this commit adds a new backend for fstatat (and thereby the whole stat family) using the SYS_statx syscall, but conditions the new code on the kernel stat structure's time fields being smaller than time_t. in principle that should make it all dead code at present, but mips64 has a broken stat structure with 32-bit time fields despite having 64-bit time_t elsewhere, so on mips64 it is a functional change that makes post-Y2038 filesystem timestamps accessible. whenever the 32-bit archs end up getting 64-bit time_t, regardless of how that happens, the changes in this commit will automatically take effect for them too.
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
