The common definitions are moved to a Linux generic stat.h while the struct stat{64} definition are moved to a arch-specific struct_stat.h header. Checked with a build for all affected ABIs. I also checked on x86_64, i686, powerpc, powerpc64le, sparcv9, sparc64, s390, and s390x. Reviewed-by: Lukasz Majewski <lukma@denx.de>
This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls. For example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD. This hierarchy provides all those implementations. It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided. Note that newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
