Hey everyone, I hope this is not going to start a trash fire. While working on a new clone version I tried to find out what the current naming conventions for syscall revisions is. I was told and seemed to be able to confirm through the syscall list that revisions of syscalls are for the most part (for examples see [1]) named after the number of arguments and not for the number of revisions. But some also seem to escape that logic (e.g. clone2). In any case, I would like to document *a* convention for syscall revisions on https://www.kernel.org/doc/ . So what shall it be: - number of args - number of revision ? Christian [1]: - accept4(/* 4 args */) - dup2(/* 2 args */) - dup3(/* 3 args */) - eventfd2(/* 2 args */) - pipe2(/* 2 args */) - pselect6(/* 6 args, including structs */) - signalfd4(/* 4 args, one of them a struct */) - umount2(/* 2 args */) - wait3(/* 3 args, one of them a struct */) - wait4(/* 4 args, one of them a struct */)
