From: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxx> On the userspace side fchmodat(3) is implemented as a wrapper function which implements the POSIX-specified interface. This interface differs from the underlying kernel system call, which does not have a flags argument. Most implementations require procfs [1][2]. There doesn't appear to be a good userspace workaround for this issue but the implementation in the kernel is pretty straight-forward. The new fchmodat4() syscall allows to pass the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag, unlike existing fchmodat.
