the time64 syscall is used only if the timeout does not fit in 32 bits. after preprocessing, the code is unchanged on 64-bit archs. for 32-bit archs, the timeout now goes through an intermediate copy, meaning that the caller does not get back the updated timeout. this is based on my reading of the documentation, which does not document the updating as a contract you can rely on, and mentions that the whole recvmmsg timeout mechanism is buggy and unlikely to be useful. if it turns out that there's interest in making the remaining time officially available to callers, such functionality could be added back later.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
