Re: [PATCH v2] riscv: add asm/unistd.h UAPI header

Hello David,

ÎÏÎÏ 2018-11-08 21:02, David Abdurachmanov ÎÎÏÎÏÎ:
Marcin Juszkiewicz reported issues while generating syscall table for riscv
using 4.20-rc1. The patch refactors our unistd.h files to match some other
architectures.

- Add asm/unistd.h UAPI header, which has __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT only for 64-bit
- Remove asm/syscalls.h UAPI header and merge to asm/unistd.h
- Adjust kernel asm/unistd.h

So now asm/unistd.h UAPI header should show all syscalls for riscv.

Before this, Makefile simply put `#include <asm-generic/unistd.h>` into
generated asm/unistd.h UAPI header thus user didn't see:

- __NR_riscv_flush_icache
- __NR_newfstatat
- __NR_fstat

which are supported by riscv kernel.

You are copying content from arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/syscalls.h to
arch/riscv/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h without keeping the copyright of
the original contributor (in this case SiFive). Also since you use
SPDX-License-Identifier, you don't have to put the GPLv2 preamble there.

Other than that I can also verify that this patch fixes compilation for RV32.

Nick
