modern compilers (for gcc, versions 4.8 and later) automatically
pre-include <stdc-predef.h> to obtain the values of certain predefined
macros specified by ISO C but which reflect properties of the library
implementation, not just the compiler. provide values indicating that
wchar_t is Unicode-encoded and that Annex F (IEEE floating point) is
supported unless the compiler indicates otherwise.
based on patch by Masanori Ogino.
commit befa5866ee30d09c0c96e88af2eabff5911342ea performed this change
for struct definitions that did not also involve typedef, but omitted
the latter.
it was changed to EM_OR1K in 200d15479c0bc48471ee7b8e538ce33af990f82e
as that was meant to be the official name, but glibc and the latest
gabi spec still uses the EM_OPENRISC name:

binutils defines both macros so we should do the same for backward
compatibility.
placing the opening brace on the same line as the struct keyword/tag
is the style I prefer and seems to be the prevailing practice in more
recent additions.
these changes were generated by the command:
find include/ arch/*/bits -name '*.h' \
-exec sed -i '/^struct [^;{]*$/{N;s/\n/ /;}' {} +
and subsequently checked by hand to ensure that the regex did not pick
up any false positives.
the kernel ABI value for RUSAGE_CHILDREN is -1, not 1. the latter is
actually interpreted as RUSAGE_THREAD, to obtain values for just the
calling thread and not the whole process.
compilers are free not to copy, or in some cases to clobber, padding
bytes in a structure. while it's an aliasing violation, and thus
undefined behavior, to copy or manipulate other sockaddr types using
sockaddr_storage, it seems likely that traditional code attempts to do
so, and the original intent of the sockaddr_storage structure was
probably to allow such usage.
in the interest of avoiding silent and potentially dangerous breakage,
ensure that there are no actual padding bytes in sockaddr_storage by
moving and adjusting the size of the __ss_padding member so that it
fits exactly.
this change also removes a silent assumption that the alignment of
long is equal to its size.
kernel connection multiplexor macros AF_KCM, PF_KCM, SOL_KCM were
added in linux commit ab7ac4eb9832e32a09f4e8042705484d2fb0aad3

SOL_* macros are now synced with linux socket.h which is not a uapi

new socket option so application can give advice about routing
path quality of connected udp sockets, added in linux commit
a87cb3e48ee86d29868d3f59cfb9ce1a8fa63314
previously, the only way the stopping condition could be met with
correct lengths in the headers invoked undefined behavior, adding
sizeof(struct cmsghdr) beyond the end of the cmsg buffer.
instead, compute and compare sizes rather than pointers.
allows the os to free the marked pages lazily on memory pressure.
expected to increase malloc performance.

currently five targets use the same mman.h constants and the rest
share most constants too, so move them to sys/mman.h before the
bits/mman.h include where the differences can be corrected by
redefinition of the macros.
this fixes two minor bugs: POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED was wrong on most
targets (it should be the same as MADV_DONTNEED), and sh defined
the x86-only MAP_32BIT mmap flag.
some software simply uses static_assert if the macro is defined, and
this breaks if the compiler does not recognize the _Static_assert
keyword used to define it.
commit 378f8cb5222b63e4f8532c757ce54e4074567e1f added these functions
(as stubs) but left them without declarations. this broke some
autoconf based software that detected linkability of the symbols but
didn't check for a declaration.
si_errno and si_code are swapped in mips siginfo_t compared to other
archs and some si_code values are different. This fix is required
for POSIX timers to work.
based on patch by Dmitry Ivanov.
only have code above the bits/signal.h include that is necessary.
(some types are used for the ucontext struct and mips has to
override a few macro definitions)
this way mips bits/signal.h will be able to affect siginfo_t.
