2026-04-09tools/nolibc: create __nolibc_no_sanitize_ubsanThomas Weißschuh1-4/+1
The logic to disable UBSAN will become a bit more complicated. Move it out into compiler.h, so crt.h stays readable. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260408-nolibc-gcc-15-v1-1-330d0c40f894@weissschuh.net
2026-03-22tools/nolibc: add support for program_invocation_{,short_}nameThomas Weißschuh1-0/+26
Add support for the GNU extensions 'program_invocation_name' and 'program_invocation_short_name'. These are useful to print error messages, which by convention include the program name. As these are global variables which take up memory even if not used, similar to 'errno', gate them behind NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO.

2025-10-29tools/nolibc: add option to disable runtimeBenjamin Berg1-0/+3
In principle, it is possible to use nolibc for only some object files in a program. In that case, the startup code in _start and _start_c is not going to be used. Add the NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME compile time option to disable it entirely and also remove anything that depends on it. Doing this avoids warnings from modpost for UML as the _start_c code references the main function from the .init.text section while it is not inside .init itself.

2025-04-19tools/nolibc: disable function sanitizer for _start_c()Thomas Weißschuh1-0/+5
Both constructors and main() may be executed with different function signatures than they are actually using. This is intentional but trips up UBSAN. Disable the function sanitizer of UBSAN in _start_c().

2025-02-03tools/nolibc: add prototypes for non-static functionsThomas Weißschuh1-0/+2
With -Wmissing-prototypes the compiler will warn about non-static functions which don't have a prototype defined. This warning doesn't make much sense for nolibc itself but for user code it is still useful. To pacify the compiler add prototypes next to the function definitions, similar to how it is handled elsewhere in the kernel.

2024-08-16tools/nolibc: crt: mark _start_c() as usedThomas Weißschuh1-1/+1
During LTO the reference from the asm startup code to the _start_c() function is not visible and _start_c() is removed. This will then lead to errors during linking. As _start_c() is indeed always used, mark it as such.

2024-08-09tools/nolibc: pass argc, argv and envp to constructorsThomas Weißschuh1-11/+12
Since 2005 glibc has passed argc, argv, and envp to all constructors. As it is cheap and easy to do so, mirror that behaviour in nolibc. This makes it easier to migrate applications to nolibc.

2023-10-12tools/nolibc: mark start_c as weakThomas Weißschuh1-0/+1
Otherwise the different instances of _start_c from each compilation unit will lead to linker errors: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccSNvRqs.o: in function `_start_c': nolibc-test-foo.c:(.text.nolibc_memset+0x9): multiple definition of `_start_c'; /tmp/ccG25101.o:nolibc-test.c:(.text+0x1ea3): first defined here Fixes: 17336755150b ("tools/nolibc: add new crt.h with _start_c") Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231012-nolibc-start_c-multiple-v1-1-fbfc73e0283f@weissschuh.net/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231012-nolibc-linkage-test-v1-1-315e682768b4@weissschuh.net/ Acked-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
2023-08-23tools/nolibc: stackprotector.h: make __stack_chk_init staticZhangjin Wu1-1/+1
This allows to generate smaller text/data/dec size. As the _start_c() function added by crt.h, __stack_chk_init() is called from _start_c() instead of the assembly _start. So, it is able to mark it with static now. Reviewed-by: Thomas Weißschuh <linux@weissschuh.net> Signed-off-by: Zhangjin Wu <falcon@tinylab.org> Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>
2023-08-23tools/nolibc: crt.h: initialize stack protectorZhangjin Wu1-0/+4
As suggested by Thomas, It is able to move the stackprotector initialization from the assembly _start to the beginning of the new _start_c(). Let's call __stack_chk_init() in _start_c() as a preparation.

2023-08-23tools/nolibc: add new crt.h with _start_cZhangjin Wu1-0/+57
As the environ and _auxv support added for nolibc, the assembly _start function becomes more and more complex and therefore makes the porting of nolibc to new architectures harder and harder. To simplify portability, this C version of _start_c() is added to do most of the assembly start operations in C, which reduces the complexity a lot and will eventually simplify the porting of nolibc to the new architectures. The new _start_c() only requires a stack pointer argument, it will find argc, argv, envp/environ and _auxv for us, and then call main(), finally, it exit() with main's return status. With this new _start_c(), the future new architectures only require to add very few assembly instructions. As suggested by Thomas, users may use a different signature of main (e.g. void main(void)), a _nolibc_main alias is added for main to silence the warning about potential conflicting types. As suggested by Willy, the code is carefully polished for both smaller size and better readability with local variables and the right types.
