Subject: [PATCH 7/9] um: add infrastructure to build files using nolibc
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 09:11:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915071115.1429196-8-benjamin@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250915071115.1429196-1-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.
