Subject: Generic syscall ABI support
Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:09:42 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1364440182.2289.45.camel@leyfoon-vm> (raw)

Need advise regarding the generic syscall ABI support.

We are planning to upstream our Nios II kernel (arch/nios2) to mainline.
But it doesn't support generic syscall ABI yet (It requires an updated
Glibc port as well). 

The question is, is it a requirement for new arch to support generic
syscall ABI when upstreaming? Can we upstream a non-generic syscall ABI
first and migrate to generic syscall ABI in future?
Thanks.

Regards
LFTAN
