Gaah. While I have an arm64 laptop now, I don't do arm64 builds in
between each pull like I do x86 ones.
I *did* just start one, because I got the arm64 pull request.
And this fails the arm64 build, because __NR_statmount and
__NR_listmount (457 and 458 respectively) exceed the compat system
call array size, which is
arch/arm64/include/asm/unistd.h:
#define __NR_compat_syscalls 457
I don't think this is a merge error, I think the error is there in the
original, but I'm about to go off and have dinner, so I'm just sending
this out for now.
How was this not noted in linux-next? Am I missing something?
Now, admittedly this looks like an easy mistake to make due to that
whole odd situation where the compat system calls are listed in
unistd32.h, but then the max number is in unistd.h, but I would still
have expected this to have raised flags before it hit my tree..
