Mark arguments to certain syscalls as being const
Mark arguments to certain system calls as being const where they should be but aren't. The list includes: (*) The filename arguments of various stat syscalls, execve(), various utimes syscalls and some mount syscalls. (*) The filename arguments of some syscall helpers relating to the above. (*) The buffer argument of various write syscalls. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: David S.

* execve(). This function needs to use IRET, not SYSRET, to set up all state properly.
*
* C extern interface:
- * extern long execve(char *name, char **argv, char **envp)
+ * extern long execve(const char *name, char **argv, char **envp)
*
* asm input arguments:
* rdi: name, rsi: argv, rdx: envp
*
* We want to fallback into:
- * extern long sys_execve(char *name, char **argv,char **envp, struct pt_regs *regs)
+ * extern long sys_execve(const char *name, char **argv,char **envp, struct pt_regs *regs)
*
* do_sys_execve asm fallback arguments:
* rdi: name, rsi: argv, rdx: envp, rcx: fake frame on the stack
