| * | apply hidden visibility to sigreturn code fragments•••these were overlooked in the declarations overhaul work because they
are not properly declared, and the current framework even allows their
declared types to vary by arch. at some point this should be cleaned
up, but I'm not sure what the right way would be.

| * | apply hidden visibility to internal time[zone] implementation functions | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -8/+8 |
| * | apply hidden visibility to internal math functions•••this makes significant differences to codegen on archs with an
expensive PLT-calling ABI; on i386 and gcc 7.3 for example, the sin
and sinf functions no longer touch call-saved registers or the stack
except for pushing outgoing arguments. performance is likely improved
too, but no measurements were taken.

| * | overhaul internally-public declarations using wrapper headers•••commits leading up to this one have moved the vast majority of
libc-internal interface declarations to appropriate internal headers,
allowing them to be type-checked and setting the stage to limit their
visibility. the ones that have not yet been moved are mostly
namespace-protected aliases for standard/public interfaces, which
exist to facilitate implementing plain C functions in terms of POSIX
functionality, or C or POSIX functionality in terms of extensions that
are not standardized. some don't quite fit this description, but are
"internally public" interfacs between subsystems of libc.
rather than create a number of newly-named headers to declare these
functions, and having to add explicit include directives for them to
every source file where they're needed, I have introduced a method of
wrapping the corresponding public headers.
parallel to the public headers in $(srcdir)/include, we now have
wrappers in $(srcdir)/src/include that come earlier in the include
path order. they include the public header they're wrapping, then add
declarations for namespace-protected versions of the same interfaces
and any "internally public" interfaces for the subsystem they
correspond to.
along these lines, the wrapper for features.h is now responsible for
the definition of the hidden, weak, and weak_alias macros. this means
source files will no longer need to include any special headers to
access these features.
over time, it is my expectation that the scope of what is "internally
public" will expand, reducing the number of source files which need to
include *_impl.h and related headers down to those which are actually
implementing the corresponding subsystems, not just using them.

| * | declare __getopt_msg in stdio_impl.h•••it's not ideal, but the function is essentially an extended stdio
function specialized to getopt's needs. the only reason it exists is
avoiding pulling printf code into every program using getopt.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -2/+3 |
| * | use lighter internal stdio lock in getopt error printing•••the public flockfile interface is significantly heavier because it has
to handle the possibility of caller returning or thread exiting while
holding the lock.

| * | add crypt_des header for declarations shared with encrypt function | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -12/+16 |
| * | make mkostemps source file include the header for its declaration | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -0/+1 |
| * | move __memalign declaration to malloc_impl.h•••the malloc-implementation-private header is the only right place for
this, because, being in the reserved namespace, __memalign is not
interposable and thus not valid to use anywhere else. anything outside
of the malloc implementation must call an appropriate-namespace public
function (aligned_alloc or posix_memalign).

| * | use hidden visibility for sh __unmapself backends | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -2/+3 |
| * | rework mechanism for posix_spawnp calling posix_spawn•••previously, a common __posix_spawnx backend was used that accepted an
additional argument for the execve variant to call in the child. this
moderately bloated up the posix_spawn function, shuffling arguments
between stack and/or registers to call a 7-argument function from a
6-argument one.
instead, tuck the exec function pointer in an unused part of the
(large) pthread_spawnattr_t structure, and have posix_spawnp duplicate
the attributes and fill in a pointer to __execvpe. the net code size
change is minimal, but the weight is shifted to the "heavier" function
which already pulls in more dependencies.
as a bonus, we get rid of an external symbol (__posix_spawnx) that had
no really good place for a declaration because it shouldn't have
existed to begin with.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -19/+9 |
| * | make arch __fesetround backends hidden•••these are not public interfaces and do not match the public function,
but delegate argument checking to it.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 14 | -4/+18 |
| * | make arch __set_thread_area backends hidden•••this is not a public interface, and does not even necessarily match
the syscall on all archs that have a syscall by that name.
on archs where it's implemented in C, no action on the source file is
needed; the hidden declaration in pthread_arch.h suffices.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 10 | -1/+10 |
| * | make arch __clone backends hidden•••these are not a public interface and are not intended to be callable
from anywhere but the public clone function or other places in libc.

