Subject: [PATCH v2 07/11] um: add infrastructure to build files using nolibc
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 17:34:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250919153420.727385-8-benjamin@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250919153420.727385-1-benjamin@sipsolutions.net>
From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@intel.com>
Add NOLIBC_CFLAGS and NOLIBC_OBJS to build files against nolibc rather
than libc. With this it is possible to move to nolibc in smaller steps.
Set NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO, as the nolibc errno implementation is overly
simple and cannot handle threading. nolibc provides sys_* functions that
do not emulate the libc errno behaviour and can be used instead.
Guard the syscall definition as it is a macro in nolibc.
Signed-off-by: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg@intel.com>
---
v2:
- Do not include nolibc.h via CFLAGS
- Make syscall guard more explicit
- Remove __UM_NOLIBC__ define, it is not needed
- Fix out-of-tree building
