Doubt in Sysem call!!

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi

Could someone tell what is the difference between the following.

.rept NR_syscalls-(.-sys_call_table)/4
	.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall)
.endr


and


.rept NR_syscalls-191
	.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall)
.endr


What does each mean and does it make a difference in implementing system 
call?? Do we have to make any changes to the first one while implamenting a  
new system call???

thank you!!

Charumathi.
