Subject: [uml-devel] Question about syscall in UML tt mode
Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2005 16:56:47 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <002801c54b07$0cdde490$90b3c68a@SHZ.ST.COM> (raw)

Hi all:

Now I added a system call in UML which should use pt_regs as its parameter. So the system call is "sys_XXX(struct pt_regs)" just like sys_fork(struct pt_regs) under i386 architecture. But I didn't find any syscall under UML which use pt_regs as its parameter. 

I found the EXECUTE_SYSCALL(syscall,regs) in UML is defined only with 6 parameters which are ebx,ecx.... So I think I can't use pt_regs as my syscall parameter,right?

So I directly use current->thread.regs in my system call. It seems worked.

I want to know whether it's safe to do that. Thanks!

Alex
