kernel: use upstream patches for musl

This replaces the current patches used to make the kernel headers
compatible with musl with the version which was accepted upstream. This
is included in upstream kernel 4.15.
This was compile tested with iproute2 build on all supported kernel
versions with musl and one one with glibc.

+Subject: uapi libc compat: add fallback for unsupported libcs
+
+libc-compat.h aims to prevent symbol collisions between uapi and libc
+headers for each supported libc. This requires continuous coordination
+between them.
+
+The goal of this commit is to improve the situation for libcs (such as
+musl) which are not yet supported and/or do not wish to be explicitly
+supported, while not affecting supported libcs. More precisely, with
+this commit, unsupported libcs can request the suppression of any
+specific uapi definition by defining the correspondings _UAPI_DEF_*
+macro as 0. This can fix symbol collisions for them, as long as the
+libc headers are included before the uapi headers. Inclusion in the
+other order is outside the scope of this commit.
+
+All infrastructure in order to enable this fallback for unsupported
+libcs is already in place, except that libc-compat.h unconditionally
+defines all _UAPI_DEF_* macros to 1 for all unsupported libcs so that
+any previous definitions are ignored. In order to fix this, this commit
+merely makes these definitions conditional.
+
+This commit together with the musl libc commit
+
+http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=04983f2272382af92eb8f8838964ff944fbb8258
+
+fixes for example the following compiler errors when <linux/in6.h> is
+included after musl's <netinet/in.h>:
+
+./linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'
+./linux/in6.h:49:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6'
+./linux/in6.h:59:8: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq'
+
+The comments referencing glibc are still correct, but this file is not
+only used for glibc any more.

-Subject: [PATCH 2/3] uapi/libc-compat.h: do not rely on __GLIBC__
-
-Musl provides the same structs as glibc, but does not provide a define to
-allow its detection. Since the absence of __GLIBC__ also can mean that it
-is included from the kernel, change the __GLIBC__ detection to
-!__KERNEL__, which should always be true when included from userspace.

+Subject: uapi libc compat: add fallback for unsupported libcs
+
+libc-compat.h aims to prevent symbol collisions between uapi and libc
+headers for each supported libc. This requires continuous coordination
+between them.
+
+The goal of this commit is to improve the situation for libcs (such as
+musl) which are not yet supported and/or do not wish to be explicitly
+supported, while not affecting supported libcs. More precisely, with
+this commit, unsupported libcs can request the suppression of any
+specific uapi definition by defining the correspondings _UAPI_DEF_*
+macro as 0. This can fix symbol collisions for them, as long as the
+libc headers are included before the uapi headers. Inclusion in the
+other order is outside the scope of this commit.
+
+All infrastructure in order to enable this fallback for unsupported
+libcs is already in place, except that libc-compat.h unconditionally
+defines all _UAPI_DEF_* macros to 1 for all unsupported libcs so that
+any previous definitions are ignored. In order to fix this, this commit
+merely makes these definitions conditional.
+
+This commit together with the musl libc commit
+
+http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=04983f2272382af92eb8f8838964ff944fbb8258
+
+fixes for example the following compiler errors when <linux/in6.h> is
+included after musl's <netinet/in.h>:
+
+./linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'
+./linux/in6.h:49:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6'
+./linux/in6.h:59:8: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq'
+
+The comments referencing glibc are still correct, but this file is not
+only used for glibc any more.

 its definition of the appropriate musl header has already been included.

-Subject: [PATCH 1/3] uapi/kernel.h: glibc specific inclusion of sysinfo.h
-
-including sysinfo.h from kernel.h makes no sense whatsoever,
-but removing it breaks glibc's userspace header,
-which includes kernel.h instead of sysinfo.h from their sys/sysinfo.h.
-this seems to be a historical mistake.
-on musl, including any header that uses kernel.h directly or indirectly
-plus sys/sysinfo.h will produce a compile error due to redefinition of
-struct sysinfo from sys/sysinfo.h.
-so for now, only include it on glibc or when including from kernel
-in order not to break their headers.

+Date: Sun, 12 Nov 2017 13:30:17 -0500
+Subject: uapi libc compat: add fallback for unsupported libcs
+
+libc-compat.h aims to prevent symbol collisions between uapi and libc
+headers for each supported libc. This requires continuous coordination
+between them.
+
+The goal of this commit is to improve the situation for libcs (such as
+musl) which are not yet supported and/or do not wish to be explicitly
+supported, while not affecting supported libcs. More precisely, with
+this commit, unsupported libcs can request the suppression of any
+specific uapi definition by defining the correspondings _UAPI_DEF_*
+macro as 0. This can fix symbol collisions for them, as long as the
+libc headers are included before the uapi headers. Inclusion in the
+other order is outside the scope of this commit.
+
+All infrastructure in order to enable this fallback for unsupported
+libcs is already in place, except that libc-compat.h unconditionally
+defines all _UAPI_DEF_* macros to 1 for all unsupported libcs so that
+any previous definitions are ignored. In order to fix this, this commit
+merely makes these definitions conditional.
+
+This commit together with the musl libc commit
+
+http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=04983f2272382af92eb8f8838964ff944fbb8258
+
+fixes for example the following compiler errors when <linux/in6.h> is
+included after musl's <netinet/in.h>:
+
+./linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'
+./linux/in6.h:49:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6'
+./linux/in6.h:59:8: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq'
+
+The comments referencing glibc are still correct, but this file is not
+only used for glibc any more.

 Musl provides its own ethhdr struct definition. Add a guard to prevent
 its definition of the appropriate musl header has already been included.

-Subject: uapi/kernel.h: glibc specific inclusion of sysinfo.h
-
-including sysinfo.h from kernel.h makes no sense whatsoever,
-but removing it breaks glibc's userspace header,
-which includes kernel.h instead of sysinfo.h from their sys/sysinfo.h.
-this seems to be a historical mistake.
-on musl, including any header that uses kernel.h directly or indirectly
-plus sys/sysinfo.h will produce a compile error due to redefinition of
-struct sysinfo from sys/sysinfo.h.
-so for now, only include it on glibc or when including from kernel
-in order not to break their headers.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add additional uapi guards for Linux kernel header files
+
+With Linux kernel 4.15 it will be possible to guard more parts of the
+Linux header files from a libc. Make use of this in musl to guard all
+the structures and other definitions from the Linux header files which
+are also defined by the header files provided by musl. This will make
+musl compile with the unmodified Linux kernel user space headers.
+
+This extends the definitions done in commit 04983f227238 ("make
+netinet/in.h suppress clashing definitions from kernel headers")
+
+The needed patches were recently accepted for Linux 4.15:
