Subject: [man-pages PATCH 0/5] some minor s390 syscall updates
Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2018 18:56:14 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180114185614.GA12646@asgard.redhat.com> (raw)
Hello.
Recently I looked at the s390-specific system calls and noticed a few
things that are missing in the respective man pages and, from my point
of view, are worth documenting.
The information in the commits is based on the kernel sources and the
commit logs of the following files:
- arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/sthyi.h
- arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/guarded_storage.h
- arch/s390/include/asm/runtime_instr.h
- arch/s390/kernel/sthyi.c
- arch/s390/kernel/guarded_storage.c
- arch/s390/kernel/runtime_instr.c
One question for which I haven't found an answer, however, is the reason behind
the addition new syscalls instead of new arch-specific prctl options,
for example (especially in the case of s390_runtime_instr and, to some extent,
s390_guarded_storage and s390_sthyi).
Eugene Syromyatnikov (5):
s390_runtime_instr.2: note that runtime_instr.h is not a public header
s390_runtime_instr.2: document the removal of the second argument
s390_sthyi.2: wfix
s390_sthyi.2: some minor additions
man2: describe s390_guarded_storage s390-specific system call
