Is it legal to call a newly defined system call from within another system call (say, vfs_read in /fs/read_write.c for example)?
If so, what do I need to include in read_write.c? A test program in user-space defined the following:
Quote:
#include <ctype.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include "linux-2.6.16/include/asm-i386/unistd.h" // < modified
_syscall2(int, testCall, int, arg01, int, arg02)
|
...and I was able to use testCall. However, modifying read_write.c with the above lines added complains about "kernel_errno" being undeclared.
(btw, I'm just playing around with the kernel here; I don't expect to be messing with the system calls in a real program)
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
