"include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h" is uapi, we could not check
"ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T" here. Besides, the `__kernel_long_t` is long which
mean it is 32bit in ILP32. should we define something like x32?

glibc does not use the definition of __kernel_off_t, it has its own
copy, so changing the kernel headers would do nothing.
Yes, I think so. I am puzzle that how do we ensure that all the new
32bit architecture will define off_t as 64bit after introduce
ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T and do not change any other code?
@@ -5,6 +5,9 @@ typedef unsigned short __kernel_old_uid_t;
typedef unsigned short __kernel_old_gid_t;
#define __kernel_old_uid_t __kernel_old_uid_t
+typedef long long __kernel_long_t;
+typedef unsigned long long __kernel_ulong_t;
+
#include <asm-generic/posix_types.h>
#endif /* __ASM_POSIX_TYPES_H */u
```
This would break all sorts of things, because __kernel_long_t/__kernel_ulong_t
are not just used for off_t but also other things.
Yes. But if we do not change __kernel_long_t and __kernel_ulong_t, the
application of ilp32 will think size of long in kernel is 32bit. Is that
correct?
On the other hand, glibc define it own off_t in "bits/types.h":
__STD_TYPE __OFF_T_TYPE __off_t; /* Type of file sizes and offsets. */
__STD_TYPE __OFF64_T_TYPE __off64_t; /* Type of file sizes and offsets (LFS). */
in "sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/bits/typesizes.h":
#define __OFF_T_TYPE __SLONGWORD_TYPE
#define __OFF64_T_TYPE __SQUAD_TYPE
If we define off_t as 64bit in glibc:
#define __OFF_T_TYPE __SQUAD_TYPE
Should We need to align all the off_t syscall to 64bit syscall in
kernel?
Yes, this is the change that I think we need to make, along with
the same change for __INO_T_TYPE and
#define __OFF_T_MATCHES_OFF64_T 1
#define __INO_T_MATCHES_INO64_T 1
If I read the rest of the glibc headers right, that should be all we need
to ensure that both off_t and off64_t match the __kernel_loff_t based
syscalls.
Ok, I will test the ltp syscall test.
With this changes, the issue I mentioned should be fixed. But we still
use mmap2 syscall for ILP32 application when we pass the offset instead
of page offset. Is it correct?
