The change you suggest below is what I originally sent at the end of
December, but that chunk was lost after one of numerous rebases probably.

IIRC, the only difference between this couple of syscalls and their
compat versions is that non-compat syscalls set O_LARGEFILE depending
on (BITS_PER_LONG != 32). Next patch of this series introduces
ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T config option to force O_LARGEFILE for 64-bit arches,
and all new 32-bit arches, as ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T is enabled for existing
32-bit arches explicitly.

O_LARGEFILE is controlled like this:
        -#define force_o_largefile() (BITS_PER_LONG != 32)
        +#define force_o_largefile() (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T))

So if I restore original patch, everything will work. But my question
is: if ARCH_32BIT_OFF_T disables O_LARGEFILE for tile32 anyway, what
for we redirect native syscall handlers to compat ones? They are
looking identical...

If my understanding is correct, we can drop the change in
arch/tile/kernel/compat.c and join this patch with next one in this
series.

Chris, Arnd?
