32-bit ABIs support passing 64-bit integers by registers via argument
translation. Commit 59c10c52f5 ("riscv: compat: syscall: Add
compat_sys_call_table implementation") implements the compat_arg_u64
macro for efficiently defining little endian compatibility syscalls.
Architectures supporting big endianness may benefit from reciprocal
argument translation, but are welcome also to implement their own.

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.
