Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 845 Lines: 24 Just a quick and simple question for someone that knows the answer. Stock 2.4.20 for i386 uses syscalls up to 252. I want to add about a half-dozen new syscalls (forward porting stuff that we've got on 2.4.18). Does x86 support syscall numbers > 255? If yes, do I have to do anything special to use them? If not, what are my options?
