Description

This PR deprecates a number of symbols from the unix/linux_like/l4re module. This has also come with further deprecations and modifications in other top-level modules.

At present, the definitions in upstream l4re-core are always 64-bit wide for the 64-bit targets we seem to support in this module. Though rustc only has support for x86_64 under this target OS.

Sources

Sources on the uClibc changes are documented in #5165. A regex search of the affected symbols on l4re-core's libc directory reveals no modifications in their patches would necessitate changes in this patch.

Checklist

  • Relevant tests in libc-test/semver have been updated
  • No placeholder or unstable values like *LAST or *MAX are included (see #3131)
  • Tested locally (cd libc-test && cargo test --target mytarget); especially relevant for platforms that may not be checked in CI

This patch makes a few changes to the file offset types and routines
that are made available under the `unix/linux_like/l4re` module.

The current upstream definitions under x86_64 and AArch64 are
unconditionally 64-bit. Then there's the fact there's only one target
officially supported by rustc under L4Re, and that's x86_64.
