Should we use a variadic prototype (...)? hi, there are no args for x86.. it's there just to note that it might be different on other archs, so not sure what man page should say in such case.. keeping (void) is fine with me > > Please add the changes proposed below to your patch, tweak anything if > you consider it appropriate) and send it as v10. it looks good to me, thanks a lot Acked-by: From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> jirka > > Have a lovely day! > Alex > > > diff --git i/man/man2/uretprobe.2 w/man/man2/uretprobe.2 > index cf1c2b0d8..51b566998 100644 > --- i/man/man2/uretprobe.2 > +++ w/man/man2/uretprobe.2 > @@ -7,50 +7,43 @@ .SH NAME > uretprobe \- execute pending return uprobes > .SH SYNOPSIS > .nf > -.B int uretprobe(void) > +.B int uretprobe(void); > .fi > .SH DESCRIPTION > -The > .BR uretprobe () > -system call is an alternative to breakpoint instructions for triggering return > -uprobe consumers. > +is an alternative to breakpoint instructions > +for triggering return uprobe consumers. > .P > Calls to > .BR uretprobe () > -system call are only made from the user-space trampoline provided by the kernel. > +are only made from the user-space trampoline provided by the kernel. > Calls from any other place result in a > .BR SIGILL . > -.SH RETURN VALUE > -The > +.P > +Details of the arguments (if any) passed to > .BR uretprobe () > -system call return value is architecture-specific. > +are architecture-specific. > +.SH RETURN VALUE > +The return value is architecture-specific. > .SH ERRORS > .TP > .B SIGILL > -The > .BR uretprobe () > -system call was called by a user-space program. > +was called by a user-space program. > .SH VERSIONS > -Details of the > -.BR uretprobe () > -system call behavior vary across systems. > +The behavior varies across systems. > .SH STANDARDS > None. > .SH HISTORY > -TBD > -.SH NOTES > -The > +Linux 6.11. > +.P > .BR uretprobe () > -system call was initially introduced for the x86_64 architecture > +was initially introduced for the x86_64 architecture > where it was shown to be faster than breakpoint traps. > It might be extended to other architectures. > -.P > -The > +.SH CAVEATS > .BR uretprobe () > -system call exists only to allow the invocation of return uprobe consumers. > +exists only to allow the invocation of return uprobe consumers. > It should > .B never > be called directly. > -Details of the arguments (if any) passed to > -.BR uretprobe () > -and the return value are architecture-specific. > > -- > <https://www.alejandro-colomar.es/>
