Various Linux kernel syscalls have become obsolete over time. Specifically, the following are obsolete in all kernel versions supported by glibc, are not present for architectures more recently added to the kernel, and as such, the wrapper functions for them should be compat symbols, not in static libc and not available for new links with shared libc. * bdflush: in Linux 2.6, does nothing if present. * create_module get_kernel_syms query_module: Linux 2.4 module interface, syscalls not present in Linux 2.6. * uselib: part of the mechanism for loading a.out shared libraries, irrelevant with ELF. This patch adds support for syscalls.list to list syscall aliases of the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED, with SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals being generated for such aliases. Those five syscalls are then made into compat symbols (obsoleted in glibc 2.23, so future ports won't have these symbols at all), with the header <sys/kdaemon.h> declaring bdflush being removed. When we move to 3.2 as minimum kernel version, the same can be done for nfsservctl (removed in Linux 3.1) as well. Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, as well as checking that the symbols in question indeed become compat symbols, that they are indeed omitted from static libc, and that the generated SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals look right). [BZ #18472] * sysdeps/unix/Makefile ($(objpfx)stub-syscalls.c): Handle entries for the form NAME@VERSION:OBSOLETED and generate SHLIB_COMPAT conditionals for them. * sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/kdaemon.h: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Remove sys/kdaemon.h. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (bdflush): Make into compat-only syscall, obsoleted in glibc 2.23. (create_module): Likewise. (get_kernel_syms): Likewise. (query_module): Likewise. (uselib): Likewise. * manual/sysinfo.texi (System Parameters): Do not mention bdflush. |

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu Not currently functional without patches. i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
