[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] getpriority() shouldn't use libc wrapper

[Thayne Harbaugh <thayne@c2.net>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 216 bytes --]

The linux-user getpriority() syscall goes through the libc wrapper.
This causes a problem because the libc wrapper remaps the return value
from the kernel.  This patch calls the kernel getpriority syscall
directly.
