As I see you suspect, this is fragile, as it will break on other platforms and if a new syscall is added to the mainline kernel. There is no other way to add a new syscall than to patch arch/i386/kernel/entry.S Note that adding new syscalls is not recommended - usually there is a better way. regards john - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
