6285f0881ec68034399d13552f7243e69e6e37bf - tools/nolibc: rename sys_foo() functions to _sys_foo()

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 17:20:17 +0100

tools/nolibc: rename sys_foo() functions to _sys_foo()The sys_foo() naming scheme used by the syscall wrappers may collidewith application symbols. Especially as 'sys_' is an obvious namingscheme an application may choose for its own custom systemcall wrappers.Avoid these conflicts by using an leading underscore which moves thenames into the implementation's namespace. This naming scheme was chosenover a '__nolibc_' prefix, as these functions are not an implementationdetail but a documented interface meant to be used by applications.While this may break some existing users, adapting them should bestraightforward. Given that nolibc is most-likely vendored, nounexpected breakage should happen. No in-tree users are affected.These conflicts happen when compiling some of the kernel selftestswith nolibc.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Acked-by: Willy Tarreau Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260319-nolibc-namespacing-v1-1-33c22eaddb5e@weissschuh.net List of files: /linux/tools/include/nolibc/sys/timerfd.h

55f1d6a9d6780e779e882a4d2d1b3db311835798 - tools/nolibc: rename my_syscallX() to __nolibc_syscallX()

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 22:40:14 +0100

tools/nolibc: rename my_syscallX() to __nolibc_syscallX()The naming convention of the my_syscallX() macros is a bit unfortunate.They may conflict with application code and the name is very generic.Switch to __nolibc_syscallX(). The leading underscores place the symbolsin the implementation-defined namespace, avoiding conflicting names.It is also clearer that these are non-standard extensions from nolibc.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Acked-by: Willy Tarreau Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260223-nolibc-namespacing-v1-1-52574ffebb2c@weissschuh.net List of files: /linux/tools/include/nolibc/sys/timerfd.h

selftests/nolibc: add static assertions around time types handlingThe nolibc system call wrappers expect the libc types to be compatibleto the kernel types.Make sure these expectations hold at compile-time.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Acked-by: Willy Tarreau Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251220-nolibc-uapi-types-v3-14-c662992f75d7@weissschuh.net List of files: /linux/tools/include/nolibc/sys/timerfd.h

tools/nolibc: remove time conversionsNow that 'struct timespec' and 'struct __kernel_timespec' arecompatible, the conversions are not necessary anymore.The same holds true for 'struct itimerspec' and 'struct__kernel_itimerspec'.Remove the conversions.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Acked-by: Willy Tarreau Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251220-nolibc-uapi-types-v3-11-c662992f75d7@weissschuh.net List of files: /linux/tools/include/nolibc/sys/timerfd.h

tools/nolibc: prefer explicit 64-bit time-related system callsMake sure to always use the 64-bit safe system callsin preparation for 64-bit time_t on 32-bit architectures.Also prevent issues on kernels which disable CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIMEand therefore don't provide the 32-bit system calls anymore.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Acked-by: Willy Tarreau Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251220-nolibc-uapi-types-v3-5-c662992f75d7@weissschuh.net List of files: /linux/tools/include/nolibc/sys/timerfd.h
