Hi, Thomas

I have manually applied your patch on v6.4, enabled MEMFD_CREATE (and disabled
TMPFS and HUGETLBFS) for 3 randomly selected virtual boards:

- arm/vexpress-a9
- aarch64/virt
- mipsel/malta

For all of the above boards, the current vfprintf test (uses
memfd_create) of tools/testing/selftests/nolibc/nolibc-test.c passes
without any failure:

    Running test 'vfprintf'
    0 emptymemfd_create() without MFD_EXEC nor MFD_NOEXEC_SEAL, pid=1 'init'
     "" = ""                                                  [OK]
    1 simple "foo" = "foo"                                           [OK]
    2 string "foo" = "foo"                                           [OK]
    3 number "1234" = "1234"                                         [OK]
    4 negnumber "-1234" = "-1234"                                    [OK]
    5 unsigned "12345" = "12345"                                     [OK]
    6 char "c" = "c"                                                 [OK]
    7 hex "f" = "f"                                                  [OK]
    8 pointer "0x1" = "0x1"                                          [OK]
    Errors during this test: 0

If this test result is ok for you, here is my:
