kernel: Implement selective syscall userspace redirection
linux commit 36a6c843fd0d8e02506681577e96dabd203dd8e8
entry: Use different define for selector variable in SUD
redirect syscalls to a userspace handler via SIGSYS, except for a specific
range of code. can be toggled via a memory write to a selector variable.
mainly for wine.
these are linux specific constants. glibc exposes them behind
_GNU_SOURCE, but, since SEEK_* is reserved for the implementation, we
can simply define them. furthermore, since they can't be used with
fseek() and other functions that deal with FILE, we don't add them to
stdio.h.
we make qsort a wrapper by providing a wrapper_cmp function that uses
the extra argument as a function pointer. should be optimized to a tail
call on most architectures, as long as it's built with
-fomit-frame-pointer, so the performance impact should be minimal.
to keep the git history clean, for now qsort_r is implemented in qsort.c
and qsort is implemented in qsort_nr.c. qsort.c also received a few
trivial cleanups, including replacing (*cmp)() calls with cmp().
qsort_nr.c contains only wrapper_cmp and qsort as a qsort_r wrapper
itself.
since 4.1, gcc has had the __returns_twice__ attribute and has
required functions which return twice to carry it; however it's always
applied it automatically to known setjmp-like function names. clang
however does not do this reliably, at least not with -ffreestanding
and possibly under other conditions, resulting in silent emission of
wrong code.
since the symbol name setjmp is in no way special (setjmp is specified
as a macro that could expand to use any implementation-specific symbol
name or names), a compiler is justified not to do anything special
without further hints, and it's reasonable to do what we can to
provide such hints.
gcc 4.0.x and earlier do not recognize the attribute, so make use
conditional on __GNUC__ macros. clang and other gcc-like compilers
report (and have always reported) a later "GNUC" version so the
preprocessor conditional should function as desired for them as too.
undefine the internal macro after use so that nothing abuses it as a
public feature.

outcome of Austin Group issue 62, which drops the AS-safety
requirement for fork, and provides an AS-safe replacement that does
not run the registered atfork handlers.

tcp: Define IPPROTO_MPTCP
putting the (simple) definition in alltypes.h seems like the best
solution here. making sys/ioctl.h implicitly include termios.h is
probably excess namespace pollution.
these have been adopted for future issue of POSIX as the outcome of
Austin Group issue 1151, and are simply functions performing the roles
of the historical ioctls. since struct winsize is being standardized
along with them, its definition is moved to the appropriate header.
there is some chance this will break source files that expect struct
winsize to be defined by sys/ioctl.h without including termios.h. if
this happens, further changes will be needed to have sys/ioctl.h
expose it too.
this is a prerequisite for addition of other interfaces that use
kernel tids, including futex and SIGEV_THREAD_ID.
there is some ambiguity as to whether the semantic return type should
be int or pid_t. either way, futex API imposes a contract that the
values fit in int (excluding some upper reserved bits). glibc used
pid_t, so in the interest of not having gratuitous mismatch (the
underlying types are the same anyway), pid_t is used here as well.
while conceptually this is a syscall, the copy stored in the thread
structure is always valid in all contexts where it's valid to call
libc functions, so it's used to avoid the syscall.
this is added for POSIX-future as the outcome of Austin Group issue
599. since it's in the reserved namespace for pthread.h, there are no
namespace considerations for adding it early.
_POSIX_VDISABLE is only visible if unistd.h has already been included,
so conditional use of it here makes no sense. the value is always 0
anyway; it does not vary.
This enables alternative compilers, which may not define __GNUC__,
to implement alloca, which is still fairly widely used.
This is similar to how stdarg.h already works in musl; compilers must
implement __builtin_va_arg, there is no fallback definition.
this change was discussed on the mailing list thread for the linux
uapi v5.3 patches, and submitted as a v2 patch, but overlooked when I
applied the patches much later.
revert commit f291c09ec9 and apply the
v2 as submitted; the net change is just padding.
notes by Szabolcs Nagy follow:
compared to the linux uapi (and glibc) a padding is used instead of
aligned attribute for keeping the layout the same across targets, this
means the alignment of the struct may be different on some targets
(e.g. m68k where uint64_t is 2 byte aligned) but that should not affect
syscalls and this way the abi does not depend on nonstandard extensions.

exit status by a non-parent process, see
