Commit Message

Aurelien Jarno Sept. 10, 2019, 10:53 a.m. UTC
On alpha, Linux kernel 5.1 added the standard getegid, geteuid and
getppid syscalls (commit ecf7e0a4ad15287). Up to now alpha was using
the corresponding OSF1 syscalls through:
 - sysdeps/unix/alpha/getegid.S
 - sysdeps/unix/alpha/geteuid.S
 - sysdeps/unix/alpha/getppid.S

When building against kernel headers >= 5.1, the glibc now use the new
syscalls through sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list. When it is then
used with an older kernel, the corresponding 3 functions fail.

A quick fix is to move the OSF1 wrappers under the
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha directory so they override the standard
linux ones. A better fix would be to try the new syscalls and fallback
to the old OSF1 in case the new ones fail. This can be implemented in
a later commit.

Looks reasonable to me.

Thanks,

The other alternative instead of moving the files is to add those files
with a simple #include <sysdeps/unix/alpha/getXXXX.S>. It's the strategy
chosen for pipe.S for example.

What are the odds that a hypothetical future port to Alpha with a
non-Linux kernel would want to use these files, though?  If they're
not likely to be wanted, moving the files is simpler.

There is already little interest for the Linux kernel port, so I really
doubt a non-Linux kernel port will happen. I have therefore committed
the patch.
