This patch consolidates the open Linux syscall implementation on sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/open{64}.c. The changes are: 1. Remove open{64} from auto-generation syscalls.list. 2. Add a new open{64}.c implementation. For architectures that define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T the default open64 will create alias to required open symbols. 3. Use __NR_openat as default syscall for open{64}. Checked on i686-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnux32, arch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, and powerpc64le-linux-gnu. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/open.c: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/open64.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/open64.c: Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/open.c: New file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/open64.c (__libc_open64): Use O_LARGEFILE only for __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T and add alias to open if the case. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/wordsize-64/syscalls.list: Remove open from auto-generated list.
This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls. For example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD. This hierarchy provides all those implementations. It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided. Note that newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
