to make use of {sem,shm,msg}ctl IPC_STAT functionality to provide 64-bit time_t on 32-bit archs, IPC_STAT and related macros must be defined with bit 8 (0x100) set. allow archs to define IPC_STAT in bits/ipc.h, and define the other macros in terms of it so that they all get the same value of the time64 bit.
aarch64 supports 32MB and 512MB hugetlb page sizes too. added in linux commit 20916d4636a9b3c1bf562b305f91d126771edaf9
introduced to stat ipc objects without permission checks since the info is available in /proc/sysvipc anyway, new in linux commits 23c8cec8cf679b10997a512abb1e86f0cedc42ba a280d6dc77eb6002f269d58cd47c7c7e69b617b6 c21a6970ae727839a2f300cd8dd957de0d0238c3
*_HUGE_SHIFT, *_HUGE_2MB, *_HUGE_1GB are documented in the man page, so add all of the *_HUGE_* macros from linux uapi. if MAP_HUGETLB is set, top bits of the mmap flags encode the page size. see the linux commit aafd4562dfee81a40ba21b5ea3cf5e06664bc7f6 if SHM_HUGETLB is set, top bits of the shmget flags encode the page size. see the linux commit 4da243ac1cf6aeb30b7c555d56208982d66d6d33 *_HUGE_16GB is defined unsigned to avoid signed left shift ub.
in fixing this, I've changed the logic from ugly #if/#else blocks inside the struct shm_info definition to a fixed struct definition and optional macros to rename the elements. this will be helpful if we need to move shm_info to a bits header in the future, as it will keep the feature test logic out of bits.
this type is not really intended to be used; it's just there to allow implementations to choose the type for the shm_nattch member of struct shmid_sh, presumably since historical implementations disagreed on the type. in any case, it needs to be there, so now it is.
these are not specified in the standard, but in the reserved namespace, so there is no problem with defining them unconditionally.
the old behavior of exposing nothing except plain ISO C can be obtained by defining __STRICT_ANSI__ or using a compiler option (such as -std=c99) that predefines it. the new default featureset is POSIX with XSI plus _BSD_SOURCE. any explicit feature test macros will inhibit the default. installation docs have also been updated to reflect this change.
