  • 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.

    Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.

  • We reserved the numbers a long time ago, but never wired them up in the
    syscall table as they need TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, which we only got last year
    in commit cb6831d5d3099e772a510eb3e1ed0760ccffb45e ("m68k: Switch to saner
    sigsuspend()")

  • Impact for nommu:
    - Store table in .rodata instead of .text,
    - Let kernel/sys_ni.c handle the stubbing of MMU-only syscalls,
    - Implement sys_mremap and sys_nfsservct,
    - Remove unused padding at the end of the table.

    Impact for mmu:
    - Store table in .rodata instead of .data.

  • There is a lot of common code that could be shared between the m68k
    and m68knommu arch branches. It makes sense to merge the two branches
    into a single directory structure so that we can more easily share
    that common code.

    This is a brute force merge, based on a script from Stephen King
    , which was originally written by Arnd Bergmann
    .

    > #endif

    On top of this file merge I have done a simplistic merge of m68k and
    m68knommu Kconfig, which primarily attempts to keep existing options and
    menus in place. Other than a handful of options being moved it produces
    identical .config outputs on m68k and m68knommu targets I tested it on.

    With this in place there is now quite a bit of scope for merge cleanups
    in future patches.
