Subject: [PATCH 08/15] kexec: New syscall kexec_file_load() declaration
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:33:37 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403814824-7587-9-git-send-email-vgoyal@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1403814824-7587-1-git-send-email-vgoyal-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>
This is the new syscall kexec_file_load() declaration/interface. I have
reserved the syscall number only for x86_64 so far. Other architectures
(including i386) can reserve syscall number when they enable the support
for this new syscall.
