math: use double_t for temporaries to avoid stores on i386
When FLT_EVAL_METHOD!=0 (only i386 with x87 fp) the excess
precision of an expression must be removed in an assignment.
(gcc needs -fexcess-precision=standard or -std=c99 for this)
This is done by extra load/store instructions which adds code
bloat when lot of temporaries are used and it makes the result
less precise in many cases.
Using double_t and float_t avoids these issues on i386 and
it makes no difference on other archs.

precision is clearly beneficial (mostly polynomial evaluations
with temporaries).

always block signals in pthread_exit before decrementing thread count
the thread count (1+libc.threads_minus_1) must always be greater than
or equal to the number of threads which could have application code
running, even in an async-signal-safe sense. there is at least one
dangerous race condition if this invariant fails to hold: dlopen could
allocate too little TLS for existing threads, and a signal handler
running in the exiting thread could claim the allocated TLS for itself
(via __tls_get_addr), leaving too little for the other threads it was
allocated for and thereby causing out-of-bounds access.
there may be other situations where it's dangerous for the thread
count to be too low, particularly in the case where only one thread
should be left, in which case locking may be omitted. however, all
such code paths seem to arise from undefined behavior, since
async-signal-unsafe functions are not permitted to be called from a
signal handler that interrupts pthread_exit (which is itself
async-signal-unsafe).
this change may also simplify logic in __synccall and improve the

mbrtowc: do not leave mbstate_t in permanent-fail state after EILSEQ
the standard is clear that the old behavior is conforming: "In this
case, [EILSEQ] shall be stored in errno and the conversion state is
undefined."
however, the specification of mbrtowc has one peculiarity when the
source argument is a null pointer: in this case, it's required to
behave as mbrtowc(NULL, "", 1, ps). no motivation is provided for this
requirement, but the natural one that comes to mind is that the intent
is to reset the mbstate_t object. for stateful encodings, such
behavior is actually specified: "If the corresponding wide character
is the null wide character, the resulting state described shall be the
initial conversion state." but in the case of UTF-8 where the
mbstate_t object contains a partially-decoded character rather than a
shift state, a subsequent '\0' byte indicates that the previous
partial character is incomplete and thus an illegal sequence.
naturally, applications using their own mbstate_t object should clear
it themselves after an error, but the standard presently provides no
way to clear the builtin mbstate_t object used when the ps argument is
a null pointer. I suspect this issue may be addressed in the future by
specifying that a null source argument resets the state, as this seems
to have been the intent all along.
for what it's worth, this change also slightly reduces code size.

the value of SB was one-past the last valid starter. this caused

full-character decoding tests, since the bogus state read from just
past the table was unlikely to admit any continuation bytes as valid,

byte-at-a-time decoding in mbrtowc: it would cause the funtion to
wrongly return -2 rather than -1.
I may eventually go back and remove all references to SA and SB,

exceeding the buffer length. this could lead to invalid reads and
leaking additional data to syslog.
2. openlog was storing a pointer to the ident string passed by the
caller, rather than copying it. this bug is shared with (and even
documented in) other implementations like glibc, but such behavior
does not seem to meet the requirements of the standard.
3. extremely long ident provided to openlog, or corrupt ident due to
the above issue, could possibly have resulted in buffer overflows.
despite having the potential for smashing the stack, i believe the
impact is low since ident points to a short string literal in typical
application usage (and per the above bug, other usages will break
horribly on other implementations).
4. when used with LOG_NDELAY, openlog was not connecting the
newly-opened socket; sendto was being used instead. this defeated the
main purpose of LOG_NDELAY: preparing for chroot.
5. the default facility was not being used at all, so all messages
without an explicit facility passed to syslog were getting logged at
the kernel facility.
6. setlogmask was not thread-safe; no synchronization was performed
updating the mask. the fix uses atomics rather than locking to avoid
introducing a lock in the fast path for messages whose priority is not
in the mask.
7. in some code paths, the syslog lock was being unlocked twice; this
could result in releasing a lock that was actually held by a different
thread.
some additional enhancements to syslog such as a default identifier
based on argv[0] or similar may still be desired; at this time, only
the above-listed bugs have been fixed.

remove soname from libc.so/ld-musl
it serves no purpose (binaries linked against musl as -lc/libc.so
automatically get the right DT_NEEDED value of libc.so) and causes
ldconfig to misbehave (making a symlink to ld-musl named libc.so in
/lib). ldconfig is not used on pure musl systems, but if ld-musl is
installed on a system where it's not the primary libc, this will
pollute the system /lib with a symlink to musl named libc.so, which
should NOT exist and could cause problems linking native apps. also,
the existence of the soname caused spurious warnings from ldconfig
when /lib and /usr/lib were the same physical directory.

fix epoll structure alignment on non-x86_64 archs
this fix is far from ideal and breaks the rule of not using
arch-specific #ifdefs, but for now we just need a solution to the
existing breakage.
the underlying problem is that the kernel folks made a very stupid
decision to make misalignment of this struct part of the kernel
API/ABI for x86_64, in order to avoid writing a few extra lines of
code to handle both 32- and 64-bit userspace on 64-bit kernels. I had
just added the packed attribute unconditionally thinking it was
harmless on 32-bit archs, but non-x86 32-bit archs have 8-byte
alignment on 64-bit types.

fix types for wctype_t and wctrans_t
wctype_t was incorrectly "int" rather than "long" on x86_64. not only
is this an ABI incompatibility; it's also a major design flaw if we
ever wanted wctype_t to be implemented as a pointer, which would be
necessary if locales support custom character classes, since int is
too small to store a converted pointer. this commit fixes wctype_t to
be unsigned long on all archs, matching the LSB ABI; this change does
not matter for C code, but for C++ it affects mangling.
the same issue applied to wctrans_t. glibc/LSB defines this type as
const __int32_t *, but since no such definition is visible, I've just
expanded the definition, int, everywhere.
it would be nice if these types (which don't vary by arch) could be in
wctype.h, but the OB XSI requirement in POSIX that wchar.h expose some
types and functions from wctype.h precludes doing so. glibc works
around this with some hideous hacks, but trying to duplicate that
would go against the intent of musl's headers.

lenl-lenr is not a valid expression for a signed int return value from

improve error strings
this definitely has the potential to be a bikeshed topic, so some
justification is in order. most of the changes made fit into one of
the following categories:
1. alignment with text in posix, xsh 2.3
2. eliminating overly-specific text for shared error codes
3. making the message match more closely with the macro name
4. removing extraneous words
in particular, the EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK text is updated to match the
description of EAGAIN (which covers both uses) rather than saying the
operation would block, and ENOTSUP/EOPNOTSUPP is updated not to
mention sockets.
the distinction between ENFILE/EMFILE has also been clarified; ENFILE
is aligned with the posix text, and EMFILE, which lacks concise posix
text matching any historic message, is updated to emphasize that the
exhausted resource is not open files/open file descriptions, but
rather the integer 'address space' of file descriptors.
some messages may be further tweaked based on feedback.
