dl-cache.h and make use of it. Also disables the lib-path-redundancy check
for the case the cache is not used. Makes use of _PRELOAD_FILE_SUPPORT.
From Peter Mazinger.

After the addition of a configuration option for
enabling the support of /etc/ld.so.cache, I thought
it might be a good idea to add one for the support
of the /etc/ld.so.preload file too. So here it is.
While doing this, I also noticed that the dynamic
linker would hang indefinitely if either LD_PRELOAD
or /etc/ld.so.preload contained a library which was
already loaded, so I made a patch for that too.
And of course, I could not resist from doing a little
clean up of comments and indentation, so here is a
patch for that too.

Mazinger implements the changes suggested by me on the uclibc list.

Port the generic optimized string funcs from glibc, with some tweaks
to cut their size a little. The main change is making memmove
call memcpy for forward copying to trim redundant code.
Make use of both the generic and arch-specific speed-optimized string
funcs configurable. Arch-specific take precedence over generic,
and generic takes precedence over basic size-optimized uClibc funcs.

size and performance penalty to profiling applications this way, as well as
Heisenberg effects, where the act of measuring changes what is measured.
There are better tools for doing profiling, such as OProfile, that do not
require gcc to instrument the application code.

Hi Erik,
I'm not sure why the NIOS support is not in uClibc -- perhaps the patch
was rejected or never submitted? In any case, I'm playing with some NIOS
stuff and created this patch against 0.9.26. The work was done by
Microtronix. I'm not sure who else contributed to it. It would be great
to have the NIOS support available in uClibc so developers don't have to
go searching for these bits.

This patch adds code to uClibc to support a new ABI designed for the
FR-V architecture, that enables text segments of executables and
shared libraries to be shared by multiple processes on an OS such as
uClinux, that can run on FR-V processors without an MMU.
Patches for binutils and GCC have just been posted in the
corresponding mailing lists. The binutils patch was approved,
but there's one additional patch pending review, that I posted
this week. An updated GCC patch will be posted to
gcc-patches@gcc.gnu.org as soon as I complete testing (I used a
known-good compiler to test the uClibc patch below).
Since the existing dynamic loader code didn't support independent
relocation of segments, it required changes that were somewhat
extensive. I've added a number of new machine-specific macros to try
to keep the platform and ABI-specific details outside the generic
code. I hope this is not a problem.

Hello Erik!
I have made some cosmetical changes to the files, removed the added
SCRT=-fPIC option from building the crt0.S file (but it is a requirement
to build them with -fPIC), and changed some comments. I have left the
ldso.c patch with PIE_SUPPORT ifdefs, but consider applying it w/o them
(see some earlier comment from PaX Team on this issue, as it is considered
a bug). To have it work correctly, you'll also need removing
COMPLETELY_PIC.
One thing is missing: PIE_SUPPORT should be usable only for i386 (for
now).
Also added the support for propolice protection (that works for me and
catches memcpy/strcpy attacks (but needs a special gcc version).
Thanks, Peter

Lea. It is about 2x faster than the old malloc-930716, and behave itself much
better -- it will properly release memory back to the system, and it uses a
combination of brk() for small allocations and mmap() for larger allocations.

256 is fine of course, but many applications use this value
and expect it to be larger.

Remove the ADD_LIBGCC_FUNCTIONS option and do things the right way.
Either we have a shared libgcc available, or the libgcc routines
aren't PIC and don't belong in the shared libc anyway.

Add in a SUSv3 getopt as an option for those not needing gnu getopt.
Again, mainly for the static linking crowd.

SYSTEM_DEVEL_PREFIX says: "This defaults to $(DEVEL_PREFIX)/usr", but it
actually defaults to just "($DEVEL_PREFIX)".
Just thought I'd mention it... :)

Should be standards compliant and with several optional features,
including support for hexadecimal float notation, locale awareness,
glibc-like locale-specific digit grouping with the `'' flag, and
positional arg support. I tested it pretty well (finding several
bugs in glibc's scanf in the process), but it is brand new so be
aware.
The *wprintf functions now support floating point output. Also, a
couple of bugs were squashed. Finally, %a/%A conversions are
now implemented.
Implement the glibc xlocale interface for thread-specific locale
support. Also add the various *_l(args, locale_t loc_arg) funcs.
NOTE!!! setlocale() is NOT threadsafe! NOTE!!!
The strto{floating point} conversion functions are now locale aware.
The also now support hexadecimal floating point notation.
Add the wcsto{floating point} conversion functions.
Fix a bug in mktime() related to dst. Note that unlike glibc's mktime,
uClibc's version always normalizes the struct tm before attempting
to determine the correct dst setting if tm_isdst == -1 on entry.
Add a stub version of the libintl functions. (untested)
Fixed a known memory leak in setlocale() related to the collation data.
Add lots of new config options (which Erik agreed to sort out :-),
including finally exposing some of the stripped down stdio configs.
Be careful with those though, as they haven't been tested in a
long time.
(temporary) GOTCHAs...
The ctype functions are currently incorrect for 8-bit locales. They
will be fixed shortly.
The ctype functions are now table-based, resulting in larger staticly
linked binaries. I'll be adding an option to use the old approach
in the stub locale configuration.

- Invert all FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS checks.
- Define FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS in the Makefile,
so it can be configured by the config system.
- linuxelf.h inspects that we don't combine FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS
and SVR4_BUGCOMPAT
- Add a new config option for FORCE_SHAREABLE_TEXT_SEGMENTS
