Don’t include sys/select.h from sys/types.h.
This is supposedly present for BSD compatibility, but the current
generation of BSDs is not consistent about it: FreeBSD does, OpenBSD
doesn’t, NetBSD exposes only fd_set and the FD_* macros. Programs
that need to wait for any of multiple I/O events have several
alternatives to select nowadays, so I think it makes sense to expose
select only to programs that specifically want it.
Only a few places within our own code are affected. A few test
programs need to include sys/select.h explicitly, as does rpc/svc.h.
sysdeps/nptl/thread_db.h needs to declare sigset_t, and
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect.c was including sys/poll.h instead of
sys/select.h, which is probably a copy-and-paste error. sys/socket.h
needs to forward-declare struct timespec under __USE_GNU, because
recvmmsg has a struct timespec * argument; I’m open to the possibility
of having it fully declare struct timespec.
I considered taking sys/select.h out of sys/time.h as well, but POSIX
not only explicitly allows this inclusion, it requires sys/time.h to
declare almost everything that sys/select.h declares. It doesn’t seem
worth creating another bits header just to prevent sys/time.h from
declaring pselect, sigset_t, and struct timespec.
Not including sys/select.h from sys/types.h means that sys/types.h
also no longer defines anything from sys/time.h, and a couple of files
were relying on that. (pthread_join_common.c should be using
clock_gettime instead of gettimeofday, but that's out of scope for
this patch series.)
* posix/sys/types.h: Don’t include sys/select.h.
* scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py: Remove whitelist entry
for sys/types.h -> sys/select.h. Adjust commentary re
sys/time.h -> sys/select.h.
* socket/sys/socket.h: When __USE_GNU, forward-declare struct timespec.
* misc/tst-fdset.c, nptl/tst-cancel4.c, scripts/check-c++-types.sh
* sunrpc/rpc/svc.h: Include sys/select.h.
* sysdeps/nptl/thread_db.h: Include bits/types/sigset_t.h.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect.c: Include sys/select.h,
not sys/poll.h.
* nptl/pthread_join_common.c, sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-vdso.h:
Include sys/time.h.
