klibc - Sep 2014 - pread and pwrite syscalls fix for 32bit arches, patch attached

Source: klibc
Version: 2.0.2
Severity: important
Tags: Patch

On the hppa arch (32bit userspace and 32 or 64bit kernel), the fstype program
fails to detect the filesystem.
The reason for this failure is, that fstype calls the pread() syscall, which has
on some architectures with 32bit userspace a different calling syntax.
I noticed this bug on hppa, but I assume s390 (32bit) and others might run into
similiar issues.

The attached bug fixes it for the hppa architecture.
It would be nice if you could apply it.

Thanks,
Helge
