libc: Access _logname_valid more efficiently.

The variable _logname_valid is not exported via the version script;
therefore, change C and i386/amd64 assembler code to remove indirection
(which allowed interposition). This makes the code slightly smaller and
faster.

Also, remove #define PIC_GOT from i386/amd64 in !PIC mode. Without PIC,
there is no place containing the address of each variable, so there is no
possible definition for PIC_GOT.

The getcontext() from the __fillcontextx() call in the
check_deferred_signal() returns twice, since handle_signal() emulates
the return from the normal signal handler by sigreturn(2)ing the
passed context. Second return is performed on the destroyed stack
frame, because __fillcontextx() has already returned. This causes
undefined and bad behaviour, usually the victim thread gets SIGSEGV.

Avoid nested frame and the need to return from it by doing direct call
to getcontext() in the check_deferred_signal() and using a new private
libc helper __fillcontextx2() to complement the context with the
extended CPU state if the deferred signal is still present.

The __fillcontextx() is now unused, but is kept to allow older
libthr.so to be used with the new libc.

Mark __fillcontextx() as returning twice [1].

libc/i386: Do not export .cerror.

For some reason, libc exports the symbol .cerror (HIDENAME(cerror)), albeit
in the FBSDprivate_1.0 version. It looks like there is no reason for this
since it is not used from other libraries. Given that it cannot be accessed
from C and its strange calling convention, it is rather unlikely that other
things rely on it. Perhaps it is from a time when symbols could not be
hidden.

Not exporting .cerror causes it to be jumped to directly instead of via the
PLT.

This change also takes advantage of .cerror's new status by not saving and
loading %ebx before jumping to it. (Therefore, .cerror now saves and loads
%ebx itself.) Where there was a conditional jump to a jump to .cerror, the
conditional jump has been changed to jump to .cerror directly (many modern
CPUs don't do static prediction and in any case it is not much of a benefit
anyway).

This change makes libc.so.7 a few kilobytes smaller.

Change index() and rindex() to a weak alias.

This allows people to still write statically linked applications that
call strchr() or strrchr() and have a local variable or function called
index.

Discussed with: bde@


229368 03-Jan-2012 ed

Merge index() and strchr() together.

As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.

Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.

Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().

This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.

libc: Remove the i386 assembler version of strlen(3).

On anything modern, the C version, which processes a word at a time, is much
faster. The Intel optimization manual explicitly warns against using REP
prefixes with SCAS or CMPS, which is exactly what the assembler version
does.

A simple test on a Phenom II showed the C version, compiled with -O2, to be
about twice as fast determining the length of 100000 strings between 0 and
255 bytes long.

Mark uname(), getdomainname() and setdomainname() with COMPAT_FREEBSD4.

Looking at our source code history, it seems the uname(),
getdomainname() and setdomainname() system calls got deprecated
somewhere after FreeBSD 1.1, but they have never been phased out
properly. Because we don't have a COMPAT_FREEBSD1, just use
COMPAT_FREEBSD4.

Also fix the Linuxolator to build without the setdomainname() routine by
just making it call userland_sysctl on kern.domainname. Also replace the
setdomainname()'s implementation to use this approach, because we're
duplicating code with sysctl_domainname().

I wasn't able to keep these three routines working in our
COMPAT_FREEBSD32, because that would require yet another keyword for
syscalls.master (COMPAT4+NOPROTO). Because this routine is probably
unused already, this won't be a problem in practice. If it turns out to
be a problem, we'll just restore this functionality.

Add an alternative view of the bits in an 80-bit long double (64+16
instead of 32+32+15+1) on all arches that have such long doubles (amd64,
ia64 and i386). Large objects should be be accessed in large units,
and the 32+32+15+1[+padding] decomposition asks for almost the opposite
of that, sometimes resulting in very slow accesses depending on how
well the compiler ignores what we ask for and converts to the best
units for the given machine. E.g., on Athlons, there is a 10-20 cycle
penalty for accessing the middle 32-bit word immediately after an
80-bit store.

Whether actually using the alternative view is better is very machine-
dependent. A 32+32+16 view is probably best with old 32-bit systems
and gcc through 4.2.1. The compiler should mostly avoid the view and
generate best accesses, but gcc-4.2.1 is far from doing that. I think
64+16 is best for now. Similarly for doubles -- they should be using
64+0 especially on 64-bit machines, but fdlibm uses 32+32 extensively
for them. Fortunately, in 64-bit mode for doubles, gcc already ignores
the 32+32-bit view and generates best accesses in many cases.

Since nan() is supposed to work the same as strtod("nan(...)", NULL),
my original implementation made both use the same code. Unfortunately,
this meant libm depended on a vendor header at compile time and previously-
unexposed vendor bits in libc at runtime.

