2019-07-30move IPC_64 from public bits/ipc.h to syscall_arch.hRich Felker-2/+0
the definition of the IPC_64 macro controls the interface between libc and the kernel through syscalls; it's not a public API. the meaning is rather obscure. long ago, Linux's sysvipc *id_ds structures used 16-bit uids/gids and wrong types for a few other fields. this was in the libc5 era, before glibc. the IPC_64 flag (64 is a misnomer; it's more like 32) tells the kernel to use the modern[-ish] versions of the structures. the definition of IPC_64 has nothing to do with whether the arch is 32- or 64-bit. rather, due to either historical accident or intentional obnoxiousness, the kernel only accepts and masks off the 0x100 IPC_64 flag conditional on CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_IPC_PARSE_VERSION, i.e. for archs that want to provide, or that accidentally provided, both. for archs which don't define this option, no masking is performed and commands with the 0x100 bit set will fail as invalid. so ultimately, the definition is just a matter of matching an arbitrary switch defined per-arch in the kernel.
2016-07-03make brace placement in public header struct definitions consistentRich Felker-2/+1
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.
2016-01-27deduplicate the bulk of the arch bits headersRich Felker-0/+14
all bits headers that were identical for a number of 'clean' archs are moved to the new arch/generic tree. in addition, a few headers that differed only cosmetically from the new generic version are removed. additional deduplication may be possible in mman.h and in several headers (limits.h, posix.h, stdint.h) that mostly depend on whether the arch is 32- or 64-bit, but they are left alone for now because greater gains are likely possible with more invasive changes to header logic, which is beyond the scope of this commit.
