mremap

[Thomas Schwinge]

Hello!

    /home/thomas/tmp/source/glibc/work.new.build.gnu-1/locale/locarchive.o: In 
function `file_data_available_p':
    /home/thomas/tmp/source/glibc/work.new/locale/programs/locarchive.c:263: 
undefined reference to `mremap'
    /home/thomas/tmp/source/glibc/work.new.build.gnu-1/locale/locarchive.o: In 
function `enlarge_archive':
    /home/thomas/tmp/source/glibc/work.new/locale/programs/locarchive.c:315: 
undefined reference to `mremap'

That is, glibc is now unconditionally using mremap (in locale code).
However, mremap is not available on GNU/Hurd.  It is a syscall for Linux.

Why isn't there a generic ENOSYS stub for mremap?  I attached one.  How
to do symbol versioning?  sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Versions has it defined
for GLIBC_2.0.  What to do now in misc/Versions?

Other uses of mremap: in the malloc code, #if linux is used.  The other
use of mremap in libio/fileops.c is protected by _G_HAVE_MREMAP.  This
definition (previously also #if linux) was introduced by Marcus in 2004,
c.f. <http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2004-11/msg00065.html>.  This
definiton of _G_HAVE_MREMAP still is the only difference between
sysdeps/gnu/_G_config.h and the then-introduced
sysdeps/mach/hurd/_G_config.h.  In libio/fileops.c, if _G_HAVE_MREMAP is
not defined, a fallback code-path of munmap followed by mmap is chosen.
Wouldn't it be possible to generalize this (for the MREMAP_MAYMOVE case)
in the otherwise-ENOSYS stub?
