__aeabi_read_tp used to call c code, but that was incorrect as the arm runtime abi specifies special pcs for this function: it is only allowed to clobber r0, ip, lr and cpsr. maintainer's note: the old code explicitly saved and restored all general-purpose registers which are call-clobbered in the normal calling convention, so it's unlikely that any real-world compilers produced code that could break. however theoretically they could have chosen to use floating point registers, in which case the caller's values of those registers would be clobbered.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
