The revert-part of the revert-and-fix commit, b99887c4283f a.k.a.
"Revert previous change to sys/stat.h and fix cris libgloss",
apparently intending to revert f75aa6785151 a.k.a. "Fix regression in
cris-elf caused by sys/stat.h change" and fix it in another way,
wasn't complete. Although the fix-part added the prerequisite "#undef
st_atime" (et al) to gensyscalls, the revert-part didn't revert the
"&& !defined(__cris__)" in sys/stat.h, stopping st_atime (et al) from
being defined.
The effect of the unreverted change is that accessing the struct stat
compatibility member names "st_atime" (et al) as in "struct stat
mystat; mystat.st_atime;" yields errors, observable for example when
building libgfortran in gcc:
/x/gcc/libgfortran/intrinsics/stat.c:114:42: error: 'struct stat' has \
no member named 'st_atime'; did you mean 'st_atim'?
114 | sarray->base_addr[8 * stride] = sb.st_atime;
| ^~~~~~~~
| st_atim
(etc.)
Trivially fixed by completing the reversion, removing the "&&
!defined(__cris__)" in sys/stat.h.
Beware: the net effect of the earlier related change to struct stat in
sys/stat.h, leading up to the fix, *does* change its definition as a
type. Thankfully, replacing members like "time_t st_atime; long
st_spare1;" by "struct timespec st_atim;", ditto st_mtim and st_ctim,
is layout-compatible. To wit, that change is "binary compatible".
Incidentally, related to the simulator / Linux ABI, there's a
transitional stage (see gensyscalls), reloading between "struct stat"
(sys/stat.h) and "struct new_stat" (kernel/simulator) as necessary.
Tested by a cris-elf gcc build (including libgfortran).
