Re: [RFC v2] execve.2: SYNOPSIS: Document both glibc wrapper and kernel sycalls

Hi Michael,


Okay, after a few days of thinking, I'm not sure about what to do in some cases.

But I think we agree to use syscall(SYS_ ...) for syscalls with no wrapper (such as membarrier(2)).

Is that right?

I think it may be better to separate this into 2 sets of changes.

1)  Document syscalls without wrappers as syscall(SYS_ ...).
    We could already start with this.
    (Actually, after I finish fixing the prototypes in man3.)
    This change will be fast, because there aren't many of these.

2)  Do the rest, I don't know yet how.  We'll see.


Thanks,

Alex
