unlike other asm where the baseline ISA is used, these functions are hot paths and use ISA-level specializations. call-clobbered vfp registers are saved before calling __tls_get_new, since there is no guarantee it won't use them. while setjmp/longjmp have to use hwcap to decide whether to the fpu is in use, since application code could be using vfp registers even if libc was compiled as pure softfloat, __tls_get_new is part of libc and can be assumed not to have access to vfp registers if tlsdesc.S does not. thus it suffices just to check the predefined preprocessor macros. the check for __ARM_PCS_VFP is redundant; !__SOFTFP__ must always be true if the target ISA level includes fpu instructions/registers.
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
