epoll_create2() is needed to accept EPOLL_USERPOLL flags
and size, i.e. this patch wires up polling from userspace.

Could you add the system call to all syscall*.tbl files at the same time here?

For all other archs, you mean?  Sure.  But what is the rule of thumb?
Sometimes people tend to add to the most common x86 and other tables
are left untouched, but then you commit the rest, e.g.

We only recently introduced syscall.tbl files in a common format,
which makes it much easier to add new ones. I hope we can
do it for all architectures right away from now on.

I just noticed that the new mount API assigns six new system
calls as well, but did not use the same numbers across
architectures. I hope we can still rectify that before -rc1
and use the next available ones (428..433), then yours should
be 434 on all architectures, with the exception of arch/alpha.

I thought the preferred approach was to wire up the architectures on
which the submitter has tested the syscall, then allow the arch
maintainers to enable the syscall independently?

And to help them in this, provide a test suite for the new syscall
under tools/testing/selftests/.

https://github.com/rouming/test-tools/blob/master/userpolled-epoll.c
will certainly help but I do think it would be better to move the test
into the kernel tree to keep it maintained and so that many people run
it in their various setups on an ongoing basis.

Yes, on a next iteration I will add the tool to selftests. Thanks.

I'm hoping to change that practice now, as it has not worked well
in the past:

- half the architectures now use asm-generic/unistd.h, so they are
  already wired up at the same time, regardless of testing
- in the other half, not adding them at the same time actually
  made it harder to test, as it was significantly harder to figure
  out how to build a modified kernel for a given architecture
  than to run the test case
- Not having all architectures add a new call at the same time caused
  the architectures to get out of sync when some got added and others
  did not. Now that we use the same numbers across all architectures,
  that would be even more confusing.

My plan for the long run is to only have one file to which new
system calls get added in the future.

No disagreement on that.

Fair enough.  We're adding code to architectures without having tested
it on those architectures but we do that all the time anyway - I guess
there's not a lot of point in special-casing new syscalls.
