13 years agooverhaul syscall interface
Rich Felker [Sat, 19 Mar 2011 22:51:42 +0000 (18:51 -0400)]
overhaul syscall interface

this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
__NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.

previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.

further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.

this code was written independently of musl, with support for a the
backwards, nonstandard "31-bit unicode" some libraries/apps might
want. unfortunately the extra code (inside #ifdef) makes the source
harder to read and makes code that should be simple look complex, so
i'm removing it. anyone who wants to use the old code can find it in
the history or from elsewhere.

also, change the visibility of the __fsmu8 state machine table to
hidden, if supported. this should improve performance slightly in
shared-library builds.

Rich Felker [Thu, 24 Feb 2011 21:37:21 +0000 (16:37 -0500)]
various changes in preparation for dynamic linking support

prefer using visibility=hidden for __libc internal data, rather than
an accessor function, if the compiler has visibility.

optimize with -O3 for PIC targets (shared library). without heavy
inlining, reloading the GOT register in small functions kills
performance. 20-30% size increase for a single libc.so is not a big
deal, compared to comparaible size increase in every static binaries.

use -Bsymbolic-functions, not -Bsymbolic. global variables are subject
to COPY relocations, and thus binding their addresses in the library
at link time will cause library functions to read the wrong (original)
copies instead of the copies made in the main program's bss section.

add entry point, _start, for dynamic linker.

13 years agouse an accessor function for __libc data pointer when compiled as PIC
Rich Felker [Mon, 21 Feb 2011 03:30:06 +0000 (22:30 -0500)]
use an accessor function for __libc data pointer when compiled as PIC

prior to this change, a large portion of libc was unusable prior to
relocation by the dynamic linker, due to dependence on the global data
in the __libc structure and the need to obtain its address through the
GOT. with this patch, the accessor function __libc_loc is now able to
obtain the address of __libc via PC-relative addressing without using
the GOT. this means the majority of libc functionality is now
accessible right away.

naturally, the above statements all depend on having an architecture
where PC-relative addressing and jumps/calls are feasible, and a
compiler that generates the appropriate code.

avoid referencing address of extern function from vdprintf

this change is in preparation for upcoming PIC/shared library support.
the intent is to avoid going through the GOT, mainly so that dprintf
is operable immediately, prior to processing of relocations. having
dprintf accessible from the dynamic linker will make writing and
debugging the dynamic linker much easier.
