The new renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality provided by the
renameat syscall and adds flags, so future architectures won't need to
include renameat.

Therefore drop the renameat syscall from the generic syscall list unless
__ARCH_WANT_RENAMEAT is defined by the architecture's unistd.h prior to
including asm-generic/unistd.h, and adjust all architectures using the
generic syscall list to define it so that no in-tree architectures are
affected.

Is this the approach we want to take to keep the default syscall list
minimal? We could for example have made renameat2 use the renameat
syscall number for new arches, but it seemed best to leave a gap for new
arches to improve consistency of numbering.

This patch is a no-op for arches in tree, so there's no harm for this to
wait for the v3.16 merge window.

I should have read this one before replying to patch 2 ;-)

I think leaving the hole is best.

Sounds good. I guess I'll have to put this into my asm-generic tree
then, unless I can get the nios2 maintainers to pick it up.

If you don't mind, can you submit the first two patches to Linus
directly?

Okay, thanks.

It appears Miklos Szeredi beat me to it with patch 1 (adding renameat2
syscall to asm-generic unistd.h), and will be submitting it to Linus
at some point as part of his renameat2 series.
Miklos: Do you think it makes sense for you to include my second patch
in your series too since it's renameat2 related?
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=139824773305016&w=2

Otherwise I'm happy to take it or both patches for v3.15.

Cheers
James

I've queued up the first two patches with acks from Arnd.

Thanks,

Were you planning to send a pull request for your renameat2 patches for
v3.15?

Cheers
