Subject: Data structures defined by both linux and musl
I recently discussed with Rich about the work needed to get 64-bit time_t
support into musl. One of the first steps he identified was to find out which
interfaces we would want to abstract or wrap for a new ABI given that we
have to make a binary incompatible interface anyway.
I have found all the data structures that are provided by both the kernel
headers and the musl headers now, and annotated what I think we the
path forward could be. I already provided the same list on IRC, but
here is a (slightly updated) copy for everyone else.
The takeaway is that we probably need to add new definitions for
flock64, statfs, stat, termios, {msg,sem,shm}{buf,info,id_ds}, ipc_perm,
rlimit, rusage, sched_param, time_t, timeval, timespec, itimerval,
itimerspec, and timex, and then wrap all kernel interfaces that
use those.
The same list can also be helpful when we try to clean up the kernel
header files -- my idea was that we may want to prefix each struct
tag with __kernel_ as we do for typedefs, and then have a kernel
header that redefines them like
#ifdef __WANT_KERNEL_STRUCTS
#define __kernel_flock flock
#endif
struct __kernel_flock {
...
};
