Due to alignment of 64bit parameters there is a dummy second argument.
But other than that the syscall arguments are directly mapped to the
function arguments.
I've just committed STT_GNU_IFUNC ppc/ppc64 support into prelink,
and this patch is needed on the glibc side. Without it ld.so segfaults,
as in dl-conflict.c sym_map is always NULL. While dl-machine.h could use
RESOLVE_CONFLICT_FIND_MAP macro to compute it, it doesn't make sense,
because with prelink we know it is already properly relocated (all relative
relocations are applied by prelink).
As reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/533063 , preadv/pwritev prototypes
are wrong on 32-bit arches with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and as I've just
found, fallocate is wrong too.
The problem is that only off_t is remapped to the 64-bit type transparently,
__off_t is not.
The implementation of posix_openpt on Linux can fail in a few extra
ways if the appropriate pseudo filesystems are not mounted etc. In
some of these cases we have to explicitly set errno.
If a second call to ttyname is not for the same type of device (e.g.,
serial vs ptty) the prefix of the buffer was wrong. Don't rely on
the previous content, always reinitialize it.
The syscall conventions on some Linux archs prevented F_GETOWN from working
correctly in some situations. This can be rectified when using the new
F_GETOWN_EX command.
tst-longjmp_chk passes, tst-longjmp_chk2 fails but that is because
of some limitations of kernel signal delivery on sparc that I need
to fix, it has nothing to do with the longjmp_chk implementation.
(The problem with tst-longjmp_chk2 is that it tries to do a stack
fault SIGSEGV within a stack fault SIGSEGV , and the Linux kernel
will refuse to setup the signal stack and deliver the signal if the
register windows can't be written out to the stack first)
If a signal arrived during a symbol lookup and the signal handler also
required a symbol lookup, the end of the lookup in the signal handler reset
the flag whether restoring AVX/SSE registers is needed. Resetting means
in this case that the tail part of the outer lookup code will try to
restore the registers and this can fail miserably. We now restore to the
previous value which makes nesting calls possible.
On 64-bit machines we should not split doubles into two 32 bit
integer and handle the words separately. We have wide registers.
This patch implements a 64-bit ceil version. Ideally all other
functions will be converted over time.
