[PATCH] powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate

[PATCH] powerpc: Add compat_sys_truncate

[Chase Douglas]

The truncate syscall has a signed long parameter, so when using a 32- 
bit userspace with a 64-bit kernel the argument is zero-extended  
instead of sign-extended. Adding the compat_sys_truncate function  
fixes the issue.

This was noticed during an LSB truncate test failure. The test was  
checking for the correct error number set when truncate is called with  
a length of -1. The test can be found at:

Hi Chase !

Unfortunately, your patch have been mangled by your mailer
our your mail gateway in about every possible way (word
wrapped, tabs and whitespace damaged etc...)

I'll hand apply this time around but please, look into
fixing your setup :-)

Cheers,
Ben.

Sorry about that! I made sure my mailer (OS X's Mail) sent it as plain  
text, but I don't know of any settings for specifying line width or  
white space handling. I'll have to do some more digging or use a  
different mailer for patches.

Thanks,
Chase

I'm sure you can find somebody else using OS X who can help :-)

I've also heard there may be a problem with our vnet servers but
I don't know for sure.

Cheers,
Ben.
