syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up syscall stub naming convention
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.

For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 <inline>     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

 810f1aa0 T   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
				# casts them to the declared type)

 810f1aa0 T        sys_waitid	# alias to __se_sys_waitid() (taking
				# parameters as declared), to be included
				# in syscall table

For x86, the naming is as follows:

 810efc70 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)

 <inline>     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
				# (takes original parameters as declared)

 810efd60 t   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
				# casts them to the declared type)

 810f1140 T __ia32_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub,
				# calls __se_sys_waitid(); to be included
				# in syscall table

 810f1110 T        sys_waitid	# x86 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls
				# __se_sys_waitid(); to be included in
				# syscall table

For x86, sys_waitid() will be re-named to __x64_sys_waitid in a follow-up
patch.
