1507ebf837334e9e07cfab1ca1c2e88449069a80 introduced the codeset

the standard places basically no requirements for the string returned
by nl_langinfo(CODESET) and how it interacts with other interfaces, so
returning "UTF-8" is permissible. moreover, it seems like the right
thing to do, since the identity of the character encoding as "UTF-8"

Build process uses script to add CFI directives to x86 asm
Some functions implemented in asm need to use EBP for purposes other
than acting as a frame pointer. (Notably, it is used for the 6th
argument to syscalls with 6 arguments.) Without frame pointers, GDB
can only show backtraces if it gets CFI information from a
.debug_frame or .eh_frame ELF section.
Rather than littering our asm with ugly .cfi directives, use an awk
script to insert them in the right places during the build process, so
GDB can keep track of where the current stack frame is relative to the
stack pointer. This means GDB can produce beautiful stack traces at
any given point when single-stepping through asm functions.
Additionally, when registers are saved on the stack and later
overwritten, emit ..cfi directives so GDB will know where they were
saved relative to the stack pointer. This way, when you look back up
the stack from within an asm function, you can still reliably print
the values of local variables in the caller.
If this awk script were to understand every possible wild and crazy
contortion that an asm programmer can do with the stack and registers,
and always emit the exact ..cfi directives needed for GDB to know what
the register values were in the preceding stack frame, it would
necessarily be as complex as a full x86 emulator. That way lies
madness.
Hence, we assume that the stack pointer will _only_ ever be adjusted
using push/pop or else add/sub with a constant. We do not attempt to
detect every possible way that a register value could be saved for
later use, just the simple and common ways.

mitigate blow-up of heap size under malloc/free contention
during calls to free, any free chunks adjacent to the chunk being
freed are momentarily held in allocated state for the purpose of

to expand the heap rather than waiting to use memory that will soon be
available. the race window where this happens is normally very small,

physical memory, causing unbounded heap size growth.
this patch drastically shrinks the race window for unwanted heap
expansion by performing madvise with the bin lock held and marking the

syscall. testing by Timo Teräs has shown this approach to be a
suitable mitigation.

to issue a futex wait, and using a stale count will result in soft

barrier rather than performing the store itself using xchg; this
avoids the need to read the cache line on which the store is being

switch to using trap number 31 for syscalls on sh
nominally the low bits of the trap number on sh are the number of
syscall arguments, but they have never been used by the kernel, and
some code making syscalls does not even know the number of arguments
and needs to pass an arbitrary high number anyway.
sh3/sh4 traditionally used the trap range 16-31 for syscalls, but part
of this range overlapped with hardware exceptions/interrupts on sh2
hardware, so an incompatible range 32-47 was chosen for sh2.
using trap number 31 everywhere, since it's in the existing sh3/sh4
range and does not conflict with sh2 hardware, is a proposed
unification of the kernel syscall convention that will allow binaries
to be shared between sh2 and sh3/sh4. if this is not accepted into the
kernel, we can refit the sh2 target with runtime selection mechanisms
for the trap number, but doing so would be invasive and would entail
non-trivial overhead.

thus, the approach used on most archs, where __unmapself executes with
no stack for the interval between SYS_munmap and SYS_exit, is not
viable on sh2.
in order not to pessimize sh3/sh4, the sh asm version of __unmapself

calls either the generic (safe) __unmapself or the sh3/sh4 asm,

add support for sh2 interrupt-masking-based atomics to sh port
the sh2 target is being considered an ISA subset of sh3/sh4, in the
sense that binaries built for sh2 are intended to be usable on later
cpu models/kernels with mmu support. so rather than hard-coding
sh2-specific atomics, the runtime atomic selection mechanisms that was
already in place has been extended to add sh2 atomics.
at this time, the sh2 atomics are not SMP-compatible; since the ISA
lacks actual atomic operations, the new code instead masks interrupts
for the duration of the atomic operation, producing an atomic result
on single-core. this is only possible because the kernel/hardware does
not impose protections against userspace doing so. additional changes
will be needed to support future SMP systems.
care has been taken to avoid producing significant additional code

byte-based C locale, phase 2: stdio and iconv (multibyte callers)
this patch adjusts libc components which use the multibyte functions
internally, and which depend on them operating in a particular
encoding, to make the appropriate locale changes before calling them
and restore the calling thread's locale afterwards. activating the
byte-based C locale without these changes would cause regressions in
stdio and iconv.
in the case of iconv, the current implementation was simply using the
multibyte functions as UTF-8 conversions. setting a multibyte UTF-8
locale for the duration of the iconv operation allows the code to
continue working.
in the case of stdio, POSIX requires that FILE streams have an
encoding rule bound at the time of setting wide orientation. as long
as all locales, including the C locale, used the same encoding,
treating high bytes as UTF-8, there was no need to store an encoding
rule as part of the stream's state.
a new locale field in the FILE structure points to the locale that
should be made active during fgetwc/fputwc/ungetwc on the stream. it
cannot point to the locale active at the time the stream becomes
oriented, because this locale could be mutable (the global locale) or
could be destroyed (locale_t objects produced by newlocale) before the
stream is closed. instead, a pointer to the static C or C.UTF-8 locale

in malloc, refuse to use brk if it grows into stack

on powerpc, but only for RELA format tables with out-of-line addends.
REL table (inline addends at the relocation address) reprocessing is
trickier because the first relocation pass clobbers the addends.
this patch extends symbolic relocation reprocessing for libc/ldso to
support all relocation types, whether REL or RELA format tables are
used. it is believed not to alter behavior on any existing archs for
the current dynamic linker and libc code. the motivations for this
change are consistency and future-proofing. it ensures that behavior
does not differ depending on whether REL or RELA tables are used,
which could lead to undetected arch-specific bugs. it also ensures
that, if in the future code depending on additional relocation types
is added to libc.so, either at the source level or as part of the
compiler runtime that gets pulled in (for example, soft-float with TLS
for fenv), the new code will work properly.
the implementation concept is simple: stage 2 of the dynamic linker
counts the number of symbolic relocations in the libc/ldso REL table
and allocates a VLA to save their addends into; stage 3 then uses the
saved addends in place of the inline ones which were clobbered. for
stack safety, a hard limit (currently 4k) is imposed on the number of
such addends; this should be a couple orders of magnitude larger than
the actual need. this number is not a runtime variable that could
break fail-safety; it is constant for a given libc.so build.

i386 and x86_64 versions already had the .text directive; other archs
did not. normally, top-level (file scope) __asm__ starts in the .text
section anyway, but problems were reported with some versions of
clang, and it seems preferable to set it explicitly anyway, at least
for the sake of consistency between archs.

remove outdated and misleading comment in iconv.c
the comment claimed that EUC/GBK/Big5 are not implemented, which has
been incorrect since commit
19b4a0a20efc6b9df98b6a43536ecdd628ba4643.

in iconv_open, accept "CHAR" and "" as aliases for "UTF-8"
while not a requirement, it's common convention in other iconv
implementations to accept "CHAR" as an alias for nl_langinfo(CODESET),
meaning the encoding used for char[] strings in the current locale,
and also "" as an alternate form. supporting this is not costly and
improves compatibility.

fix inconsistency in a_and and a_or argument types on x86[_64]
conceptually, and on other archs, these functions take a pointer to
int, but in the i386, x86_64, and x32 versions of atomic.h, they took
a pointer to void instead.
