It should be safe to declare the syscall return type always as "long", no?
Sign extension is a rule of the architecture.
So if the platform says "int shall not be sign extended to 64-bits", declaring as long is wrong. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
