[PATCH v2 3/4] tools/nolibc: always pass mode to open syscall

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Thu May 14 2026 - 08:06:06 EST


When O_TMPFILE is set, the open mode needs to be passed to the kernel as
per the documentation. Currently this is not done.
Instead of checking for O_TMPFILE explicitly and making the conditionals
more complex, just always pass the mode to the kernel. If no value was
passed the mode will be garbage, but the kernel will ignore it anyways.

Fixes: a7604ba149e7 ("tools/nolibc/sys: make open() take a vararg on the 3rd argument")
