ive tried to implement a simple system call: (kernel version 2.6.16) i use

in kernel/sys.c
asmlinkage long sys_soorejpid(void)

in arch/i386/kernel/syscall_table.S, after line ".long
sys_unshare" i add
.long sys_soorejpid
in include/asm/unistd.h, after the line "#define NR_syscalls 311" i add
#define __NR_soorejpid 312
compiled and loaded the new kernel.
i made a small C code to check it.
try adding
#include <linux/unistd.h>
#define __NR_soorejpid 312
__syscall0(long,soorejpid)
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("%ld\n",soorejpid());
}
got a whole lot of errors.. im pasting first few errors here:
syscall.c:2: error: syntax error before 'soorejpid'

/////////////////////////////
and how do i know if sys_call_table is already exported in kernel and how
to export it if not.
sys_call_table is not exported, if you want to export it, use
EXPORT_SYMBOL() macro
