[RFC] Preventing overlap between arch mman.h and asm-generic/mman.h

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



David,

Thanks for the great UAPI work. While working on glibc mman.h sync I had
the chance to look more closely at some of the UAPI headers.

Currently (3.7.0-rc6) sparc, powerpc, and tile are including mman-common.h,
but nothing in mman-common.h helps prevent the accidental definition of an
overlapping new constant value.

For example in mman.h powerpc defines:
 #define MAP_NORESERVE  0x40            /* don't reserve swap pages */
 #define MAP_LOCKED     0x80

If someone were to add a new MAP_* value in mman-common.h at 0x40 it
would conflict with the existing powerpc value. The powerpc maintainers
might not notice, and that's a bug.

I notice that someone is trying to avoid this kind of bug, because for
example the new MADV_HWPOISON was chosen as 100, which is higher than
any other MADV_* value for any architecture.

Rather than avoid the problem by spot-checking, would it be acceptable
to merge in some private macros that block out exactly which constants
are already in use as existing values for arches using UAPI headers?

Doing it this way would allow for the merged arches to more safely
include the asm-generic version of mman.h and start benefiting from new
constants without the usual maintenance cost (not to mention everyone
would start in lock-step going forward). Not to mention it simplifies
some of the glibc maintenance.

Rather than just talk about it here's a back-of-the-napkin sketch and a
patch:

* Merges asm-generic/mman-common.h back into asm-generic/mman.h
* Include asm-generic/mman.h instead of asm-generic/mman-common.h
  for powerpc, sparc, tile and parisc.
* Delete mman-common.h.
* Use internal placeholder macros for all existing uses of the 
  various constants in mman.h to avoid future overlap.

Is it only worth doing if *all* arches are included in the cleanup?

Is it worth loosing some bits for the benefit in maintenance (note that
bits can be got back through #undef reallocation in the arch header)?

Is this too ugly for the benefit?

Comments?

Notes: 
* Partly verified using a set of scripts to automate checking for
  macro defines matching regexp's and constant values.
* Build tested on parisc.
