Removed the compile-time Linux version check, and replaced it with a Cargo feature.
The Linux version check was overly restrictive, even on systems that did have the right kernel
version installed but had older headers in/usr/include/linux
. Beyond that, this check made it
more difficult to compile on a different host than what's targeted.There is now a
linux4_14
feature flag onuserfaultfd-sys
, which turns on and tests the extra
constants available in that version. Sinceuserfaultfd
did not make use of any of those newer
features, it doesn't have a feature flag yet.Applications should take care when initializing with
UffdBuilder
to specify the features and
ioctls they require, so that an unsupported version will be detected at runtime.
