return status logic, againRich Felker-1/+2
the previous fix was incorrect, as it would prevent f->close(f) from being called if fflush(f) failed. i believe this was the original motivation for using | rather than ||. so now let's just use a second statement to constrain the order of function calls, and to back to using |.
2011-05-01fix undefined call order in fclose, possible lost output depending on compilerRich Felker-1/+1
pcc turned up this bug by calling f->close(f) before fflush(f), resulting in lost output and error on flush.
2011-05-01workaround for preprocessor bug in pccRich Felker-7/+7
with this patch, musl compiles and mostly works with pcc 1.0.0. a few tests are still failing and i'm uncertain whether they are due to portability problems in musl, or bugs in pcc, but i suspect the latter.
2011-05-01minor optimization in puts: use inline putc_unlocked macro for newlineRich Felker-1/+1

2011-04-27correct variadic prototypes for execl* familyRich Felker-15/+18
the old versions worked, but conflicted with programs which declared their own prototypes and generated warnings with some versions of gcc.
