It appears that newer glibcs check that openat(O_CREAT) was provided a
fourth argument (rather than passing garbage), resulting in the
following build error:
> In file included from /usr/include/fcntl.h:301,
> from helpers.c:9:
> In function 'openat',
> inlined from 'touchat' at helpers.c:49:11:

> or O_TMPFILE in third argument needs 4 arguments

Test all of the various openat2(2) flags. A small stress-test of a
symlink-rename attack is included to show that the protections against
".."-based attacks are sufficient.
The main things these self-tests are enforcing are:
* The struct+usize ABI for openat2(2) and copy_struct_from_user() to
ensure that upgrades will be handled gracefully (in addition,
ensuring that misaligned structures are also handled correctly).
* The -EINVAL checks for openat2(2) are all correctly handled to avoid
userspace passing unknown or conflicting flag sets (most
importantly, ensuring that invalid flag combinations are checked).
* All of the RESOLVE_* semantics (including errno values) are
correctly handled with various combinations of paths and flags.
* RESOLVE_IN_ROOT correctly protects against the symlink rename(2)
attack that has been responsible for several CVEs (and likely will
be responsible for several more).
