posix: Implement preadv2 and pwritev2
This patch adds support of preadv2 and pwritev2 which are similar to
preadv/pwritev but with an extra flag argument. As for preadv/pwritev
both interfaces are added a non-standard GNU API.
For default 'posix' implementation trying to emulate the Linux supported
flags is troublesome:
* We can not temporary change the file state of the O_DSYNC and O_SYNC
flags to emulate RWF_{D}SYNC (attempts to change the state of using
fcntl are silently ignored).
* IOCB_HIPRI requires the file opened in O_DIRECT and uses an internal
semantic not provided by any other flag (O_NONBLOCK for instance).
So default sysdeps/posix implementations fails with EOPNOTSUPP for any non
supported flag (which are none currently) calls generic preadv/pwritev.
Basically this implementation supports only preadv2 called as preadv (with
flags sets to 0).
The Linux one uses the preadv2/pwritev2 syscall if defined, otherwise it
call preadv/writev. Instead of using the previous __ASSUME_* to
unconditionally issue the syscall (and avoid building the fallback routine),
it call pread/write if the preadv2/pwritev2 syscalls fails. The idea
is just avoid adding another __ASSUME_* and checking each architecture
on every kernel bump and simplify code conditionals.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and on i686-linux-gnu and a check with
run-built-tests=no on aarch64-linux-gnu, alpha-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf,
ia64-linux-gnu, m68k-linux-gnu, microblaze-linux-gnu, mips{64,64n32}-linux-gnu,
nios2-linux-gnu, powerpc{64,64le}-linux-gnu, s390{x}-linux-gnu,
sparc{64,v9}-linux-gnu, tile{gx,pro}-linux-gnu, and sh4-linux-gnu (all using
gcc 6.3).
