Hello Dan,

Yes you are correct this is an attempt to limit any regressions on other
platforms. I had originally backported the full patch from upstream
(comment #5) which also include other syscalls, but after a discussion
with @racb it was decided that it would be safer to only backport the
fchmodat2 syscall and only for the affected platforms. Although the
regression potential is very small since glibc on jammy does not make
use of these syscalls (they didnt exist when jammy was released), we
decided that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Hope this clarify things! If you would like me to include all
architecture, I can rewrite the patch! We currently know of only two
architectures that are affected (arm and ppc64le) and that x86/amd64 is
not one of them.

Regards,
Ghadi
