[PATCH v2 0/2] ABI: handle 32-bit off_t for 32-bit and compat ABIs

Show all headers | View raw

32-bit off_t is supported only for old 32-bit and compat ABIs. New ABIs
are 64-bit length only. This patchset makes 64-bit length the default
for off_t, and reverts it for old architectures where needed. It does not
change the behaviour of existing code.

First patch makes all compat users of generic unistd.h to use non-compat
versions of openat and open_by_handle_at. Tile that requires old behaviour
is turned around.

Second patch introduces ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option, disabled by default,
but enables it explicitly for existing 32-bit architectures.

v2:
 - removed ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T for IA64, s390, as 32-bit kernels are not supported there.
 - patch 2: added Arnd's note,
 - patch 2: stylistic changes.

Yury Norov (2):
  ABI: compat: use non-compat openat and open_by_handle_at variants
  32-bit ABI: introduce ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option
