2011-04-05alternate name for syslog.hRich Felker-0/+1
2011-03-19syscall overhaul part two - unify public and internal syscall interfaceRich Felker-1/+17
with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6 arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the casts are hidden in the macros. some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall() instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL have also been changed. x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any minor bugs/oversights.
2011-03-19add some ioctl stuff to sys/mount.hRich Felker-0/+18
2011-03-19overhaul syscall interfaceRich Felker-0/+16
this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and __NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs the actual inline syscalls in the library itself. previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers. further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
2011-03-18various legacy and linux-specific stuffRich Felker-0/+107
this commit is part of an effort to make more of busybox work out-of-the-box.
2011-03-14remove some old cruft from sys/types.hRich Felker-1/+0
2011-03-08fcntl.h should make availabel the mode constants from sys/stat.hRich Felker-8/+2
also remove some legacy nonsense that crept in.

2011-02-27cleanup namespace in sys/time.hRich Felker-4/+5
2011-02-20include sys/sysmacros.h from sys/types.h when _GNU_SOURCE is definedRich Felker-0/+1
2011-02-20fix typo in inotify structureRich Felker-1/+1
2011-02-20make sys/param.h not depend on PATH_MAX and NAME_MAXRich Felker-2/+2
this is a nonstandard header used only by backwards programs, but for some reason it's extremely popular. the recent namespace cleanup fixes broke it, because PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX will not be defined unless an approriate feature test macro has been defined. moreover, it's too late to just #define _GNU_SOURCE in param.h, since limits.h may have already been included. let's just hard-code standard values and be done with it.
2011-02-19add syscall wrappers for inotifyRich Felker-0/+55
2011-02-19prototype wait3 and wait4Rich Felker-3/+6
2011-02-17add portable lchown (trivial to support and a few ancient things want it..)Rich Felker-0/+3
2011-02-17reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.hRich Felker-0/+14
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.
2011-02-14extensive header cleanup for standards conformance & correctnessRich Felker-3/+8
thanks to Peter Mazinger (psm) for pointing many of these issues out and submitting a patch on which this commit is loosely based
