    s390/compat: build error for large compat syscall args · 9a205286

    Enforce 32 bit types for all compat syscall argument types.
    
    This way we can make sure that all arguments get correct sign
    or zero extension. Otherwise incorrect code would be generated.
    
    E.g. for a 'long' type the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro wouldn't
    generate code that would cause sign extension of the passed in 32
    bit user space parameter.
    This can cause quite subtle bugs like e.g. the one that was fixed
    with dfd948e3 "fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat
    readv/writev syscalls".
