Please turn brain on before posting. Of course they would add it. But only in the next version. Which means everyone using older glibc would be out of luck. So all the users would be stuck using syscall(). Anything you may gain in the kernel would be totally made up by that. BTW I added arch_prctl, but in hindsight it wasn't good idea. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
