commit 30766f1105d6d2459c3b9fe34a3e52b637a72950 upstream. The unusual function calling conventions on SuperH ended up causing sync_file_range to have the wrong argument order, with the 'flags' argument getting sorted before 'nbytes' by the compiler. In userspace, I found that musl, glibc, uclibc and strace all expect the normal calling conventions with 'nbytes' last, so changing the kernel to match them should make all of those work. In order to be able to also fix libc implementations to work with existing kernels, they need to be able to tell which ABI is used. An easy way to do this is to add yet another system call using the sync_file_range2 ABI that works the same on all architectures. Old user binaries can now work on new kernels, and new binaries can try the new sync_file_range2() to work with new kernels or fall back to the old sync_file_range() version if that doesn't exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
