2014-09-23syscall.h: fix doc text for syscall_get_arch()Richard Guy Briggs
syscall_get_arch() used to take a task as a argument. It now uses current. Fix the doc text. Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>
2014-03-20syscall_get_arch: remove useless function argumentsEric Paris
Every caller of syscall_get_arch() uses current for the task and no implementors of the function need args. So just get rid of both of those things. Admittedly, since these are inline functions we aren't wasting stack space, but it just makes the prototypes better.

2012-04-14asm/syscall.h: add syscall_get_archWill Drewry
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.

2009-09-22asm-generic: syscall_get_nr returns intRoland McGrath
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 <roland@redhat.com>
2008-09-05tracehook: comment pasto fixesRoland McGrath

2008-07-26tracehook: asm/syscall.hRoland McGrath
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.
