mainlining shenanigans
The system call number in ia64 architecture starts with 1024. But most of the other architecute starts with 0. In order to come up with a common implementation to generate uapi header we need to add an offset - __NR_Linux with a value 1024. One of the patch in this patch series does have a script to generate uapi header which uses syscall.tbl file. In syscall- .tbl contain system call number. With the use of __NR_Linux, we can start the number from 0 instead of 1024. Signed-off-by: Firoz Khan <firoz.khan@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
