WHY: errno in uClibc is not thread safe HOW: __errno_location and it's sibling __h_errno_location need to be called via PLT - even from within libc. That way when linked with pthread, intra-uClibc callers will also use the thread safe version. This is achieved by removing the GI alias for these functions, ensuring that they get called normally (via PLT) Verified with ARC LT.old and ARM cubieboard2 buildroot (LT.old) NPTL is unaffected by this bug. ------------ History behind this patch --------------------- This is a long standing bug (https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=2089) Others have tried to fix it in past (alteast Peter Korsgaard's patch in 2010), but somehow failed to be merged (or were backed out afterwards). http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc/2010-July/044176.html One of the causes could be side effect of atleast one more bug related to pthreads and static link which has now been fixed. http://lists.uclibc.org/pipermail/uclibc/2013-October/047958.html I have solved this w/o looking at other pacthes but would like to give credit to Peter and others for confirming that it makes sense.
