commit8a544ee3a2introduced a dependency of the failure path for explicit scheduling at thread creation on __clone's handling of the start function returning, which should result in SYS_exit. as noted in commit05870abeaa, the arm version of __clone was broken in this case. in the past, the mips version was also broken; it was fixed in commit8b2b61e000. since this code path is pretty much entirely untested (previously only reachable in applications that call the public clone() and return from the start function) and consists of fragile per-arch asm, don't assume it works, at least not until it's been thoroughly tested. instead make the SYS_exit syscall from the start function's failure path.
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
