The __NR_fstatfs64 syscall is supported on all architectures but aarch64, mips64, riscv64, and x86_64. And newer ABIs also uses the new fstatfs64 interface (where the struct size is used as first argument). So the default implementation now uses: 1. __NR_fstatfs64 for non-LFS call and handle overflow directly There is no need to handle __NR_fstatfs since all architectures that only support are LFS only. 2. __NR_fstatfs if defined or __NR_fstatfs64 otherwise for LFS call. Alpha is the only outlier, it is a 64-bit architecture which provides non-LFS interface and only provides __NR_fstatfs64 on newer kernels (5.1+). Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls. For example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD. This hierarchy provides all those implementations. It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided. Note that newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
