[PATCH v4 00/10] tools/nolibc: add a new syscall helper

Hi, Thomas, David, Willy

Thanks very much for your kindly review.

This is the revision of v3 "tools/nolibc: add a new syscall helper" [1],
this mainly applies the suggestion from David in this reply [2] and
rebased everything on the dev.2023.06.14a branch of linux-rcu [3].

The old __sysret() doesn't support the syscalls with pointer return
value, this revision now supports such syscalls. The left mmap() syscall
is converted to use this new __sysret() with additional test cases.

Changes from v3 -> v4:

* tools/nolibc: sys.h: add a syscall return helper
  tools/nolibc: unistd.h: apply __sysret() helper
  tools/nolibc: sys.h: apply __sysret() helper

  The original v3 series, no code change, except the Reviewed-by lines
  from Thomas.

* tools/nolibc: unistd.h: reorder the syscall macros

  reorder the syscall macros in using order and align most of them.

* tools/nolibc: add missing my_syscall6() for mips

  required by mmap() syscall, this is the last missing my_syscall6().

* tools/nolibc: __sysret: support syscalls who return a pointer

  Apply suggestion from David.  

  Let __sysret() also supports syscalls with pointer return value, so, the
  return value is converted to unsigned long and the comparing of < 0 is
  converted to the comparing of [(unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO, (unsigned long)-1].

  This also allows return a huge value (not pointer) with highest bit as 1.

  It is able to merge this one to the first one if necessary.

* tools/nolibc: clean up mmap() support

  Apply new __sysret(), clean up #ifdef and some macros.

* selftests/nolibc: add EXPECT_PTREQ, EXPECT_PTRNE and EXPECT_PTRER
  selftests/nolibc: add sbrk_0 to test current brk getting
  selftests/nolibc: add mmap and munmap test cases

  Add some mmap & munmap test cases and the corresponding helpers, to
  verify one of the new helpers, a sbrk_0 test case is also added.

Best regards,
Zhangjin
