2022-10-19remove LFS64 symbol aliases; replace with dynamic linker remappingRich Felker-2/+0
originally the namespace-infringing "large file support" interfaces were included as part of glibc-ABI-compat, with the intent that they not be used for linking, since our off_t is and always has been unconditionally 64-bit and since we usually do not aim to support nonstandard interfaces when there is an equivalent standard interface. unfortunately, having the symbols present and available for linking caused configure scripts to detect them and attempt to use them without declarations, producing all the expected ill effects that entails. as a result, commit 2dd8d5e1b8ba1118ff1782e96545cb8a2318592c was made to prevent this, using macros to redirect the LFS64 names to the standard names, conditional on _GNU_SOURCE or _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE. however, this has turned out to be a source of further problems, especially since g++ defines _GNU_SOURCE by default. in particular, the presence of these names as macros breaks a lot of valid code. this commit removes all the LFS64 symbols and replaces them with a mechanism in the dynamic linker symbol lookup failure path to retry with the spurious "64" removed from the symbol name. in the future, if/when the rest of glibc-ABI-compat is moved out of libc, this can be removed.
2018-09-12remove spurious inclusion of libc.h for LFS64 ABI aliasesRich Felker-2/+1
the LFS64 macro was not self-documenting and barely saved any characters. simply use weak_alias directly so that it's clear what's being done, and doesn't depend on a header to provide a strange macro.
2016-07-01fix posix_fadvise syscall args on powerpc, unify with arm fixRich Felker-0/+8
commit 6d38c9cf80f47623e5e48190046673bbd0dc410b 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.
2016-06-29in posix_fadvise, don't bypass __syscall macro infrastructureRich Felker-1/+1
when commit 0b6eb2dfb2e84a8a51906e7634f3d5edc230b058 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 9a3bbce447403d735282586786dc436ec1ffbad4 fixed that but failed to remove the hack.
2014-01-06add some missing LFS64 aliases for fadvise/fallocate functionsRich Felker-0/+3
2011-09-21update syscalls with off_t arguments to handle argument alignment, if neededRich Felker-2/+2
the arm syscall abi requires 64-bit arguments to be aligned on an even register boundary. these new macros facilitate meeting the abi requirement without imposing significant ugliness on the code.
