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

2025-12-18T12:54:50+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

2025-10-15T10:00:02+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

2025-08-20T16:30:56+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

2025-08-20T16:30:23+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: s390: include std.h

2024-12-05T13:02:46+00:00

commit 711b5875814b2a0e9a5aaf7a85ba7c80f5a389b1 upstream. arch-s390.h uses types from std.h, but does not include it. Depending on the inclusion order the compilation can fail. Include std.h explicitly to avoid these errors.

tools/nolibc: stackprotector: mark implicitly used symbols as used

2024-08-16T15:23:13+00:00

During LTO the references from the compiler-generated prologue and epilogues to the stack protector symbols are not visible and the symbols are removed. This will then lead to errors during linking. As those symbols are already #ifdeffed-out if unused mark them as "used" to prevent their removal.

tools/nolibc: compiler: use attribute((naked)) if available

2024-08-12T20:22:03+00:00

The current entrypoint attributes optimize("Os", "omit-frame-pointer") are intended to avoid all compiler generated code, like function porologue and epilogue. This is the exact usecase implemented by the attribute "naked". Unfortunately this is not implemented by GCC for all targets, so only use it where available. This also provides compatibility with clang, which recognizes the "naked" attribute but not the previously used attribute "optimized".

tools/nolibc: move entrypoint specifics to compiler.h

2024-08-12T20:21:00+00:00

The specific attributes for the _start entrypoint are duplicated for each architecture. Deduplicate it into a dedicated #define into compiler.h. For clang compatibility, the epilogue will also need to be adapted, so move that one, too.
