Subject: [PATCH v8 09/12] syscalls: Add an option for offsetting the common table
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 21:31:16 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918-tonyk-syscall_table-v8-9-0e2d60cad13e@igalia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918-tonyk-syscall_table-v8-0-0e2d60cad13e@igalia.com>
To better support architectures that doesn't share the same syscall
numbers, but have them in the same sequence, add an new option to offset
the common syscall table numbers by a value. This make it possible to reuse
the common syscall table for alpha.
Signed-off-by: André Almeida <andrealmeid@igalia.com>

Changes from v4:
- I was reusing the logic from --offset to apply the --common-offset, but
the logic is different: --offset does a string concat, and --common-offset
does a addition to the number
