MFC r245133:
Only assign the environ in the startup code when environ is NULL.

Note that this is not the merge, but a reimplementation of the fix,
done for the not-consolidated code in the stable/9.

MFC r234502:

After r217375, some startup objects under lib/csu are built in a special
way: first they are compiled to assembly, then some sed'ing is done on
the assembly, and lastly the assembly is compiled to an object file.

This last step is done using ${CC}, and not ${AS}, because when the
compiler is clang, it outputs directives that are too advanced for our
old gas. So we use clang's integrated assembler instead. (When the
compiler is gcc, it just calls gas, and nothing is different, except one
extra fork.)

However, in the .s to .o rules in lib/csu/$ARCH/Makefile, I still passed
CFLAGS to the compiler, instead of ACFLAGS, which are specifically for
compiling .s files.

In case you are using '-g' for debug info anywhere in your CFLAGS, it
causes the .s files to already contain debug information in the assembly
itself. In the next step, the .s files are also compiled using '-g',
and if the compiler is clang, it complains: "error: input can't have
.file dwarf directives when -g is used to generate dwarf debug info for
assembly code".

Fix this by using ${ACFLAGS} for compiling the .s files instead.

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


217375 13-Jan-2011 dim

Apply a workaround for a binutils issue with the .note.ABI-tag section
generated from lib/csu/common/crtbrand.c (which ultimately ends up in
executables and shared libraries, via crt1.o, gcrt1.o or Scrt1.o).

For all arches except sparc, gcc emits the section directive for the
abitag struct in crtbrand.c with a PROGBITS type. However, newer
versions of binutils (after 2.16.90) require the section to be of NOTE
type, to guarantee that the .note.ABI-tag section correctly ends up in
the first page of the final executable.

Unfortunately, there is no clean way to tell gcc to use another section
type, so crtbrand.c (or the C files that include it) must be compiled in
multiple steps:

- Compile the .c file to a .s file.
- Edit the .s file to change the 'progbits' type to 'note', for the section
directive that defines the .note.ABI-tag section.
- Compile the .s file to an object file.

These steps are done in the invididual Makefiles for each applicable arch.

For gcc' __builtin_frame_address() to work, all call frames need to save
frame pointer. In particular, this is important for the upper frame that

Fixed profiling of main() for amd64 and i386. This started rotting
in 1993 in rev.1.5 of the i386 a.out version (csu/i386/crt0.c).
Profiling uses a magic label "eprol" to delimit the start of the part
of the text section covered by profiling. This label must be placed
before the call to main() to get main() properly profiled. It was
placed there in rev.1.1 of crt0.c. Rev.1.5 imported the initial
implementation of shared libraries in FreeBSD and misplaced the label.
Fortunately, the misplaced label was misspelled and the old label
wasn't removed, so the new label had no effect. Unfortunately, when
profiling was implemented for the ELF in 1998 in rev.1.2 of
csu/i386-elf/crt1.c, only the incorrectly placed label was copied
(after fixing its name). The bug was then copied to all other arches.
The label seems to be still misplaced in NetBSD for most arches. It
is in common.c for most arches so it is even further from being inside
the function that calls main().

I think "eprol" is short for "end of prologue", but it must be placed
before the end of the prologue so that it covers main(). crt0.c has
it before the calls atexit(_mcleanup) and monstartup(...), but it
cannot affect these calls so I moved it after the call to monstartup().
It now also covers the call to _init() but not the newer call to
_init_tls(). Profiling of _init() seems to be harmless, and the call
to _init_tls() seems to be misplaced.

Backed out previous commit (alignment suitable for RELENG_4) as planned
since it has been MFC'ed. See the log message for the previous commit
for more details. The alignment bug in gcc-3 has not been fixed, but
it is not very serious and the previous commit just moved it (as intended).

Approved by: re (murray)


104143 29-Sep-2002 bde

Align the stack suitably for the version of gcc in FreeBSD-4 (provided
-fomit-frame-pointer is not used). This is mostly moot for -current
because gcc-3 does the alignment (slightly incorrectly) in main().

This patch is intended for easy MFC'ing and should be backed out in
-current soon since it causes compiler warnings and better fixes are
possible in -current. The best fix is to do nothing here and wait for
gcc to do stack alignment right. gcc-3 aligns the stack in main(), but
does it too late for main()'s local variables and too late for anything
called before main(). A misaligned stack is now more than an efficiency
problem, since some SSE instructions in some or all (hardware)
implementations trap on misaligned operands even if alignment checking
is not enabled.

