uh, you broke fstat.  plain fact.  it's still broken
for non-root users on KALSR kernels.

doesn't matter if it wasn't _meant_ to be broken or if
you were working to an agreed plan.  fstat was broken,
and your changes broke it.  at least for most users it
has been restored to functional.

accept that your plan broke something, and we need to
work more to both get security and usability, and stop
making your own accusations.
