[LTP] [PATCH] syscalls/semctl08: Skip semctl08 when __USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS is defined

[Jiaying Song via ltp]

From: Jiaying Song <jiaying.song.cn@windriver.com>

When __USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS is defined, glibc redirects struct semid_ds to a
64-bit time-safe version that omits the sem_otime_high and sem_ctime_high
fields. As a result, the case becomes invalid and leads to incorrect behavior.

This patch adds a check to skip the test when __USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS is
defined, ensuring the test only runs when semid_ds structurally matches
semid64_ds and the *_high fields are accessible.

Looking into this old patch. Depending on glibc specific internal definition is
not a preferred approach (definition can be renamed). I wonder if this could be
detected with m4 macro or otherwise (some kind of sizeof check).

IMHO glibc has not switched to 64bit time-safe version by default yet, right?
And it depends on glibc being compiled with -D_TIME_BITS=64 and
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, right? But these aren't detectable, right?

Looking at glibc sources [1], _TIME_BITS and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS really determine
__USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS:

#if defined _TIME_BITS
# if _TIME_BITS == 64
#  if ! defined (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS) || _FILE_OFFSET_BITS != 64
#   error "_TIME_BITS=64 is allowed only with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
#  endif
#  define __USE_TIME_BITS64     1
# elif _TIME_BITS == 32
#  if __TIMESIZE > 32
#   error "_TIME_BITS=32 is not compatible with __TIMESIZE > 32"
#  endif
# else
#  error Invalid _TIME_BITS value (can only be 32 or 64-bit)
# endif
#elif __TIMESIZE == 64
# define __USE_TIME_BITS64      1
#endif

#if defined __USE_TIME_BITS64 && __TIMESIZE == 32
# define __USE_TIME64_REDIRECTS 1
#endif

_TIME_BITS toolchain support is detected by configure.ac [2]

and nowadays is probably 64 bit by default, see  timezone/private.h [3]:

#if !defined _TIME_BITS && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
# define _TIME_BITS 64
#endif

And the same question applies to your other msgctl05 related patch [4].

Kind regards,
Petr
