How to add a new system call

[Lokesh]

Dear All,

 

Its been a very long time since I post the topics here. I wanted to restart the sharing in this group for which I need your support and co-operation so that the learning goes hand in hand. With this, I am adding my new article on how to add a new system call in the latest versions of the kernel.

 

Also I have started writing blog to share my learnings and experiences with you all and also to improve my writing skills. The blog can be wisited at

Lokesh

 

PS: Attaced a copy of this article on "how to add a new system call" in pdf format and the same is also viewed in my blog.

Hi Lokesh,

  Well done in putting that written, but I would advice you to use asmlinkage in the kernel to avoid the assembler/system(350) code in your example.

 Best regards,
