That really sounds like a homework question... Why do you want to do this, and what have you tried to do that has failed? ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

I remember doing it on KernelVersion: 2.6 by modifying some files including unistd.h writing a wrapper for it and writing the code for it. This included some tweaking inside the /arch subtree of the kernel. my intentions are entirely academic. Currently working on kernelVer: 3.12.14 I am somewhat struggling to comprehend the changes (steep learning curve), if you could guide me on what files to look for, i am sure i can find my way from there. There's loads of how to add a syscall to Linux tutorials out there, what have you tried and what errors have you gotten when following them? greg k-h ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
