The pre-ARMv7 CPUs are missing atomic compare and exchange and/or
barrier instructions. Therefore those are implemented using kernel
assistance, calling a kernel function at a specific address, and passing
the arguments in the r0 to r4 registers. This is done by specifying
registers for local variables. The a_ptr variable is placed in the r2
register and declared with __typeof (mem). According to the GCC
documentation on local register variables, if mem is a constant pointer,
the compiler may substitute the variable with its initializer in asm
statements, which may cause the corresponding operand to appear in a
different register.
This happens in __libc_start_main with the pointer to the thread counter
for static binaries (but not the shared ones):
# ifdef SHARED
unsigned int *ptr = __libc_pthread_functions.ptr_nthreads;
# ifdef PTR_DEMANGLE
PTR_DEMANGLE (ptr);
# endif
# else
extern unsigned int __nptl_nthreads __attribute ((weak));
unsigned int *const ptr = &__nptl_nthreads;
# endif
This causes static binaries using threads to crash when the GNU libc is
built with GCC 8 and most notably tst-cancel21-static.
To fix that, use the same trick than for the volatile qualifier,
defining a_ptr as a union.
Changelog:
[BZ #24034]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/atomic-machine.h
(__arm_assisted_compare_and_exchange_val_32_acq): Use uint32_t rather
than __typeof (...) for the a_ptr variable.
It was noted in
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2012-09/msg00305.html> that the
bits/*.h naming scheme should only be used for installed headers.
This patch renames bits/atomic.h to atomic-machine.h to follow that
convention.
This is the only change in this series that needs to change the
filename rather than simply removing a directory level (because both
atomic.h and bits/atomic.h exist at present).
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite, and that installed stripped shared
libraries are unchanged by the patch).
