With big DNS answers like the one you get for goodtimesdot.com you can
get a truncated address list if IPv6 mapping is enabled. Instead tell
the caller to resize the buffer.
Due to alignment of 64bit parameters there is a dummy second argument.
But other than that the syscall arguments are directly mapped to the
function arguments.
I've just committed STT_GNU_IFUNC ppc/ppc64 support into prelink,
and this patch is needed on the glibc side. Without it ld.so segfaults,
as in dl-conflict.c sym_map is always NULL. While dl-machine.h could use
RESOLVE_CONFLICT_FIND_MAP macro to compute it, it doesn't make sense,
because with prelink we know it is already properly relocated (all relative
relocations are applied by prelink).
As reported in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/533063 , preadv/pwritev prototypes
are wrong on 32-bit arches with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and as I've just
found, fallocate is wrong too.
The problem is that only off_t is remapped to the 64-bit type transparently,
__off_t is not.
The nscd/*cache.c files contain assert()s, writeall() and sendfileall() calls
that invalidly use together &dataset->resp and total where either dataset or
dataset->head.recsize should be used instead one of the components. In the
writeall() and sendfileall() cases, it is unlikely to matter in practice, but
the assertions can fail sometimes without a proper reason.
The implementation of posix_openpt on Linux can fail in a few extra
ways if the appropriate pseudo filesystems are not mounted etc. In
some of these cases we have to explicitly set errno.
If a second call to ttyname is not for the same type of device (e.g.,
serial vs ptty) the prefix of the buffer was wrong. Don't rely on
the previous content, always reinitialize it.
The syscall conventions on some Linux archs prevented F_GETOWN from working
correctly in some situations. This can be rectified when using the new
F_GETOWN_EX command.
