Subject: system calls not intended for user space
Date: Thu, 13 May 2021 21:25:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cb816b17-df1e-8cb9-5847-1626571f7929@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello Michael,

There are some syscalls that are not intended to be used from user 
space.  See restart_syscall(2).  Should I document those as 
syscall(SYS_...) or not?  How are they called within the kernel?  As 
sys_restart_syscall()?

Thanks,

Alex
