This series supports the semctl calls on a system with __TIMESIZE==64
and __WORDSIZE==32 while not breaking current architectures. This is a
step towards full y2038 support, but does not get us there yet.
See: https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-May/113774.html
for more details on what is still required.
This series adds a new __semid_ds32 that is passed to the kernel
(as part of a union) when running on 32-bit systems. If we are doing an
IPC_STAT/SEM_STAT command then the 32-bit sem_{c,o}time{_high} values
are combined to create a 64-bit value.
The semctl_syscall() function passes a union semun to the kernel. The
union includes struct semid_ds as a member. On 32-bit architectures the
Linux kernel provides a *_high version of the 32-bit sem_otime and
sem_ctime values. These can be combined to get a 64-bit version of the
time.
This patch adjusts the struct semid_ds to support the *_high versions
of sem_otime and sem_ctime. For 32-bit systems with a 64-bit time_t
this can be used to get a 64-bit time from the two 32-bit values.
This series was tested by running:
./scripts/build-many-glibcs.py ... compilers
./scripts/build-many-glibcs.py ... glibcs
on my x86_64 machine.
I also ran make check on RV32 and I only see a total of 9 test failures.
v9:
- Don't use defined inside a #define
v8:
- Revert back to v6-ish and only support __TIMESIZE==64
v7:
- Re-write based on code from Adhemerval.
v6:
- Update the 3rd patch to pass a temp buffer to the kernel
v5:
- Address v4 review comments
- Set the semid_ds struct from a temp struct
v4:
- Remove the __IPC_TIME64 macro
- It was only used once and doesn't work if __IPC_64 is 0 (which is
usually is)
- Address failures pointed out by Vineet Gupta
