This is very likely full of wrong stuff. It's effectively just a copy of the
x86_64 file - needed because the former stopped using usize/isize. To be clear,
this is no more broken than the old situation was; this just makes the
brokenness explicit.

This type is useful for two things:
* Doing non-local control flow with ucontext.h functions.
* Inspecting machine state in a signal handler.
The first use case is not one we support; we no longer expose bindings to those
functions in the standard library. They're also deprecated in POSIX and, as a
result, not available in musl.
The second use case is valid, but is very poorly served by the standard library.
As evidenced by my changes to std.debug.cpu_context.signal_context_t, users will
be better served rolling their own ucontext_t and especially mcontext_t types
which fit their specific situation. Further, these types tend to evolve
frequently as architectures evolve, and the standard library has not done a good
job keeping up, or even providing them for all supported targets.
Our usage of `ucontext_t` in the standard library was kind of
problematic. We unnecessarily mimiced libc-specific structures, and our
`getcontext` implementation was overkill for our use case of stack
tracing.
This commit introduces a new namespace, `std.debug.cpu_context`, which
contains "context" types for various architectures (currently x86,
x86_64, ARM, and AARCH64) containing the general-purpose CPU registers;
the ones needed in practice for stack unwinding. Each implementation has
a function `current` which populates the structure using inline
assembly. The structure is user-overrideable, though that should only be
necessary if the standard library does not have an implementation for
the *architecture*: that is to say, none of this is OS-dependent.
Of course, in POSIX signal handlers, we get a `ucontext_t` from the
kernel. The function `std.debug.cpu_context.fromPosixSignalContext`
converts this to a `std.debug.cpu_context.Native` with a big ol' target
switch.
This functionality is not exposed from `std.c` or `std.posix`, and
neither are `ucontext_t`, `mcontext_t`, or `getcontext`. The rationale
is that these types and functions do not conform to a specific ABI, and
in fact tend to get updated over time based on CPU features and
extensions; in addition, different libcs use different structures which
are "partially compatible" with the kernel structure. Overall, it's a
mess, but all we need is the kernel context, so we can just define a
kernel-compatible structure as long as we don't claim C compatibility by
putting it in `std.c` or `std.posix`.
This change resulted in a few nice `std.debug` simplifications, but
nothing too noteworthy. However, the main benefit of this change is that
DWARF unwinding---sometimes necessary for collecting stack traces
reliably---now requires far less target-specific integration.
Also fix a bug I noticed in `PageAllocator` (I found this due to a bug
in my distro's QEMU distribution; thanks, broken QEMU patch!) and I
think a couple of minor bugs in `std.debug`.

The switch from @bitCast() to @intCast() here safety-checks
Linux's assertion that these 3 calls never return errors (negative
values as pid_t). getppid() can legally return 0 if the parent is
in a different pid namespace, but this is not an error.
When not linking libc on 64-bit Linux and calling posix.setsid(),
we get a type error at compile time inside of posix.errno(). This
is because posix.errno()'s non-libc branch expects a usize-sized
value, which is what all the error-returning os.linux syscalls
return, and linux.setsid() instead returned a pid_t, which is only
32 bits wide.
This and the other 3 pid-related calls just below it (getpid(),
getppid(), and gettid()) are the only Linux syscall examples here
that are casting their return values to pid_t. For the other 3
this makes sense: those calls are documented to have no possible
errors and always return a valid pid_t value.
However, setsid() actually can return the error EPERM, and
therefore needs to return the raw value from syscall0 for
posix.errno() to process like normal.
Additionally, posix.setsid() needs an @intCast(rc) for the success
case as a result, like most other such cases.
We need std.os.linux and std.c to agree on the types here, or else
we'd have to pointlessly cast across the difference up in the
std.posix wrapper. I ran into this as a type error the first time
I tried to compile my code that calls posix.socketpair() on Linux
without libc.
All of our existing socket calls with these kinds of arguments in
std (including the existing c.socketpair as well as
os.linux.socket in this same file) use unsigned for all of these
parameters, and so this brings linux.socketpair() into alignment
with everything else.
Because these lists are very long in several cases and quite
varied, I opted to place them in the existing c/foo.zig files.
There are many other sets of network-related constants like this
to add over time across all the OSes. For now I picked these
because I needed a few constants from each of these namespaces for
my own project, so I tried to flesh out these namespaces
completely as best I could, at least for basic sockopt purposes.
Note windows has some of these already defined in ws2_32 as
individual constants rather than contained in a namespacing
struct. I'm not sure what to do with that in the long run (break
it and namespace them?), but this doesn't change the status quo
for windows in any case.
in_pktinfo is only used on a few targets for the IP_PKTINFO
sockopt, as many BSDs use an alternate mechanism (IP_RECVDSTADDR)
that doesn't require a special struct. in6_pktinfo is more
universal.
Previously we had a single definition of std.c.cmsghdr for all
libc-linking platforms which aliased from the Solaris definition,
a superfluous matching one in std.os.dragonfly, and no others.
The existing definition from std.c didn't actually work for Linux,
as Linux's "len" field is usize in the kernel's definition.
Emscripten follows the Linux model of course (but uses the
binary-compatible musl definition, which has an endian-sensitive
padding scheme to make the len type "socklen_t" even though the
kernel uses a usize, which is fair).
This unifies and documents all the known *nix-ish cases (I'm not
sure if wasi or windows really has cmsghdr support? Could be added
later, void for now), such that c.cmsghdr and posix.system.cmsghdr
should work correctly for all the known cases here, libc or
otherwise.
This make `fs.Dir.access` has compatibility like the zig version before.
With this change the `zig build --search-prefix` command would work again like
the zig 0.14 version when used on Ubuntu22.04, kernel version 5.4.
Newer 32-bit Linux targets like 32-bit RISC-V only use the 64-bit
time ABI, with these syscalls having `time64` as their suffix.
This is a stopgap solution in favor of a full audit of `std.os.linux` to
prepare for #4726.
See also #21440 for prior art.
The generic syscall table has different names for syscalls that take a
timespec64 on 32-bit targets, in that it adds the `_time64` suffix.
Similarly, the `_time32` suffix has been removed.
I'm not sure if the existing logic for determining the proper timespec
struct to use was subtly broken, but it should be a good chance to
finish #4726 - we only have 12 years after all...
As for the changes since 6.11..6.16:
6.11:
- x86_64 gets `uretprobe`, a syscall to speed up returning BPF probes.
- Hexagon gets `clone3`, but don't be fooled: it just returns ENOSYS.
6.13:
- The `*xattr` family of syscalls have been enhanced with new `*xattrat`
versions, similar to the other file-based `at` calls.
6.15:
- Atomically create a detached mount tree and set mount options on it.
Finally, this commit also adds the syscall numbers for OpenRISC and maps
it to the `or1k` cpu.
added adapter to AnyWriter and GenericWriter to help bridge the gap
between old and new API
make std.testing.expectFmt work at compile-time
std.fmt no longer has a dependency on std.unicode. Formatted printing
was never properly unicode-aware. Now it no longer pretends to be.

