the instruction used to align the stack, "and $sp, $sp, -8", does not actually exist; it's expanded to 2 instructions using the 'at' (assembler temporary) register, and thus cannot be used in a branch delay slot. since alignment mod 16 commutes with subtracting 8, simply swapping these two operations fixes the problem. crt1.o was not affected because it's still being generated from a dedicated asm source file. dlstart.lo was not affected because the stack pointer it receives is already aligned by the kernel. but Scrt1.o was affected in cases where the dynamic linker gave it a misaligned stack pointer.
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
the project website:
