* improve gcc wrapper to support -nostdlib, -nostartfilesRich Felker2012-02-021-1/+1
* make stdio open, read, and write operations cancellation points•••it should be noted that only the actual underlying buffer flush and fill operations are cancellable, not reads from or writes to the buffer. this behavior is compatible with POSIX, which makes all cancellation points in stdio optional, and it achieves the goal of allowing cancellation of a thread that's "stuck" on IO (due to a non-responsive socket/pipe peer, slow/stuck hardware, etc.) without imposing any measurable performance cost. Rich Felker2012-02-023-5/+28
* make passwd/group functions safe against cancellation in stdio•••these changes are a prerequisite to making stdio cancellable. Rich Felker2012-02-014-6/+35
* apparently gnu caddr_t is supposed to be char *, not unsigned long•••this type should never be used anyway, but some old junk uses it.. Rich Felker2012-02-011-1/+1
* fix utmp.h mess, try 2Rich Felker2012-02-011-1/+1
* fix previous utmp.h junk commitRich Felker2012-01-311-1/+1
* add some missing junk in utmp.hRich Felker2012-01-311-0/+4
* add fgetpwent (nonstandard function)•••based on patch by Jeremy Huntwork Rich Felker2012-01-292-0/+14
* add linux setfs[ug]id syscall wrappers•••patch by Jeremy Huntwork Rich Felker2012-01-283-0/+36
* remove useless "extern" keywords in headersRich Felker2012-01-263-3/+3
* fix typo in FPE_FLTUND definition, signal.hRich Felker2012-01-251-1/+1
* add MIN/MAX macros to sys/param.h•••this is a nonstandard junk header anyway, so just do what apps expect.. Rich Felker2012-01-241-0/+5
* add legacy futimes and lutimes functions•••based on patch by sh4rm4. these functions are deprecated; futimens and utimensat should be used instead in new programs. Rich Felker2012-01-243-0/+28
* make gcc wrapper support -shared correctly•••it was previously attempting to link start files as part of shared objects. this is definitely wrong and depending on the platform and linker could range from just adding extraneous junk to introducing textrels to making linking fail entirely. Rich Felker2012-01-241-2/+7
* make glob mark symlinks-to-directories with the GLOB_MARK flag•••POSIX is unclear on whether it should, but all historical implementations seem to behave this way, and it seems more useful to applications. Rich Felker2012-01-231-1/+1
* fix broken copy relocations from dynamic linker cleanup•••this issue affected programs which use global variables exported by non-libc libraries. Rich Felker2012-01-231-1/+4
* dynamic linker support for PIE binaries (position-independent main program)•••even with this change, PIE will not work yet due to deficiencies in the crt1.o startup code. Rich Felker2012-01-231-3/+6
* cleanup dynamic linker, removing some code duplicationRich Felker2012-01-231-78/+64
* update release notes for 0.8.4Rich Felker2012-01-231-3/+5
* fix cancellation failure in single-threaded programs•••even a single-threaded program can be cancellable, e.g. if it's called pthread_cancel(pthread_self()). the correct predicate to check is not whether multiple threads have been invoked, but whether pthread_self has been invoked. Rich Felker2012-01-221-1/+1
* support GLOB_PERIOD flag (GNU extension) to glob function•••patch by sh4rm4 Rich Felker2012-01-221-1/+2
* update WHATSNEW in preparation for 0.8.4 (not finished)Rich Felker2012-01-221-0/+30
* use prlimit syscall for getrlimit/setrlimit•••this allows the full range of 64-bit limit arguments even on 32-bit systems. fallback to the old syscalls on old kernels that don't support prlimit. Rich Felker2012-01-202-4/+14
* add prlimit syscall wrapperRich Felker2012-01-203-0/+18
* fix dynamic linker not to depend on DYNAMIC ptr in 0th entry of GOT•••this fixes an issue using gold instead of gnu ld for linking. it also should eliminate the need of the startup code to even load/pass the got address to the dynamic linker. based on patch submitted by sh4rm4 with minor cosmetic changes. further cleanup will follow. Rich Felker2012-01-201-3/+12
* alias basename to glibc name for it, to meet abi goals•••note that regardless of the name used, basename is always conformant. it never takes on the bogus gnu behavior, unlike glibc where basename is nonconformant when declared manually without including libgen.h. Rich Felker2012-01-181-0/+3
