I don't wish to comment on the need or lack thereof of exporting the sys call table but it sounds to me that this is an area where some work would be beneficial. Is it too complication to produce a portable API along the lines of: syscall_entry_replace(int,func_t) Which will be implemented per architecture with the appropriate locks ? And if locking is the problem then even a trimmed version that doesn't do locking and maybe could be used for other in kernel purposes in code where the locking is not needed ? Just wondering, Mark. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9ngrUxlxDIcceXTgRAtEsAKDYLunlNd19qdQQacfA7hHpCrtSIwCgxIok S/PV6XqX/G0J+qSNHXwL3ao= =unBc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
