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).

1, IMO, the fatal error "regfree: not a register" from 5g when
compiling runtime/debug.go is due to gcc miscompile, it doesn't
show up when compiled with -O0. But I still haven't thought of
a way to fix this, should all ARM builds be built with -O0?
2, fixed mksysnum_linux.pl, so zsysnum_linux_arm.go no longer
needs to be hand-generated.
3, regen all in pkg syscall for Linux/ARM on Debian 6.0
This CL is somewhat big, I'd like to split it if necessary.

did darwin on mac with older, not broken xcode.
did linux arm by copying diffs from linux 386.
did freebsd amd64 by copying diffs from freebsd 386.

Note that, while the final argument of mount(2) is a void*, in
practice all filesystem implementations treat it as a string
of comma-separated mount options.

The published interface is the simple version of the syscall,
allowing all reboot functions except for the esoteric
LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_RESTART2.

parsing and printing to new syntax.
Use -oldparser to parse the old syntax,
use -oldprinter to print the old syntax.
2) Change default gofmt formatting settings
to use tabs for indentation only and to use
spaces for alignment. This will make the code
alignment insensitive to an editor's tabwidth.
Use -spaces=false to use tabs for alignment.
3) Manually changed src/exp/parser/parser_test.go
so that it doesn't try to parse the parser's
source files using the old syntax (they have
new syntax now).
4) gofmt -w src misc test/bench
4th set of files.
