currently five targets use the same mman.h constants and the rest
share most constants too, so move them to sys/mman.h before the
bits/mman.h include where the differences can be corrected by
redefinition of the macros.
this fixes two minor bugs: POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED was wrong on most
targets (it should be the same as MADV_DONTNEED), and sh defined
the x86-only MAP_32BIT mmap flag.
|
|
This is a GNU extension, but a fairly minor one, for a system call that
otherwise has no libc wrapper.
|
|
some software simply uses static_assert if the macro is defined, and
this breaks if the compiler does not recognize the _Static_assert
keyword used to define it.

commit 378f8cb5222b63e4f8532c757ce54e4074567e1f added these functions
(as stubs) but left them without declarations. this broke some
autoconf based software that detected linkability of the symbols but
didn't check for a declaration.

si_errno and si_code are swapped in mips siginfo_t compared to other
archs and some si_code values are different. This fix is required
for POSIX timers to work.
based on patch by Dmitry Ivanov.
|
|
only have code above the bits/signal.h include that is necessary.
(some types are used for the ucontext struct and mips has to
override a few macro definitions)
this way mips bits/signal.h will be able to affect siginfo_t.

TCP_CC_INFO is a new socket option to get congestion control info without
netlink (union tcp_cc_info is in linux/inet_diag.h kernel header).
linux commit 6e9250f59ef9efb932c84850cd221f22c2a03c4a
TCP_SAVE_SYN, TCP_SAVED_SYN socket options are for saving and getting the
SYN headers of passive connections in a server application.

new in linux 4.0 commit 0189197f441602acdca3f97750d392a895b778fd.

This was new in linux 3.5 in commit cf60af03ca4e71134206809ea892e49b92a88896,
needed for tcp fastopen feature (sending data in TCP SYN packet).
|
|
Programs such as iptables depend on these constants, which can also
be found defined in other libcs.
Since only TCP_* is reserved as part of tcp.h's namespace, we hide
them behind _BSD_SOURCE (and therefore _DEFAULT_SOURCE) to expose
them by default, but keep it standard conforming.
|
|
this conditional path was never tested because there are no compilers
that conform to annex g (none with _Imaginary_I).

this attribute was applied to pthread_self and the functions providing
the locations for errno and h_errno as an optimization; however, it is
subtly incorrect. as specified, it means the return value will always
be the same, which is not true; it varies per-thread.
this attribute also implies that the function does not depend on any
state, and that calls to it can safely be reordered across any other
code. however such reordering is unsafe for these functions: they
break when reordered before initialization of the thread pointer. such
breakage was actually observed when compiled by libfirm/cparser.
to some extent the reordering problem could be solved with strong
compiler barriers between the stages of early startup code, but the
specified meaning of of attribute((const)) is sufficiently strong that
a compiler would theoretically be justified inserting gratuitous calls
to attribute((const)) const functions at random locations (e.g. to
save the value in static storage for later use).
this reverts commit cbf35978a9870fb1f5c73a852c986d4fcca6c2d4.

their absence completely breaks format string warnings in programs
with gettext message translations: -Wformat gives no results, and
-Wformat-nonliteral produces spurious warnings.
with gcc, the problem manifests only in standards-conforming profiles;
otherwise gcc sets these attributes by default for the gettext family.
with clang, the problem always manifests; clang has no such defaults.

being nonstandard, the closest thing to a specification for this
function is its man page, which documents it as returning int. it can
fail with EBADF if the file descriptor passed is invalid.

this patch activates the new byte-based C locale (high bytes treated
as abstract code unit "characters" rather than decoded as multibyte
characters) by making the value of MB_CUR_MAX depend on the active
locale. for the C locale, the LC_CTYPE category pointer is null,
yielding a value of 1. all other locales yield a value of 4.

presumably internal code (ungetwc and fputwc) was written assuming a
macro implementation existed; otherwise use of isascii is just a
pessimization.

based on patch by Felix Janda, with RLIM64_SAVED_CUR and
RLIM64_SAVED_MAX added for completeness.

this is analogous to commit 2ca55a93f2a11185d72dcb69006fd2c30b5c3144
for the macros in ctype.h.
|
|
These macros were introduced in glibc 2.12 to follow RFC 2474 which
deprecates "IP Precedence" in favor of "Class Selector Codepoints".

