Merge fuckup; mine ;-/ FWIW, the corresponding part in my branch (in 3d0e354e4e51) is

-asmlinkage long sys32_truncate64(const char __user * path, unsigned long high, unsigned long low)
+COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(truncate64, const char __user *, path, u32, high, u32, low)
{
- if ((int)high < 0)
- return -EINVAL;
- else
- return sys_truncate(path, (high << 32) | low);
+ return sys_truncate(path, ((u64)high << 32) | low);
}

linux-next resolution is the right one -
git diff v4.16..HEAD -- arch/sparc/kernel/sys_sparc32.c
gives
-asmlinkage long sys32_truncate64(const char __user * path, unsigned long high, unsigned long low)
+COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(truncate64, const char __user *, path, u32, high, u32, low)
{
- if ((int)high < 0)
- return -EINVAL;
- else
- return sys_truncate(path, (high << 32) | low);
+ return ksys_truncate(path, ((u64)high << 32) | low);
}
etc. in there. Again, my apologies.
