I couldn't but help notice the increasing number of unimplemented syscalls on the Alpha architecture. I thought I might poke around to see what might be required to get these implemented and got a pleasant surprise when it seems some only need an entry in the syscall table. Indeed, the patch in reply to this message gets preadv and pwritev going -- tested with the sample program at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/6/535. I am happy to write patches to wire up more of the syscalls, but I am wondering which ones are as straightforward as the preadv/pwritev case? That is, do any require extra programming other than the syscall table? Do I need to get the entries in the syscall table in the same order as other architectures?
