CL 3075041 says ARM is not little-endian, but my test suggests otherwise.
My test program is:
package main
import ("fmt"; "syscall"; "os")
func main() {
err := syscall.Fallocate(1, 1/*FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE*/, 0, int64(40960));
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
}
Without this CL, ./test > testfile will show: file too large; and strace shows:
fallocate(1, 01, 0, 175921860444160) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
With this CL, ./test > testfile will show: <nil>; and strace shows:
fallocate(1, 01, 0, 40960) = 0
Quoting rsc:
"[It turns out that] ARM syscall ABI requires 64-bit arguments to use an
(even, odd) register pair, not an (odd, even) pair. Switching to "big-endian"
worked because it ended up using the high 32-bits (always zero in the tests
we had) as the padding word, because the 64-bit argument was the last one,
and because we fill in zeros for the rest of the system call arguments, up to
six. So it happened to work."
I updated mksyscall_linux.pl to accommodate the register pair ABI requirement,
and removed all hand-tweaked syscall routines in favor of the auto-generated
ones. These including: Ftruncate, Truncate, Pread and Pwrite.
Some recent Linux/ARM distributions do not bundle kernel asm headers,
so instead we always get latest asm/unistd.h from git.kernel.org (just like
what we do for FreeBSD).

Not all syscalls are implemented, but many are. On the suggestion
of Joel Sing <jsing@google.com>, the generated files were added
with hg add instead of hg cp, since they are generated on an OS
dependant basis.

Move the existing darwin/freebsd specific nametomib implementation
into the respective operating system dependent files.
Provide a nametomib implementation for openbsd, which operates on a
sysctl MIB that has been pre-generated from the various system headers
by mksysctl_openbsd.pl.

Add openbsd 386 syscall support, partially based on the existing
freebsd 386 syscall implementation.
FTR zerrors_openbsd_386.go cannot currently be completely built on
openbsd/i386 due to what appears to be a gcc bug. The constants can be
successfully generated with -m32 on openbsd/amd64 and the error
table can then be generated on openbsd/i386.

Add support for syscalls on openbsd amd64. This is based on the
existing freebsd amd64 implementation.

The ptrace syscall remains gutted on darwin, but usable. This
also makes the syscall addition process reproducible on darwin
instead of relying on a file path in rsc's home directory.
I've also removed an override of $PATH in env.bash that made
tooling harder.

* tweak mksyscall*.pl to be more gofmt-compatible.
* add mkall.sh -syscalls option.
* add sys/mman.h constants on OS X

work on FreeBSD even without /usr/src/sys.
work on systems where gcc -static is broken.
TBR so I can test my semi-automated z builder.

- mkall now generates syscall stabs automatically
- we can call unicode versions of winapi now
- introduce GetErrstr function to fetch error text given errno
- general cleanup

* rename PORT.sh -> mkall.sh (hopefully more obvious),
change behavior: run commands by default.
* pull more constants out of #defines automatically,
instead of editing large lists by hand.
* add Recvfrom, Sendto
add os.O_EXCL.
