[PATCH] fstatat64 support

From: Ulrich Drepper
Date: Wed Feb 08 2006 - 15:06:47 EST


The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is
that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to
implement fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to
make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code.
On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.
this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well.


This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet
others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.
I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling
is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It
should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some
stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc
and run 'make check' (no installation needed).


The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.
