the syscalls take an additional flag argument, they were added in commit
f17d8b35452cab31a70d224964cd583fb2845449 and a RWF_HIPRI priority hint
flag was added to linux/fs.h in 97be7ebe53915af504fb491fb99f064c7cf3cb09.

the syscall is not allocated for microblaze and sh yet.

it was introduced for offloading copying between regular files
in linux commit 29732938a6289a15e907da234d6692a2ead71855

(microblaze and sh does not yet have the syscall number.)

this is mlock with a flags argument, new in linux commit
a8ca5d0ecbdde5cc3d7accacbd69968b0c98764e

as usual microblaze and sh don't have allocated syscall number yet.

new in linux v4.3 added for aarch64, arm, i386, mips, or1k, powerpc,
x32 and x86_64.

membarrier is a system wide memory barrier, moves most of the
synchronization cost to one side, new in kernel commit
5b25b13ab08f616efd566347d809b4ece54570d1

userfaultfd is useful for qemu and is new in kernel commit
8d2afd96c20316d112e04d935d9e09150e988397

switch_endian is powerpc only for switching endianness, new in commit
529d235a0e190ded1d21ccc80a73e625ebcad09b

new in linux v4.3 commit 9dea5dc921b5f4045a18c63eb92e84dc274d17eb
direct calls instead of socketcall allow better seccomp filtering.

musl continues to use socketcalls internally on i386. (older kernels
would need a fallback mechanism if the direct calls were used.)

this syscall allows fexecve to be implemented without /proc, it is new
in linux v3.19, added in commit 51f39a1f0cea1cacf8c787f652f26dfee9611874
(sh and microblaze do not have allocated syscall numbers yet)

added a x32 fix as well: the io_setup and io_submit syscalls are no
longer common with x86_64, so use the x32 specific numbers.

these syscalls are new in linux v3.18, bpf is present on all
supported archs except sh, kexec_file_load is only allocted for
x86_64 and x32 yet.

bpf was added in linux commit 99c55f7d47c0dc6fc64729f37bf435abf43f4c60

kexec_file_load syscall number was allocated in commit
f0895685c7fd8c938c91a9d8a6f7c11f22df58d2

these syscalls are new in linux v3.17 and present on all supported
archs except sh.

seccomp was added in commit 48dc92b9fc3926844257316e75ba11eb5c742b2c
it has operation, flags and pointer arguments (if flags==0 then it is
the same as prctl(PR_SET_SECCOMP,...)), the uapi header for flag
definitions is linux/seccomp.h

getrandom was added in commit c6e9d6f38894798696f23c8084ca7edbf16ee895
it provides an entropy source when open("/dev/urandom",..) would fail,
the uapi header for flags is linux/random.h

memfd_create was added in commit 9183df25fe7b194563db3fec6dc3202a5855839c
it allows anon mmap to have an fd, that can be shared, sealed and needs no
mount point, the uapi header for flags is linux/memfd.h

it's like rename but with flags eg. to allow atomic exchange of two files,
introduced in linux 3.15 commit 520c8b16505236fc82daa352e6c5e73cd9870cff

linux 3.14 introduced sched_getattr and sched_setattr syscalls in
commit d50dde5a10f305253cbc3855307f608f8a3c5f73

and the related SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling policy in
commit aab03e05e8f7e26f51dee792beddcb5cca9215a5

but struct sched_attr "extended scheduling parameters data structure"
is not yet exported to userspace (necessary for using the syscalls)
so related uapi definitions are not added yet.

somehow the range 335-339 was missed when updating the file.

and remove syscall todos from microblaze

now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the
variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no
__syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall
renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h
with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the
amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum.

changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on
i386 and mips has already been performed.

based on patch by Justin Cormack

while musl itself requires a c99 compiler, some applications insist on
being compiled with c89 compilers, and use of "inline" in the headers
was breaking them. much of this had been avoided already by just
skipping the inline keyword in pre-c99 compilers or modes, but this
new unified solution is cleaner and may/should result in better code
generation in the default gcc configuration.

yet another gratuitous mips incompatibility...

patch submitted by Kristian L. <email@thexception.net>

when the "r" (register) constraint is used to let gcc choose a
register, gcc will sometimes assign the same register that was used
for one of the other fixed-register operands, if it knows the values
are the same. one common case is multiple zero arguments to a syscall.
this horribly breaks the intended usage, which is swapping the GOT
pointer from ebx into the temp register and back to perform the
syscall.

presumably there is a way to fix this with advanced usage of register
constaints on the inline asm, but having bad memories about hellish
compatibility issues with different gcc versions, for the time being
i'm just going to hard-code specific registers to be used. this may
hurt the compiler's ability to optimize, but it will fix serious
miscompilation issues.

so far the only function i know what compiled incorrectly is
getrlimit.c, and naturally the bug only applies to shared (PIC)
builds, but it may be more extensive and may have gone undetected..

the arm syscall abi requires 64-bit arguments to be aligned on an even
register boundary. these new macros facilitate meeting the abi
requirement without imposing significant ugliness on the code.

this patch improves the correctness, simplicity, and size of
cancellation-related code. modulo any small errors, it should now be
completely conformant, safe, and resource-leak free.

the notion of entering and exiting cancellation-point context has been
completely eliminated and replaced with alternative syscall assembly
code for cancellable syscalls. the assembly is responsible for setting
up execution context information (stack pointer and address of the
syscall instruction) which the cancellation signal handler can use to
determine whether the interrupted code was in a cancellable state.

these changes eliminate race conditions in the previous generation of
cancellation handling code (whereby a cancellation request received
just prior to the syscall would not be processed, leaving the syscall
to block, potentially indefinitely), and remedy an issue where
non-cancellable syscalls made from signal handlers became cancellable
if the signal handler interrupted a cancellation point.

x86_64 asm is untested and may need a second try to get it right.

this mainly just caused bloat, but could corrupt errno if a 0-arg
syscall ever failed.

with this patch, the syscallN() functions are no longer needed; a
variadic syscall() macro allows syscalls with anywhere from 0 to 6
arguments to be made with a single macro name. also, manually casting
each non-integer argument with (long) is no longer necessary; the
casts are hidden in the macros.

some source files which depended on being able to define the old macro
SYSCALL_RETURNS_ERRNO have been modified to directly use __syscall()
instead of syscall(). references to SYSCALL_SIGSET_SIZE and SYSCALL_LL
have also been changed.

x86_64 has not been tested, and may need a follow-up commit to fix any
minor bugs/oversights.

this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
__NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.

previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.

further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.

this was originally written for an early draft of the library where
non-standard functions would reside in a static library separate from
the shared libc.so, which would implement a pure standard. the idea
was not to depend on an implementation-dependent __syscall_ret
function in the main libc. but it turned out to be better to put
everything in a single library for both static and dynamic linking
uses, and thus the (incomplete) remnants of this feature were just
enlarging the source and binary.

- hide all the legacy xxxxxx32 name cruft in syscall.h so the actual
source files can be clean and uniform across all archs.

- cleanup llseek/lseek and mmap2/mmap handling for 32/64 bit systems

- alternate implementation for nice if the target lacks nice syscall
