[Linux-ia64] Add reserved number for security syscall

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 605 bytes --]



Please apply the attached patch (against 2.4.18) to reserve a syscall
number for the security interface.


A number has already been reserved and accepted by Linus for the i386,
alpha and cris architectures, at the time the reservation was requested,
none of the LSM developers had IA64 machines so it slipped through the
cracks.


Thanks,

richard.

Not true, I have access to ia64 hardware, and have successfully run LSM
modified kernels on them in the past.  I was merely waiting for the LSM
code to make it into the mainline kernel before bothering the other arch
maintainers.

Thanks David for accepting this patch and reserving a number for us.