* std.io.GenericWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.io.AnyReader -> std.io.Reader
* std.io.AnyWriter -> std.io.Writer
* std.fmt.format -> std.fmt.deprecatedFormat
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeLower -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceEscapeUpper -> std.ascii.hexEscape
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexLower -> {x}
* std.fmt.fmtSliceHexUpper -> {X}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeDec -> {B}
* std.fmt.fmtIntSizeBin -> {Bi}
* std.fmt.fmtDuration -> {D}
* std.fmt.fmtDurationSigned -> {D}
* {} -> {f} when there is a format method
* format method signature
- anytype -> *std.io.Writer
- inferred error set -> error{WriteFailed}
- options -> (deleted)
* std.fmt.Formatted
- now takes context type explicitly
- no fmt string
Macos uses the BSD definition of msghdr
All linux architectures share a single msghdr definition. Many
architectures had manually inserted padding fields that were endian
specific and some had fields with different integers. This unifies all
architectures to use a single correct msghdr definition.
* `futex2_waitv` always takes a 64-bit timespec. Perhaps the
`kernel_timespec` should be renamed `timespec64`? Its used in iouring,
too.
* Add `packed struct` for futex v2 flags and parameters.
* Add very basic "tests" for the futex v2 syscalls (just to ensure the
code compiles).
* Update the stale or broken comments. (I could also just delete these
they're not really documenting Zig-specific behavior.)
Given that the futex2 APIs are not used by Zig's library (they're a bit
too new), and the fact that these are very specialized syscalls, and they
currently provide no benefit over the existing v1 API, I wonder if instead
of fixing these up, we should just replace them with a stub that says 'use
a 3rd party library'.
* Use `packed struct` for flags arguments. So, instead of
`linux.FUTEX.WAIT` use `.{ .cmd = .WAIT, .private = true }`
* rename `futex_wait` and `futex_wake` which didn't actually specify
wait/wake, as `futex_3arg` and `futex_4arg` (as its the number
of parameters that is different, the `op` is whatever is specified.
* expose the full six-arg flavor of the syscall (for some of the advanced
ops), and add packed structs for their arguments.
* Use a `packed union` to support the 4th parameter which is sometimes a
`timespec` pointer, and sometimes a `u32`.
* Add tests that make sure the structure layout is correct and that the
basic argument passing is working (no actual futexes are contended).
Nothing interesting here; literally just the bare minimum so I can work on this
on and off in a branch without worrying about merge conflicts in the non-backend
code.
This code applies to ~any POSIX OS where we don't link libc. For example, it'll
be useful for FreeBSD and NetBSD.
As part of this, move std.os.linux.pie to std.pie since there's really nothing
Linux-specific about what that file is doing.
For C code the macros SIGRTMIN and SIGRTMAX provide these values. In
practice what looks like a constant is actually provided by a libc call.
So the Zig implementations are explicitly function calls.
glibc (and Musl) export a run-time minimum "real-time" signal number,
based on how many signals are reserved for internal implementation details
(generally threading). In practice, on Linux, sigrtmin() is 35 on glibc
with the older LinuxThread and 34 with the newer NPTL-based
implementation. Musl always returns 35. The maximum "real-time" signal
number is NSIG - 1 (64 on most Linux kernels, but 128 on MIPS).
When not linking a C Library, Zig can report the full range of "rt"
signals (none are reserved by Zig).
Fixes#21189
Dunno why the MIPS signal numbers are different, or why Zig had them
already special cased, but wrong.
We have the technology to test these constants. We should use it.
By returning an initialized sigset (instead of taking the set as an output
parameter), these functions can be used to directly initialize the `mask`
parameter of a `Sigaction` instance.
The kernel ABI sigset_t is smaller than the glibc one. Define the
right-sized sigset_t and fixup the sigaction() wrapper to leverage it.
The Sigaction wrapper here is not an ABI, so relax it (drop the "extern"
and the "restorer" fields), the existing `k_sigaction` is the ABI
sigaction struct.
Linux defines `sigset_t` with a c_ulong, so it can be 32-bit or 64-bit,
depending on the platform. This can make a difference on big-endian
systems.
Patch up `ucontext_t` so that this change doesn't impact its layout.
AFAICT, its currently the glibc layout.
