I would instead explain why you need your own stat64 in the first place. > +int kernel_execve(const char *filename, > + const char *const argv[], > + const char *const envp[]) > +{ > + struct pt_regs regs; > + int ret; > + > + memset(®s, 0, sizeof(struct pt_regs)); > + ret = do_execve(filename, > + (const char __user *const __user *)argv, > + (const char __user *const __user *)envp, ®s); > + if (ret < 0) > + goto out; > + > + /* > + * Save argc to the register structure for userspace. > + */ > + regs.regs[0] = ret; > + > + /* > + * We were successful.

I can't find that now, but I think you should use that. > + > +asmlinkage long sys_mmap(unsigned long addr, unsigned long len, > + unsigned long prot, unsigned long flags, > + unsigned long fd, off_t off) > +{ > + if (offset_in_page(off) != 0) > + return -EINVAL; > + > + return sys_mmap_pgoff(addr, len, prot, flags, fd, off >> PAGE_SHIFT); > +} > + > +/* > + * Wrappers to pass the pt_regs argument. > + */ > +#define sys_execve sys_execve_wrapper > +#define sys_clone sys_clone_wrapper > +#define sys_rt_sigreturn sys_rt_sigreturn_wrapper > +#define sys_sigaltstack sys_sigaltstack_wrapper I think #define sys_mmap sys_mmap_pgoff would be more appropriate than defining your own sys_mmap function here. We should probably make that the default in asm-generic/unistd.h and change the architectures that have their own implementation to override it.
