[PATCH] x86: always use SYSCALL_DEFINE*

From: Tautschnig, Michael <hidden>
Date: 2018-03-10 20:55:54
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

All syscall arguments are passed in as types of the same byte size as
unsigned long (width of full registers). Using a smaller type without a
cast may result in losing bits of information. SYSCALL_DEFINE* introduce
adequate type casts. All definitions of syscalls in x86 except for those
patched here have already been using the appropriate SYSCALL_DEFINE*.
