It has been added on Linux 6.10 (8be7258aad44b5e25977a98db136f677fa6f4370)
as a way to block operations such as mapping, moving to another location,
shrinking the size, expanding the size, or modifying it to a pre-existing
memory mapping.
Although the system only works on 64-bit CPUs, the entrypoint was added
for all ABIs (since the kernel might eventually implement it for additional
ones and/or the ABI can execute on a 64-bit kernel).

Given how simple this operation is, it would make sense for compilers

Add an explicitly numeric interface for baudrate setting. For glibc,
this only announces what is a fair accompli, but this is a plausible
way forward for standardization, and may be possible to infill on
non-compliant systems. The POSIX committee has stated:
[https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1916#c7135]
A future version of this standard is expected to add at least
the following symbolic constants for use as values of objects
of type speed_t: B57600, B115200, B230400, B460800, and
B921600.
Implementations are encouraged to propose additional
interfaces which will make it possible to set and query a
wider range of speeds than just those enumerated by the
constants beginning with B. If a set of common interfaces
emerges between several implementations, a future version of
this standard will likely add those interfaces.
This is exactly that interface.
The use of the term "baud" is due to the need to have a term
contrasting "speed", and it is already well established as a legacy
term -- including in the names of the legacy Bxxx
constants. Futhermore, it *is* valid from the point of view that the
termios interface fundamentally emulates an RS-232 serial port as far
as the application software is concerned.
The documentation states that for the current version of glibc,
speed_t == baud_t, but explicitly declares that this may not be the
case in the future.

Linux has supported arbitrary speeds and split speeds in the kernel
since 2008 on all platforms except Alpha (fixed in 2020), but glibc
was never updated to match. This is further complicated by POSIX uses
of macros for the cf[gs]et[io]speed interfaces, rather than plain
numbers, as it really ought to have.
On most platforms, the glibc ABI includes the c_[io]speed fields in
struct termios, but they are incorrectly used. On MIPS and SPARC, they
are entirely missing.
For backwards compatibility, the kernel will still use the legacy
speed fields unless they are set to BOTHER, and will use the legacy
output speed as the input speed if the latter is 0 (== B0). However,
the specific encoding used is visible to user space applications,
including ones other than the one running.
- SPARC and MIPS get a new struct termios, and tc[gs]etattr() is
versioned accordingly. However, the new struct termios is set to be
a strict extension of the old one, which means that cf* interfaces
other than the speed-related ones do not need versioning.
- The Bxxx constants are redefined as equivalent to their integer
values and the legacy Bxxx constants are renamed __Bxxx.
- cf[gs]et[io]speed() and cfsetspeed() are versioned accordingly.
- tcgetattr() and cfset[io]speed() are adjusted to always keep the
c_[io]speed fields correct (unlike earlier versions), but to
canonicalize the representation to ALSO configure the legacy fields
if a valid legacy representation exists.
- tcsetattr(), too, canonicalizes the representation in this way
before passing it to the kernel, to maximize compatibility with
older applications/tools.
- The old IBAUD0 hack is removed; it is no longer necessary since
even the legacy c_cflag baud rate fields have had separate input
values for a long time.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the pown functions, which are like pow but with an

intmax_t in TS 18661-4, and as with other interfaces changed after

the subset of test inputs for pow that use integer exponents that fit
in long long.
As the first such template implementation that saves and restores the
rounding mode internally (to avoid possible issues with directed
rounding and intermediate overflows or underflows in the wrong
rounding mode), support also needed to be added for using
SET_RESTORE_ROUND* in such template function implementations. This
required math-type-macros-float128.h to include <fenv_private.h>, so
it can tell whether SET_RESTORE_ROUNDF128 is defined. In turn, the
include order with <fenv_private.h> included before <math_private.h>
broke loongarch builds, showing up that
sysdeps/loongarch/math_private.h is really a fenv_private.h file
(maybe implemented internally before the consistent split of those
headers in 2018?) and needed to be renamed to fenv_private.h to avoid
errors with duplicate macro definitions if <math_private.h> is
included after <fenv_private.h>.
The underlying implementation uses __ieee754_pow functions (called
more than once in some cases, where the exponent does not fit in the
floating type). I expect a custom implementation for a given format,
that only handles integer exponents but handles larger exponents
directly, could be faster and more accurate in some cases.

