[PATCH] arm: wire up userfaultfd and membarrier syscalls

[PATCH] arm: wire up userfaultfd and membarrier syscalls

[Andre Przywara]

Add the syscall numbers to the ARM syscall table. Both have
been briefly tested using the provided selftests from the tools
directory.

Hi Russell,

I saw that Thierry sent something similar beginning of August already
(which is now outdated), is there any issue with enabling syscalls?

Cheers,
Andre.

The only issue there is is that this was mentioned last week, and I
replied about it last week.

I already have a patch pending for it, but I've been unable to merge
it into mainline as my tree became somewhat messy due to the fixes
missing -rc1 - which meant that my fixes branch was not recent enough
to take that patch.  Now that those fixes are in, I can now start
sorting my tree out, as I'd normally do after -rc1.

I missed that because I only looked in the ARM kernel ML, sorry about that.

Fair enough and sorry for the noise.

It should be in tonights linux-next.
