Let's pass a vararg to open() so that it remains compatible with existing code. The arg is only dereferenced when flags contain O_CREAT. The function is generally not inlined anymore, causing an extra call (total 16 extra bytes) but it's still optimized for constant propagation, limiting the excess to no more than 16 bytes in practice when open() is called without O_CREAT, and ~40 with O_CREAT, which remains reasonable.

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 Restructured Text 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.
