asm/syscall.h: add syscall_get_arch

2012-04-14T01:13:19Z

Adds a stub for a function that will return the AUDIT_ARCH_* value appropriate to the supplied task based on the system call convention. For audit's use, the value can generally be hard-coded at the audit-site. However, for other functionality not inlined into syscall entry/exit, this makes that information available. seccomp_filter is the first planned consumer and, as such, the comment indicates a tie to CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SECCOMP_FILTER.

asm-generic: syscall_get_nr returns int

2009-09-23T02:56:50Z

Only 32 bits of system call number are meaningful, so make the specification for syscall_get_nr() be to return int, not long. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath

tracehook: asm/syscall.h

2008-07-26T19:00:09Z

This adds asm-generic/syscall.h, which documents what a real asm-ARCH/syscall.h file should define. This is not used yet, but will provide all the machine-dependent details of examining a user system call about to begin, in progress, or just ended. Each arch should add an asm-ARCH/syscall.h that defines all the entry points documented in asm-generic/syscall.h, as short inlines if possible. This lets us write new tracing code that understands user system call registers, without any new arch-specific work.