Hence, I just wrote my own version of the relevant vendor routine. As it
turns out, mine has a factor of 8 fewer of lines of code, and is a bit more
readable anyway. The strtod() and *scanf() routines still use vendor code.

171217 04-Jul-2007 peter

Adjust the syscall stub macros to be consistent in their meaning. In
particular:
SYSCALL() makes a syscall, with errno handling, and continues execution
directly after the macro in the non-error case.
RSYSCALL() is just like SYSCALL(), but returns after success.
Both SYSCALL(name) and RSYSCALL(name) export "__sys_name" as a strong
symbol, with "_name" and "name" as weak aliases.
PSEUDO() is just like RSYSCALL(), but skipping the "name" weak alias. It
still does "__sys_name" and "_name".

Change i386 to add errno handling to PSEUDO. The same for amd64 and
sparc64, with appear to have copied the behavior.
ia64 was correct (as was alpha). Just remove some apparently unused
variants of the macros. (untested!)
I believe powerpc is correct.
Fix arm to not export "name" from the PSEUDO case. Remove apparently
extra unused variants. (untested!)

The errno problem manifested on i386/amd64/sparc64 by having "PSEUDO"
classified syscalls return without setting errno. eg: "addr = mmap()"
could return with "addr" = 22 instead of setting errno to 22 and
returning -1.

Implement the classification macros isfinite(), isinf(), isnan(), and

a lose in the sense that we need a total of 12 functions, but it is
necessary for binary compatibility because we have never bumped libm's
major version number. In particular, isinf(), isnan(), and isnanf()
were BSD libc functions before they were C99 macros, so we can't
reimplement them in terms of fpclassify() without adding a dependency
on libc.so.5. I have tried to arrange things so that programs that
could be compiled in FreeBSD 4.X will generate the same external
references when compiled in 5.X. At the same time, the new macros
should remain C99-compliant.

The isinf() and isnan() functions remain in libc for historical
reasons; however, I have moved the functions that implement the macros
isfinite() and isnormal() to libm where they belong. Moreover,
half a dozen MD versions of isinf() and isnan() have been replaced
with MI versions that work equally well.

Replace our ancient dtoa/strtod implementation with the gdtoa
package, a more recent, generalized set of routines. Among the
changes:
- Declare strtof() and strtold() in stdlib.h.
- Add glue to libc to support these routines for all kinds
of ``long double''.
- Update printf() to reflect the fact that dtoa works slightly
differently now.

As soon as I see that nothing has blown up, I will kill
src/lib/libc/stdlib/strtod.c. Soon printf() will be able
to use the new routines to output long doubles without loss
of precision, but numerous bugs in the existing code must
be addressed first.

56809 29-Jan-2000 jasone

Undo the ill-conceived breakage of the previous commit and really fix:

For libc_r renamed syscalls, correct symbol naming from
_thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() to _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo(). This
is necessary for system calls which libc_r doesn't define foo().

Some weak symbols such as poll() are defined twice. From what I understand,
depending on one weak symbol or the other to be used is a bad idea. All
such weak symbols defined in the libc_r-specific code should therefore be
made strong (non-weak?).

Simplify PSEUDO() to not define any weak symbols, since they aren't ever
needed.

alpha/SYS.h:

Correct reversed usage of WEAK_ALIAS(), which has reversed arguments from
__weak_reference(). Also, fix reversal of symbols, so that syscall foo()
is a weak alias for _foo().

Add WEAK_ALIAS() call to PRSYSCALL(), which unlike the i386 version of

is adequate. In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().

Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().

Creating weak symbols doesn't work correctly when building an aout libc.
Doing the "right thing" here is difficult, so create two ENTRY points for
each function (for example, __setjmp and setjmp are equivalent). This
isn't pretty, but it works for both aout and ELF.

libc symbol naming needs an overhaul in order to properly support function
wrapping, specifically in the case of a real libpthread, and these
duplicate entry points should be fixed as part of that overhaul.

to libc symbol naming, and these aliases will probably need modification

sigset_t change (part 5 of 5)
-----------------------------

Most of the userland changes are in libc. For both the alpha
and the i386 setjmp has been changed to accomodate for the
new sigset_t. Internally, libc is mostly rewritten to use the
new syscalls. The exception is in compat-43/sigcompat.c

The POSIX thread library has also been rewritten to use the
new sigset_t. Except, that it currently only handles NSIG
signals instead of the maximum _SIG_MAXSIG. This should not
be a problem because current applications don't use any
signals higher than NSIG.

There are version bumps for the following libraries:
libdialog
libreadline
libc
libc_r
libedit
libftpio
libss

These libraries either a) have one of the modified structures
visible in the interface, or b) use sigset_t internally and
may cause breakage if new binaries are used against libraries
that don't have the sigset_t change. This not an immediate
issue, but will be as soon as applications start using the
new range to its fullest.

