Building system calls with clang results in a warning
about an alias from a global function to a static one:
../fs/namei.c:3847:1: warning: unused function '__se_sys_mkdirat' [-Wunused-function]
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(mkdirat, int, dfd, const char __user *, pathname, umode_t, mode)
^
../include/linux/syscalls.h:219:36: note: expanded from macro 'SYSCALL_DEFINE3'
#define SYSCALL_DEFINE3(name, ...) SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, _##name, __VA_ARGS__)
^
../include/linux/syscalls.h:228:2: note: expanded from macro 'SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
__SYSCALL_DEFINEx(x, sname, __VA_ARGS__)
^
../arch/s390/include/asm/syscall_wrapper.h:126:18: note: expanded from macro '__SYSCALL_DEFINEx'
asmlinkage long __se_sys##name(__MAP(x,__SC_LONG,__VA_ARGS__)) \
^
<scratch space>:31:1: note: expanded from here
__se_sys_mkdirat
^
The only reference to the static __se_sys_mkdirat() here is the alias, but
this only gets evaluated later. Making this function global as well avoids
the warning.

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.
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.
