this facilitates building software that assumes a large default stack size without any patching to call pthread_setattr_default_np or pthread_attr_setstacksize at each thread creation site, using just LDFLAGS. normally the PT_GNU_STACK header is used only to reflect whether executable stack is desired, but with GNU ld at least, passing -Wl,-z,stack-size=N will set a size on the program header. with this patch, that size will be incorporated into the default stack size (subject to increase-only rule and DEFAULT_STACK_MAX limit). both static and dynamic linking honor the program header. for dynamic linking, all libraries loaded at program start, including preloaded ones, are considered. dlopened libraries are not considered, for several reasons. extra logic would be needed to defer processing until the load of the new library is commited, synchronization woud be needed since other threads may be running concurrently, and the effectiveness woud be limited since the larger size would not apply to threads that already existed at the time of dlopen. programs that will dlopen code expecting a large stack need to declare the requirement themselves, or pthread_setattr_default_np can be used. |

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: http://www.musl-libc.org/
