musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
2b4fd6f75b
the 64-bit/time64 version of the syscall is not API-compatible with the userspace timex structure definition; fields specified as long have type long long. so when using the time64 syscall, we have to convert the entire structure. this was always the case for x32 as well, but went unnoticed, meaning that clock_adjtime just passed junk to the kernel on x32. it should be fixed now. for the fallback case, we avoid encoding any assumptions about the new location of the time member or naming of the legacy slots by accessing them through a union of the kernel type and the new userspace type. the only assumption is that the non-time members live at the same offsets as in the (non-time64, long-based) kernel timex struct. this property saves us from having to convert the whole thing, and avoids a lot of additional work in compat shims. the new code is statically unreachable for now except on x32, where it fixes major brokenness. it is permanently unreachable on 64-bit. |

musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
