commit 01ae3fc6d48f4a45535189b7a6db286535af08ca modified fstatat to
translate the kernel's struct stat ("kstat") into the libc struct stat.
To do this, it created a local kstat object, and copied its contents
into the user-provided object.
However, the commit neglected to update the fstat compatibility path and
its fallbacks. They continued to pass the user-supplied object to the
kernel, later overwiting it with the uninitialized memory in the local
temporary.

commit dfc81828f7ab41da08f744c44117a1bb20a05749 accidentally defined
an instance of struct statx along with the struct declaration.

this commit adds a new backend for fstatat (and thereby the whole stat
family) using the SYS_statx syscall, but conditions the new code on
the kernel stat structure's time fields being smaller than time_t. in
principle that should make it all dead code at present, but mips64 has
a broken stat structure with 32-bit time fields despite having 64-bit
time_t elsewhere, so on mips64 it is a functional change that makes
post-Y2038 filesystem timestamps accessible.
whenever the 32-bit archs end up getting 64-bit time_t, regardless of
how that happens, the changes in this commit will automatically take
effect for them too.

presently, all archs/ABIs have struct stat matching the kernel
stat[64] type, except mips/mipsn32/mips64 which do conversion hacks in
syscall_arch.h to work around bugs in the kernel type. this patch
completely decouples them and adds a translation step to the success
path of fstatat. at present, this is just a gratuitous copying, but it
opens up multiple possibilities for future support for 64-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs and for cleaned-up/unified ABIs.
for clarity, the mips hacks are not yet removed in this commit, so the
mips kstat structs still correspond to the output of the hacks in
their syscall_arch.h files, not the raw kernel type. a subsequent
commit will fix this.

equivalent logic for fstat+O_PATH fallback and direct use of
stat/lstat syscalls where appropriate is kept, now in the fstatat
function. this change both improves functionality (now, fstatat forms
equivalent to fstat/lstat/stat will work even on kernels too old to
have the at functions) and localizes direct interfacing with the
kernel stat structure to one file.

the LFS64 macro was not self-documenting and barely saved any
characters. simply use weak_alias directly so that it's clear what's
being done, and doesn't depend on a header to provide a strange macro.
|
|
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.
