Summary

This drops function getexecname() redirection.

Historically getexecname() is a compatibility definition. Since openzfs has its own implementation of function getexecname() in libspl and has been merged into base, the compat header file stdlib.h is no longer needed and should not be used.

Also without this fix libspl will end up an incompatible version of getprogname() with libc. In particular, if zfs is enabled, programs such as pgrep in /rescue can be wrongly statically linked with libspl and will not function properly.

Event Timeline

  1. This file can simply be removed, no?
  2. Will this break the use of getexecname() in contrib/opensolaris/tools/ctf/common/utils.c? I think we can simply change that to use getprogname(). Or even better, get rid of getpname() and modify the single caller in dump.c to use getprogname() directly.

It may break contrib/opensolaris/tools/ctf/common/utils.c, I'll check that.

Yes you're right !

ctfdump is actually linked against getprogname() in libc. So we can safely get rid of getpname().

BTW, after debugging with lldb I can confirm ztest is calling getprogname() in libspl.

And with D38740 we should be able to completely remove this stdlib.h header.