The main reason for this is to reduce diffs between all the crt1.c's.

Assembler macros are tidied up and made as similar as sanely possible.
The macros are translated into C (__inline static) functions for lint.

Declaration orders are made the same.
Declarations are all ISOfied and tidied up.

Comment contents have gratuitous diffs removed.

The net result is a bunch of crt1.c's that are 90% the same.
It may be possible to now encapsulate the differences in one
MD header, and have only one MI crt1.c file (although the macros
to do this may be ugly).

Removed "-fkeep-inline-functions" from CFLAGS, since it now has no effect
except to generate spurious warnings about a system header <sys/param.h>
having some inline functions (the bswap family). This backs out the main
part of rev.1.5 (which was the only part left). The problem fixed by
rev.1.5 of the Makefile went away in rev.1.5 of ../common/crtbegin.c
when the references to do_ctors() and do_dtors() in the latter were moved
from inline asm to C code.

This leaves the problem that implementation details cause warnings.

Do not use __progname directly (except in [gs]etprogname(3)).
Also, make an internal _getprogname() that is used only inside
libc. For libc, getprogname(3) is a weak symbol in case a
function of the same name is defined in userland.

minor style updating

* Bring back the guts of crt{i,n}.S. This allows C++ exceptions to work
when using the egcs and gcc-devel ports, along with GCC built from stock
public FSF sources. With out this change, FreeBSD will be removed from
the list of systems GCC 3.0 must be evaluated on before release. With
the effort some of us put into getting FreeBSD on this list, we should
not turn this effort into a waste, else we might not be worth fighting
for in the future. (note that Alpha and IA-64 versions of crt{i,n}.S
are needed)

* Switch from our own crt{begin,in} to those created from GCC's crtstuff.c.
This will allow us to switch to DWARF2 exceptions in the future, along with
staying in sync with any future GCC requirements.

* Break out our ELF branding bits into a seperate file. Currently this
is now included by our crt1.c files (since this functionality was part of
our native crtbegin.c). Later crtbrand.o will be merged in the creation
of crti.o.

Take crtbegin.c and crtend.c from the new machine-independent
"common" sister directory.


60698 19-May-2000 jdp

This is step 1 in an effort to unify the start-up files for the
various architectures. Now all the work is done in crtbegin.c.
It doesn't contain any assembly language code, so it should work
fine on all architectures. (I have tested it on the i386 and the
alpha.) The old assembly language files crt[in].S are now empty
shells that generate no code or data. They should not be removed
any time soon, because the various versions of gcc in src and ports
expect them to exist.

Next I will move crtbegin.c into a new common machine-independent
directory, and adjust the i386-elf Makefile to use that version.
After that I will adjust the alpha Makefile to use the common
version too.

Change our ELF binary branding to something more acceptable to the Binutils
maintainers.

After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.

With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.

Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

*
* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries
* using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old
* with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
* and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration
* time for this is about 6mo.

Add "-fkeep-inline-functions" to CFLAGS so that higher optimization
levels (-O3 and above) won't remove essential code. Many thanks
to Dmitrij Tejblum <dima@tejblum.dnttm.rssi.ru> for pointing out
that it was the optimizer's removal of this code that caused make
world with -O3 to break. With this change, make buildworld now
completes.

Move the code for the ".init" and ".fini" sections outside of a
C function so the compiler won't try to emit line numbers for it
with "-g", breaking the build. This has the nice side-effect of
making crtbegin.o and crtbeginS.o a little bit smaller.

Remove "-Wno-unused" from the Makefile. Replace it with "__unused"
on particular function and variable declarations.

Switch to using ".So" as the extension for PIC object files rather

naming conventions for dynamically loadable modules.

The "clean" targets continue to remove ".so" files too, to deal with
old systems.

Make profiling work for ELF. gprof now autodetects the format of
the executable file, so it will work for both a.out and ELF format
files. I have split the object format specific code into separate
source files. It's cleaner than it was before, but it's still
pretty crufty.

Don't cheat on your make world for this update. A lot of things
have to be rebuilt for it to work, including the compiler and all
of the profiled libraries.
