Unlike normal compat syscall variants, it is needed only for biarch architectures that have different alignement requirements for u64 in 32bit and 64bit ABI *and* have __put_user() that won't handle a store of 64bit value at 32bit-aligned address. We used to have one such (ia64), but its biarch support has been gone since 2010 (after being broken in 2008, which went unnoticed since nobody had been using it). It had escaped removal at the same time only because back in 2004 a patch that switched several syscalls on amd64 from private wrappers to generic compat ones had switched to use of compat_sys_getdents64(), which hadn't needed (or used) a compat wrapper on amd64. Let's bury it - it's at least 7 years overdue. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
