/* The real guts of this work are in the macros defined in the
machine- and kernel-specific sysdep.h header file. When we
are defining a cancellable system call, the sysdep-cancel.h
versions of those macros are what we really use.
Each system call's object is built by a rule in sysd-syscalls
generated by make-syscalls.sh that #include's this file after
defining a few macros:
SYSCALL_NAME syscall name
SYSCALL_NARGS number of arguments this call takes
SYSCALL_SYMBOL primary symbol name
SYSCALL_CANCELLABLE 1 if the call is a cancelation point
SYSCALL_NOERRNO 1 to define a no-errno version (see below)
SYSCALL_ERRVAL 1 to define an error-value version (see below)
We used to simply pipe the correct three lines below through cpp into
the assembler. The main reason to have this file instead is so that
stub objects can be assembled with -g and get source line information
that leads a user back to a source file and these fine comments. The
average user otherwise has a hard time knowing which "syscall-like"
functions in libc are plain stubs and which have nontrivial C wrappers.
Some versions of the "plain" stub generation macros are more than a few
instructions long and the untrained eye might not distinguish them from
some compiled code that inexplicably lacks source line information. */
