[PATCH] uapi: fix asm/signal.h userspace compilation errors

[PATCH] uapi: fix asm/signal.h userspace compilation errors

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Include <stddef.h> (guarded by #ifndef __KERNEL__) to fix asm/signal.h
userspace compilation errors like this:

/usr/include/asm/signal.h:126:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
  size_t ss_size;

As no uapi header provides a definition of size_t, inclusion
of <stddef.h> seems to be the most conservative fix available.

On the kernel side size_t is typedef'ed to __kernel_size_t, so
an alternative fix would be to change the type of sigaltstack.ss_size
from size_t to __kernel_size_t for all architectures except those where
sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(__kernel_size_t), namely, x32 and mips n32.

On x32 and mips n32, however, #include <stddef.h> seems to be the most
straightforward way to obtain the definition for sigaltstack.ss_size's
type.

I'm not sure if this is the best fix. We generally should not include one
standard header from another standard header. Would it be possible
to use __kernel_size_t instead of size_t?

[PATCH v2] x86/uapi: fix asm/signal.h userspace compilation error

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Replace size_t to fix the following asm/signal.h userspace compilation
error:

/usr/include/asm/signal.h:126:2: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
  size_t ss_size;

size_t is replaced with __kernel_size_t in all cases except x32 where
unsigned int has to be used instead.

Sounds like we still ought to make this a type by itself.

A new type would need a name, like __kernel_uapi_size_t.
Do you have any preferences?

In glibc we handle this with special use of __need_size_t with GCC's
provided stddef.h.

For example glibc's signal.h does this:

# define __need_size_t
# include <stddef.h>

And...

/* Any one of these symbols __need_* means that GNU libc
   wants us just to define one data type.  So don't define
   the symbols that indicate this file's entire job has been done.  */
#if (!defined(__need_wchar_t) && !defined(__need_size_t)        \
     && !defined(__need_ptrdiff_t) && !defined(__need_NULL)     \
     && !defined(__need_wint_t))

The idea being that the type you want is really defined by stddef.h,
but you just one the one type.

Changing the fundamental type causes the issues you see in patch v2
where sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(__kernel_size_t).

It will only lead to problem substituting the wrong type.

Cheers,
Carlos.

Just to make it clear, do you suggest this approach for asm/signal.h as well?

I don't see any appetite for creating more ABIs like x32 with
sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(__kernel_size_t), so v2 approach
is not going to be any different from v1 in maintenance.

[PATCH 1/2] uapi: introduce __kernel_uapi_size_t

[Dmitry V. Levin]

__kernel_uapi_size_t is a pure UAPI type, in defined(__KERNEL__) code
it's always the same as __kernel_size_t.

It's also the same as __kernel_size_t on all architectures except x32
where sizeof(size_t) < sizeof(__kernel_size_t).

__kernel_uapi_size_t can be used as a size_t replacement in UAPI
headers, e.g. in cases when size_t might differ from __kernel_size_t.

The kernel is duplicating userspace headers in the UAPI implementation
and running into exactly the same problems we have already solved in
userspace. We currently have no better solution than the "__need_*"
interface for avoiding the duplication of the type definitions and the
problems that come with that.

I am taking this up with senior glibc developers on libc-alpha to see
if we have a better suggestion. If you give me 72 hours I'll either
have a better suggestion or the acknowledgement that my suggestion is
the best practical solution we have.

Note that in a GNU userspace stddef.h here comes from gcc, which
completes the implementation of the C development environment that
provides the types you need. The use of "__need_size_t" is a collusion
between the components of the implementation and use by the Linux
kernel would mean expecting something specific to a GNU
implementation.

I might suggest you use include/uapi/linux/libc-compat.h in an attempt
to abstract away the GNU-specific magic for getting just size_t from
stddef.h. That way you have documented the places that other runtime
authors need to fill out for things to work.

Cheers,
Carlos.

The best practice from the glibc community looks like this:

(a) Create a bits/types/*.h header for the type you need.

e.g.
./time/bits/types/struct_timeval.h
./time/bits/types/struct_itimerspec.h
./time/bits/types/time_t.h
./time/bits/types/struct_timespec.h
./time/bits/types/struct_tm.h
./time/bits/types/clockid_t.h
./time/bits/types/clock_t.h
./time/bits/types/timer_t.h

(b) If neccessary the bits/types/*.h header is a wrapper:
~~~
#define __need_size_t
#include <stddef.h>
~~~
to get access to the compiler provided type.

This way all of the code you need simplifies to includes for the types you need.

e.g.

time/sys/time.h:
...
#include <bits/types.h>
#include <bits/types/time_t.h>
#include <bits/types/struct_timeval.h>
...

This is what we've been doing in glibc starting last September as we
cleaned up all the convoluted conditional logic to get the types we
needed in the headers that needed them.

Cheers,
Carlos.

[PATCH v3] uapi: fix asm/signal.h userspace compilation errors

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Userspace cannot compile <asm/signal.h> due to missing type definitions.
For example, compiling it for x86_64 fails with the following diagnostics
when the exception for asm/signal.h is removed from usr/include/Makefile:

$ make usr CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL=y CONFIG_UAPI_HEADER_TEST=y
...
  HDRTEST usr/include/asm/signal.h
In file included from <command-line>:
./usr/include/asm/signal.h:103:9: error: unknown type name 'size_t'
  103 |         size_t ss_size;
      |         ^~~~~~

Replace size_t with __kernel_size_t to make asm/signal.h self-contained,
also add it to the compile-test coverage.

This was submitted almost 5 years ago, so I was under impression that
it was applied among others of this kind, but, apparently, it's still
relevant.
