this is a subtle issue with how the assembler/linker work. for the adr
pseudo-instruction used to find __hwcap, the assembler in thumb mode
generates a 16-bit thumb add instruction which can only represent
word-aligned addresses, despite not knowing the alignment of the
label. if the setjmp function is assigned a non-multiple-of-4 address
at link time, the load then loads from the wrong address (the last
instruction rather than the data containing the offset) and ends up
reading nonsense instead of the value of __hwcap. this in turn causes
the checks for floating-point/vector register sets (e.g. IWMMX) to
evaluate incorrectly, crashing when setjmp/longjmp try to save/restore
those registers.
fix based on bug report by Felix Hädicke.
The TOC pointer is constant within a single dso, but needs to be saved
and restored around cross-dso calls. The PLT stub saves it to the
caller's stack frame, and the linker adds code to the caller to restore
it.
With a local call, as within a single dso or with static linking, this
doesn't happen and the TOC pointer is always in r2. Therefore,
setjmp/longjmp need to save/restore the TOC pointer from/to different
locations depending on whether the call to setjmp was a local or non-local
call.
It is always safe for longjmp to restore to both r2 and the caller's stack.
If the call to setjmp was local, and only r2 matters and the stack location
will be ignored, but is required by the ABI to be reserved for the TOC
pointer. If the call was non-local, then only the stack location matters,
and whatever is restored into r2 will be clobbered anyway when the caller
reloads r2 from the stack.
A little extra care is required for sigsetjmp, because it uses setjmp
internally. After the second return from this setjmp call, r2 will contain
the caller's TOC pointer instead of libc's TOC pointer. We need to save
and restore the correct libc pointer before we can tail call to
__sigsetjmp_tail.
Some PowerPC CPUs (e.g. Freescale MPC85xx) have a completely different
instruction set for floating point operations (SPE).
Executing regular PowerPC floating point instructions results in
"Illegal instruction" errors.
Make it possible to run these devices in soft-float mode.
these files are all accepted as legacy arm syntax when producing arm
code, but legacy syntax cannot be used for producing thumb2 with
access to the full ISA. even after switching to UAL, some asm source
files contain instructions which are not valid in thumb mode, so these
will need to be addressed separately.
the idea of the three-instruction sequence being removed was to be
able to return to thumb code when used on armv4t+ from a thumb caller,
but also to be able to run on armv4 without the bx instruction
available (in which case the low bit of lr would always be 0).
however, without compiler support for generating such a sequence from
C code, which does not exist and which there is unlikely to be
interest in implementing, there is little point in having it in the
asm, and it would likely be easier to add pre-armv4t support via
enhanced linker handling of R_ARM_V4BX than at the compiler level.
removing this code simplifies adding support for building libc in
thumb2-only form (for cortex-m).
the code to save/restore vfp registers needs to build even when the
configured target does not have fpu; this is because code using vfp
fpu (but with the standard soft-float EABI) may call a libc built for
a soft-float only, and the EABI considers these registers call-saved
when they exist. thus, extra directives are used to force the
assembler to allow vfp instructions and to avoid marking the resulting
object files as requiring vfp.
moving away from using hard-coded opcode words is necessary in order
to eventually support producing thumb2-only output for cortex-m.
conditional execution of these instructions based on hwcap flags was
already implemented. when building for arm (non-thumb) output, the
only currently-supported configuration, this commit does not change
the code emitted.
these are perfectly fine with ld-time symbol binding, but otherwise
result in textrels. they cannot be replaced with @PLT jump targets
because the PLT thunks require a GOT register to be setup, so use a
hidden alias instead.
these are perfectly fine with ld-time symbol binding, but if the calls
go through a PLT thunk, they are invalid because the caller does not
setup a GOT register. use a hidden alias to bypass the issue.
none of these are actual textrels because of ld-time binding performed
by -Bsymbolic-functions, but I'm changing them with the goal of making
ld-time binding purely an optimization rather than relying on it for
semantic purposes.
in the case of memmove's call to memcpy, making it explicit that the
memmove asm is assuming the forward-copying behavior of the memcpy asm
is desirable anyway; in case memcpy is ever changed, the semantic
mismatch would be apparent while editing memmcpy.s.
