Hello Michael,
There are some syscalls that are not intended to be used from user
space. See restart_syscall(2). Should I document those as
syscall(SYS_...) or not?
Yes, this function is an odd case. (Are there others? Perhaps
sigreturn(2) also.)
rt_sigqueueinfo.2 maybe, for which, by the way, I sent a patch recently,
so you may prefer to ingore it.
I think I would just ignore these two. (That is, no changes.)
Agree. I sent the patch for rt_sigqueueinfo.2 because in NOTES it
already talked about syscall(2), and by the DESCRIPTION it looks like
it's used by library writers (that's user space).
I see you've applied the patch (it was 2/8 that you applied today
(<https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/20210515182027.186403-2-alx.manpages@xxxxxxxxx/T/#u>)).
Check this before pushing and decide :)
Cheers,
Alex
