Let me bring another example from powerpc:
syscall_32.tbl, 136 common personality sys_personality ppc64_personality ---> 32-bit, compat (this is the current model which I implemented) syscall_64.tbl 136 common personality ppc64_personality ---> 64-bit
I was wondering if the above table is right, how to arrange like parisc model?
I think this should simply be
136 32 personality sys_personality ppc64_personality 136 64 personality ppc64_personality
Keeping the contents exactly the same as you have them in the separate .tbl files, just merging the two files, and splitting out the differences as 32/64 ABI.
FYI, there are some implement missing for SPU in powerpc
For your reference: SYSX_SPU(sys_newfstatat,sys_fstatat64,sys_fstatat64) SYSX_SPU(ppc64_personality,ppc64_personality,sys_personality)
This is a good question. The only difference between SPU and native 64-bit is that some syscalls are not part of the SPU table because those syscalls are impossible to implement on SPU.
Maybe we can solve this by allowing multiple comma-separated ABIs in the table. On powerpc, 'common' would then mean '32-bit, 64-bit and spu', while you could have various other combinations:
/* always:32, 64 and SPU */ 1 common exit sys_exit
/* 32-bit only call */ 76 32 getrlimit sys_old_getrlimit compat_sys_old_getrlimit
/* 64-bit only, no SPU */ 363 64 switch_endian sys_switch_endian
/* 32-bit and 64-bit, no SPU */ 198 32,64 pciconfig_read sys_pciconfig_read
/* different pointers */ 136 32 personality sys_personality ppc64_personality 136 64,spu personality ppc64_personality
Would that work for you?
At this point, yes. V2 patches for powerpc on my pipeline. I can bring the above points when I start creating those patches.
Thanks Firoz
