Linux has supported arbitrary speeds and split speeds in the kernel since 2008 on all platforms except Alpha (fixed in 2020), but glibc was never updated to match. This is further complicated by POSIX uses of macros for the cf[gs]et[io]speed interfaces, rather than plain numbers, as it really ought to have. On most platforms, the glibc ABI includes the c_[io]speed fields in struct termios, but they are incorrectly used. On MIPS and SPARC, they are entirely missing. For backwards compatibility, the kernel will still use the legacy speed fields unless they are set to BOTHER, and will use the legacy output speed as the input speed if the latter is 0 (== B0). However, the specific encoding used is visible to user space applications, including ones other than the one running. - SPARC and MIPS get a new struct termios, and tc[gs]etattr() is versioned accordingly. However, the new struct termios is set to be a strict extension of the old one, which means that cf* interfaces other than the speed-related ones do not need versioning. - The Bxxx constants are redefined as equivalent to their integer values and the legacy Bxxx constants are renamed __Bxxx. - cf[gs]et[io]speed() and cfsetspeed() are versioned accordingly. - tcgetattr() and cfset[io]speed() are adjusted to always keep the c_[io]speed fields correct (unlike earlier versions), but to canonicalize the representation to ALSO configure the legacy fields if a valid legacy representation exists. - tcsetattr(), too, canonicalizes the representation in this way before passing it to the kernel, to maximize compatibility with older applications/tools. - The old IBAUD0 hack is removed; it is no longer necessary since even the legacy c_cflag baud rate fields have had separate input values for a long time.

README
This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library. See the file "version.h" for what release version you have. The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems, and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system. In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications. In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers. The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu and x86_64-gnu. When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later. Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be installed for the pthread library to work correctly. The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels: aarch64*-*-linux-gnu alpha*-*-linux-gnu arc*-*-linux-gnu arm-*-linux-gnueabi csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2 hppa-*-linux-gnu i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu x86_64-*-linux-gnu Can build either x86_64 or x32 loongarch64-*-linux-gnu Hardware floating point, LE only. m68k-*-linux-gnu microblaze*-*-linux-gnu mips-*-linux-gnu mips64-*-linux-gnu or1k-*-linux-gnu powerpc-*-linux-gnu Hardware or software floating point, BE only. powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu Big-endian and little-endian. s390-*-linux-gnu s390x-*-linux-gnu riscv32-*-linux-gnu riscv64-*-linux-gnu sh[34]-*-linux-gnu sparc*-*-linux-gnu sparc64*-*-linux-gnu If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more information. See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install the GNU C Library. You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/. The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual found in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. For corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component, following the bug-reporting instructions below. Please be sure to check the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has already been corrected. Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting information. We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports. This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly. The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require these additional notices to be distributed. License copyright years may be listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed individually.
