There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for working on this.
You you perhaps update the test/unistd/access.c test to cover this new code?
The assertion in __syscall_faccessat only allowed AT_EACCESS, causing a crash when AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW was passed (e.g. by GLib's g_local_file_query_exists which uses AT_EACCESS | AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW). Accept AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and use it to control whether symlinks are followed during the path lookup.
