At least for glibc, this is easy. And I suppose, uclibc will do it a
similar way.
<sched.h> has to define the macro CPU_ALLOC(). And it has to be usable
by just including <sched.h>. In musl, CPU_ALLOC() is defined in terms of
calloc(). In order for CPU_ALLOC() to be usable, calloc() must be
declared in <sched.h> as well. However, including <stdlib.h> from
<sched.h> would add a lot more names to the namespace than simply
redeclaring the functions. So that's why there's a calloc() prototype in
musl's <sched.h>.
In glibc, CPU_ALLOC() is defined in terms of __sched_cpualloc(). Which
is probably just a wrapper around the normal allocators, but it gets
<sched.h> out of having to declare the allocator functions. So no
calloc() prototype in glibc's <sched.h>, and thus the above hack works
in glibc. But only by accident.
Ciao,
