despite sh not generally using register-pair alignment for 64-bit
syscall arguments, there are arch-specific versions of the syscall
entry points for pread and pwrite which include a dummy argument for
alignment before the 64-bit offset argument.
this code was already under #if 0, but could be confusing if a reader
didn't notice that, and it's almost surely full of bugs and/or
inconsistencies with the current code that uses the gethostbyname2_r
backend.
modern compilers (for gcc, versions 4.8 and later) automatically
pre-include <stdc-predef.h> to obtain the values of certain predefined
macros specified by ISO C but which reflect properties of the library
implementation, not just the compiler. provide values indicating that
wchar_t is Unicode-encoded and that Annex F (IEEE floating point) is
supported unless the compiler indicates otherwise.
based on patch by Masanori Ogino.
these changes still do not yield a fully-conforming abort, but they
fix two known issues:
- per POSIX, termination via SIGKILL is not "abnormal", but both ISO C
and POSIX require abort to yield abnormal termination.
- raising SIGKILL fails to do anything to pid 1 in some containers.
now, the trapping instruction produced by a_crash() is expected to
produce abnormal termination, without the risk of invoking a signal
handler since SIGILL and SIGSEGV are blocked, and _Exit, which
contains an infinite loop analogous to the one being removed from
abort itself, is used as a last resort.
this implementation still fails to produce an exit status as if the
process terminated via SIGABRT in cases where SIGABRT is blocked or
ignored, but fixing that is not easy; the obvious pseudo-solutions all
have subtle race conditions where a concurrent fork or exec can expose
incorrect signal state.
it was changed to EM_OR1K in 200d15479c
as that was meant to be the official name, but glibc and the latest
gabi spec still uses the EM_OPENRISC name:

binutils defines both macros so we should do the same for backward
compatibility.
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.
same changes as in the generic header.
and BOTHER and IBSHIFT were removed (present in linux uapi but not
in glibc) and TIOCSER_TEMT was added (present in glibc).
add EXTA, EXTB, CIBAUD, CMSPAR, XCASE macros and hide them as well as
CBAUD, ECHOCTL, ECHOPRT, ECHOKE, FLUSHO, PENDIN in standard mode.
the new macros are both in glibc termios.h and in linux asm/termbits.h,
the later also contains IBSHIFT and BOTHER, those were not added.
these are not standard macros, but some of them are in the reserved
namespace so could be exposed, the ones which are not reserved are
CIBAUD, CMSPAR and XCASE (which was removed in issue 6), the rest
got hidden to be consistent with glibc.
mips and powerpc use their own asm/ioctls.h, not the asm-generic/ioctls.h
and they lack termiox macros that are available on other targets.
see kernel commit 1d65b4a088de407e99714fdc27862449db04fb5c
the (unused) speed fields were omitted when these ports were first
added (within this release cycle, so not present in any release yet)
in accordance with how glibc defines the structure on mips archs.
however their omission does not match existing musl practice/intent.
glibc provides its own, mostly-unified termios structure definition
and performs translation in userspace to match the kernel structure
for the arch, but has gratuitous differences on a few archs like mips,
presumably as a result of historical mistakes. some other libcs use
the kernel definitions directly. musl essentially does that, by
matching the kernel layout in the part of the structure the kernel
will read/write, but leaves additional space at the end for
extensibility. these are nominally the (nonstandard) speed fields and
(on most archs) extra c_cc elements, but since they are not used they
could be repurposed if there's ever a need.
commit 6d38c9cf80 provided an
arm-specific version of posix_fadvise to address the alternate
argument order the kernel expects on arm, but neglected to address
that powerpc (32-bit) has the same issue. instead of having arch
variant files in duplicate, simply put the alternate version in the
top-level file under the control of a macro defined in syscall_arch.h.
when commit 0b6eb2dfb2 added the
parentheses around __syscall to invoke the function directly, there
was no __syscall7 in the syscall macro infrastructure, so this hack
was needed. commit 9a3bbce447 fixed that
but failed to remove the hack.
