policy has long been that these definitions are purely a function of
whether long/pointer is 32- or 64-bit, and that they are not allowed
to vary per-arch. move the definition to the shared alltypes.h.in
fragment, using integer constant expressions in terms of sizeof to
vary the array dimensions appropriately. I'm not sure whether this is
more or less ugly than using preprocessor conditionals and two sets of
definitions here, but either way is a lot less ugly than repeating the
same thing for every arch.
LLONG_MAX is uniform for all archs we support and plenty of header and
code level logic assumes it is, so it does not make sense for limits.h
bits mechanism to pretend it's variable.
LONG_BIT can be defined in terms of LONG_MAX; there's no reason to put
it in bits.
by moving LONG_MAX definition to __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h and moving
LLONG_MAX out of bits, there are now no plain-C limits that are
defined in the bits header, so the bits header only needs to be
included in the POSIX or extended profiles. this allows the feature
test macro logic to be removed from the bits header, facilitating a
long-term goal of getting such logic out of bits.
having __LONG_MAX in alltypes.h will allow further generalization of
headers.
archs without a constant PAGESIZE no longer need bits/limits.h at all.
this change is motivated by the intersection of several factors.
presently, despite being a nonstandard header, endian.h is exposing
the unprefixed byte order macros and functions only if _BSD_SOURCE or
_GNU_SOURCE is defined. this is to accommodate use of endian.h from
other headers, including bits headers, which need to define structure
layout in terms of endianness. with time64 switch-over, even more
headers will need to do this.
at the same time, the resolution of Austin Group issue 162 makes
endian.h a standard header for POSIX-future, requiring that it expose
the unprefixed macros and the functions even in standards-conforming
profiles. changes to meet this new requirement would break existing
internal usage of endian.h by causing it to violate namespace where
it's used.
instead, have the arch's alltypes.h define __BYTE_ORDER, either as a
fixed constant or depending on the right arch-specific predefined
macros for determining endianness. explicit literals 1234 and 4321 are
used instead of __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN so that there's no
danger of getting the wrong result if a macro is undefined and
implicitly evaluates to 0 at the preprocessor level.
the powerpc (32-bit) bits/endian.h being removed had logic for varying
endianness, but our powerpc arch has never supported that and has
always been big-endian-only. this logic is not carried over to the new
__BYTE_ORDER definition in alltypes.h.
now that commit f7f1079796 removed the
legacy i386 conditional definition, va_list is in no way
arch-specific, and has no reason to be in the future. move it to the
shared part of alltypes.h.in

historically, a number of 32-bit archs used long rather than int for
wchar_t, for no good reason. GCC still uses the historical types, but
clang replaced them all with int, and it seems PCC uses int too.
mismatching the compiler's type for wchar_t is not an option due to
wide string literals.
note that the mismatch does not affect C++ ABI since wchar_t is its
own builtin type/keyword in C++, distinct from both int and long, not
a typedef.
i386 already worked around this by honoring __WCHAR_TYPE__ if defined
by the compiler, and only using the official legacy ABI type if not.
add the same to the other affected archs.
it might make sense at some point to switch to using int as the
default if __WCHAR_TYPE__ is not defined, if the expectations is that
new compilers will treat int as the correct choice, but it's unlikely
that the case where __WCHAR_TYPE__ is undefined will ever be used
anyway. I actually wanted to move the definition of wchar_t to the
top-level shared alltypes.h.in, using __WCHAR_TYPE__ and falling back
to int if not defined, but that can't be done without assuming all
compilers define __WCHAR_TYPE__ thanks to some pathological archs
where the ABI has wchar_t as an unsigned type.
due to historical accident/sloppiness in glibc, the powerpc,
powerpc64, and sh versions of struct user, defined by sys/user.h, used
struct pt_regs from the kernel asm/ptrace.h for their regs member.
this made it impossible to define the type in an API-compatible manner
without either including asm/ptrace.h like glibc does (contrary to our
policy of not depending on kernel headers), or clashing with
asm/ptrace.h's definition of struct pt_regs if both headers are
included (which is almost always the case in software using
sys/user.h).
for a long time I viewed this problem as having no reasonable fix. I
even explored the possibility of having the powerpc[64] and sh
versions of user.h just include the kernel header (breaking with
policy), but that looked like it might introduce new clashes with
sys/ptrace.h. and it would also bring in a lot of additional cruft
that makes no sense for sys/user.h to expose. glibc goes out of its
way to suppress some of that with #undef, possibly leading to
different problems. this is a rabbit-hole that should be explored no
further.
as it turns out, however, nothing actually uses struct user
sufficiently to care about the type of the regs member; most software
including sys/user.h does not even use struct user at all. so, the
problem can be fixed just by doing away with the insistence on strict
glibc API compatibility for the struct tag of the regs member.
