Subject: [patch] powerpc systbl.h broken

Hi,

In current 2.6.23 (I have checked 2.6.23.12 and 2.6.23.9) the end of
include/asm-powerpc/systbl.h reads:

--snip--
SYSCALL_SPU(getcpu)
COMPAT_SYS(epoll_pwait)
COMPAT_SYS_SPU(utimensat)
COMPAT_SYS(fallocate)
COMPAT_SYS_SPU(signalfd)
COMPAT_SYS_SPU(timerfd)
SYSCALL_SPU(eventfd)
COMPAT_SYS_SPU(sync_file_range2)
--snap--

This obviously does not match the definitions in asm-powerpc/unistd.h:

--snip--
#define __NR_getcpu		302
#define __NR_epoll_pwait	303
#define __NR_utimensat		304
#define __NR_signalfd		305
#define __NR_timerfd		306
#define __NR_eventfd		307
#define __NR_sync_file_range2	308
#define __NR_fallocate		309
--snap--

which breaks the system calls 305 to 309 inclusive.

I've attached the simple patch which fixes the problem.

yours,
