musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems

check whether the lock is free before loading the calling thread's tid. if so, just use a dummy tid value that cannot compare equal to any actual thread id (because it's one bit wider). this also avoids the need to save the tid and pass it to locking_getc or locking_putc, reducing register pressure. this change might slightly hurt the case where the caller already holds the lock, but it does not affect the single-threaded case, and may significantly improve the multi-threaded case, especially on archs where loading the thread pointer is disproportionately expensive like early mips and arm ISA levels. but even on i386 it helps, at least on some machines; I measured roughly a 10-15% improvement. |

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
