* implement wcsftime functionRich Felker2012-02-281-0/+32
* fix pthread_cleanup_pop(1) crash in non-thread-capable, static-linked programsRich Felker2012-02-282-2/+2
* work around "signal loses thread pointer" issue with "approach 2"•••this was discussed on the mailing list and no consensus on the preferred solution was reached, so in anticipation of a release, i'm just committing a minimally-invasive solution that avoids the problem by ensuring that multi-threaded-capable programs will always have initialized the thread pointer before any signal handler can run. in the long term we may switch to initializing the thread pointer at program start time whenever the program has the potential to access any per-thread data. Rich Felker2012-02-272-2/+8
* new attempt at working around the gcc 3 visibility bug•••since gcc is failing to generate the necessary ".hidden" directive in the output asm, generate it explicitly with an __asm__ statement... Rich Felker2012-02-243-0/+11
* remove useless attribute visibility from definitions•••this was a failed attempt at working around the gcc 3 visibility bug affecting x86_64. subsequent patch will address it with an ugly but working hack. Rich Felker2012-02-242-2/+2
* cleanup and work around visibility bug in gcc 3 that affects x86_64•••in gcc 3, the visibility attribute must be placed on both the declaration and on the definition. if it's omitted from the definition, the compiler fails to emit the ".hidden" directive in the assembly, and the linker will either generate textrels (if supported, such as on i386) or refuse to link (on targets where certain types of textrels are forbidden or impossible without further assumptions about memory layout, such as on x86_64). this patch also unifies the decision about when to use visibility into libc.h and makes the visibility in the utf-8 state machine tables based on libc.h rather than a duplicate test. Rich Felker2012-02-234-12/+15
* fix (hopefully) PTRACE_TRACEME (command 0) argument handlingRich Felker2012-02-231-2/+2
* fix for previous incorrect fix of cancellation in dns lookups•••uninitialized file descriptor was being closed on return, causing stdin to be closed in many cases. Rich Felker2012-02-231-3/+4
* fix get_current_dir_name behaviorRich Felker2012-02-171-2/+6
* add get_current_dir_name functionRich Felker2012-02-171-0/+12
* fix default nameserver when resolv.conf doesn't existRich Felker2012-02-111-1/+2
* fix illegal goto out of cleanup context in dns lookupsRich Felker2012-02-111-3/+3
* small fix for new pthread cleanup stuff•••even if pthread_create/exit code is not linked, run flag needs to be checked and cleanup function potentially run on pop. thus, move the code to the module that's always linked when pthread_cleanup_push/pop is used. Rich Felker2012-02-092-1/+1
* replace bad cancellation cleanup abi with a sane one•••the old abi was intended to duplicate glibc's abi at the expense of being ugly and slow, but it turns out glib was not even using that abi except on non-gcc-compatible compilers (which it doesn't even support) and was instead using an exceptions-in-c/unwind-based approach whose abi we could not duplicate anyway without nasty dwarf2/unwind integration. the new abi is copied from a very old glibc abi, which seems to still be supported/present in current glibc. it avoids all unwinding, whether by sjlj or exceptions, and merely maintains a linked list of cleanup functions to be called from the context of pthread_exit. i've made some care to ensure that longjmp out of a cleanup function should work, even though it is not required to. this change breaks abi compatibility with programs which were using pthread cancellation, which is unfortunate, but that's why i'm making the change now rather than later. considering that most pthread features have not been usable until recently anyway, i don't see it as a major issue at this point.

* document iswspace and remove wrongly-included zwsp characterRich Felker2012-02-091-1/+5
* fix typo in iswspace space list tableRich Felker2012-02-091-1/+1
* protect against cancellation in dlopen•••i'm not sure that it's "correct" for dlopen to block cancellation when calling constructors for libraries it loads, but it sure seems like the right thing. in any case, dlopen itself needs cancellation blocked. Rich Felker2012-02-071-2/+5
* reduce some wasted space in dso structureRich Felker2012-02-071-3/+3
* more locale_t interfaces (string stuff) and header updates•••this should be everything except for some functions where the non-_l version isn't even implemented yet (mainly some non-ISO-C wcs* functions). Rich Felker2012-02-067-0/+48
* fix some omissions and mistakes in locale_t interface definitionsRich Felker2012-02-0613-13/+13
* add more of the locale_t interfaces, all dummied out to ignore the localeRich Felker2012-02-0618-0/+108
* x86_64 vfork implementation•••untested; should work. Rich Felker2012-02-061-0/+12
* run ctors/dtors for shared objects loaded with dlopenRich Felker2012-02-061-0/+1
* add support for init/finit (constructors and destructors)•••this is mainly in hopes of supporting c++ (not yet possible for other reasons) but will also help applications/libraries which use (and more often, abuse) the gcc __attribute__((__constructor__)) feature in "C" code. x86_64 and arm versions of the new startup asm are untested and may have minor problems. Rich Felker2012-02-061-0/+19
* add deprecated (removed from posix) [efg]cvt() functions•••these have not been heavily tested, but they should work as described in the old standards. probably broken for non-finite values... Rich Felker2012-02-063-0/+52
* include dummied-out dlopen and dlsym functions for static binaries•••these don't work (or do anything at all) but at least make it possible to static link programs that insist on "having" dynamic loading support...as long as they don't actually need to use it. adding real support for dlopen/dlsym with static linking is going to be significantly more difficult... Rich Felker2012-02-031-1/+10
* 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
* add fgetpwent (nonstandard function)•••based on patch by Jeremy Huntwork Rich Felker2012-01-291-0/+9
* add linux setfs[ug]id syscall wrappers•••patch by Jeremy Huntwork Rich Felker2012-01-282-0/+16
* 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 Felker2012-01-242-0/+26
* 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
* 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
* 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 Felker2012-01-201-0/+8
* 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 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
* 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
* 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
