As per the arm Procedure Call Standard for the Arm Architecture
section 6.1.2 [1], VFP registers s16-s31 (d8-d15, q4-q7) must be
preserved across subroutine calls.
The current setjmp/longjmp implementations preserve only the core
registers, with the jump buffer size too small to store the required
co-processor registers.
In accordance with the C Library ABI for the Arm Architecture
section 6.11 [2], this patch sets _JBTYPE to long long adjusting
_JBLEN to 20.
It also emits vfp load/store instructions depending on architectural
support, predicated at compile time on ACLE feature-test macros.

Call __builtin_gcn_get_stack_limit and __builtin_gcn_first_call_this_thread_p
to reduce dependency on some register/layout assumptions by using the new
GCC mainline (GCC 13) builtins, if they are available. If not, the existing
code is used.
The first attempt to support the 64-bit mode had two bugs:
1. The saved general-purpose register 31 value was overwritten with the saved
link register value.
2. The link register was saved and restored using 32-bit instructions.
Use 64-bit store/load instructions to save/restore the link register. Make
sure that the general-purpose register 31 and the link register storage areas
do not overlap.
In a follow up patch, struct _reent is optionally replaced by dedicated
thread-local objects. In this case,_REENT is optionally defined to NULL. Add
the _REENT_IS_NULL() macro to disable this check on demand.
Add a _REENT_CLEANUP() macro to encapsulate access to the
__cleanup member of struct reent. This will help to replace the
struct member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up
patch.
Add a _REENT_STDERR() macro to encapsulate access to the _stderr
member of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct
member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.
Add a _REENT_STDOUT() macro to encapsulate access to the _stdout
member of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct
member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.
Add a _REENT_STDIN() macro to encapsulate access to the _stdin
member of struct reent. This will help to replace the struct
member with a thread-local storage object in a follow up patch.
Add a _REENT_ERRNO() macro to encapsulate the access to the
_errno member of struct reent. This will help to replace the
structure member with a thread-local storage object in a follow
up patch.
Replace uses of __errno_r() with _REENT_ERRNO(). Keep __errno_r() macro for
potential users outside of Newlib.
Remove the pointer indirection through the read-only _global_impure_ptr and
directly use a externally visible _impure_data object of type struct _reent.
This enables the static initialization of global data structures in a follow up
patch. In addition, we get rid of a machine-specific file.
The recent makefile reorganization broke the amdgcn port by creating
duplicate __malloc_lock symbols. This patch fixes the problem by renaming
the malloc_support.c file to mlock.c, thus overriding the default symbol
properly. Actually, I'm not sure how this ever worked?
Convert all the libc/ subdir makes into the top-level Makefile. This
allows us to build all of libc from the top Makefile without using any
recursive make calls. This is faster and avoids the funky lib.a logic
where we unpack subdir archives to repack into a single libc.a. The
machine override logic is maintained though by way of Makefile include
ordering, and source file accumulation in libc_a_SOURCES.
There's a few dummy.c files that are no longer necessary since we aren't
doing the lib.a accumulating, so punt them.
The winsup code has been pulling the internal newlib ssp library out,
but that doesn't exist anymore, so change that to pull the objects.
Rather than define per-object rules in the Makefile, have small files
that define & include the right content. This simplifies the build
rules, and makes understanding the source a little easier (imo) as it
makes all the subdirs behave the same: you have 1 source file and it
produces 1 object. It's also about the same amount of boiler plate,
without having to define custom build rules that can fall out of sync.
We also realign the free & pvalloc definitions: common code puts these
in malloc.o & valloc.o respectively, not in free.o & pvalloc.o objects.
This will also be important as we merge the libc.a build into the top
dir since it relies on a single flat list of objects for overrides.
The mallopt symbol is defined in tiny-malloc.c, not mallocr.c, but
the Makefile in here tries to compile it out of the latter. This
leads to mallopt never being defined.
The build also creates mallinfo.o & mallopt.o & mallstats.o objects
to override common ones, but the common dir doesn't use these names.
Instead, it places these all in mstats.o.
So move the build define logic to a dedicated file and compile it
directly to make things a bit simpler while fixing the missing func
and aligning objects with the cmomon code.
This kills off the last configure script under libc/ and folds it
into the top newlib configure script. The a lot of the logic was
already in the top configure script, so move what's left into a
libc/acinclude.m4 file.
Remove dependency on __sdidinit member of struct _reent to check
object initialization. Like __sdidinit, the __cleanup member of
struct _reent is initialized in the __sinit() function. Checking
initialization against __cleanup serves the same purpose and will
reduce overhead in the __sfp() function in a follow up patch.
The crt0.o was handled in a subdir-by-subdir basis: it would be compiled
in one (e.g. libc/sys/$arch/), then copied up one level (libc/sys/), then
copied up another (libc/) before finally being copied & installed in the
top newlib dir. The libc/sys/ copy was cleaned up, and then the top dir
was changed to copy it directly out of the libc/sys/$arch/ dir. But the
libc/sys/ copy to libc/ was left behind. Clean that up now too.
When migrating the manual to the top-level, the include order was
sorted by name of the subdir. But this changed the chapter order
of the manual in the process. Change the sorting back to match
existing chapters and update the comments to explain.
Using xxx_LIBADD, xxx_DEPENDENCIES, and EXTRA_xxx_SOURCES is one way of
conditionally including files into a target. But it's meant more for the
cases where the variables added to LIBADD & DEPENDENCIES are constructed
via substitution (e.g. AC_SUBST) or other dynamic methods. With Automake
conditionals, then the much simpler form is to conditionally append to
the xxx_SOURCES variable and let Automake sort everything out.
