With that, new architectures only need to implement the fchmodat2 > syscall to cover all chmod variants. There's a difference though as fchmod() doesn't work with O_PATH file descriptors while AT_EMPTY_PATH does. Similar to how fchown() doesn't work with O_PATH file descriptors. However, we do allow AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchownat() so there's no reason to not allow it for fchmodat2(). But it's a bit of a shame that O_PATH looks less and less like O_PATH. It came from can-do-barely-anything to can-do-quite-a-lot-of-things over the years. In any case, AT_EMPTY_PATH for fchmodat2() can be an additional patch on top.
