Subject: Allocating sys_membarrier syscall number on other archs
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 04:04:42 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1721242013.30076.1440648282669.JavaMail.zimbra@efficios.com> (raw)

Hi Andrew,

The sys_membarrier patches you have in your tree target
x86 32-64 and generic, but I did not allocate the system call
number on other architectures to minimize the amount of
collisions, and because I do not have all those architectures
handy.

How would you recommend to proceed to allocate those ?

sys_membarrier is pretty much architecture agnostic: it
takes two integer parameters, and the only function it calls,
synchronize_sched(), is available on all architectures.

Thanks,

Mathieu
