If a signal is delivered to a thread waiting for a condition variable,

cwdstuff: Don't leave from setting the CWD prematurely on init
There are certain, very obscure scenarios, which render the Windows
CWD handle inaccessible for reopening. An easy one is, the handle can
be NULL if the permissions of the CWD changed under the parent processes
feet.
Originally we just set errno and returned, but in case of init at
process startup that left the "posix" member NULL and subsequent
calls to getcwd failed with EFAULT.
We now check for a NULL handle and change the reopen approach
accordingly. If that doesn't work, try to duplicate the handle instead.
If duplicating fails, too, we set the dir handle to NULL and carry on.
This will at least set posix to some valid path and subsequent getcwd
calls won't fail. A NULL dir handle is ok, because we already do this
for virtual paths.

Preserve order of dlopen'd modules in dll_list::topsort
This patch alters the behaviour of dll_list::topsort to preserve the
order of dlopen'd units.
The load order of unrelated DLLs is reversed every time fork is called,
since dll_list::topsort finds the tail of the list and then unwinds to
reinsert items. My change takes advantage of what should be undefined
behaviour in dll_list::populate_deps (ndeps non-zero and ndeps and deps
not initialised) to allow the deps field to be initialised prior to the
call and appended to, rather than overwritten.
All DLLs which have been dlopen'd have their deps list initialised with
the list of all previously dlopen'd units. These extra dependencies mean
that the unwind preserves the order of dlopen'd units.
The motivation for this is the FlexDLL linker used in OCaml. The FlexDLL
linker allows a dlopen'd unit to refer to symbols in previously dlopen'd
units and it resolves these symbols in DllMain before anything else has
initialised (including the Cygwin DLL). This means that dependencies may
exist between dlopen'd units (which the OCaml runtime system
understands) but which Windows is unaware of. During fork, the
process-level table which FlexDLL uses to get the symbol table of each
DLL is copied over but because the load order of dlopen'd DLLs is
reversed, it is possible for FlexDLL to attempt to access memory in the
DLL before it has been loaded and hence it fails with an access
violation. Because the list is reversed on each call to fork, it means
that a subsequent call to fork puts the DLLs back into the correct
order, hence "even" invocations of fork work!
An interesting side-effect is that this only occurs if the DLLs load at
their preferred base address - if they have to be rebased, then FlexDLL
works because at the time that the dependent unit is loaded out of
order, there is still in memory the "dummy" DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES
version of the dependency which, as it happens, will contain the correct
symbol table in the data section. For my tests, this initially appeared
to be an x86-only problem, but that was only because the two DLLs on x64
should have been rebased.

The changes in af272aca591fe1dc0f1be64ae5bda147ea98a047 only works when
using gcc/g++ with -E or -save-temps, otherwise newlib's newlib.h gets
used even if -specs=nano.specs is specified. This is because the driver
only use cpp_options spec for the external cpp tool, not for the
integrated one.
This patch uses instead cpp_unique_options which is used in all cases:
it is used directly when the integrated preprocessor is used, and
indirectly by expansion of cpp_options otherwise.
At the moment when targeting bare-metal targets or systems without
definition for the locking primitives newlib, uses dummy empty macros.
This has the advantage of reduced size and faster implementation but
does not allow the application to retarget the locking routines.
Retargeting is useful for a single toolchain to support multiple systems
since then it's only at link time that you know which system you are
targeting.
This patch adds a new configure option
--enable-newlib-retargetable-locking to use dummy empty functions
instead of dummy empty macros. The default is to keep the current
behavior to not have any size or speed impact on targets not interested
in this feature. To allow for any size of lock, the _LOCK_T type is
changed into pointer to struct _lock and the _init function are tasked
with allocating the locks. The platform being targeted must provide the
static locks. A dummy implementation of the locking routines and static
lock is provided for single-threaded applications to link successfully
out of the box.
To ensure that the behavior is consistent (either no locking whatsoever
or working locking), the dummy implementation is strongly defined such
that a partial retargeting will cause a doubly defined link error.
Indeed, the linker will only pull in the file providing the dummy
implementation if it cannot find an implementation for one of the
routine or lock.
Newlib build system defines __SINGLE_THREAD__ to allow concurrency code
to be only compiled when newlib is configured for multithread. One such
example are locks which become useless in single thread mode. Although
most static locks are indeed guarded by !defined(__SINGLE_THREAD__),
some are not.
This commit adds these missing guards to __dd_hash_mutex,
__atexit_recursive_mutex, __at_quick_exit_mutex and __arc4random_mutex.
It also makes sure locking macros in lock.h are noop in single thread
mode.

comes with its own cpp spec which does not have a name attached to it.
This patch uses the renaming trick on cpp_options instead of cpp, as
cpp_options is used both by cc1 and cc1plus.

At Windows we love what you are doing with Cygwin. However, we have

Windows. Iperf is of course compiled against the cygwin1.dll and we
believe we have traced the problem down to the function fdsock in
net.cc. SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF are being manually set. The comments
indicate that the idea was to increase the buffer size, but, this code
must have been written long ago because Windows has used autotuning
for a very long time now. Please do not manually set SO_RCVBUF or
SO_SNDBUF as this will limit your internet speed.
I am providing a patch, an STC and my cygcheck -svr output. Hope we
can fix this. Please let me know if I can help further.
Simple Test Case:
I have a script that pings 4 times and then iperfs for 10 seconds to
debit.k-net.fr
With patch
$ bash buffer_test.sh 178.250.209.22
usage: bash buffer_test.sh <iperf server name>

Reply from 178.250.209.22: bytes=32 time=169ms TTL=34
The output shows that the RTT from my machine to the iperf server is
similar in both cases (about 170ms) however with the patch the
throughput averages 129 Mbps while without the patch the throughput
only averages 11.7 Mbps. If we calculate the maximum throughput using
Bandwidth = Queue/RTT we get (212992 * 8)/0.170 = 10.0231 Mbps. This
is just about what iperf is showing us without the patch since the
buffer size is set to 212992 I believe that the buffer size is
limiting the throughput. With the patch we have no buffer limitation
(autotuning) and can develop the full potential bandwidth on the link.
If you want to duplicate the STC you will have to find an iperf server
(I found an extreme case) that has a large enough RTT distance from
you and try a few times. I get varying results depending on Internet
traffic but without the patch never exceed the limit caused by the
buffering.

The termios code doesn't handle erasing of multibyte characters
in canonical mode, it always erases a single byte. When entering

Following Linux we introduce the IUTF8 input flag now, set by

if the just erased input byte is a UTF-8 continuation byte. If
so, it erases another byte and checks again until the entire
UTF-8 character has been removed from the input buffer.
Note that this (just as on Linux) does NOT work with arbitrary
multibyte codesets. This only works with UTF-8.

transaction and retry opening the file without transaction.
But, here's the problem: If newfile is in use, NtOpenFile(oldfile)
naturally does NOT fail with a transactional error. Rather, the
subsequent call to unlink_nt(newfile) does, because there's another

Fix incorrect cast in nano malloc
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.
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.
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.
