The system call tables and the compat wrapper are all manually created. If we manage to get the prototypes for the system calls in a parseable format at least the compat wrappers could be auto-generated. I see two pitfalls: 1) some compat system calls are directly wired to the system call table while others need the compat_wrapper detour, 2) override of system calls with "meta" system calls like sys_socket or sys_ipc. -- blue skies, IBM Deutschland Entwicklung GmbH Martin Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Johann Weihen Geschäftsführung: Herbert Kircher Martin Schwidefsky Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Linux on zSeries Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, Development HRB 243294 "Reality continues to ruin my life." - Calvin. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
