tools/nolibc/select: avoid libgcc 64-bit multiplications

2026-01-04T09:29:02+00:00

timeval::tv_usec is going to be 64-bit wide even on 32-bit architectures. As not all architectures support 64-bit multiplications instructions, calls to libgcc (__multi3()) may be emitted by the compiler which are not provided by nolibc. As tv_usec and tv_nsec are guaranteed to always fit into an uint32_t, perform a 32-bit multiplication instead.

tools/nolibc: prefer explicit 64-bit time-related system calls

2026-01-04T09:29:00+00:00

Make sure to always use the 64-bit safe system calls in preparation for 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures. Also prevent issues on kernels which disable CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME and therefore don't provide the 32-bit system calls anymore.

tools/nolibc/select: drop non-pselect based implementations

2026-01-04T09:28:58+00:00

These implementations use the libc 'struct timeval' with system calls which can lead to type mismatches. Currently this is fine, but will break with upcoming changes to 'struct timeval'. If the structure needs to be converted anyways, the implementations based on pselect can be used for all architectures. This simplifies the logic.

tools/nolibc/poll: use kernel types for system call invocations

2026-01-04T09:28:57+00:00

The system calls expect 'struct __kernel_old_timespec'. While currently 'struct __kernel_old_timespec' and 'struct timespec' are compatible, this is confusing. Especially as future patches will change the definition of 'struct timespec'. Use the correct kernel type instead.

tools/nolibc: provide the portable sys/select.h

2025-11-02T12:36:19+00:00

Modern programs tend to include sys/select.h to get FD_SET() and FD_CLR() definitions as well as struct fd_set, but in our case it didn't exist. The definitions were moved from types.h to sys/select.h, which is now included from nolibc.h, and the sys_select() definition moved there as well from sys.h.
