tools/nolibc/stdio: let perror work when NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO is set

2026-01-11T14:18:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit c485ca3aff2442adea4c08ceb5183e671ebed22a ] There is no errno variable when NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO is defined. As such, simply print the message with "unknown error" rather than the integer value of errno.

tools/nolibc: make time_t robust if __kernel_old_time_t is missing in host headers

2025-10-15T09:56:29+00:00

[ Upstream commit 0ff52df6b32a6b04a7c9dfe3d7a387aff215b482 ] Commit d5094bcb5bfd ("tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of __kernel_old_time_t") made nolibc use the kernel's time type so that `time_t` matches `timespec::tv_sec` on all ABIs (notably x32). But since __kernel_old_time_t is fairly new, notably from 2020 in commit 94c467ddb273 ("y2038: add __kernel_old_timespec and __kernel_old_time_t"), nolibc builds that rely on host headers may fail. Switch to __kernel_time_t, which is the same as __kernel_old_time_t and has existed for longer.

tools/nolibc: fix spelling of FD_SETBITMASK in FD_* macros

2025-08-28T14:26:04+00:00

commit a477629baa2a0e9991f640af418e8c973a1c08e3 upstream. While nolibc-test does test syscalls, it doesn't test as much the rest of the macros, and a wrong spelling of FD_SETBITMASK in commit feaf75658783a broke programs using either FD_SET() or FD_CLR() without being noticed. Let's fix these macros. Fixes: feaf75658783a ("nolibc: fix fd_set type") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.2+ Acked-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Willy Tarreau Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

tools/nolibc: define time_t in terms of __kernel_old_time_t

2025-08-28T14:25:53+00:00

[ Upstream commit d5094bcb5bfdfea2cf0de8aaf77cc65db56cbdb5 ] Nolibc assumes that the kernel ABI is using a time values that are as large as a long integer. For most ABIs this holds true. But for x32 this is not correct, as it uses 32bit longs but 64bit times. Also the 'struct stat' implementation of nolibc relies on timespec::tv_sec and time_t being the same type. While timespec::tv_sec comes from the kernel and is of type __kernel_old_time_t, time_t is defined within nolibc. Switch to the __kernel_old_time_t to always get the correct type.

tools/nolibc/stdlib: fix memory error in realloc()

tools/nolibc: prevent gcc from making memset() loop over itself

2023-02-01T07:34:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1bfbe1f3e96720daf185f03d101f072d69753f88 ] When building on ARM in thumb mode with gcc-11.3 at -O2 or -O3, nolibc-test segfaults during the select() tests. It turns out that at this level, gcc recognizes an opportunity for using memset() to zero the fd_set, but it miscompiles it because it also recognizes a memset pattern as well, and decides to call memset() from the memset() code: 000122bc : 122bc: b510 push {r4, lr} 122be: 0004 movs r4, r0 122c0: 2a00 cmp r2, #0 122c2: d003 beq.n 122cc 122c4: 23ff movs r3, #255 ; 0xff 122c6: 4019 ands r1, r3 122c8: f7ff fff8 bl 122bc 122cc: 0020 movs r0, r4 122ce: bd10 pop {r4, pc} Simply placing an empty asm() statement inside the loop suffices to avoid this.

tools/nolibc: fix missing includes causing build issues at -O0

2023-02-01T07:34:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 55abdd1f5e1e07418bf4a46c233a92f83cb5ae97 ] After the nolibc includes were split to facilitate portability from standard libcs, programs that include only what they need may miss some symbols which are needed by libgcc. This is the case for raise() which is needed by the divide by zero code in some architectures for example. Regardless, being able to include only the apparently needed files is convenient. Instead of trying to move all exported definitions to a single file, since this can change over time, this patch takes another approach consisting in including the nolibc header at the end of all standard include files. This way their types and functions are already known at the moment of inclusion, and including any single one of them is sufficient to bring all the required ones.

tools/nolibc: Fix S_ISxxx macros

2023-02-01T07:34:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 16f5cea74179b5795af7ce359971f5128d10f80e ] The mode field has the type encoded as an value in a field, not as a bit mask. Mask the mode with S_IFMT instead of each type to test. Otherwise, false positives are possible: eg S_ISDIR will return true for block devices because S_IFDIR = 0040000 and S_IFBLK = 0060000 since mode is masked with S_IFDIR instead of S_IFMT.
