On current minimum supported kernels, the SysV IPC on Linux is provided
by either the ipc syscalls or correspondent wire syscalls. Also, for
architectures that supports wire syscalls all syscalls are supported
in a set (msgct, msgrcv, msgsnd, msgget, semctl, semget, semop, semtimedop,
shmctl, shmat, shmget, shmdt).
The architectures that only supports ipc syscall are:
- i386, m68k, microblaze, mips32, powerpc (powerpc32, powerpc64, and
powerpc64le), s390 (32 and 64 bits), sh, sparc32, and sparc64.
And the architectures that only supports wired syscalls are:
- aarch64, alpha, hppa, ia64, mips64, mips64n32, nios2, tile
(tilepro, tilegx, and tilegx64), and x86_64
Also arm is the only one that supports both wire syscalls and the
ipc, although the ipc one is deprecated.
This patch adds a new define, __ASSUME_DIRECT_SYSVIPC_SYSCALL, that wired
syscalls are supported on the system and the general idea is to use
it where possible.
I also checked the syscall table for all architectures on Linux 4.9
and there is no change on described support for Linux 2.6.32/3.2.

This patch adjusts the defaults for kernel-features.h macros relating
to availability of accept4, recvmmsg and sendmmsg. It is not intended
to affect which macros end up getting defined in any configuration.
At present, all architectures with syscalls for those functions need
to define __ASSUME_*_SYSCALL macros; in particular, any new
architecture needs its own kernel-features.h file for that purpose,
though it may not otherwise need such a header. Those macros are then
used together with __ASSUME_SOCKETCALL to define macros for whether
the functions in question are available.
This patch changes the defaults so that the syscalls are assumed to be
available by default with recent-enough kernels, and it is the
responsibility of architecture headers to undefine the macros if they
are unavailable in supported kernels at least as recent as the version
where the architecture-independent functionality was introduced. The
__ASSUME_<function> macros are defaulted similarly instead of being
defined based on other macros (defining based on other macros would no
longer work because the #undefs appear after the generic header is
included), so where the syscall being unavailable means the function
is unavailable this means the architecture header has to undefine the
__ASSUME_<function> macro; this only affects __ASSUME_ACCEPT4 for
ia64, as other cases where the syscalls were added late enough to be
relevant with current kernel version requirements are all on
socketcall architectures.
As a consequence, the AArch64 and Nios II kernel-features.h header
files are removed, and others simplified. When the minimum kernel
version becomes 4.3 or later on all architectures, the syscalls in
question can just be assumed unconditionally, permitting further
simplification.
Tested for x86_64, x86 and powerpc (that installed shared libraries
are unchanged by the patch, and testsuite for x86_64 and x86).

this patch calls direct system calls for socket operations in the same way as power does. The system calls were introduced in kernel commit https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=977108f89c989b1eeb5c8d938e1e71913391eb5f.
There are no direct recv, send, accept syscalls available on s390. Thus
recvfrom, sendto, accept4 are called instead of the socketcall by defining __ASSUME_*_FOR_*_SYSCALL macros. See recv.c, send.c, accept.c in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ folder.
The socketcalls in syscalls.list for s390-64 are removed. They were never used on s390x.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/kernel-features.h:
(__ASSUME_*_SYSCALL) Define new macros.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/syscalls.list:
Remove socketcall syscalls.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/accept.c (__libc_accept):
Use accept4 if defined __ASSUME_ACCEPT4_FOR_ACCEPT_SYSCALL.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/recv.c (__libc_recv):
Use recvfrom if defined __ASSUME_RECVFROM_FOR_RECV_SYSCALL.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/send.c (__libc_send):
Use sendto if defined __ASSUME_SENDTO_FOR_SEND_SYSCALL.
This patch splits s390 out of the main Linux kernel-features.h.
Not tested.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/kernel-features.h: New file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/kernel-features.h [__s390__]