C23 adds various <math.h> function families originally defined in TS
18661-4. Add the powr functions, which are like pow, but with simpler
handling of special cases (based on exp(y*log(x)), so negative x and
0^0 are domain errors, powers of -0 are always +0 or +Inf never -0 or
-Inf, and 1^+-Inf and Inf^0 are also domain errors, while NaN^0 and
1^NaN are NaN). The test inputs are taken from those for pow, with
appropriate adjustments (including removing all tests that would be
domain errors from those in auto-libm-test-in and adding some more
such tests in libm-test-powr.inc).
The underlying implementation uses __ieee754_pow functions after
dealing with all special cases that need to be handled differently.
It might be a little faster (avoiding a wrapper and redundant checks
for special cases) to have an underlying implementation built
separately for both pow and powr with compile-time conditionals for
special-case handling, but I expect the benefit of that would be
limited given that both functions will end up needing to use the same
logic for computing pow outside of special cases.
My understanding is that powr(negative, qNaN) should raise "invalid":
that the rule on "invalid" for an argument outside the domain of the
function takes precedence over a quiet NaN argument producing a quiet
NaN result with no exceptions raised (for rootn it's explicit that the
0th root of qNaN raises "invalid"). I've raised this on the WG14
reflector to confirm the intent.

The commit 'sparc: Use Linux kABI for syscall return'
(86c5d2cf0c) did not take into account
a subtle sparc syscall kABI constraint. For syscalls that might block
indefinitely, on an interrupt (like SIGCONT) the kernel will set the
instruction pointer to just before the syscall:
arch/sparc/kernel/signal_64.c
476 static void do_signal(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long orig_i0)
477 {
[...]
525 if (restart_syscall) {
526 switch (regs->u_regs[UREG_I0]) {
527 case ERESTARTNOHAND:
528 case ERESTARTSYS:
529 case ERESTARTNOINTR:
530 /* replay the system call when we are done */
531 regs->u_regs[UREG_I0] = orig_i0;
532 regs->tpc -= 4;
533 regs->tnpc -= 4;
534 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs);
535 fallthrough;
536 case ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK:
537 regs->u_regs[UREG_G1] = __NR_restart_syscall;
538 regs->tpc -= 4;
539 regs->tnpc -= 4;
540 pt_regs_clear_syscall(regs);
541 }
However, on a SIGCONT it seems that 'g1' register is being clobbered after the
syscall returns. Before 86c5d2cf0c, the 'g1' was always placed jus
before the 'ta' instruction which then reloads the syscall number and restarts
the syscall.
On master, where 'g1' might be placed before 'ta':
$ cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main ()
{
pause ();
}
$ gcc test.c -o test
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0
On another terminal
$ kill -STOP 2262828
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
--- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
--- stopped by SIGSTOP ---
And then
$ kill -CONT 2262828
Results in:
--- SIGCONT {si_signo=SIGCONT, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted ppoll ...>) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
Where the expected behaviour would be:
$ strace -f ./t
[...]
ppoll(NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, 0) = ? ERESTARTNOHAND (To be restarted if no handler)
--- SIGSTOP {si_signo=SIGSTOP, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=2521813, si_uid=8289} ---

Just moving the 'g1' setting near the syscall asm is not suffice,

And struct sched_attr.
In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h, the hack that defines
sched_param around the inclusion of <linux/sched/types.h> is quite
ugly, but the definition of struct sched_param has already been
dropped by the kernel, so there is nothing else we can do and maintain
compatibility of <sched.h> with a wide range of kernel header
versions. (An alternative would involve introducing a separate header
for this functionality, but this seems unnecessary.)
The existing sched_* functions that change scheduler parameters
are already incompatible with PTHREAD_PRIO_PROTECT mutexes, so
there is no harm in adding more functionality in this area.

