syscall, x/sys/unix: Select is not implemented on ppc64le

[zhsj]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.9 linux/ppc64le

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

yes, with go1.9

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""

What did you do?

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "syscall"
        "unsafe"
)

var nFdBits = uint(8 * unsafe.Sizeof(syscall.FdSet{}.Bits[0]))

func main() {
        fd := 11
        fs := &syscall.FdSet{}
        fs.Bits[uint(fd)/nFdBits] &= ^(1 << (uint(fd) % nFdBits))
        _, e := syscall.Select(fd+1, fs, nil, nil, &syscall.Timeval{Usec: 1})
        fmt.Println(e)
}

What did you expect to see?

I hope it print <nil> which is the result on amd64.

What did you see instead?

it prints function not implemented

BTW, gccgo works fine.

It looks like syscall.Select should be using the newselect system call. The runtime package appears to have been modified to work around this, but not the syscall package.

runtime:

#define SYS_select               82     // always return -ENOSYS
#define SYS_newselect           142

The x/sys/unix package looks like it is affected as well.

I'll have a fix for this shortly.

Change https://golang.org/cl/65090 mentions this issue: syscall: Update syscall.Select to use newselect

Change https://golang.org/cl/65091 mentions this issue: unix: update Select to use newselect on ppc64x

So I think the fix is merged and we can close this issue now
