Per arch/arm/kernel/sys_oabi-compat.c:
struct statfs64 has extra padding with EABI growing its size from
84 to 88. This struct is now __attribute__((packed,aligned(4)))
with a small assembly wrapper to force the sz argument to 84 if it is 88
to avoid copying the extra padding over user space unexpecting it.
This is the behaviour for both EABI and OABI on 32-bit arm, and thus we
must do the same for compat (and have done since day one of arm64).
I'll add a comment.
Thanks,
Mark.
