- improve fn prototypes of process_vm_writev
- make the memory writable in the ELF file
- force the linker to always append the function
- write updates with process_vm_writev
Also add `std.fs.has_executable_bit` for doing conditional compilation.
This adds the linux syscalls for chmod and fchmodat, as well as the
extern libc function declarations.
Only `fchmodat` is added to `std.os`, and it is not yet added to std.fs.
There are still a few occurrences of "stage1" in the standard library
and self-hosted compiler source, however, these instances need a bit
more careful inspection to ensure no breakage.
perf_event_attr.type needs to take a runtime defined value to enable
dynamic PMU:s, such as kprobe and uprobe. This value can exceed
predefined values defined in the linux headers.

POSIX specifies that the sa_handler field of the sigaction struct may
be set to SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL. However, the current constants in the
standard library use the function pointer signature corresponding to
the sa_sigaction field instead.
This may not cause issues in practice because the fields usually occupy
the same memory in a union, but this isn't required by POSIX and there
may be systems we do not yet support that do this differently.
Fixing this also makes the Zig interface less confusing to use after
reading the man page.

When lowering a struct type to an LLVM struct type, keep track of
whether there are any underaligned fields. If so, then make it a packed
llvm struct. This works because we already insert manual padding bytes
regardless.
We could unconditionally use an LLVM packed struct; the reason we bother
checking for underaligned fields is that it is a conservative choice, in
case LLVM handles packed structs less optimally. A future improvement
could simplify this code by unconditionally using packed LLVM structs
and then make sure measure perf is unaffected.

The fstype argument to the mount system call can be null. To see an
example run "strace -e trace=mount unshare -m":
```
mount("none", "/", NULL, MS_REC|MS_PRIVATE, NULL) = 0
...
```
The previous definition depends on a non-lang-spec-compliant memory
layout for packed structs, which happens to trigger #11989 in stage2.
This commit changes the struct to be an extern struct with an
align(4) field. However, stage1 cannot handle this, so conditional
compilation logic is used to select different struct definitions
depending on stage1 vs stage2.
This works around #11989 but does not solve the underlying problem -
putting an extern union inside a packed struct will still trigger the
assert.
After this, both stage1 and stage2 std lib tests run assertion-clean
with a debug LLVM 13.
all_mask is a value of type sigset_t, which is defined as an array type
[N]u32. However, all_mask references sigset_t.len, but, the array type
does not have a len field. Fix is to use @typeInfo(sigset_t).Array.len
instead.
Previously, updating the `SYS` enum for each architecture required
manually looking at the syscall tables and inserting any new additions.
This commit adds a tool, `generate_linux_syscalls.zig`, that automates
this process using the syscall tables in the Linux source tree. On
architectures without a table, it runs `zig cc` as a pre-processor to
extract the system-call numbers from the Linux headers.
Rename all references of sparcv9 to sparc64, to make Zig align more with
other projects. Also, added new function to convert glibc arch name to Zig
arch name, since it refers to the architecture as sparcv9.
This is based on the suggestion by @kubkon in PR 11847.

the list parameter should be a multi-item pointer rather than a single-item
pointer. see: https://linux.die.net/man/2/setgroups
> setgroups() sets the supplementary group IDs for the calling process...
> the size argument specifies the number of supplementary group IDs in the buffer pointed to by list.
