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.
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:
