Hi Dan,

Sorry if this has been causing you problems -- I've not had any
errors from the kbuild robots or my local builds.

That seems odd -- the generic definition of __NR_execveat is in the first
patch in the series, and the various x86-specific definitions should get
generated from the table entries in the second patch in the series (at
least since the v9 set I sent on 19 Nov, which split out the x86 wiring
from the general implementation).

Are the syscall table generation steps happening in your build? And does
__NR_execveat appear in the various generated x86 unistd*.h headers?

As an aside, I've just built next-20141124 (a4cfa44aa26a) fine from
scratch with your config steps. The build output included the header
generation steps:

SYSTBL arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h
SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_32_ia32.h
SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/unistd_64_x32.h
SYSTBL arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/asm/syscalls_64.h
SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h
HOSTCC scripts/basic/bin2c
SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h
SYSHDR arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h

and the resulting files did include the __NR_execveat constant:

% grep execveat usr/include/asm*/*.h arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/*.h
usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h:#define __NR_execveat 281
usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h:__SC_COMP(__NR_execveat,
sys_execveat, compat_sys_execveat)
usr/include/asm/unistd_32.h:#define __NR_execveat 358
usr/include/asm/unistd_64.h:#define __NR_execveat 322
usr/include/asm/unistd_x32.h:#define __NR_execveat (__X32_SYSCALL_BIT + 545)
arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h:#define __NR_execveat 358
arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_64.h:#define __NR_execveat 322
arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_x32.h:#define
__NR_execveat (__X32_SYSCALL_BIT + 545)

So I can't (yet) reproduce your problem I'm afraid...
