The statx manpage [1] shows that it has been supported from Linux 4.11
and glibc 2.28, the Linux support can be checked for all of the
architectures with this command:
$ git grep -r statx v4.11 arch/ include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h \
| grep -E "aarch64|arm|mips|s390|x86|:include/uapi"
Besides riscv and loongarch, all of the nolibc supported architectures
have added sys_statx from Linux v4.11. riscv is mainlined to v4.15,
loongarch is mainlined to v5.19, both of them use the generic unistd.h,
so, they have added sys_statx from their first mainline versions.
The current oldest stable branch is v4.14, only reserving sys_statx
still preserves compatibility with all of the supported stable branches,
So, let's remove the old arch related and dependent sys_stat support
completely.
This is friendly to the future new architecture porting.

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.
