2014-04-04xattr: guard against simultaneous glibc header inclusionSerge Hallyn1-0/+9
If the glibc xattr.h header is included after the uapi header, compilation fails due to an enum re-using a #define from the uapi header. Protect against this by guarding the define and enum inclusions against each other. (See https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2014/03/msg00029.html and https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Synchronizing_Headers for more information.)

2013-09-04net: sync some IP headers with glibcCarlos O'Donell1-0/+103
Solution: ========= - Synchronize linux's `include/uapi/linux/in6.h' with glibc's `inet/netinet/in.h'. - Synchronize glibc's `inet/netinet/in.h with linux's `include/uapi/linux/in6.h'. - Allow including the headers in either other. - First header included defines the structures and macros. Details: ======== The kernel promises not to break the UAPI ABI so I don't see why we can't just have the two userspace headers coordinate? If you include the kernel headers first you get those, and if you include the glibc headers first you get those, and the following patch arranges a coordination and synchronization between the two. Let's handle `include/uapi/linux/in6.h' from linux, and `inet/netinet/in.h' from glibc and ensure they compile in any order and preserve the required ABI. These two patches pass the following compile tests: cat >> test1.c <<EOF int main (void) { return 0; } EOF gcc -c test1.c cat >> test2.c <<EOF int main (void) { return 0; } EOF gcc -c test2.c One wrinkle is that the kernel has a different name for one of the members in ipv6_mreq. In the kernel patch we create a macro to cover the uses of the old name, and while that's not entirely clean it's one of the best solutions (aside from an anonymous union which has other issues). I've reviewed the code and it looks to me like the ABI is assured and everything matches on both sides. Notes: - You want netinet/in.h to include bits/in.h as early as possible, but it needs in_addr so define in_addr early. - You want bits/in.h included as early as possible so you can use the linux specific code to define __USE_KERNEL_DEFS based on the _UAPI_* macro definition and use those to cull in.h. - glibc was missing IPPROTO_MH, added here. Compile tested and inspected.
