OK, so it should be enough to change the syscall argument type from enum trusted_for_usage to int, but we can keep the UAPI with the enum (i.e. we don't need to change the value to #define TRUSTED_FOR_EXECUTION 1) right? > > >> diff --git a/include/linux/syscalls.h b/include/linux/syscalls.h >> index 528a478dbda8..c535e0e43cc8 100644 >> --- a/include/linux/syscalls.h >> +++ b/include/linux/syscalls.h >> @@ -462,6 +463,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(int fd, int mode, >> loff_t offset, loff_t len); >> asmlinkage long sys_faccessat(int dfd, const char __user *filename, >> int mode); >> asmlinkage long sys_faccessat2(int dfd, const char __user *filename, >> int mode, >> int flags); >> +asmlinkage long sys_trusted_for(int fd, enum trusted_for_usage usage, >> u32 flags); > > Same here. > >> asmlinkage long sys_chdir(const char __user *filename); >> asmlinkage long sys_fchdir(unsigned int fd); >> asmlinkage long sys_chroot(const char __user *filename); > > Thanks, > Alex > >
