    [PATCH] fix ppc64 in kernel syscalls · cb0cd969

    Thanks to some great debugging work by Olaf Hering and Marcus Meissner
    it has been noticed that the current ppc64 syscall code is corrupting
    4 bytes past errno. Why we even bothered to set errno beats me, its
    unusable in the kernel.
    
    Since we had to reinstate the inline syscall code we can go back to
    using it for those few syscalls that we call. Especially now with
    Randy's syscall prototype cleanup we should be calling them directly
    but we can do that sometime later.
