Hi all
I was trying to add a syscall . The syscall just did copy_to_user
int mycall(struct timeval* arg)
{
copy_to_user(arg,&xtime, sizeof(struct timeval));
}
The include files for this are
#include<asm/uaccess.h>
#include<sys/time.h>
#include<linux/kernel.h>
This gives a lot of parse errors in uaccess.h and many files it includes
like sched.h etc. .. errors like semicolon missing and } missing.
Before compiling, I made certain links :
/usr/include/asm a link to /usr/src/linux/include/asm
and /usr/include/linux a link to /usr/src/linux/include/linux.
If I remove #inlcude<asm/uaccess.h> and the copy_to_user() call and put a
printk , then it works fine.
I am not able to make out what the problem is. Can anyone help me ?
Thanx
