Can one of you please apply this patch and see if it'll build in musl on
mips, please?  Sorry it's taken so long to address this. :/

Florian Fainelli most recently reported that xfsprogs doesn't build with
musl on mips:

"MIPS platforms building with recent kernel headers and the musl-libc
toolchain will expose the following build failure:

mmap.c: In function 'mmap_f':
mmap.c:196:12: error: 'MAP_SYNC' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'MS_SYNC'?
   196 |    flags = MAP_SYNC | MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE;
       |            ^~~~~~~~
       |            MS_SYNC
mmap.c:196:12: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[4]: *** [../include/buildrules:81: mmap.o] Error 1"

At first glance, the build failure here is caused by the fact that:

1. The configure script doesn't detect MAP_SYNC support
2. The build system doesn't set HAVE_MAP_SYNC
2. io/mmap.c includes input.h -> projects.h -> xfs.h and later sys/mman.h
3. include/linux.h #define's MAP_SYNC to 0 if HAVE_MAP_SYNC is not set
4. musl's sys/mman.h #undef MAP_SYNC on platforms that don't support it
5. io/mmap.c tries to use MAP_SYNC, not realizing that libc undefined it

Normally, xfs_io only exports functionality that is defined by the libc
and/or kernel headers on the build system.  We often make exceptions for
new functionality so that we have a way to test them before the header
file packages catch up, hence this '#ifndef HAVE_FOO #define FOO'
paradigm.

MAP_SYNC is a gross and horribly broken example of this.  These support
crutches are supposed to be *private* to xfsprogs for benefit of early
testing, but they were instead added to include/linux.h, which we
provide to user programs in the xfslibs-dev package.  IOWs, we've been
#defining MAP_SYNC to zero for unsuspecting programs.

Worst yet, gcc 11.3 doesn't even warn about overriding a #define to 0:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#ifdef STUPID
# include <xfs/xfs.h>
#endif

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	printf("MAP_SYNC 0x%x\n", MAP_SYNC);
}

$ gcc -o a a.c -Wall
$ ./a
MAP_SYNC 0x80000
$ gcc -DSTUPID -o a a.c -Wall
$ ./a
MAP_SYNC 0x0

Four years have gone by since the introduction of MAP_SYNC, so let's get
rid of the override code entirely -- any platform that supports MAP_SYNC
has had plenty of chances to ensure their header files have the right
bits.  While we're at it, fix AC_HAVE_MAP_SYNC to look for MAP_SYNC in
the same header file that the one user (io/mmap.c) uses -- sys/mman.h.

Annoyingly, I had to test this by hand because the sole fstest that
exercises MAP_SYNC (generic/470) requires dm-logwrites and dm-thinp,
neither of which support fsdax on current kernels.
