Ah, I see: it's marked x32-only, so arch/x86/entry/syscall_x32.c
uses the __x32 prefix instead of the __x64 one. Marking it 'common'
instead would make it work, but also create an extra entry point
for native processes, something that commit
6365b842aae4 ("x86/syscalls: Split the x32 syscalls into their own table")
was trying to avoid.
