Subject: [PATCH 2/4] test: Use syscall in case of no execveat() wrapper
Date: Mon,  6 Oct 2025 17:57:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251006215726.8893-2-eugene.loh@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251006215726.8893-1-eugene.loh@oracle.com>

From: Eugene Loh <eugene.loh@oracle.com>

While execveat() appeared in kernel 3.19, GNU C library support
came later.  We are still testing on some systems with older libc.

Do not assume libc has an execveat() wrapper:  use syscall().
