+Subject: [PATCH] linux-user: Check if RESOLVE_CACHED flag is defined before
+ using it
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/commit/7ac4bded6af90a15a9562515743a789236b062d1]
+
+openat2.h was introduced in Linux kernel 5.6. However, RESOLVE_CACHED
+flag was only added in kernel 5.12 and later. Therefore, we need to check
+if RESOLVE_CACHED flag is defined before using it.