* fix char signedness bug in dynlinker hash function•••this only affects non-ascii symbol names, which are probably not in use anyway.. Rich Felker2012-01-171-1/+2
* fix broken reboot wrapper (syscall needs extra silly magic arguments...)Rich Felker2011-12-231-1/+1
* fix issue with excessive mremap syscalls on realloc•••CHUNK_SIZE macro was defined incorrectly and shaving off at least one significant bit in the size of mmapped chunks, resulting in the test for oldlen==newlen always failing and incurring a syscall. fortunately i don't think this issue caused any other observable behavior; the definition worked correctly for all non-mmapped chunks where its correctness matters more, since their lengths are always multiples of the alignment. Rich Felker2011-11-161-4/+2
* fix __cplusplus extern "C" closing brace in pty.h (typo?)Rich Felker2011-11-101-1/+1
* fix signed overflows at most-negative values in ato(i|l|ll)•••patch by Pascal Cuoq (with minor tweaks to comments) Rich Felker2011-11-103-6/+9
* fix all missing instances of __cplusplus checks/extern "C" in headers•••patch by Arvid Picciani (aep) Rich Felker2011-11-1021-1/+166
* report sem value overflows in sem_post•••this is not required by the standard, but it's nicer than corrupting the state and rather inexpensive. Rich Felker2011-10-261-0/+4
* add some missing GNU FNM_* extensions to the header•••note that none of these are implemented, and programs depending on them may break... patch by sh4rm4 Rich Felker2011-10-171-1/+3
* fix some details in ugly stuff that doesn't belong in libc•••patches by sh4rm4, presumably needed to make gdb or some similar junk happy... Rich Felker2011-10-172-6/+8
* don't define wchar_t on c++•••it's a keyword in c++ (wtf). i'm not sure this is the cleanest solution; it might be better to avoid ever defining __NEED_wchar_t on c++. but in any case, this works for now. Rich Felker2011-10-153-0/+6
* support vfork on i386Rich Felker2011-10-141-0/+14
* make available a namespace-safe vfork, if supported•••this may be useful to posix_spawn..? Rich Felker2011-10-141-1/+4
* add dummy __cxa_finalize•••musl's dynamic linker does not support unloading dsos, so there's nothing for this function to do. adding the symbol in case anything depends on its presence.. Rich Felker2011-10-141-0/+4
* support __cxa_atexit, and registering atexit functions from atexit handlers•••mildly tested; may have bugs. the locking should be updated not to use spinlocks but that's outside the scope of this one module. Rich Felker2011-10-141-7/+26
* simplify atexit and fflush-on-exit handlingRich Felker2011-10-143-9/+12
* fix F_GETOWN return value handling•••the fcntl syscall can return a negative value when the command is F_GETOWN, and this is not an error code but an actual value. thus we must special-case it and avoid calling __syscall_ret to set errno. this fix is better than the glibc fix (using F_GETOWN_EX) which only works on newer kernels and is more complex. Rich Felker2011-10-091-0/+1
* fix typo in arm clone() asmRich Felker2011-10-091-1/+1
* fix fcntl O_* flags for arm•••no idea why these 4 are permuted and the rest are standard/generic Rich Felker2011-10-051-4/+4
* make [U]INTn_C() macros have the right type...•••...and still be valid in #if directives. Rich Felker2011-10-041-4/+4
* recovering ownerdead robust mutex must reset recursive lock countRich Felker2011-10-031-0/+1
* simplify robust mutex unlock code path•••right now it's questionable whether this change is an improvement or not, but if we later want to support priority inheritance mutexes, it will be important to have the code paths unified like this to avoid major code duplication. Rich Felker2011-10-031-4/+4
* fix crash if pthread_mutex_unlock is called without ever locking•••this is valid for error-checking mutexes; otherwise it invokes UB and would be justified in crashing. Rich Felker2011-10-031-1/+1
* use count=0 instead of 1 for recursive mutex with only one lock reference•••this simplifies the code paths slightly, but perhaps what's nicer is that it makes recursive mutexes fully reentrant, i.e. locking and unlocking from a signal handler works even if the interrupted code was in the middle of locking or unlocking. Rich Felker2011-10-032-4/+2
* sysconf for PTHREAD_KEYS_MAXRich Felker2011-10-031-1/+1
