entry point of execve to kernel -- how to find it?

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

 



Hi,
I am facing a problem in execve system call.
When our linux box is coming up, it enters init() function finally and execve-s init (/sbin/init) and hangs there.
Now I need to debug execve which goes to _syscall3.
syscall3 is a macro, with assembly instructions. I know that it puts all parameters into registers and raises interrupt 0x80.
What I would like to know is the entry point in kernel for this interrupt so that I can put a breakpoint there and proceed from there?


Anybody any idea?
Thanks,
Om.
