inotify_add_watch flag to prevent modifying existing watch descriptors,
when used on an already watched inode it fails with EEXIST.

the motivation for this change is twofold. first, it gets the fallback
logic out of the dynamic linker, improving code readability and
organization. second, it provides application code that wants to use
the membarrier syscall, which depends on preregistration of intent
before the process becomes multithreaded unless unbounded latency is
acceptable, with a symbol that, when linked, ensures that this
registration happens.

new in linux commit 76b7f670730e87974f71df9f6129811e2769666e
in struct signalfd_siginfo the pad member is changed to __pad to keep
the namespace clean, it's not part of the public api.

new address family and related macros were added in linux commit
68e8b849b221b37a78a110a0307717d45e3593a0
|
|
maintainer's note: while musl does not use the linux kernel headers,
it does provide these three sys/* headers which do nothing but include
the corresponding linux/* headers, since the sys/* versions are the
ones documented for application use (and they arguably provide
interfaces that are not linux-specific but common to other unices).
these headers should probably not be provided by libc (rather by a
separate package), but as long as they are, use the bits header
framework as an aid to out-of-tree ports of musl for non-linux systems
that want to implement them in some other way.
|
|
maintainer's note: at some point, probably long before linux separated
the uapi headers, it was the case, or at least I believed it was the
case, that linux/types.h was unsafe to include from userspace. thus,
the inclusion guard macro _LINUX_TYPES_H was defined in sys/kd.h to
prevent linux/kd.h from including linux/types.h (which it spuriously
includes but does not use). as far as I can tell, whatever problem
this was meant to solve does not seem to have been present for a long
time, and the hack was not done correctly anyway, so removing it is
the right thing to do.

sys/ptrace.h is target specific, use bits/ptrace.h to add target
specific macro definitions.
these macros are kept in the generic sys/ptrace.h even though some
targets don't support them:
PTRACE_GETREGS
PTRACE_SETREGS
PTRACE_GETFPREGS
PTRACE_SETFPREGS
PTRACE_GETFPXREGS
PTRACE_SETFPXREGS
so no macro definition got removed in this patch on any target. only
s390x has a numerically conflicting macro definition (PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK).
the PT_ aliases follow glibc headers, otherwise the definitions come
from linux uapi headers except ones that are skipped in glibc and
there is no real kernel support (s390x PTRACE_*_AREA) or need special
type definitions (mips PTRACE_*_WATCH_*) or only relevant for linux
2.4 compatibility (PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS).

new in linux v3.1 commit 3544d72a0e10d0aa1c1bd59ed77a53a59cdc12f7
changed in linux v3.4 commit 5cdf389aee90109e2e3d88085dea4dd5508a3be7
A tracer recieves this event in the waitpid status of a PTRACED_SEIZED
process.

adapted from patch by Matthias Schiffer.
|
|
memfd_create was added in linux v3.17 and glibc has api for it.
|
|
mlock2 syscall was added in linux v4.4 and glibc has api for it.
It falls back to mlock in case of flags==0, so that case works
even on older kernels.
MLOCK_ONFAULT is moved under _GNU_SOURCE following glibc.

to get seccomp state for checkpoint restore.
added in linux commit 26500475ac1b499d8636ff281311d633909f5d20
struct tag follows the glibc api and ptrace_peeksiginfo_args
got changed too accordingly.
|
|
added to uapi in commit 65aaf87b3aa2d049c6b9fd85221858a895df3393
used since commit a9a08845e9acbd224e4ee466f5c1275ed50054e8,
which renamed POLL* to EPOLL* in the kernel.
|
|
This syscall is available since Linux 3.17 and was also implemented in
glibc in version 2.25 using the same interfaces.

PR_SVE_SET_VL and PR_SVE_GET_VL controls are new in linux commit

for synchronous page faults, new in linux commit
1c9725974074a047f6080eecc62c50a8e840d050 and
b6fb293f2497a9841d94f6b57bd2bb2cd222da43
note that only targets that use asm-generic/mman.h have this new
flag defined, so undef it on other targets (mips*, powerpc*).

*_HUGE_SHIFT, *_HUGE_2MB, *_HUGE_1GB are documented in the man page,
so add all of the *_HUGE_* macros from linux uapi.
if MAP_HUGETLB is set, top bits of the mmap flags encode the page size.
see the linux commit aafd4562dfee81a40ba21b5ea3cf5e06664bc7f6
if SHM_HUGETLB is set, top bits of the shmget flags encode the page size.
see the linux commit 4da243ac1cf6aeb30b7c555d56208982d66d6d33
*_HUGE_16GB is defined unsigned to avoid signed left shift ub.

new in linux commit ac7138746e14137a451f8539614cdd349153e0c0
(linux socket.h is not in uapi so this update was missed earlier)

With Linux kernel 4.16 it will be possible to guard more parts of the
Linux header files from a libc. Make use of this in musl to guard all
the structures and other definitions from the Linux header files which
are also defined by the header files provided by musl. This will make
it possible to compile source files which include both the libc
headers and the kernel userspace headers.
This extends the definitions done in commit 04983f227238 ("make
netinet/in.h suppress clashing definitions from kernel headers")

linux commit 575b1967e10a1f3038266244d2c7a3ca6b99fed8 moved timerfd

this header is XSI-shaded itself and thus does not need to limit
specific content to _XOPEN_SOURCE.

reported and changes suggested by Daniel Sabogal.
|

inclusion of these names was unintentional and in most cases is a
namespace violation. Daniel Sabogal tracked down and reported these.

aarch64, arm, mips, mips64, mipsn32, powerpc, powerpc64 and sh have
cpu feature bits defined in linux for AT_HWCAP auxv entry, so expose
those in sys/auxv.h
it seems the mips hwcaps were never exposed to userspace neither
by linux nor by glibc, but that's most likely an oversight.

macros for qualcom ip router protocol, new in linux commit
bdabad3e363d825ddf9679dd431cca0b2c30f881
|

commit befa5866ee30d09c0c96e88af2eabff5911342ea performed this change
for struct definitions that did not also involve typedef, but omitted
the latter.
|
|
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.

the kernel ABI value for RUSAGE_CHILDREN is -1, not 1. the latter is
actually interpreted as RUSAGE_THREAD, to obtain values for just the
calling thread and not the whole process.
|
|
compilers are free not to copy, or in some cases to clobber, padding
bytes in a structure. while it's an aliasing violation, and thus
undefined behavior, to copy or manipulate other sockaddr types using
sockaddr_storage, it seems likely that traditional code attempts to do
so, and the original intent of the sockaddr_storage structure was
probably to allow such usage.
in the interest of avoiding silent and potentially dangerous breakage,
ensure that there are no actual padding bytes in sockaddr_storage by
moving and adjusting the size of the __ss_padding member so that it
fits exactly.
this change also removes a silent assumption that the alignment of
long is equal to its size.

kernel connection multiplexor macros AF_KCM, PF_KCM, SOL_KCM were
added in linux commit ab7ac4eb9832e32a09f4e8042705484d2fb0aad3
MSG_BATCH sendmsg flag for performance optimization was added
in linux commit f092276d85b82504e8a07498f4e9e0c51f06745c
SOL_* macros are now synced with linux socket.h which is not a uapi
header and glibc did not have the macros either, but that has changed
