Hello. Recently I looked at the s390-specific system calls and noticed a few things that are missing in the respective man pages and, from my point of view, are worth documenting. The information in the commits is based on the kernel sources and the commit logs of the following files: - arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/sthyi.h - arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/guarded_storage.h - arch/s390/include/asm/runtime_instr.h - arch/s390/kernel/sthyi.c - arch/s390/kernel/guarded_storage.c - arch/s390/kernel/runtime_instr.c One question for which I haven't found an answer, however, is the reason behind the addition new syscalls instead of new arch-specific prctl options, for example (especially in the case of s390_runtime_instr and, to some extent, s390_guarded_storage and s390_sthyi). Eugene Syromyatnikov (5): s390_runtime_instr.2: note that runtime_instr.h is not a public header s390_runtime_instr.2: document the removal of the second argument s390_sthyi.2: wfix s390_sthyi.2: some minor additions man2: describe s390_guarded_storage s390-specific system call man2/s390_guarded_storage.2 | 150 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ man2/s390_runtime_instr.2 | 31 +++++++-- man2/s390_sthyi.2 | 19 +++++- 3 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 man2/s390_guarded_storage.2 -- 2.1.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-s390" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
