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". |

# $Source: /cvsroot/tack/Ack/plat/linux386/README,v $ # $State: Exp $ # $Revision: 1.2 $ The linux386 platform ===================== linux386 is an i386-based BSP that produces Linux ELF executables. This port only implements a very limited number of system calls; basically, just enough to make the demo apps run. Adding more is easy, but there are some subtleties that require more thought. The port should be considered only in proof-of-concept stage right now. Important note: you *can't* link access ELF shared libraries from these executables. In other words, you have to all your work from inside ACK. IEEE floating point is available, but requires an FPU. The executables are generated with aelfslod and are extremely simple; there's one rwx ELF section which contains all the application's code and data. This is not optimal, but it does work. Bugs ==== isatty() is a stub and always returns 0. Example command line ==================== ack -mlinux386 -O -o linux386.exe examples/paranoia.c The file linux386.exe can then be run on a i386 Linux machine (or on an emulation thereof).
