(linux socket.h is not in uapi so this update was missed earlier)
With Linux kernel 4.16 it will be possible to guard more parts of the
Linux header files from a libc. Make use of this in musl to guard all
the structures and other definitions from the Linux header files which
are also defined by the header files provided by musl. This will make
it possible to compile source files which include both the libc
headers and the kernel userspace headers.
This extends the definitions done in commit 04983f2272 ("make
netinet/in.h suppress clashing definitions from kernel headers")
notes added by maintainer:
this function is a GNU extension. it was chosen over the similar BSD
function funopen because the latter depends on fpos_t being an
arithmetic type as part of its public API, conflicting with our
definition of fpos_t and with the intent that it be an opaque type. it
was accepted for inclusion because, despite not being widely used, it
is usually very difficult to extricate software using it from the
dependency on it.
calling pattern for the read and write callbacks is not likely to
match glibc or other implementations, but should work with any
reasonable callbacks. in particular the read function is never called
without at least one byte being needed to satisfy its caller, so that
spurious blocking is not introduced.
contracts for what callbacks called from inside libc/stdio can do are
always complicated, and at some point still need to be specified
explicitly. at the very least, the callbacks must return or block
indefinitely (they cannot perform nonlocal exits) and they should not
make calls to stdio using their own FILE as an argument.
for getting/setting write lifetime hints fcntl commands were
added in linux commit c75b1d9421f80f4143e389d2d50ddfc8a28c8c35
added under _GNU_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE, since RWH_* life time
hints are not in the POSIX reserved namespace.

since setlocale(cat, NULL) is required to return the setting for the
global locale, there is no standard mechanism to obtain the name of
the currently active thread-local locale set by uselocale. this makes
it impossible for application/library software to load appropriate
translations, etc. unless using the gettext implementation provided by
libc, which has privileged access to libc internals.
to fill this gap, glibc introduced the _NL_LOCALE_NAME macro which can
be used with nl_langinfo to obtain the name. GNU gettext/gnulib code
already use this functionality on glibc, and can easily be adapted to
make use of it on non-glibc systems if it's available; for other
systems they poke at locale implementation internals, which we want to
avoid. this patch provides a compatible interface to the one glibc
introduced.
the bit is reserved anyway for ABI-compat reasons; this documents it
and makes it so we can have posix_spawnattr_setflags check for flag
validity without hard-coding an anonymous bit value.
this has been slated for removal for a long time. there is
fundamentally no way to implement stdarg without compiler assistance;
any attempt to do so has serious undefined behavior; its working
depends not just (as a common misconception goes) on ABI, but also on
assumptions about compiler code generation internal to a translation
unit, which is not subject to external ABI constraints.
alpha and s390x gratuitously use 64-bit entries (wasting 2x space and
cache utilization) despite the values always being 32-bit.
based on patch by Bobby Bingham, with changes suggested by Alexander
Monakov to use the public Elf_Symndx type from link.h (and make it
properly variable by arch) rather than adding new internal
infrastructure for handling the type.
based on patch by Timo Teräs:
While generally this is a bad API, it is the only existing API to
affect c++ (std::thread) and c11 (thrd_create) thread stack size.
This patch allows applications only to increate stack and guard
page sizes.
the linux kernel uapi headers provide their own definitions of the
structures from netinet/in.h, resulting in errors when a program
includes both the standard libc header and one or more of the
networking-related kernel headers that pull in the kernel definitions.
as before, we do not attempt to support the case where kernel headers
are included before the libc ones, since the kernel definitions may
have subtly incorrect types, namespace violations, etc. however, we
can easily support the inclusion of the kernel headers after the libc
ones, since the kernel headers provide a public interface for
suppressing their definitions. this patch adds the necessary macro
definitions for such suppression.
the value 19991006 for __RES implies availability of res_ninit and
related functions that take a resolver state argument; these are not
supported since our resolver is stateless. instead claim support for
just the older API by defining __RES to 19960801.

the _CS_V6_ENV and _CS_V7_ENV constants are required to be available for use
with confstr. glibc defines these constants with values 1148 and 1149,
respectively.
the only missing (and required) confstr constants are
_CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_CFLAGS and _CS_POSIX_V7_THREADS_LDFLAGS which remain
unavailable in glibc.
aarch64, arm, mips, mips64, mipsn32, powerpc, powerpc64 and sh have
cpu feature bits defined in linux for AT_HWCAP auxv entry, so expose
those in sys/auxv.h
it seems the mips hwcaps were never exposed to userspace neither
by linux nor by glibc, but that's most likely an oversight.
