PowerPC experts,
Paul Moore and I are working on the v2.4 release of libseccomp,
and as part of this work I need to update the syscall table for
each architecture.
I have incorporated the new ppc syscall.tbl into libseccomp, but
I am not familiar with the value of "spu" in the ABI column. For
example:
22 32 umount sys_oldumount
22 64 umount sys_ni_syscall
22 spu umount sys_ni_syscall
In libseccomp, we maintain a 32-bit ppc syscall table and a 64-bit
ppc syscall table. Do we also need to add a "spu" ppc syscall
table? Some clarification on the syscalls marked "spu" and "nospu"
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Tom
Thanks for the awesome responses, Ben and Michael. I'll definitely
get Paul's input as well, but it sounds reasonable to exclude SPUs
from the newest libseccomp release.
Michael's recommendation to replace "nospu" with common" and ignore
"spu" entirely has allowed ppc and ppc64 to pass all of our internal
checks.
Thanks again!
Tom
