linux-stable.git/arch/arm64/include/asm/syscalls.h, branch linux-3.7.y Linux kernel stable tree arm64: System calls handling 2012-09-17T12:42:08+00:00 Catalin Marinas catalin.marinas@arm.com 2012-03-05T11:49:31+00:00 7992d60dc46576bc6f6429d87f313462141db6d2 This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and flush the caches entirely from user space. The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.

This patch adds support for system calls coming from 64-bit
applications. It uses the asm-generic/unistd.h definitions with the
canonical set of system calls. The private system calls are only used
for 32-bit (compat) applications as 64-bit ones can set the TLS and
flush the caches entirely from user space.

The sys_call_table is just an array defined in a C file and it contains
pointers to the syscall functions. The array is 4KB aligned to allow the
use of the ADRP instruction (longer range ADR) in entry.S.
