[PATCH glibc] Linux: Include <linux/sockios.h> in <bits/socket.h> under __USE_MISC

From: Florian Weimer
Date: Mon Jul 22 2019 - 07:31:17 EST


Historically, <asm/socket.h> (which is included from <bits/socket.h>)
provided ioctl operations for sockets. User code accessed them
through <sys/socket.h>. The kernel UAPI headers have removed these
definitions in favor of <linux/sockios.h>. This commit makes them
available via <sys/socket.h> again.

I have tried to verify this against our 3.10 kernel headers and the 5.2
headers, and I do not see any failures in glibc itself (the latter with
build-many-glibcs.py). Impact on application code is unclear at this
point, of course.

This patch depends on the earlier Linux 5.2 compatibility patch which
introduced <bits/socket-constants.h>.
