Patch below should fix it.


Subject: [PATCH] syscall define: fix uml compile bug

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

With the new system call defines we get this on uml:

arch/um/sys-i386/built-in.o: In function `sys_call_table':
(.rodata+0x308): undefined reference to `sys_sigprocmask'

Reason for this is that uml passes the preprocessor option
-Dsigprocmask=kernel_sigprocmask to gcc when compiling the kernel.
This causes SYSCALL_DEFINE3(sigprocmask, ...) to be expanded to
SYSCALL_DEFINEx(3, kernel_sigprocmask, ...) and finally to a system call
named sys_kernel_sigprocmask. However sys_sigprocmask is missing because
of this.
To avoid macro expansion for the system call name just concatenate the
name at first define instead of carrying it through severel levels.
This was pointed out by Al Viro.
