And you have walked further than me. I guess, Chris don't need getdent for tile, since he didn't export the syscall in kernel. IMO, it's better to add one syscall instead of __ARCH_WANT_SYSCALL_DEPRECATED in your own unistd.h: #define __NR_getdents 1065 #define __ARCH_WANT_SYS_GETDENTS __SYSCALL(__NR_getdents, sys_getdents) > > As to the "API": I just want to use Arnd's "generic" kernel support; > that will be the API.