The current racy approach is to enable asynchronous cancellation
before making the syscall and restore the previous cancellation
type once the syscall returns, and check if cancellation has happen
during the cancellation entrypoint.
As described in BZ#12683, this approach shows 2 problems:
1. Cancellation can act after the syscall has returned from the
kernel, but before userspace saves the return value. It might
result in a resource leak if the syscall allocated a resource or a
side effect (partial read/write), and there is no way to program
handle it with cancellation handlers.
2. If a signal is handled while the thread is blocked at a cancellable
syscall, the entire signal handler runs with asynchronous
cancellation enabled. This can lead to issues if the signal
handler call functions which are async-signal-safe but not
async-cancel-safe.
For the cancellation to work correctly, there are 5 points at which the
cancellation signal could arrive:
[ ... )[ ... )[ syscall ]( ...
1 2 3 4 5
1. Before initial testcancel, e.g. [*... testcancel)
2. Between testcancel and syscall start, e.g. [testcancel...syscall start)
3. While syscall is blocked and no side effects have yet taken
place, e.g. [ syscall ]
4. Same as 3 but with side-effects having occurred (e.g. a partial
read or write).
5. After syscall end e.g. (syscall end...*]
And libc wants to act on cancellation in cases 1, 2, and 3 but not
in cases 4 or 5. For the 4 and 5 cases, the cancellation will eventually
happen in the next cancellable entrypoint without any further external
event.
The proposed solution for each case is:
1. Do a conditional branch based on whether the thread has received
a cancellation request;
2. It can be caught by the signal handler determining that the saved
program counter (from the ucontext_t) is in some address range
beginning just before the "testcancel" and ending with the
syscall instruction.
3. SIGCANCEL can be caught by the signal handler and determine that
the saved program counter (from the ucontext_t) is in the address
range beginning just before "testcancel" and ending with the first
uninterruptable (via a signal) syscall instruction that enters the
kernel.
4. In this case, except for certain syscalls that ALWAYS fail with
EINTR even for non-interrupting signals, the kernel will reset
the program counter to point at the syscall instruction during
signal handling, so that the syscall is restarted when the signal
handler returns. So, from the signal handler's standpoint, this
looks the same as case 2, and thus it's taken care of.
5. For syscalls with side-effects, the kernel cannot restart the
syscall; when it's interrupted by a signal, the kernel must cause
the syscall to return with whatever partial result is obtained
(e.g. partial read or write).
6. The saved program counter points just after the syscall
instruction, so the signal handler won't act on cancellation.
This is similar to 4. since the program counter is past the syscall
instruction.
So The proposed fixes are:
1. Remove the enable_asynccancel/disable_asynccancel function usage in
cancellable syscall definition and instead make them call a common
symbol that will check if cancellation is enabled (__syscall_cancel
at nptl/cancellation.c), call the arch-specific cancellable
entry-point (__syscall_cancel_arch), and cancel the thread when
required.
2. Provide an arch-specific generic system call wrapper function
that contains global markers. These markers will be used in
SIGCANCEL signal handler to check if the interruption has been
called in a valid syscall and if the syscalls has side-effects.
A reference implementation sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscall_cancel.c
is provided. However, the markers may not be set on correct
expected places depending on how INTERNAL_SYSCALL_NCS is
implemented by the architecture. It is expected that all
architectures add an arch-specific implementation.
3. Rewrite SIGCANCEL asynchronous handler to check for both canceling
type and if current IP from signal handler falls between the global
markers and act accordingly.
4. Adjust libc code to replace LIBC_CANCEL_ASYNC/LIBC_CANCEL_RESET to
use the appropriate cancelable syscalls.
5. Adjust 'lowlevellock-futex.h' arch-specific implementations to
provide cancelable futex calls.
Some architectures require specific support on syscall handling:
* On i386 the syscall cancel bridge needs to use the old int80
instruction because the optimized vDSO symbol the resulting PC value
for an interrupted syscall points to an address outside the expected
markers in __syscall_cancel_arch. It has been discussed in LKML [1]
on how kernel could help userland to accomplish it, but afaik
discussion has stalled.
Also, sysenter should not be used directly by libc since its calling
convention is set by the kernel depending of the underlying x86 chip
(check kernel commit 30bfa7b3488bfb1bb75c9f50a5fcac1832970c60).
* mips o32 is the only kABI that requires 7 argument syscall, and to
avoid add a requirement on all architectures to support it, mips
support is added with extra internal defines.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and
x86_64-linux-gnu.

Linux 6.10 changes for syscall are:
* mseal for all architectures.
* map_shadow_stack for x32.
* Replace sync_file_range with sync_file_range2 for csky (which
fixes a broken sync_file_range usage).
Update syscall-names.list and regenerate the arch-syscall.h headers
with build-many-glibcs.py update-syscalls.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py.