This adds complete aarch64 target support including bigendian subarch.
Some of the long double math functions are known to be broken otherwise
interfaces should be fully functional, but at this point consider this
port experimental.
Initial work on this port was done by Sireesh Tripurari and Kevin Bortis.
this typo did not result in an erroneous setjmp with at least binutils
2.22 but fix it for clarity and compatibility with potentially stricter
sh assemblers.
With the exception of a fenv implementation, the port is fully featured.
The port has been tested in or1ksim, the golden reference functional
simulator for OpenRISC 1000.
It passes all libc-test tests (except the math tests that
requires a fenv implementation).
The port assumes an or1k implementation that has support for
atomic instructions (l.lwa/l.swa).
Although it passes all the libc-test tests, the port is still
in an experimental state, and has yet experienced very little
'real-world' use.
r24 was wrongly being saved at a misaligned offset of 30 rather than
the correct offset of 40 in the jmp_buf. the exact effects of this
error have not been studied, but it's clear that the value of r24 was
lost across setjmp/longjmp and the saved values of r21 and/or r22 may
also have been corrupted.
linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there
was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker
was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own
name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both
directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh"
was favored.
Userspace emulated floating-point (gcc -msoft-float) is not compatible
with the default mips abi (assumes an FPU or in kernel emulation of it).
Soft vs hard float abi should not be mixed, __mips_soft_float is checked
in musl's configure script and there is no runtime check. The -sf subarch
does not save/restore floating-point registers in setjmp/longjmp and only
provides dummy fenv implementation.
the issue is identical to the recent commit fixing the mips versions:
despite other implementations doing this, it conflicts with the
requirements of ISO C and it's a waste of time and code size.
nothing in the standard requires or even allows the fenv state to be
restored by longjmp. restoring the exception flags is not such a big
deal since it's probably valid to clobber them completely, but
restoring the rounding mode yields an observable side effect not
sanctioned by ISO C. saving/restoring it also wastes a few cycles and
16 bytes of code.
as for historical behavior, reportedly SGI IRIX did save/restore fenv,
and this is where glibc and uClibc got the behavior from. a few other
systems save/restore it too (on archs other than mips), even though
this is apparently wrong. further details are documented here:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~williams/archive/computation/setjmp-fpmode.html
as musl aims for standards conformance rather than coddling historical
programs expecting non-conforming behavior, and as it's unlikely that
any historical programs actually depend on the incorrect behavior
(such programs would break on other archs, anyway), I'm making the
change not to save/restore fenv on mips.
based on initial work by rdp, with heavy modifications. some features
including threads are untested because qemu app-level emulation seems
to be broken and I do not have a proper system image for testing.
not heavily tested, but at least they don't seem to break anything on
soft float targets with or without coprocessors. they check the auxv
AT_HWCAP flags to determine which coprocessor, if any, is available.
also fix the alignment of jmp_buf to meet the abi. linux always
emulates fpu on mips if it's not present, so enabling this code
unconditionally is "safe" but may be slow. in the long term it may be
preferable to find a way to disable it on soft float builds.
basically, this version of the code was obtained by starting with
rdp's work from his ellcc source tree, adapting it to musl's build
system and coding style, auditing the bits headers for discrepencies
with kernel definitions or glibc/LSB ABI or large file issues, fixing
up incompatibility with the old binutils from aboriginal linux, and
adding some new special cases to deal with the oddities of sigaction
and pipe syscall interfaces on mips.
at present, minimal test programs work, but some interfaces are broken
or missing. threaded programs probably will not link.

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.
this seems to be necessary to make the linker accept the functions in
a shared library (perhaps to generate PLT entries?)
strictly speaking libc-internal asm should not need it. i might clean
that up later.
