Miscellaneous sys/ucontext.h namespace fixes (bug 21457).
This patch fixes various miscellaneous namespace issues in
sys/ucontext.h headers.
Some struct tags are removed where the structs also have *_t typedef
names, while other struct tags without such names are renamed to start
__; the changes are noted in NEWS as they can affect C++ name mangling
(although there seems to be little if any external use of these types,
at least based on checking codesearch.debian.net). For powerpc,
pointers to struct pt_regs (not defined in this header) are changed to
point to struct __ctx(pt_regs), so in the __USE_MISC case those struct
fields continue to point to the existing struct pt_regs type for
maximum compatibility, while when that's a namespace issue they point
to a struct __pt_regs type which is always an incomplete struct.
Tested for affected architectures with build-many-glibcs.py.
[BZ #21457]
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/m68k/sys/ucontext.h (fpregset_t): Remove
struct tag.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/sys/ucontext.h (fpregset_t):
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/nios2/sys/ucontext.h (mcontext_t):
Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/sys/ucontext.h (pt_regs):
Declare struct type with __ctx.
[__WORDSIZE != 32] (mcontext_t): Use __ctx with pt_regs struct
tag.
(ucontext_t) [__WORDSIZE == 32]: Use __ctx with pt_regs struct tag
and regs field name.
