Arnd Bergmann bf4b6a7d37 y2038: Remove stat64 family from default syscall set
New architectures should no longer need stat64, which is not y2038
safe and has been replaced by statx(). This removes the 'select
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64' statement from asm-generic/unistd.h and instead
moves it into the respective asm/unistd.h UAPI header files for each
architecture that uses it today.

In the generic file, the system call number and entry points are now
made conditional, so newly added architectures (e.g. riscv32 or csky)
will never need to carry backwards compatiblity for it.

arm64 is the only 64-bit architecture using the asm-generic/unistd.h
file, and it already sets __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT in its headers, and I
use the same #ifdef here: future 64-bit architectures therefore won't
see newstat or stat64 any more. They don't suffer from the y2038 time_t
overflow, but for consistency it seems best to also let them use statx().

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
