the main motivation for this change is that, with the previous
definition, it was arguably illegal, in standard C, to initialize both
si_value and si_pid/si_uid with designated initializers, due to the
rule that only one member of a union can have an initializer. whether
or not this affected real-world application code, it affected some
internal code, and clang was producing warnings (and possibly
generating incorrect code).
the new definition uses a more complex hierarchy of structs and unions
to avoid the need to initialize more than one member of a single union
in usage cases that make sense. further work would be needed to
eliminate even the ones with no practical applications.
at the same time, some fixes are made to the exposed names for
nonstandard fields, to match what software using them expects.

in the previous changes, I missed the fact that both the prototype of
the sigaltstack function and the definition of ucontext_t depend on
stack_t.

it's different at least on mips. mips version will be fixed in a
separate commit to show the change.
|
|
this change is consistent with the corresponding glibc functions and
is semantically const-correct. the incorrect argument types without
const seem to have been taken from erroneous man pages.

fcntl.h: AT_* is not a reserved namespace so extensions cannot be
exposed by default.
langinfo.h: YESSTR and NOSTR were removed from the standard.
limits.h: NL_NMAX was removed from the standard.
signal.h: the conditional for NSIG was wrongly checking _XOPEN_SOURCE
rather than _BSD_SOURCE. this was purely a mistake; it doesn't even
match the commit message from the commit that added it.

apparently the original kernel commit's i386 version of siginfo.h
defined this field as unsigned int, but the asm-generic file always
had void *. unsigned int is obviously not a suitable type for an
address, in a non-arch-specific file, and glibc also has void * here,
so I think void * is the right type for it.
also fix redundant type specifiers.

linux commit a0727e8ce513fe6890416da960181ceb10fbfae6 (2012-04-12)
added siginfo fields for SIGSYS (seccomp uses it)
linux commit ad5fa913991e9e0f122b021e882b0d50051fbdbc (2009-09-16)
added siginfo field and si_code values for SIGBUS (hwpoison signal)

the arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.sh has been replaced with a generic
alltypes.h.in and minimal arch-specific bits/alltypes.h.in.
this commit is intended to have no functional changes except:
- exposing additional symbols that POSIX allows but does not require
- changing the C++ name mangling for some types
- fixing the signedness of blksize_t on powerpc (POSIX requires signed)
- fixing the limit macros for sig_atomic_t on x86_64
- making dev_t an unsigned type (ABI matching goal, and more logical)
in addition, some types that were wrongly defined with long on 32-bit
archs were changed to int, and vice versa; this change is
non-functional except for the possibility of making pointer types
mismatch, and only affects programs that were using them incorrectly,
and only at build-time, not runtime.
the following changes were made in the interest of moving
non-arch-specific types out of the alltypes system and into the
headers they're associated with, and also will tend to improve
application compatibility:
- netdb.h now includes netinet/in.h (for socklen_t and uint32_t)
- netinet/in.h now includes sys/socket.h and inttypes.h
- sys/resource.h now includes sys/time.h (for struct timeval)
- sys/wait.h now includes signal.h (for siginfo_t)
- langinfo.h now includes nl_types.h (for nl_item)
for the types in stdint.h:
- types which are of no interest to other headers were moved out of
the alltypes system.
- fast types for 8- and 64-bit are hard-coded (at least for now); only
the 16- and 32-bit ones have reason to vary by arch.
and the following types have been changed for C++ ABI purposes;
- mbstate_t now has a struct tag, __mbstate_t
- FILE's struct tag has been changed to _IO_FILE
- DIR's struct tag has been changed to __dirstream
- locale_t's struct tag has been changed to __locale_struct
- pthread_t is defined as unsigned long in C++ mode only
- fpos_t now has a struct tag, _G_fpos64_t
- fsid_t's struct tag has been changed to __fsid_t
- idtype_t has been made an enum type (also required by POSIX)
- nl_catd has been changed from long to void *
- siginfo_t's struct tag has been removed
- sigset_t's has been given a struct tag, __sigset_t
- stack_t has been given a struct tag, sigaltstack
- suseconds_t has been changed to long on 32-bit archs
- [u]intptr_t have been changed from long to int rank on 32-bit archs
- dev_t has been made unsigned
summary of tests that have been performed against these changes:
- nsz's libc-test (diff -u before and after)
- C++ ABI check symbol dump (diff -u before, after, glibc)
- grepped for __NEED, made sure types needed are still in alltypes
- built gcc 3.4.6

previously, a few BSD features were enabled only by _BSD_SOURCE, not
by _GNU_SOURCE. since _BSD_SOURCE is default in the absence of other
feature test macros, this made adding _GNU_SOURCE to a project not a
purely additive feature test macro; it actually caused some features
to be suppressed.
most of the changes made by this patch actually bring musl in closer
alignment with the glibc behavior for _GNU_SOURCE. the only exceptions
are the added visibility of functions like strlcpy which were BSD-only
due to being disliked/rejected by glibc maintainers. here, I feel the
consistency of having _GNU_SOURCE mean "everything", and especially
the property of it being purely additive, are more valuable than
hiding functions which glibc does not have.

this fixes a regression related to the changes made to bits/signal.h
between 0.9.7 and 0.9.8 that broke some (non-portable) software.

unlike the previous definition, NSIG/_NSIG is supposed to be one more
than the highest signal number. adding this will allow simplifying
libc-internal code that makes signal-related syscalls, which can be
done as a later step. some apps might use it too; while this usage is
questionable, it's at least not insane.
|
|
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.
|
|
this fix is easier than trying to reorder the header stuff
|
|
signal handling was very broken because of this
|
|
its only purpose was for use on non-BSD systems that implement sysv
semantics for signal() by default.
|
|
patch by Isaac Dunham. matched closely (maybe not exact) to glibc's
idea of what _BSD_SOURCE should make visible.
|
|
this is legal since sa_* is in the reserved namespace for signal.h,
per posix. note that the sa_restorer field is not used anywhere, so
programs that are trying to use it may still break, but at least
they'll compile. if it turns out such programs actually need to be
able to set their own sa_restorer to function properly, i'll add the
necessary code to sigaction.c later.

this bug was introduced in a recent patch. the problem we're working
around is that broken GNU software wants to use "struct siginfo"
rather than "siginfo_t", but "siginfo" is not in the reserved
namespace and thus not legal for the standard header to use.

this implementation is superior to the glibc/nptl implementation, in
that it gives true realtime behavior. there is no risk of timer
expiration events being lost due to failed thread creation or failed
malloc, because the thread is created as time creation time, and
reused until the timer is deleted.
