2010-06-25Add wait4() back to the set of <asm-generic/unistd.h> syscalls.Chris Metcalf
The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be easily expressed using waitid(). Although it's true that wait4() can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI. Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific syscalls at number 260.

2009-06-11asm-generic: add a generic unistd.hArnd Bergmann
A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system calls while still providing the full functionality. This version of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have a more featureful replacement. It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies the syscall number definition and the actual system call table in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more easily. This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the conversion.

2007-06-28Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARMDavid Woodhouse
Not all the world is an i386. Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an argument register for padding after the first integer. Since we don't normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for the final argument on some architectures. Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which all fits nicely. In fact, ARM already had that, but called it sys_arm_sync_file_range. Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement the needed compatibility routine. And stop the missing syscall check from bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented sys_sync_file_range2() instead. Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.

2007-05-02kbuild: complain about missing system callsSam Ravnborg
Most system calls seems to get added to i386 first. This patch automatically generates a warning for any new system call which is implemented on i386 but not the architecture currently being compiled. On PowerPC at the moment, for example, it results in these warnings: init/missing_syscalls.h:935:3: warning: #warning syscall sync_file_range not implemented init/missing_syscalls.h:947:3: warning: #warning syscall getcpu not implemented init/missing_syscalls.h:950:3: warning: #warning syscall epoll_pwait not implemented The file scripts/checksyscalls.sh list a number of legacy system calls that are ignored because they only makes sense on i386 systems.
