  6. * This file is designed to be used as a libc alternative for minimal programs
  7. * with very limited requirements. It consists of a small number of syscall and
  8. * type definitions, and the minimal startup code needed to call main().
  9. * All syscalls are declared as static functions so that they can be optimized
  10. * away by the compiler when not used.
  11. *
  12. * Syscalls are split into 3 levels:
  13. * - The lower level is the arch-specific syscall() definition, consisting in
  14. * assembly code in compound expressions. These are called my_syscall0() to
  15. * my_syscall6() depending on the number of arguments. All input arguments
  16. * are castto a long stored in a register. These expressions always return
  17. * the syscall's return value as a signed long value which is often either
  18. * a pointer or the negated errno value.
  19. *
  20. * - The second level is mostly architecture-independent. It is made of
  21. * static functions called sys_<name>() which rely on my_syscallN()
  22. * depending on the syscall definition. These functions are responsible
  23. * for exposing the appropriate types for the syscall arguments (int,
  24. * pointers, etc) and for setting the appropriate return type (often int).
  25. * A few of them are architecture-specific because the syscalls are not all
  26. * mapped exactly the same among architectures. For example, some archs do
  27. * not implement select() and need pselect6() instead, so the sys_select()
  28. * function will have to abstract this.
  29. *
  30. * - The third level is the libc call definition. It exposes the lower raw
  31. * sys_<name>() calls in a way that looks like what a libc usually does,
  32. * takes care of specific input values, and of setting errno upon error.
  33. * There can be minor variations compared to standard libc calls.
  34. *
  35. * The errno variable is declared static and unused. This way it can be
  36. * optimized away if not used. However this means that a program made of
  37. * multiple C files may observe different errno values (one per C file). For
  38. * the type of programs this project targets it usually is not a problem. The
  39. * resulting program may even be reduced by defining the NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO
  40. * macro, in which case the errno value will never be assigned.
  41. *
  42. * Some stdint-like integer types are defined. These are valid on all currently
  43. * supported architectures, because signs are enforced, ints are assumed to be
  44. * 32 bits, longs the size of a pointer and long long 64 bits. If more
  45. * architectures have to be supported, this may need to be adapted.
  46. *
  47. * Some macro definitions like the O_* values passed to open(), and some
  48. * structures like the sys_stat struct depend on the architecture.
  49. *
  50. * The definitions start with the architecture-specific parts, which are picked
  51. * based on what the compiler knows about the target architecture, and are
  52. * completed with the generic code. Since it is the compiler which sets the
  53. * target architecture, cross-compiling normally works out of the box without
  54. * having to specify anything.
  55. *
  56. * Finally some very common libc-level functions are provided. It is the case
  57. * for a few functions usually found in string.h, ctype.h, or stdlib.h.
  58. *
  59. * The nolibc.h file is only a convenient entry point which includes all other
  60. * files. It also defines the NOLIBC macro, so that it is possible for a
  61. * program to check this macro to know if it is being built against and decide
  62. * to disable some features or simply not to include some standard libc files.
  63. *
  64. * A simple static executable may be built this way :
  65. * $ gcc -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-ident -s -Os -nostdlib \
  66. * -static -include nolibc.h -o hello hello.c -lgcc
  67. *
  68. * Simple programs meant to be reasonably portable to various libc and using
  69. * only a few common includes, may also be built by simply making the include
  70. * path point to the nolibc directory:
  71. * $ gcc -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-ident -s -Os -nostdlib \
  72. * -I../nolibc -o hello hello.c -lgcc
  73. *
  74. * The available standard (but limited) include files are:
  75. * ctype.h, errno.h, signal.h, stdarg.h, stdbool.h stdio.h, stdlib.h,
  76. * string.h, time.h
  77. *
  78. * In addition, the following ones are expected to be provided by the compiler:
  79. * float.h, stddef.h
  80. *
  81. * The following ones which are part to the C standard are not provided:
  82. * assert.h, locale.h, math.h, setjmp.h, limits.h
  83. *
  84. * A very useful calling convention table may be found here :
  85. * http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/syscall.2.html
  86. *
  87. * This doc is quite convenient though not necessarily up to date :
