it will be in the next version of POSIX

now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
__syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.
changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
i386 and mips has already been performed.

the old behavior of exposing nothing except plain ISO C can be
obtained by defining __STRICT_ANSI__ or using a compiler option (such
as -std=c99) that predefines it. the new default featureset is POSIX
with XSI plus _BSD_SOURCE. any explicit feature test macros will
inhibit the default.
installation docs have also been updated to reflect this change.
|
|
to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.
|
|
while musl itself requires a c99 compiler, some applications insist on
being compiled with c89 compilers, and use of "inline" in the headers
was breaking them. much of this had been avoided already by just
skipping the inline keyword in pre-c99 compilers or modes, but this
new unified solution is cleaner and may/should result in better code
generation in the default gcc configuration.

not sure why these were originally omitted..
|
|
why does mips have to be gratuitously incompatible in every possible
imaginable way?

based on patches by orc and Isaac Dunham, with some fixes. sys/io.h
exists and contains prototypes for these functions regardless of
whether the target arch has them; this is a bit unorthodox but I don't
think it will break anything. the function definitions do not exist
unless the appropriate SYS_* syscall number macro is defined, which
should make sure configure scripts looking for these functions don't
find them on other systems.
presently, sys/io.h does not have the inb/outb/etc. port io
macros/functions. I'd be surprised if ioperm/iopl are useful without
them, so they probably need to be added at some point in appropriate
bits/io.h files...

the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead
of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a
length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be
more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only
used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes
over unix sockets.

one file was reusing another file's macro name, and many had
inconsistent underscores and application of SYS prefix, etc.

this broke the busybox "free" utility (memory reporting) and possibly
other things like uptime.
|
|
this is ugly and stupid, but now that the *64 symbol names exist, a
lot of broken GNU software detects them in configure, then either
breaks during build due to missing off64_t definition, or attempts to
compile without function declarations/prototypes. "fixing" it here is
easier than telling everyone to add yet another feature test macro to
their builds.
|
|
there is no reason to avoid multiple identical macro definitions; this
is perfectly legal C, and even with the maximal warning options
enabled, gcc does not issue any warning for it.
|
|
patch by Isaac Dunham. matched closely (maybe not exact) to glibc's
idea of what _BSD_SOURCE should make visible.

this is all junk, but some programs use it.
|
|
|
|
- add the rest of the junk traditionally in sys/param.h
- add prototypes for some nonstandard functions
- add _GNU_SOURCE to their source files so the compiler can check proto

this type should never be used anyway, but some old junk uses it..

this is a nonstandard junk header anyway, so just do what apps expect..
|
|
based on patch by sh4rm4. these functions are deprecated; futimens and
utimensat should be used instead in new programs.

patches by sh4rm4, presumably needed to make gdb or some similar junk
happy...

the changes to syscall_ret are mostly no-ops in the generated code,
just cleanup of type issues and removal of some implementation-defined
behavior. the one exception is the change in the comparison value,
which is fixed so that 0xf...f000 (which in principle could be a valid
return value for mmap, although probably never in reality) is not
treated as an error return.
|

casting to int would not be correct because high bits could be lost.
mapping the high bits down onto low bits would be costlier in the
common case where the result is just used in a conditional. changing
the type of the bit array elements to int would permute the order of
the bit array on 64-bit big endian systems, so that's not an option
either.

this is a case of poorly written man pages not matching the actual
implementation, and why i hate implementing nonstandard interfaces
with no actual documentation of how they're intended to work.
|
|
at the same time, make struct statfs match the traditional definition
and make it more useful, especially the fsid_t stuff.
