presently, all archs/ABIs have struct stat matching the kernel
stat[64] type, except mips/mipsn32/mips64 which do conversion hacks in
syscall_arch.h to work around bugs in the kernel type. this patch
completely decouples them and adds a translation step to the success
path of fstatat. at present, this is just a gratuitous copying, but it
opens up multiple possibilities for future support for 64-bit time_t
on 32-bit archs and for cleaned-up/unified ABIs.
for clarity, the mips hacks are not yet removed in this commit, so the
mips kstat structs still correspond to the output of the hacks in
their syscall_arch.h files, not the raw kernel type. a subsequent
commit will fix this.
three ABIs are supported: the default with 68881 80-bit fpu format and
results returned in floating point registers, softfloat-only with the
same format, and coldfire fpu with IEEE single/double only. only the
first is tested at all, and only under qemu which has fpu emulation
bugs.
basic functionality smoke tests have been performed for the most
common arch-specific breakage via libc-test and qemu user-level
emulation. some sysvipc failures remain, but are shared with other big
endian archs and will be fixed separately.
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.
