Hey David.
Is there some list of files that are more likely to
trigger this?
Maybe add a section like:
USERSPACE ABI/API INTERFACES
L: linux-api@vger.kernel.org
F: include/asm-generic/errno*.h
F: include/linux/capability.h
F: include/linux/compat.h
F: include/linux/syscalls.h
F: include/*/unistd.h
Maybe add some arch wildcards?
F: arch/*/include/asm/errno.h
F: arch/*/include/asm/unistd.h
Maybe add fs?
F: fs/compat*.c
There's probably a bunch of others.
Suggestions?
