H.J. Lu 7378e9c520 x32: Properly pass long to syscall [BZ #25810]
X32 has 32-bit long and pointer with 64-bit off_t.  Since x32 psABI
requires that pointers passed in registers must be zero-extended to
64bit, x32 can share many syscall interfaces with LP64.  When a LP64
syscall with long and unsigned long arguments is used for x32, these
arguments must be properly extended to 64-bit.  Otherwise if the upper
32 bits of the register have undefined value, such a syscall will be
rejected by kernel.

Enforce zero-extension for pointers and array system call arguments.
For integer types, extend to int64_t (the full register) using a
regular cast, resulting in zero or sign extension based on the
signedness of the original type.

For

       void *mmap(void *addr, size_t length, int prot, int flags,
                  int fd, off_t offset);

we now generate

   0:	41 f7 c1 ff 0f 00 00 	test   $0xfff,%r9d
   7:	75 1f                	jne    28 <__mmap64+0x28>
   9:	48 63 d2             	movslq %edx,%rdx
   c:	89 f6                	mov    %esi,%esi
   e:	4d 63 c0             	movslq %r8d,%r8
  11:	4c 63 d1             	movslq %ecx,%r10
  14:	b8 09 00 00 40       	mov    $0x40000009,%eax
  19:	0f 05                	syscall

That is

1. addr is unchanged.
2. length is zero-extend to 64 bits.
3. prot is sign-extend to 64 bits.
4. flags is sign-extend to 64 bits.
5. fd is sign-extend to 64 bits.
6. offset is unchanged.

For int arguments, since kernel uses only the lower 32 bits and ignores
the upper 32 bits in 64-bit registers, these work correctly.

Tested on x86-64 and x32.  There are no code changes on x86-64.

README

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2
	hppa-*-linux-gnu
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	riscv64-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
