[Bug tapsets/6762] New: Some syscalls functions just wrappers for other syscalls

[wcohen at redhat dot com]

When looking through the results of the nightly tests on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 (2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 kernel) a number of the syscall.stp test failed:

FAIL: 64-bit access
FAIL: 64-bit chmod
FAIL: 64-bit forkwait
FAIL: 64-bit link
FAIL: 32-bit access
FAIL: 32-bit chmod
FAIL: 32-bit forkwait
FAIL: 32-bit link

Looking through the output found output like the following for the access test:

access: access ("foobar1", F_OK) = 
  access: faccessat (AT_FDCWD, "foobar1", F_OK) = 0
0

The sys_access function is just a wrapper for the sys_faccessat function. Thus,
the faccessat output occurs in the middle. This is not what users are expecting.

Look at 2.6.26 kernel also saw similar problems with sys_chmod and sys_creat.