NOTE: libncurses already had an version bump and has not been
given one now.

NOTE: doscmd is a real casualty and has been disconnected for
the moment. Reconnection will eventually happen after
doscmd has been fixed. I'm aware that being the last one
to touch it, I'm automaticly promoted to being maintainer.
According to good taste this means that I will receive a
badge which either will be glued or mechanically stapled,
drilled or otherwise violently forced onto me :-)

NOTE: pcvt/vttest cannot be compiled with -traditional. The
change cause sys/types to be included along the way which
contains the const and volatile modifiers. I don't consider
this a solution, but more a workaround.

Oops, backout the previous change having confused my underscores.
__thread_create is a syscall that uses the default asm. It is
_thread_create that contains specific asm code, but that lives in
libpthread.

Make cerror thread aware by calling __error() to get a pointer to the

The syscall that creates a kernel thread is coming, but it doesn't use the
default syscall asm, so add it to NOASM. The other syscalls that manipulate
kernel threads use the default asm code, so they just get built
automatically.

Nearly missed this one.

List non-default asm sources in MDASM so that they replace the defaults.

For funny or incomplete syscalls, list them in NOASM to stop them

Handle machine-dependent (stdlib) sources more automatically.

This fixes bugs in the manual handling. abs.[cS] was handled too
specially and the wrong (.c) variant for each of div.[cS], labs.[cS]
and ldiv.[cS] was added to SRCS. This caused the .c variant to be
used if `depend' was made and the .S version to be used otherwise.

Handle machine-dependent (m-d) (string) sources more automatically.
The names of m-d variants are now added (manually) to MDSRCS instead
of to SRCS, and the names of all machine-independent (m-i) variants
that can reasonably be replaced by an m-d variant are now added
(manually) to MISRCS instead of to SRCS, so that a simple substitution
can be used to discard the unused m-i variants. MISRCS is potentially
all m-i sources, but the substitution is too simple to be fast, so
MISRCS should be kept reasonably small.

libc/Makefile.inc:
Do the substitution.

libc/i386/string/Makefile.inc:
Add to MDSRCS instead of to SRCS. Add the names of all sources in this
directory, but no others.

libc/string/Makefile.inc
Add to MISRCS instead of to SRCS. Add the names of all sources in this

Changed all paths to be relative to src/lib instead of src/lib/libc

Split libc Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.inc to allow the
libc_r Makefile to include Makefile.inc too.

Use separate routines for memmove() and memcpy(). This lets me drop
the (buggy) support for alternative entry points. ALTENTRY() was only
used for memmove(). Optimizing for space was particularly silly because
memcpy() is rarely used (gcc normally inlines it).

Merged with the 1996/11/12 NetBSD version:
- use a slightly less bogus copyright. This file was never contributed
to Berkeley. It still claims to be copright by the Regents.
- use <machine/asm.h> instead of "DEFS.h".
- use RCSID($Id$) instead of explicit assembly code and messy ifdefs.
The rcsid won't be put into the object file until we make RCSID()
non-null. NetBSD uses a LIBC_SCCS ifdef here. We used a LIBC_RCS
instead, but I want RCSID() to be controlled directly by LIBC_RCS
(actually by LIB_RCS). This is the only difference with the NetBSD
version.
- added ifdefs to support generation of memcpy() and memmove(). The
other changes are "while I'm here" to get this.
- improved style of the copy backwards case.

Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c
These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the
user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np
suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA,
which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended).

I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff.

The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented
doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs
tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags.

also:

Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions.
The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was
inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with
libc.

also:

I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page.
It allows people to type

make -DWANT_LIBC_R world

to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the
pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r.


also:
The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3.
The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people
enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

Fixed comparisons so that preposterously large (>= 0x80000000) brk values
aren't silently converted to minbrk. This stops malloc(INT_MAX) from
dumping core. Small values are still silently converted. They should
be an error. sbrk() doesn't do any range checking or conversions or
overflow checking.

Moved PIC_EPILOGUE invocation to a more natural place where it
obviously doesn't interfere with the comparison.

Add support to enable libc to be compiled in ELF format. (#ifdef __ELF__)
In a nutshell, this macroizes the local/global symbol scoping rules
that are different in a.out and ELF. It also makes the i386 assembler
stubs conform to i386 PIC calling conventions - the a.out ld.so didn't
object, but the ELF one needs it as it implements PIC jumps via PLT's as
well as calls. The a.out rtld only worked because it was accidently
snooping the grandparent calling function's return address off the stack..

This also affects the libc_r code a little, because of cpp macro nesting.

Be smarter about handling overlapped copies and only go backwards if it

Fixed problem with returning -1 on error when the return value is a

This was the cause of gawk being broken (boy was THAT ever a subtle