the casts of the argument to unsigned int suppressed diagnosis of
errors like passing a pointer instead of a character. putting the
actual function call in an unreachable branch restores any diagnostics
that would be present if the macros didn't exist and functions were
used.
|
|
the C standard specifies that setjmp is a macro, but longjmp is a
normal function. a macro version of it would be permitted (albeit
useless) for C (not C++), but would have to be a function-like macro,
not an object-like one.
|
|
while it's the same for all presently supported archs, it differs at
least on sparc, and conceptually it's no less arch-specific than the
other O_* macros. O_SEARCH and O_EXEC are still defined in terms of
O_PATH in the main fcntl.h.

commit 559de8f5f06da9022cbba70e22e14a710eb74513 redefined FLT_ROUNDS
to use an external function that can report the actual current
rounding mode, rather than always reporting round-to-nearest. however,
float.h did not include 'extern "C"' wrapping for C++, so C++ programs
using FLT_ROUNDS ended up with an unresolved reference to a
name-mangled C++ function __flt_rounds.

the previous values (2k min and 8k default) were too small for some
archs. aarch64 reserves 4k in the signal context for future extensions
and requires about 4.5k total, and powerpc reportedly uses over 2k.
the new minimums are chosen to fit the saved context and also allow a
minimal signal handler to run.
since the default (SIGSTKSZ) has always been 6k larger than the
minimum, it is also increased to maintain the 6k usable by the signal
handler. this happens to be able to store one pathname buffer and
should be sufficient for calling any function in libc that doesn't
involve conversion between floating point and decimal representations.
x86 (both 32-bit and 64-bit variants) may also need a larger minimum
(around 2.5k) in the future to support avx-512, but the values on
these archs are left alone for now pending further analysis.
the value for PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is not increased to match MINSIGSTKSZ
at this time. this is so as not to preclude applications from using
extremely small thread stacks when they know they will not be handling
signals. unfortunately cancellation and multi-threaded set*id() use
signals as an implementation detail and therefore require a stack
large enough for a signal context, so applications which use extremely
small thread stacks may still need to avoid using these features.

Implemented as a wrapper around fegetround introducing a new function
to the ABI: __flt_rounds. (fegetround cannot be used directly from float.h)

new in linux v3.19 commit ee1b58d36aa1b5a79eaba11f5c3633c88231da83

normally time.h would provide a definition for this struct, but
depending on the feature test macros in use, it may not be exposed,
leading to warnings when it's used in the function prototypes.
|
|
|
|
these macros have the same distinct definition on blackfin, frv, m68k,
mips, sparc and xtensa kernels. POLLMSG and POLLRDHUP additionally
differ on sparc.

the memory model we use internally for atomics permits plain loads of
values which may be subject to concurrent modification without
requiring that a special load function be used. since a compiler is
free to make transformations that alter the number of loads or the way
in which loads are performed, the compiler is theoretically free to
break this usage. the most obvious concern is with atomic cas
constructs: something of the form tmp=*p;a_cas(p,tmp,f(tmp)); could be
transformed to a_cas(p,*p,f(*p)); where the latter is intended to show
multiple loads of *p whose resulting values might fail to be equal;
this would break the atomicity of the whole operation. but even more
fundamental breakage is possible.
with the changes being made now, objects that may be modified by
atomics are modeled as volatile, and the atomic operations performed
on them by other threads are modeled as asynchronous stores by
hardware which happens to be acting on the request of another thread.
such modeling of course does not itself address memory synchronization
between cores/cpus, but that aspect was already handled. this all
seems less than ideal, but it's the best we can do without mandating a
C11 compiler and using the C11 model for atomics.
in the case of pthread_once_t, the ABI type of the underlying object
is not volatile-qualified. so we are assuming that accessing the
object through a volatile-qualified lvalue via casts yields volatile
access semantics. the language of the C standard is somewhat unclear
on this matter, but this is an assumption the linux kernel also makes,
and seems to be the correct interpretation of the standard.

this is a new extension which is presently intended only for
experimental and internal libc use. interface and behavior details may
change subject to feedback and experience from using it internally.
the basic concept for the new PTHREAD_CANCEL_MASKED state is that the
first cancellation point to observe the cancellation request fails
with an errno value of ECANCELED rather than acting on cancellation,
allowing the caller to process the status and choose whether/how to
act upon it.

these socket options are new in linux v3.19, introduced in commit
2c8c56e15df3d4c2af3d656e44feb18789f75837 and commit
89aa075832b0da4402acebd698d0411dcc82d03e
with SO_INCOMING_CPU the cpu can be queried on which a socket is
managed inside the kernel and optimize polling of large number of
sockets accordingly.
SO_ATTACH_BPF lets eBPF programs (created by the bpf syscall) to
be attached to sockets.
