Here's a patch for linux-generic to use <bits/fcntl-linux.h>.
The patch is also part of my git branch aj/shared-linux-fcntl.

Ok to commit?

Andreas

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/bits/fcntl.h: Remove all
	definitions and declarations that are provided by

Does it make sense to move the O_LARGEFILE definition to bits/fcntl-linux.h
instead, i.e. if __O_LARGEFILE is not defined, provide a definition that's
conditional on _WORDSIZE?  That seems like a more natural default,
particularly as more platforms will be 64-bit with time and thus want zero
for O_LARGEFILE.  <bits/wordsize.h> could either be unconditionally
included, or just included ifndef __O_LARGEFILE.

Likewise, it might make sense to take the linux-generic version of struct
flock/flock64 into bits/fcntl-linux.h, with an "#ifndef __struct_flock" or
equivalent so that platforms with variant definitions of those structures
can provide them.

This would leave us in the natural-seeming position of having linux-generic
use the generic Linux version of fcntl.h with no customizations :-)

We could have:
#ifdef __USE_LARGEFILE64
# if __WORDSIZE == 64
#  define O_LARGEFILE  0
# else
#  define O_LARGEFILE __O_LARGEFILE
# endif
#endif

but this needs we need to include <bits/wordsize.h> in 
<bits/fcntl-linux.h> which is not always the case today.

Especially, there's no double inclusion protection for <bits/wordsize.h> 
so if <bits/fcntl.h> already includes <bits/wordsize.h>, it will give 
warnings about redefinitions.

How can we solve that? What do others thing?

Yes, struct flock cleanup is another topic which I did not tackle yet on 
purpose. If you like to give it a go, you're welcome ;)

It's already quite short after my patch,

if i'm reading mips' fcntl.h correctly, i don't think that'll work.  you'd 
have to make this the __O_LARGEFILE default rather than O_LARGEFILE.  their 
64bit abis are kind of the suck :/.

That's too much hair.  If there is a majority common value for
__O_LARGEFILE, then you can default __O_LARGEFILE to that value.
Beyond that, I'd say just leave it alone.

I think it's OK to include it freely here or elsewhere.  All the existing
<wordsize.h> headers just offer #defines, which can be repeated multiple
times as long as each time the variable is defined to the same value.

Yes, perhaps I should have mentioned that I think the patch is definitely a
good thing as-is!

Yes, I think this default definition should be up with the other __O_xxx
definitions and define __O_LARGEFILE if it's not defined.  This feels more
consistent with how the other platform defaults are handled.  It also is
less hairy since the __USE_LARGEFILE test for defining O_LARGEFILE is
separated from the _WORDSIZE test for defining __O_LARGEFILE.

There are two majority values: Basically on 32-bit it'S 0100000 and on 
64-bit systems it's 0. That's why we currently have

#ifndef __O_LARGEFILE
# define __O_LARGEFILE  0100000
#endif

#ifdef __USE_LARGEFILE64
# define O_LARGEFILE __O_LARGEFILE
#endif

And 64-bit hosts define:
/* Not necessary, files are always with 64bit off_t.  */
#define __O_LARGEFILE   0

While x86 and others where we support both 32-bit and 64-bit arch have 
code like the following in <bits/fcntl.h>:
#if __WORDSIZE == 64
/* Not necessary, files are always with 64bit off_t.  */
# define __O_LARGEFILE  0
#else
# define __O_LARGEFILE  0100000
#endif

But since Mike mentioned that this won't work for MIPS, I suggest to 
leave the code as is in this case and not follow Chris' suggestion.

Chris, may I commit the original patch?

Sure, I think that's reasonable.  At least as-is we won't likely be adding
any more conditional definitions of __O_LARGEFILE anywhere, even as new
architectures are added.
