Hi Firoz, Thanks for your patch! On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 4:19 PM Firoz Khan <firoz.khan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Subject: m68k: generate uapi header and syscall table header files Unified system call table generation script must be run to generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by m68k/Makefile and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/syscalltable.S file.
This doesn't really describe what this patch is doing. This patch switches m68k over to use the common scripts for system call header file generation.

What's the purpose of adding sysnr?

What's the purpose of adding this build rule, which is unused? The patch works fine though. I assume the common build rules will be moved to a common place later?
