Some comments on the interface: O_LARGEFILE can be unconditional, since offsets are not exposed to the caller. Use the openat2 style arguments; limit the accepted flags to sane ones (e.g. don't let this syscall create a file). If buffer is too small to fit the whole file, return error. Verify that the number of bytes read matches the file size, otherwise return error (may need to loop?). Thanks, Miklos
