наб 7291c6c66a statvfs: allocate spare for f_type
This is the only missing part in struct statvfs. The LSB calls
[f]statfs() deprecated, and its weird types are definitely
off-putting. However, its use is required to get f_type.

Instead, allocate one of the six spares to f_type, copied directly
from struct statfs. This then becomes a small extension to the
standard interface on Linux, instead of two different interfaces, one
of which is quite odd due to being an ABI type, and there no longer is
any reason to use statfs().

The underlying kernel type is a mess, but all architectures agree on u32
(or more) for the ABI, and all filesystem magicks are 32-bit integers.

Since commit 6567db65f4 (prior to
1.0.0), the spare slots have been zero-filled, so on all versions that
may be reasonably be encountered in the wild, applications can rely on
a nonzero f_type as indication that the new field has been filled in.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
