2012-07-12workaround another sendmsg kernel bug on 64-bit machinesRich Felker-7/+0
the kernel wrongly expects the cmsg length field to be size_t instead of socklen_t. in order to work around the issue, we have to impose a length limit and copy to a local buffer. the length limit should be more than sufficient for any real-world use; these headers are only used for passing file descriptors and permissions between processes over unix sockets.
2012-06-23add process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev syscall wrappersRich Felker-0/+9
based on a patch submitted by Kristian L. <email@thexception.net>
2012-06-15header file fixes: multiple include guard consistency and correctnessRich Felker-6/+6
one file was reusing another file's macro name, and many had inconsistent underscores and application of SYS prefix, etc. patch by Szabolcs Nagy (nsz)
2012-06-07fix sysinfo, try 2. it seems to work this time.Rich Felker-10/+10
2012-06-07sysinfo struct was utter nonsense; no idea where it came from.Rich Felker-4/+3
this broke the busybox "free" utility (memory reporting) and possibly other things like uptime.
2012-06-04_GNU_SOURCE is supposed to imply _LARGEFILE64_SOURCERich Felker-7/+7
this is ugly and stupid, but now that the *64 symbol names exist, a lot of broken GNU software detects them in configure, then either breaks during build due to missing off64_t definition, or attempts to compile without function declarations/prototypes. "fixing" it here is easier than telling everyone to add yet another feature test macro to their builds.
2012-05-22various header cleanups, some related to _BSD_SOURCE additionRich Felker-4/+4
there is no reason to avoid multiple identical macro definitions; this is perfectly legal C, and even with the maximal warning options enabled, gcc does not issue any warning for it.
2012-05-22support _BSD_SOURCE feature test macroRich Felker-5/+9
patch by Isaac Dunham. matched closely (maybe not exact) to glibc's idea of what _BSD_SOURCE should make visible.
2012-05-10fix missing parens in bit op macros (param.h)Rich Felker-1/+1
2012-05-10and another bug in setbit, etc. macros..Rich Felker-1/+1
2012-05-10fix typo in sys/param.h that broke setbit, etc. macrosRich Felker-1/+1
this is all junk, but some programs use it.
2012-05-04add *64 junk for sys/*.h headersRich Felker-0/+50
2012-04-18legacy junk compatibility grab-bagRich Felker-7/+22
- add the rest of the junk traditionally in sys/param.h - add prototypes for some nonstandard functions - add _GNU_SOURCE to their source files so the compiler can check proto
2012-02-07fix typo in inotify.hRich Felker-1/+1
2012-02-01apparently gnu caddr_t is supposed to be char *, not unsigned longRich Felker-1/+1
this type should never be used anyway, but some old junk uses it..
2012-01-28add linux setfs[ug]id syscall wrappersRich Felker-0/+20
patch by Jeremy Huntwork
2012-01-26remove useless "extern" keywords in headersRich Felker-1/+1
2012-01-24add MIN/MAX macros to sys/param.hRich Felker-0/+5
this is a nonstandard junk header anyway, so just do what apps expect..
2012-01-24add legacy futimes and lutimes functionsRich Felker-0/+2
based on patch by sh4rm4. these functions are deprecated; futimens and utimensat should be used instead in new programs.
2012-01-20add prlimit syscall wrapperRich Felker-0/+8
2011-11-10fix all missing instances of __cplusplus checks/extern "C" in headersRich Felker-0/+95
patch by Arvid Picciani (aep)
2011-10-17fix some details in ugly stuff that doesn't belong in libcRich Felker-0/+2
patches by sh4rm4, presumably needed to make gdb or some similar junk happy...
2011-09-26cleanup various minor issues reported by nszRich Felker-1/+1
the changes to syscall_ret are mostly no-ops in the generated code, just cleanup of type issues and removal of some implementation-defined behavior. the one exception is the change in the comparison value, which is fixed so that 0xf...f000 (which in principle could be a valid return value for mmap, although probably never in reality) is not treated as an error return.
2011-09-23FD_ISSET must return an int. this is the easiest way.Rich Felker-1/+1
casting to int would not be correct because high bits could be lost. mapping the high bits down onto low bits would be costlier in the common case where the result is just used in a conditional. changing the type of the bit array elements to int would permute the order of the bit array on 64-bit big endian systems, so that's not an option either.
2011-09-23sys/user.h may need stdint.hRich Felker-0/+1
2011-09-20fix some header typosRich Felker-1/+1
2011-09-20fix the fsid_t structure to match name of __valRich Felker-1/+1
this is a case of poorly written man pages not matching the actual implementation, and why i hate implementing nonstandard interfaces with no actual documentation of how they're intended to work.
2011-09-19fix the definition of struct statvfs to match lsb abiRich Felker-7/+24
at the same time, make struct statfs match the traditional definition and make it more useful, especially the fsid_t stuff.
2011-09-19fix broken multi-inclusion guard in sys/reg.hRich Felker-2/+2
2011-09-18cleanup more bits cruft (sysmacros and socket)Rich Felker-1/+199
2011-09-15implement ptrace syscall wrapper (untested)Rich Felker-1/+1
2011-08-27fix broken FD_* macros on 64-bit targetsRich Felker-3/+3
1 is too small if int is 32-bit but unsigned long is 64-bit. be explicit and use 1UL.
2011-07-09add missing signalfd flagsRich Felker-0/+3
2011-06-18copy-paste error in prctl.hRich Felker-1/+1
2011-06-16fix some struct padding to match LSB/glibc ABI where it may be helpfulRich Felker-2/+4
2011-05-08eventfd syscall wrapper and read/write wrappersRich Felker-0/+25
2011-04-21move wait.h macros out of bits. they do not vary.Rich Felker-2/+22
2011-04-21include signal.h to avoid thorny __sigcontext/sigcontext issuesRich Felker-2/+2
this is explicitly allowed by POSIX
2011-04-14add useless type fd_mask. it's in the reserved namespace.Rich Felker-0/+2
2011-04-13numerous fixes to sysv ipcRich Felker-13/+55
some of these definitions were just plain wrong, others based on outdated ancient "non-64" versions of the kernel interface. as much as possible has now been moved out of bits/* these changes break abi (the old abi for these functions was wrong), but since they were not working anyway it can hardly matter.
2011-04-13fix typos on RLIM_NLIMITS, remove _GNU_SOURCE test for itRich Felker-3/+1
RLIM_* is in the reserved namespace for this header
2011-04-13fix and cleanup suseconds_t/timeval stuff (broken on 64-bit)Rich Felker-9/+1
trash in the upper 32 bits was making the kernel sleep forever in select on 64-bit systems.
2011-04-12add some traditional aliases to stat.hRich Felker-0/+6
2011-04-12add missing rlimit macrosRich Felker-0/+8
2011-04-11cleanup types stuff in headers, fix missing u_int*_t in sys/types.hRich Felker-7/+9
2011-04-10add some ugly legacy type names in sys/types.h (u_char etc.)Rich Felker-0/+8
2011-04-10add legacy BSD-style timer*() macros in sys/time.hRich Felker-0/+10
2011-04-10add missing UTIME_* macros in sys/stat.hRich Felker-0/+3
2011-04-06fix typo in sys/msg.hRich Felker-1/+1
2011-04-06fix incorrect (and conflicting on LP64 archs) types for sysv ipc msgq functionsRich Felker-1/+1