rather than renaming the tag, which might lead to the new name
entering use as API, simply use an untagged structure inside struct
user with the same members/layout as struct pt_regs.
for sh, struct pt_dspregs is just removed entirely since it was not
used.
otherwise, 32-bit archs that could otherwise share the generic
bits/ipc.h would need to duplicate the struct ipc_perm definition,
obscuring the fact that it's the same. sysvipc is not widely used and
these headers are not commonly included, so there is no performance
gain to be had by limiting the number of indirectly included files
here.
files with the existing time32 definition of IPC_STAT are added to all
current 32-bit archs now, so that when it's changed the change will
show up as a change rather than addition of a new file where it's less
obvious that the value is changing vs the generic one that was used
before.
syscall numbers are now synced up across targets (starting from 403 the
numbers are the same on all targets other than an arch specific offset)
IPC syscalls sem*, shm*, msg* got added where they were missing (except
for semop: only semtimedop got added), the new semctl, shmctl, msgctl
imply IPC_64, see

PAGESIZE is actually the version defined in POSIX base, with PAGE_SIZE
being in the XSI option. use PAGESIZE as the underlying definition to
facilitate making exposure of PAGE_SIZE conditional.
it is defined in linux asm/sockios.h since commit
ae40eb1ef30ab4120bd3c8b7e3da99ee53d27a23 (linux v2.6.22)
but was missing from musl by accident.
in musl the sockios macros are exposed in sys/ioctl.h together
with other ioctl requests instead of in sys/socket.h because of
namespace rules. (glibc has them in sys/socket.h under _GNU_SOURCE.)
aarch64, arm, mips, mips64, mipsn32, powerpc, powerpc64 and sh have
cpu feature bits defined in linux for AT_HWCAP auxv entry, so expose
those in sys/auxv.h
it seems the mips hwcaps were never exposed to userspace neither
by linux nor by glibc, but that's most likely an oversight.
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.
currently five targets use the same mman.h constants and the rest
share most constants too, so move them to sys/mman.h before the
bits/mman.h include where the differences can be corrected by
redefinition of the macros.
this fixes two minor bugs: POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED was wrong on most
targets (it should be the same as MADV_DONTNEED), and sh defined
the x86-only MAP_32BIT mmap flag.
all bits headers that were identical for a number of 'clean' archs are
moved to the new arch/generic tree. in addition, a few headers that
differed only cosmetically from the new generic version are removed.
additional deduplication may be possible in mman.h and in several
headers (limits.h, posix.h, stdint.h) that mostly depend on whether
the arch is 32- or 64-bit, but they are left alone for now because
greater gains are likely possible with more invasive changes to header
logic, which is beyond the scope of this commit.
they lock faulted pages into memory (useful when a small part of a
large mapped file needs efficient access), new in linux v4.4, commit
b0f205c2a3082dd9081f9a94e50658c5fa906ff1
MLOCK_* is not in the POSIX reserved namespace for sys/mman.h
while the sh port is still experimental and subject to ABI
instability, this is not actually an application/libc boundary ABI
change. it only affects third-party APIs where jmp_buf is used in a
shared structure at the ABI boundary, because nothing anywhere near
the end of the jmp_buf object (which includes the oversized sigset_t)
is accessed by libc.
both glibc and uclibc have 15-slot jmp_buf for sh. presumably the
smaller version was used in musl because the slots for fpu status
register and thread pointer register (gbr) were incorrect and must not
be restored by longjmp, but the size should have been preserved, as
it's generally treated as a libc-agnostic ABI property for the arch,
and having extra slots free in case we ever need them for something is
useful anyway.
while it's the same for all presently supported archs, it differs at
least on sparc, and conceptually it's no less arch-specific than the
other O_* macros. O_SEARCH and O_EXEC are still defined in terms of
O_PATH in the main fcntl.h.
the previous values (2k min and 8k default) were too small for some
archs. aarch64 reserves 4k in the signal context for future extensions
and requires about 4.5k total, and powerpc reportedly uses over 2k.
the new minimums are chosen to fit the saved context and also allow a
minimal signal handler to run.
since the default (SIGSTKSZ) has always been 6k larger than the
minimum, it is also increased to maintain the 6k usable by the signal
handler. this happens to be able to store one pathname buffer and
should be sufficient for calling any function in libc that doesn't
involve conversion between floating point and decimal representations.
x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) may also need a larger minimum
(around 2.5k) in the future to support avx-512, but the values on
these archs are left alone for now pending further analysis.
the value for PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is not increased to match MINSIGSTKSZ
at this time. this is so as not to preclude applications from using
extremely small thread stacks when they know they will not be handling
signals. unfortunately cancellation and multi-threaded set*id() use
signals as an implementation detail and therefore require a stack
large enough for a signal context, so applications which use extremely
small thread stacks may still need to avoid using these features.
