I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
With all Linux ABIs using the expected Linux kABI to indicate
syscalls errors, the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL is an empty declaration
on all ports.
This patch removes the 'err' argument on INTERNAL_SYSCALL* macro
and remove the INTERNAL_SYSCALL_DECL usage.
Checked with a build against all affected ABIs.
The personality system call, starting with linux kernel commit
v2.6.29-6609-g11d06b2a1e5658f448a308aa3beb97bacd64a940, always
successfully changes the personality if requested. The syscall
wrapper, however, still can return an error in the following cases:
- the value returned by the system call looks like an error
due to architecture limitations of 32-bit kernels;
- a personality greater than 0xffffffff is passed to the system call,
and the 64-bit kernel does not have commit
v2.6.35-rc1-372-g485d527686850d68a0e9006dd9904f19f122485e
that would truncate this value to unsigned int;
- on sparc64, the value returned by the system call looks like an error
due to sparc64 kernel sign extension bug.
The solution is three-fold:
- move generic syscalls.list personality entry to generic 64-bit
syscalls.list file;
- for each 32-bit architecture that use negated errno semantics,
add a NOERRNO personality entry to their syscalls.list file;
- for sparc64 and 32-bit architectures that use dedicated registers
to flag syscall errors, add a wrapper around personality syscall;
if the system call return value is flagged as an error, this wrapper
returns the negated "would be errno" value, otherwise it returns
the system call return value; on sparc64, it also truncates the
personality argument to unsigned int before passing it to the kernel.
