There are 4 patches in this series. 1) syscall: Add io_uring syscall functions We have: man 2 io_uring_setup; man 2 io_uring_enter; man 2 io_uring_register; Those entries say that io_uring syscall functions are declared in ``. But they don't actually exist and never existed. This is causing confusion for people who read the manpage. Let's just implement them in liburing so they exist. This also allows the user to invoke io_uring syscalls directly instead of using the full liburing provided setup. 2) Clarify "man 2" entry for io_uring. io_uring_enter(), io_uring_register(), io_uring_setup() are not declared in `` and never were. Plus, these functions don't intentionally set the `errno` variable. Reflect this fact in the manpage. Side note: On architectures other than x86, x86-64, and aarch64, those functions _do_ set the `errno`, this is because the syscall is done via libc as we don't yet have nolibc support for the mentioned archs. Users should not rely on this behavior. 3) man: Alias `io_uring_enter2()` to `io_uring_enter()`. We have a new function io_uring_enter2(), add the man page entry for it by aliasing it to io_uring_enter(). This aliased man entry has already explained it. 4) test/io_uring_{enter,setup,register}: Use the exported syscall functions. These tests use the internal definition of __sys_io_uring* functions. A previous commit exported new functions that do the same thing with those __sys_io_uring* functions. Test the exported functions instead of the internal functions. No functional change is intended.