these macros have the same distinct definition on blackfin, frv, m68k,
mips, sparc and xtensa kernels. POLLMSG and POLLRDHUP additionally
differ on sparc.
the memory model we use internally for atomics permits plain loads of
values which may be subject to concurrent modification without
requiring that a special load function be used. since a compiler is
free to make transformations that alter the number of loads or the way
in which loads are performed, the compiler is theoretically free to
break this usage. the most obvious concern is with atomic cas
constructs: something of the form tmp=*p;a_cas(p,tmp,f(tmp)); could be
transformed to a_cas(p,*p,f(*p)); where the latter is intended to show
multiple loads of *p whose resulting values might fail to be equal;
this would break the atomicity of the whole operation. but even more
fundamental breakage is possible.
with the changes being made now, objects that may be modified by
atomics are modeled as volatile, and the atomic operations performed
on them by other threads are modeled as asynchronous stores by
hardware which happens to be acting on the request of another thread.
such modeling of course does not itself address memory synchronization
between cores/cpus, but that aspect was already handled. this all
seems less than ideal, but it's the best we can do without mandating a
C11 compiler and using the C11 model for atomics.
in the case of pthread_once_t, the ABI type of the underlying object
is not volatile-qualified. so we are assuming that accessing the
object through a volatile-qualified lvalue via casts yields volatile
access semantics. the language of the C standard is somewhat unclear
on this matter, but this is an assumption the linux kernel also makes,
and seems to be the correct interpretation of the standard.
the definitions are generic for all kernel archs. exposure of these
macros now only occurs on the same feature test as for the function
accepting them, which is believed to be more correct.
based on patch by Jens Gustedt.
mtx_t and cnd_t are defined in such a way that they are formally
"compatible types" with pthread_mutex_t and pthread_cond_t,
respectively, when accessed from a different translation unit. this
makes it possible to implement the C11 functions using the pthread
functions (which will dereference them with the pthread types) without
having to use the same types, which would necessitate either namespace
violations (exposing pthread type names in threads.h) or incompatible
changes to the C++ name mangling ABI for the pthread types.
for the rest of the types, things are much simpler; using identical
types is possible without any namespace considerations.
unfortunately this needs to be able to vary by arch, because of a huge
mess GCC made: the GCC definition, which became the ABI, depends on
quirks in GCC's definition of __alignof__, which does not match the
formal alignment of the type.
GCC's __alignof__ unexpectedly exposes the an implementation detail,
its "preferred alignment" for the type, rather than the formal/ABI
alignment of the type, which it only actually uses in structures. on
most archs the two values are the same, but on some (at least i386)
the preferred alignment is greater than the ABI alignment.
I considered using _Alignas(8) unconditionally, but on at least one
arch (or1k), the alignment of max_align_t with GCC's definition is
only 4 (even the "preferred alignment" for these types is only 4).
when manipulating the robust list, the order of stores matters,
because the code may be asynchronously interrupted by a fatal signal
and the kernel will then access the robust list in what is essentially
an async-signal context.
previously, aliasing considerations made it seem unlikely that a
compiler could reorder the stores, but proving that they could not be
reordered incorrectly would have been extremely difficult. instead
I've opted to make all the pointers used as part of the robust list,
including those in the robust list head and in the individual mutexes,
volatile.
in addition, the format of the robust list has been changed to point
back to the head at the end, rather than ending with a null pointer.
this is to match the documented kernel robust list ABI. the null
pointer, which was previously used, only worked because faults during
access terminate the robust list processing.
this commit changes the names to match the kernel names, exposing
under the normal names the "old" versions which work with a smaller
termios structure compatible with the userspace structure, and
renaming the "new" versions with "2" on the end like the kernel has.
this fixes spurious warnings "Unsupported ioctl: cmd=0x802c542a" from
qemu-sh4 and should be more correct anyway, since our userspace
termios structure does not have meaningful information in the part
which the kernel would be interpreting as speeds with the new ioctl.
The mips arch is special in that it uses different RLIMIT_
numbers than other archs, so allow bits/resource.h to override
the default RLIMIT_ numbers (empty on all archs except mips).
Reported by orc.
the definition was found to be incorrect at least for powerpc, and
fixing this cleanly requires making the definition arch-specific. this
will allow cleaning up the definition for other archs to make it more
specific, and reversing some of the ugliness (time_t hacks) introduced
with the x32 port.
this first commit simply copies the existing definition to each arch
without any changes. this is intentional, to make it easier to review
changes made on a per-arch basis.
linux, gcc, etc. all use "sh" as the name for the superh arch. there
was already some inconsistency internally in musl: the dynamic linker
was searching for "ld-musl-sh.path" as its path file despite its own
name being "ld-musl-superh.so.1". there was some sentiment in both
directions as to how to resolve the inconsistency, but overall "sh"
was favored.
