The syscall wrappers mechanism automatically creates hidden aliases
for syscalls with libc_hidden_def / libc_hidden_weak. The use of
libc_hidden_* has the side-effect that for syscall wrappers in
non-libc libraries those aliases are not created. In turn, this means
that three mq_* syscalls in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list list
the __GI_* names explicitly.
The use of libc_hidden_* dates back to the original introduction of
that support in

* sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh: Generate libc_hidden_def or
libc_hidden_weak for every system call symbol defined.
(predating the non-libc syscalls in question) and I see no reason for
excluding non-libc syscalls. This patch changes the code to use
hidden_def / hidden_weak (via a wrapper syscall_hidden_def in the case
where the argument is itself a macro, so that the argument gets
expanded before concatenation with __GI_), so avoiding the need to
specify the hidden aliases explicitly in this case.
Tested for x86_64 and x86 (testsuite, and that disassembly of
installed stripped shared libraries is unchanged by the patch; the
mq_* symbols change from weak to strong, which is of no significance
and two of them will shortly change back to weak as part of a fix for
bug 18545).
* sysdeps/unix/make-syscalls.sh (emit_weak_aliases): Use
hidden_def and hidden_weak instead of libc_hidden_def and
libc_hidden_weak.
(top level): Refer to hidden_def in comment.
* sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S (syscall_hidden_def): New
macro. Use it instead of libc_hidden_def.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list (mq_timedsend): Do not
specify __GI_* name explicitly.
(mq_timedreceive): Likewise.
(mq_setattr): Likewise.
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. The current GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be incorporated into an official GNU C Library release. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 2.6.32 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 Not currently functional without patches. 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 sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu tilegx-*-linux-gnu tilepro-*-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.
