As per recent discussions, this patch unifies some of the sys/procfs.h headers for architectures using the Linux kernel, producing a generic version that can hopefully be used by all new architectures as well. The new generic version is based on the AArch64 one. The register definitions, the only part that generally needs to vary by architecture, go in a new bits/procfs.h header (which each architecture using the generic version needs to provide); that header also has any #includes that were in the architecture-specific sys/procfs.h, where those includes went beyond the generic set. The generic version is used for eight architectures where the generic definitions were the same as the architecture-specific ones. (Some of those architectures had #if 0 fields, now removed; some defined types or fields using different type names which were typedefs for the same underlying types.) Six of the remaining architectures with their own sys/procfs.h use unsigned short for pr_uid / pr_gid in some cases; moving those to the generic header will require a bits/ header to define a typedef for the type of those fields. In the case of alpha, the generic sys/procfs.h uses elf_gregset_t (= unsigned long int[33]) to define prgregset_t and elf_fpregset_t (= double[32]) to define prfpregset_t, but the alpha version uses gregset_t (= long int[33]) and fpregset_t (= long int[32]), so avoiding unnecessarily changing the underlying types (and thus C++ name mangling) again means a bits/ header will need to be able to define a different choice for those typedefs. bits/procfs.h is included outside the __BEGIN_DECLS / __END_DECLS pair (whereas the definitions it contains were previously inside that pair in various sys/procfs.h headers), because it sometimes includes other headers and putting those other #includes inside that pair seems risky. Because none of the declarations in bits/procfs.h are of functions or variables or involve function types, I don't think it makes any difference whether they are inside or outside an extern "C" context. Tested with build-many-glibcs.py (again, that does not provide much validation for the correctness of this patch). * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/procfs.h: Replace with file based on AArch64 version.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 ia64-*-linux-gnu m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
