Linux passes the arguments in registers, but our compiler expects
arguments on the stack. Signal handlers got garbage instead of the
signal number. Some handlers, like the one in lang/m2/libm2/sigtrp.c,
need the correct signal number.
I write a "bridge" in PowerPC assembly that moves the arguments to the
stack. I put the bridge in sigaction(), so I provide a signal() that
calls sigaction(). I remove the *.c glob or wildcard from build.lua,
so linuxppc only compiles its own signal.c, not the other signal.c for
linux386 and linux68k.
My bridge uses sigprocmask(), so I also add sigprocmask(). Because
linux386 and linux68k use globs, they also get sigprocmask(). I sync
the header files so all three Linux platforms declare execve(),
sigprocmask(), and unlink(), but not remove(), because we have
remove() in <stdio.h>.
I am using sigaction.s to test some features that we recently added to
our PowerPC assembler. These are the "hi16[...]" and "lo16[...]"
syntax, and also the extended names like "beq", "cmpwi", "li", "subi".
This needed lots of refactoring to ego --- not all platforms have ego descr
files, and ego will just crash if you invoke it without one. I think originally
it was never intended that these platforms would be used at -O2 or above.
Plats now only specify the ego descr file if they have one.
directories --- wrangling descr files was too hard. C programs can be built
for cpm, pc86, linux386, linux68k!
