Pull asm-generic fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
"There are two more changes to the syscall.tbl conversion: the
'__NR_newfstat' in the previous bugfix was a mistake and gets reverted
now, after triple-checking that the contents are now back to what they
were on all architectures. The __NR_nfsservctl definition is not
really needed but came up in the same discussion as it had previously
been defined in uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h and tested for in user
space.
There are a few more symbols that used to be defined in the old
unistd.h file, but that are never defined on any other architecture
using syscall.tbl format. These used to be needed inside of the
kernel:
__NR_syscalls
__NR_arch_specific_syscall
__NR3264_*
Searching for these on https://codesearch.debian.net/ shows a few
packages (rustc, golang, clamav, libseccomp, librsvg, strace) that
duplicate all the macros from asm/unistd.h, but nothing that actually
uses the macros, so I concluded that they are fine to omit after all"
* tag 'asm-generic-fixes-6.11-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic:
syscalls: add back legacy __NR_nfsservctl macro
syscalls: fix fstat() entry again
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
