2014-02-24fixup general __syscall breakage introduced in x32 portrofl0r-0/+2
the reordering of headers caused some risc archs to not see the __syscall declaration anymore. this caused build errors on mips with any compiler, and on arm and microblaze with clang. we now declare it locally just like the powerpc port does.
2013-03-26remove __SYSCALL_SSLEN arch macro in favor of using public _NSIGRich Felker-2/+0
the issue at hand is that many syscalls require as an argument the kernel-ABI size of sigset_t, intended to allow the kernel to switch to a larger sigset_t in the future. previously, each arch was defining this size in syscall_arch.h, which was redundant with the definition of _NSIG in bits/signal.h. as it's used in some not-quite-portable application code as well, _NSIG is much more likely to be recognized and understood immediately by someone reading the code, and it's also shorter and less cluttered. note that _NSIG is actually 65/129, not 64/128, but the division takes care of throwing away the off-by-one part.
2012-09-15fix syscall asm constraints for arm tooRich Felker-4/+4
no problems were detected so far, but the constraints seem to have been invalid just like the mips ones.
2012-09-09inline syscall support for armRich Felker-0/+53
most pure-syscall-wrapper functions compile to the smallest/simplest code possible (save r7 ; load syscall # ; svc 0 ; restore r7 ; tail call to __syscall_ret).
2012-09-08syscall organization overhaulRich Felker-0/+41
now public syscall.h only exposes __NR_* and SYS_* constants and the variadic syscall function. no macros or inline functions, no __syscall_ret or other internal details, no 16-/32-bit legacy syscall renaming, etc. this logic has all been moved to src/internal/syscall.h with the arch-specific parts in arch/$(ARCH)/syscall_arch.h, and the amount of arch-specific stuff has been reduced to a minimum. changes still need to be reviewed/double-checked. minimal testing on i386 and mips has already been performed.
