The __NR_fstat and __NR_newfstatat symbols are only defined by
the kernel if __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT is set, which should not be
by the time the kernel port is merged. Instead, user space should
call statx() here, which continues to be supported as a superset.
The statfs/fstatfs system calls are unrelated and can be used, the proposed
fsinfo() system call that was meant as a replacement has never made
it in

Yes, that works for me, I only care about the ABI issues: we have to
ensure that the kernel interfaces in the upstream musl port are
the same ones that are used in the upstream kernel port, to avoid
breaking applications built on these after everything is upstream.
(We can break compatibility with existing non-upstream user space
for the moment, which is the point of this review).
Any implementation details within musl that do not impact the ABI
can come later. I mainly pointed out these three because I expected
them to already have generic code in musl, given that the kernel does
not require architecture specific definitions for these. If you have custom
definitions, that introduces a certain risk that these correspond to an
earlier private kernel version of yours rather than what will become
the official port.
