2020-10-28libgo: handle linking to NetBSD's versioned symbolsNikhil Benesch1-0/+46
On NetBSD, for backwards compatibility, various libc symbols are renamed to a symbol with a version suffix. For example, this is the (abbreviated) definition of sigaction: int sigaction(...) __asm__ ("__sigaction14") This poses a challenge for libgo, which attempts to link sigaction by way of an "//extern" comment: //extern sigaction func sigaction(...) This results in a reference to the deprecated compatibility symbol "sigaction", rather than the desired "__sigaction14" symbol. This patch introduces a new "//extern-sysinfo" comment to handle this situation. The new mklinknames.awk script scans a package for these comments and outputs a "//go:linkname" directive that links the wrapper to the correct versioned symbol, as determined by parsing the __asm__ annotation on the function's declaration in gen-sysinfo.go. For now, only the following packages are scanned by mklinknames.awk: os os/user runtime syscall gotools/: * Makefile.am (check-runtime): Add runtime_linknames.go to --extrafiles. * Makefile.in: Regenerate.