Replace the custom build rules (which require copying & pasting from the
current Makefile) with small stub files. This allows us to drop the rules
entirely and let Automake provide everything.
These subdirs don't actually use anything from libm. The common dir
in particular only has 4 header files, and none are included here.
The xstormy16 code has a comment mentioning why this hack is here, but
it refers to code that was removed when its configure script was merged
up a level.
This is used in a bunch of places, but nowhere is it ever set, and
nowhere can I find any documentation, nor can I find any other project
using it. So delete the flags to simplify.
This was only ever used for i?86-pc-linux-gnu targets, but that's been
broken for years, and has since been dropped. So clean this up too.
This also deletes the funky objectlist logic since it only existed for
the libtool libraries. Since it was the only thing left in the small
Makefile.shared file, we can punt that too.
Now that we use AC_NO_EXECUTABLES, and we require a recent version of
autoconf, we don't need to define our own copies of these macros. So
switch to the standard AC_PROG_CC.
THe stdio subdir is actually required by the documentation. The
stdio/def is handled dynamically, but libc.texi always expects it
to be included, and fails if it isn't. So making it required when
building docs is safe.
The xdr subdir is handled dynamically, but it doesn't include any
docs, so the dynamic logic isn't (currently) adding any value. So
making it required when building docs is safe.
That leaves: iconv, stdio64, posix, and signal subdirs. The chapters
have a little disclaimer saying they are system-dependent, but even
then, imo having stable manuals regardless of the target is preferable,
and we can add more disclaimer language to these chapters if we want.
This doesn't touch the man page codepaths, just the info/pdf.
This isn't strictly necessary, but it makes for much clearer logs as
to what the target is doing, and provides cache vars for anyone who
wants to force the test a different way, and it lets the build cache
its own results when rerunning config.status.
When we had configure scripts in subdirs, the newlib_basedir value
was computed relative to that, and it'd be the same when used in the
Makefile in the same dir. With many subdir configure scripts removed,
the top-level configure & Makefile can't use the same relative path.
So switch the subdir Makefiles over to abs_newlib_basedir when they
use -I to find source headers.
Do this for all subdirs, even ones with configure scripts and where
newlib_basedir works. This makes the code consistent, and avoids
surprises if the configure script is ever removed in the future as
part of merging to the higher level.
Some of the subdirs were using -I$(newlib_basedir)/../newlib/ for
some reason. Collapse those too since newlib_basedir points to the
newlib source tree already.
When using the top-level configure script but subdir Makefiles, the
newlib_basedir value gets a bit out of sync: it's relative to where
configure lives, not where the Makefile lives. Move the abs setting
from the top-level configure script into acinclude.m4 so we can rely
on it being available everywhere. Although this commit doesn't use
it anywhere, just lays the groundwork.
The machine configure scripts are all effectively stub scripts that
pass the higher level options to its own makefile. There were only
three doing custom tests. The rest were all effectively the same as
the libc/ configure script.
So instead of recursively running configure in all of these subdirs,
generate their makefiles from the top-level configure. For the few
unique ones, deploy a pattern of including subdir logic via m4:
m4_include([machine/nds32/acinclude.m4])
Some of the generated machine makefiles have a bunch of extra stuff
added to them, but that's because they were inconsistent in their
configure libtool calls. The top-level has it, so it exports some
new vars to the ones that weren't already.
The machine/{configure,Makefile} files exist only to fan out to the
specific machine/$arch/ subdir. We already have all that same info
in the libc/ dir itself, so by moving the recursive configure and
make calls into it, we can cut off this logic entirely and save the
overhead.
For arches that don't have a machine subdir, it means they can skip
the logic entirely. Although there's prob not too many of those.
This makes the makefile logic a bit cleaner so we don't have two
files maintaining lists of sources & objects. Since the logic is
tied to cpu capabilities, past those boolean settings down from
the configure logic to the makefile logic.
This will also make it easier to throw away the configure script
in a follow up commit and just keep the makefile.
The nds32 & spu dirs are using compile tests to look for some
preprocessor defines, but we don't need to compile the code,
just preprocess it. So switch to AC_PREPROC_IFELSE.
The sh dir is using a preprocessor test via grep, but let's
switch it to AC_PREPROC_IFELSE too to be consistent.
This should allow us to drop the uncommon AC_NO_EXECUTABLES call.
It's unclear why this was added originally, but assuming it was needed
20 years ago, it shouldn't be explicitly required nowadays. Current
versions of autotools already take care of exporting LDFLAGS to the
Makefile as needed (things are actually getting linked). That's why
the configure diffs show LDFLAGS still here, but shifted to a diff
place in the output list. A few dirs stop exporting LDFLAGS, but
that's because they don't do any linking, only compiling, so it's
correct.
As for the use of $ldflags instead of the standard $LDFLAGS, I can't
really explain that at all. Just use the right name so users don't
have to dig into why their setting isn't respected, and then use a
non-standard name instead. Adjust the testsuite to match.
Since AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE calls AC_PROG_AWK, and some configure.ac
scripts call it too, we end up testing for awk multiple times. If
we change NEWLIB_CONFIGURE to require the macro instead, then it
makes sure it's always expanded, but only once.
While we're here, do the same thing with AC_PROG_INSTALL since it
is also called by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, although it doesn't currently
result in duplicate configure checks.
The AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL macro has been deprecated for a while and code
should call LT_INIT with win32-dll instead. Update the calls to match.
The generated code is noisy not because of substantial differences, but
because the order of some macros change (i.e. instead of calling AS and
then CC, CC is called first and then AS).
