Rich Felker 25cef5c591 reintroduce calloc elison of memset for direct-mmapped allocations
a new weak predicate function replacable by the malloc implementation,
__malloc_allzerop, is introduced. by default it's always false; the
default version will be used when static linking if the bump allocator
was used (in which case performance doesn't matter) or if malloc was
replaced by the application. only if the real internal malloc is
linked (always the case with dynamic linking) does the real version
get used.

if malloc was replaced dynamically, as indicated by __malloc_replaced,
the predicate function is ignored and conditional-memset is always
performed.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
