+missing_syscall: when adding syscall replacements, use different names (
+
+#8229)
+
+In meson.build we check that functions are available using:
+    meson.get_compiler('c').has_function('foo')
+which checks the following:
+- if __stub_foo or __stub___foo are defined, return false
+- if foo is declared (a pointer to the function can be taken), return true
+- otherwise check for __builtin_memfd_create
+
+_stub is documented by glibc as
+   It defines a symbol '__stub_FUNCTION' for each function
+   in the C library which is a stub, meaning it will fail
+   every time called, usually setting errno to ENOSYS.
+
+So if __stub is defined, we know we don't want to use the glibc version, but
+this doesn't tell us if the name itself is defined or not. If it _is_ defined,
+and we define our replacement as an inline static function, we get an error:
+
+In file included from ../src/basic/missing.h:1358:0,
+                 from ../src/basic/util.h:47,
+                 from ../src/basic/calendarspec.h:29,
+                 from ../src/basic/calendarspec.c:34:
+../src/basic/missing_syscall.h:65:19: error: static declaration of 'memfd_create' follows non-static declaration
+ static inline int memfd_create(const char *name, unsigned int flags) {
+                   ^~~~~~~~~~~~
+.../usr/include/bits/mman-shared.h:46:5: note: previous declaration of 'memfd_create' was here
+ int memfd_create (const char *__name, unsigned int __flags) __THROW;
+     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To avoid this problem, call our inline functions different than glibc,
+and use a #define to map the official name to our replacement.
+
+Fixes #8099.
+
+v2:
+- use "missing_" as the prefix instead of "_"
+
+v3:
+- rebase and update for statx()
+
+  Unfortunately "statx" is also present in "struct statx", so the define
+  causes issues. Work around this by using a typedef.
+
+I checked that systemd compiles with current glibc
+(glibc-devel-2.26-24.fc27.x86_64) if HAVE_MEMFD_CREATE, HAVE_GETTID,
+HAVE_PIVOT_ROOT, HAVE_SETNS, HAVE_RENAMEAT2, HAVE_KCMP, HAVE_KEYCTL,
+HAVE_COPY_FILE_RANGE, HAVE_BPF, HAVE_STATX are forced to 0.
+
+Setting HAVE_NAME_TO_HANDLE_AT to 0 causes an issue, but it's not because of
+the define, but because of struct file_handle.
