musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems
3814333964
this commit preserves ABI fully for existing interface boundaries between libc and libc consumers (applications or libraries), by retaining existing symbol names for the legacy 32-bit interfaces and redirecting sources compiled against the new headers to alternate symbol names. this does not necessarily, however, preserve the pairwise ABI of libc consumers with one another; where they use time_t-derived types in their interfaces with one another, it may be necessary to synchronize updates with each other. the intent is that ABI resulting from this commit already be stable and permanent, but it will not be officially so until a release is made. changes to some header-defined types that do not play any role in the ABI between libc and its consumers may still be subject to change. mechanically, the changes made by this commit for each 32-bit arch are as follows: - _REDIR_TIME64 is defined to activate the symbol redirections in public headers - COMPAT_SRC_DIRS is defined in arch.mak to activate build of ABI compat shims to serve as definitions for the original symbol names - time_t and suseconds_t definitions are changed to long long (64-bit) - IPC_STAT definition is changed to add the IPC_TIME64 bit (0x100), triggering conversion of semid_ds, shmid_ds, and msqid_ds split low/high time bits into new time_t members - structs semid_ds, shmid_ds, msqid_ds, and stat are modified to add new 64-bit time_t/timespec members at the end, maintaining existing layout of other members. - socket options (SO_*) and ioctl (sockios) command macros are redefined to use the kernel's "_NEW" values. in addition, on archs where vdso clock_gettime is used, the VDSO_CGT_SYM macro definition in syscall_arch.h is changed to use a new time64 vdso function if available, and a new VDSO_CGT32_SYM macro is added for use as fallback on kernels lacking time64. |

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
