TIL the mailing lists don't like responses from proxy addresses.
Resending response to it goes out to everyone


Good catch, I always mixup RESTART/RESTORE.  This should be RESTORE
Adjusted patch below, will send a v4 tomorrow so as not to spam the
lists.  Attached an updated patch for the time being.



(brief syscall user dispatch overview)

syscall-user-dispatch is relatively simple, the goal is to implement
syscall interposition for foreign syscalls (windows, non-posix,
whatever).  Since the ABI of these syscalls can't be trusted to be
anything like linux, syscall dispatch produces a SIGSYS before anything
else can do things like check register values.

How to use

1) User registers a SIGSYS signal handler
2) User does
   prctl(PR_SET_SYSCALL_USER_DISPATCH, PR_SYS_DISPATCH_ON,
	       <address>, <length>, char* selector)

3) All 'syscall' instructions *outside* the virtual address range
   (address, address+length) now produce a SIGSYS on the thread that
	 executed the syscall.

   <selector> can be set to SYSCALL_DISPATCH_FILTER_ALLOW or 
	 SYSCALL_DISPATCH_FILTER_BLOCK to enable/disable this signal
	 production from userland without having to make kernel calls.
