As for sysctl, ustat has been deprecated in favor of {f}statfs. Also
some newer ports which uses generic interface builds a stub version that
returns ENOSYS.
This patch deprecates ustat interface by removing ustat.h related headers,
adding a compatibility symbol, and avoiding new ports to build and provide
the symbol.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. Also checked with a
check-abi on all affected ABIs.
* NEWS: Add ustat.h deprecation entry.
* bits/ustat.h: Remove file.
* misc/sys/ustat.h: Likewise.
* misc/ustat.h: Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/ustat.c: Likewise.
* misc/Makefile (headers): Remove ustat.h and sys/ustat.h.
* misc/ustat.c (__ustat): Rename to __old_ustat and export only in
compatibility mode.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ustat.c (__ustat): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/ustat.c: Define DEV_TO_KDEV and use
generic Linux implementation.
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.
