As reported and suggested by Willy, the inline __sysret() helper
introduces three types of conversions and increases the size:
(1) the "unsigned long" argument to __sysret() forces a sign extension
from all sys_* functions that used to return 'int'
(2) the comparison with the error range now has to be performed on a
'unsigned long' instead of an 'int'
(3) the return value from __sysret() is a 'long' (note, a signed long)
which then has to be turned back to an 'int' before being returned by the
caller to satisfy the caller's prototype.
To fix up this, firstly, let's use macro instead of inline function to
preserves the input type and avoids these useless conversions (1), (3).
Secondly, comparison to -MAX_ERRNO inflicts on all integer returns where
we could previously keep a simple sign comparison, let's use a new
is_signed_type() macro from include/linux/compiler.h to limit the
comparision to -MAX_ERRNO (2) only on demand and preserves a simple sign
comparision for most of the cases as before.
Thirdly, fix up the following warning by an explicit conversion and let
__sysret() be able to accept the (void *) type of argument:
sysroot/powerpc/include/sys.h: In function 'sbrk':
sysroot/powerpc/include/sys.h:104:16: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
104 | return (void *)__sysret(-ENOMEM);
Fourthly, to further workaround the argument type with 'const', must use
__auto_type in a new enough version or use 'long' as before.
Here reports the size testing result with nolibc-test:
before:
// ppc64le
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27916 8 80 28004 6d64 nolibc-test
// mips
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
23276 64 64 23404 5b6c nolibc-test
after:
// ppc64le
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27736 8 80 27824 6cb0 nolibc-test
// mips
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
23036 64 64 23164 5a7c nolibc-test

v2 here is further fix up argument with 'const' in the type and also
support "void *" argument, v1 is [1].
Tested on many architectures (i386, x86_64, mips, ppc64) and gcc version
(from gcc 4.8-13.1.0), compiles well without any warning and errors and
also with smaller size.

With nolibc-test, we did more tests.
for ppc64le (long better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27736 8 80 27824 6cb0 nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27612 8 80 27700 6c34 nolibc-test
for ppc64 (long better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27136 1880 80 29096 71a8 nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
27012 1880 80 28972 712c nolibc-test
A further test on x86_64 (__auto_type better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
22206 8 88 22302 571e nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
22347 8 88 22443 57ab nolibc-test
And i386 (almost the same):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
19718 4 52 19774 4d3e nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
19717 4 52 19773 4d3d nolibc-test
arm64 (__auto_type better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
25764 8 80 25852 64fc nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
26004 8 80 26092 65ec nolibc-test
arm (the same):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
19595 0 52 19647 4cbf nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
19595 0 52 19647 4cbf nolibc-test
riscv64 (__auto_type better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
21814 8 80 21902 558e nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
21912 8 80 22000 55f0 nolibc-test
s390 (__auto_type better):
// __auto_type
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
22302 0 80 22382 576e nolibc-test
// long
$ size nolibc-test
text data bss dec hex filename
22438 0 80 22518 57f6 nolibc-test
As a summary, in nolibc-test, for 32-bit architectures, __auto_type has the
same as long, for 64-bit architecture, __auto_type has less size than long,
only ppc64/ppc64le has reverse result.
