As described in nano-mallocr.c, chunks of heap are represented in memory
as a size (of type long), followed by some optional padding containing a
negative offset to size, followed by the data area.
get_chunk_from_ptr is responsible for taking a pointer to the data area
(as returned by malloc) and finding the start of the chunk. It does this
by assuming there is no padding and trying to read the size, if the size
is negative then it uses that as an offset to find the true size.
Crucially, it reads the padding area as a long.
nano_malloc is responsible for populating the optional padding area. It
does so by casting a pointer to an (int *) and writing the negative
offset into it.
This means that padding is being written as an int but read as a long.
On msp430 an int is 2 bytes, while a long is 4 bytes. This means that 2
bytes are written to the padding, but 4 bytes are read from it: it has
only been partially initialised.
nano_malloc is the default malloc implementation for msp430.
This patch changes the cast from (int *) to (long *). The change to
nano_malloc has has been observed to fix a TI Energia project that
had been malfunctioning because malloc was returning invalid addresses.
The change to nano_memalign is based entirely on code inspection.
I've built and tested as follows:
Configured (gcc+newlib) with: --target=msp430-elf --enable-languages=c
gcc testsuite variations:
msp430-sim/-mcpu=msp430
msp430-sim/-mcpu=msp430x
msp430-sim/-mcpu=msp430x/-mlarge/-mdata-region=either/-mcode-region=either
msp430-sim/-mhwmult=none
msp430-sim/-mhwmult=f5series
My testing has shown no regressions, however I don't know if the gcc
testsuite provides sufficient coverage for this patch?
I don't have write access, so if this patch is acceptable after review,
I would appreciate it if someone would commit it for me.
Thanks,

commit 67fd2101 introduced a bad bug. Changing sys_privs to a static
area and just returning a pointer is nice... *if* the calling code doesn't
call free() on it. Make sure callers check pointer for sys_privs and
refrain from calling free, if so.

There is no change if libtool is used.
Some run-time support libraries provided by GCC (e.g. libgomp) use
configure checks to detect certain features, e.g. availability of
thread-local storage. The configure script generates a test program and
tries to compile and link it. It should use target libraries and
startfiles of the build tree if available and not random ones from the
installation prefix for this procedure. The search directories
specified by -B are a bit special, see for_each_path() in gcc.c of the
GCC sources. First a search is performed on all search paths with the
multilib directory appended (if desired), then a second search is
performed on demand with the base directory only. For each multilib
there is a "newlib" subdirectory. This directory is specified by a -B
option for the support libraries. In order to find the newlib artifacts
(ctr0.o, libc.a, libg.a and libm.a) they must be located in a proper
multilib subdirectory withing the build directory.

__sinit initialises some common file descriptors as line buffered and
relies on the first users of such FDs to call __smakebuf_r. If
__smakebuf_r realises there's no space for a buffer (malloc returns
NULL), it makes them unbuffered. However, while setting the __SNBF
bit, it doesn't clear the __SLBF bit in the flags. Depending on the
order in which functions check buffering flags in the FD, sometime
they assume it's line buffered (e.g. __sfvwrite_r), trashing
application memory that's not really been allocated to them.
This patch solves the problem by clearing the unbuffered/line buffered
flag when setting the line buffered/unbuffered flag.
GNU no longer encourages the use of documentation mirrors, to avoid

In preparation of exporting getentropy/getrandom to userspace, rearrange

- Define RtlGenRandom in ntdll.h.
- Drop calls to getentropy in favor of RtlGenRandom (fhandler_socket,
fhandler_dev_random).
- Add try/except blocks in fhandler_dev_random to return EFAULT rather
than crashing if buffer pointer is invalid.

NtOpenFile/NtCreateFile on non-existent paths on network drives has a
bug. Assuming a path Z:\dir\file. Further assuming that Z:\dir does
not exist.
The first NtOpenFile("Z:\dir\file") correctly returns
STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND. Subsequent calls incorrectly
return STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND.
This appears to be some kind of caching behaviour. Waiting a while
before repeating the call correctly returns STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND
again.
This patch works around the observed misbehaviour.

Turn pthread_spinlock_t into a self-contained object. On uni-processor
configurations, interrupts are disabled in the lock/trylock operations
and the previous interrupt status is restored in the corresponding
unlock operations. On SMP configurations, a ticket lock is a acquired
