execveat.2: Fix prototype
It's been 6 years since execveat(2) was added to the kernel, and there's still no glibc wrapper. Let's document the kernel syscall prototype. I reported a bug against glibc requesting a wrapper; when glibc adds the wrapper, this commit should probably be reverted. ...... .../linux$ grep_syscall execveat fs/exec.c:2062: SYSCALL_DEFINE5(execveat, int, fd, const char __user *, filename, const char __user *const __user *, argv, const char __user *const __user *, envp, int, flags) fs/exec.c:2083: COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE5(execveat, int, fd, const char __user *, filename, const compat_uptr_t __user *, argv, const compat_uptr_t __user *, envp, int, flags) include/linux/compat.h:815: asmlinkage long compat_sys_execveat(int dfd, const char __user *filename, const compat_uptr_t __user *argv, const compat_uptr_t __user *envp, int flags); include/linux/syscalls.h:980: asmlinkage long sys_execveat(int dfd, const char __user *filename, const char __user *const __user *argv, const char __user *const __user *envp, int flags); .../linux$ function grep_syscall() { if !