| * | move tlsdesc and internal dl function declarations to dynlink.h | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 8 | -16/+17 |
| * | add internal header for declaring __pleval function (used by gettext)•••locale_impl.h could have been used, but this function is completely
independent of anything else, and preserving that property seems nice.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -1/+8 |
| * | move __stdio_exit_needed to stdio_impl.h•••this functions is glue for linking dependency logic.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -4/+2 |
| * | move __loc_is_allocated declaration to locale_impl.h | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -2/+1 |
| * | move declarations of tls setup/access functions to pthread_impl.h•••it's already included in all places where these are needed, and aside
from __tls_get_addr, they're all implementation internals.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 4 | -6/+6 |
| * | add and use internal header for *rand48 lcg | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 8 | -13/+12 |
| * | move __strftime_fmt_1 declaration to time_impl.h•••this is a helper function from strftime that's also used by wcsftime.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -2/+2 |
| * | move __tm_to_tzname declaration to time_impl.h with related functions•••this function was added later for strftime use and the existence of
time_impl.h as the appropriate place for it seems to have been
overlooked.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -1/+1 |
| * | remove unused code from strcpy.c | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -7/+0 |
| * | move __res_msend_rc declaration to lookup.h•••unlike the other res/dn functions, this one is tied to struct
resolvconf which is not a public interface, so put it in the private
header for its subsystem.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -1/+1 |
| * | fix type-mismatched declarations of __nl_langinfo_l in source files•••obviously the type "should be" const, but it inherited non-const from
the standard nl_langinfo_l.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -2/+2 |
| * | for c11 mtx and cnd functions, use externally consistent type names•••despite looking like undefined behavior, the affected code is correct
both before and after this patch. the pairs mtx_t and pthread_mutex_t,
and cnd_t and pthread_cond_t, are not mutually compatible within a
single translation unit (because they are distinct untagged aggregate
instances), but they are compatible with an object of either type from
another translation unit (6.2.7 ΒΆ1), and therefore a given translation
unit can choose which one it wants to use.
in the interest of being able to move declarations out of source files
to headers that facilitate checking, use the pthread type names in
declaring the namespace-safe versions of the pthread functions and
cast the argument pointer types when calling them.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 6 | -12/+17 |
| * | move and deduplicate declarations of __dns_parse to make it checkable•••the source file for this function is completely standalone, but it
doesn't seem worth adding a header just for it, so declare it in
lookup.h for now.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 4 | -2/+3 |
| * | move lgamma-related internal declarations to libm.h | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 5 | -12/+7 |
| * | declare __syscall_ret as hidden in vfork asm•••without this, it's plausible that assembler or linker could complain
about an unsatisfiable relocation.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 4 | -0/+4 |
| * | add arm asm for vfork | Patrick Oppenlander | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -0/+13 |
| * | move declarations for malloc internals to malloc_impl.h | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 4 | -6/+6 |
| * | improve machinery for ldso to report libc version•••eliminate gratuitous glue function for reporting the version, which
was probably leftover from the old dynamic linker design which lacked
a clear barrier for when/how it could access global data. put the
declaration for the data object that replaces it in libc.h where it
can be type checked.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 2 | -6/+3 |
| * | make internal declarations for flockfile tracking functions checkable•••logically these belong to the intersection of the stdio and pthread
subsystems, and either place the declarations could go (stdio_impl.h
or pthread_impl.h) requires a forward declaration for one of the
argument types.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -4/+5 |
| * | make inadvertently exposed __h{create,delete,search}_r functions static | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -6/+6 |
| * | make inadvertently exposed __pthread_{timed,try}join_np functions static•••these exist for the sake of defining the corresponding weak public
aliases (for C11 and POSIX namespace conformance reasons). they are
not referenced by anything else in libc, so make them static.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | use idiomatic weak alias approach for defining asctime_r•••get rid of a gratuitous translation unit and call frame between
asctime_r and the actual implementation of the function. this is the
way gmtime_r and localtime_r are already done.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -33/+28 |
| * | move and deduplicate declarations of __vdsosym to make it checkable | Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 3 | -4/+2 |
| * | move and deduplicate declarations of __procfdname to make it checkable•••syscall.h was chosen as the header to declare it, since its intended
usage is alongside syscalls as a fallback for operations the direct
syscall does not support.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-12 | 10 | -16/+5 |
| * | fix issues from public functions defined without declaration visible•••policy is that all public functions which have a public declaration
should be defined in a context where that public declaration is
visible, to avoid preventable type mismatches.
an audit performed using GCC's -Wmissing-declarations turned up the
violations corrected here. in some cases the public header had not
been included; in others, a feature test macro needed to make the
declaration visible had been omitted.
in the case of gethostent and getnetent, the omission seems to have
been intentional, as a hack to admit a single stub definition for both
functions. this kind of hack is no longer acceptable; it's UB and
would not fly with LTO or advanced toolchains. the hack is undone to
make exposure of the declarations possible.

| * | remove leftover declarations for removed functions from pthread_impl.h | Rich Felker | 2018-09-05 | 1 | -4/+0 |
| * | define and use internal macros for hidden visibility, weak refs•••this cleans up what had become widespread direct inline use of "GNU C"
style attributes directly in the source, and lowers the barrier to
increased use of hidden visibility, which will be useful to recovering
some of the efficiency lost when the protected visibility hack was
dropped in commit dc2f368e565c37728b0d620380b849c3a1ddd78f, especially
on archs where the PLT ABI is costly.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-05 | 29 | -88/+66 |
| * | fix namespace violation for c11 mutex functions•••__pthread_mutex_timedlock is used to implement c11 mutex functions,
and therefore cannot call pthread_mutex_trylock by name.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-04 | 1 | -1/+3 |
| * | in pthread_mutex_timedlock, avoid repeatedly reading mutex type field•••compiler cannot cache immutable fields of the mutex object across
external calls it can't see, much less across atomics.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-04 | 1 | -3/+4 |
| * | in pthread_mutex_trylock, EBUSY out more directly when possible•••avoid gratuitously setting up and tearing down the robust list pending
slot.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-04 | 1 | -2/+2 |
| * | implement fexecve in terms of execveat when it exists•••This lets fexecve work even when /proc isn't mounted.
| Joseph C. Sible | 2018-09-04 | 1 | -0/+5 |
| * | fix stack-based oob memory clobber in resolver's result sorting•••commit 4f35eb7591031a1e5ef9828f9304361f282f28b9 introduced this bug.
it is not present in any released versions. inadvertent use of the &
operator on an array into which we're indexing produced arithmetic on
the wrong-type pointer, with undefined behavior.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-02 | 1 | -1/+1 |
| * | consistently use _NSIG/8 idiom for kernel sigset size in sigaction•••this code in sigaction was the only place where sizeof was being
applied to the kernel sigaction's mask member to get the size argument
to pass to the kernel. everywhere else, _NSIG/8 is used for this
purpose.
| Rich Felker | 2018-09-01 | 1 | -3/+3 |
| * | always terminate by SIGABRT when abort is called•••Linux makes this surprisingly difficult, but it can be done. the trick
here is using the fact that we control the implementation of sigaction
to prevent changing the disposition of SIGABRT to anything but SIG_DFL
after abort has tried and failed to terminate the process simply by
calling raise(SIGABRT).
