musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
both __clone and __syscall_cp_asm failed to restore the original value of r6 after using it as a syscall argument register. the extent of breakage is not known, and in some cases may be mitigated by the only callers being internal to libc; if they used r6 but no longer needed its value after the call, they may not have noticed the problem. however at least posix_spawn (which uses __clone) was observed returning to the application with the wrong value in r6, leading to crash. since the call frame ABI already provides a place to spill registers, fixing this is just a matter of using it. in __clone, we also spuriously restore r6 in the child, since the parent branch directly returns to the caller. this takes the value from an uninitialized slot of the child's stack, but is harmless since there is no caller to return to in the child. |

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: http://www.musl-libc.org/
