ARM: reserve syscall 378 for kcmp

2012-09-21T16:56:25+00:00

kcmp has appeared on x86, but has not been noticed because
checksyscalls.sh is broken at the moment.  Reserve ARM syscall 378
for this should we ever need it, and add an __IGNORE entry for this
unimplemented syscall.

ARM: wire up process_vm_writev and process_vm_readv syscalls

2011-11-17T16:58:00+00:00

These two syscalls were introduced during the last merge window.
Add the entries into the ARM call tables for them.

All Arch: remove linkage for sys_nfsservctl system call

2011-08-26T22:09:58+00:00

The nfsservctl system call is now gone, so we should remove all
linkage for it.

Merge branch 'setns'

2011-05-28T17:51:01+00:00

* setns:
  ns: Wire up the setns system call

Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call

ns: Wire up the setns system call

2011-05-28T17:48:39+00:00

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano 
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman 
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

ARM: add sendmmsg syscall

2011-05-26T11:12:13+00:00

Commit 228e548e (net: Add sendmmsg socket system call) added the new
sendmmsg syscall.  Add this to the syscall table for ARM.

ARM: 6343/1: wire up fanotify and prlimit64 syscalls on ARM

2010-09-01T09:06:08+00:00

The 2.6.36-rc kernel added three new system calls:
fanotify_init, fanotify_mark, and prlimit64.  This patch
wires them up on ARM.

The only non-trivial issue here is the u64 argument to
sys_fanotify_mark(), but it is the 3rd argument and thus
passed in r2/r3 in both kernel and user space, so it causes
no problems.

Tested with a 2.6.36-rc2 EABI kernel on an ixp4xx machine.
