Kubernetes recently added https://github.com/pkg/sftp as a dependency. The sftp package uses the X__val member in the Fsid struct which we currently replace with _ on s390x using mkpost.go.

The usage is here: https://github.com/pkg/sftp/blob/8197a2e580736b78d704be0fc47b2324c0591a32/server_statvfs_linux.go#L19.

Since this variable is used on other architectures we should expose it so that sftp will compile (although it may need an endianness fix too). I will send a CL.

They should just not use the built-in syscall package.

Also, that field is kinda disgusting and the comment is very encouraging:

  Fsid:  uint64(uint64(stat.Fsid.X__val[1])<<32 | uint64(stat.Fsid.X__val[0])), // endianness?

Do they even need that field? They don't seem to know what it even is.

Deleting that line might be a better fix?

You have to love the statfs man page on GNU/Linux: "Nobody knows what f_fsid is supposed to contain."

But it does go on to say "The general idea is that f_fsid contains some random stuff such that the pair (f_fsid,ino) uniquely determines a file."

syscall: export Fsid.X__val on s390x
0642b8a 
mkpost.go replaces all variables prefixed with 'X_' with '_' on s390x
because most of them do not need to be exposed. X__val is being used
by a third party library so it turns out we do need to expose it on
s390x (it is already exposed on all other Linux architectures).

Fixes #17298 and updates #18632.
