Hi!
I would like to know why alpha seems to be the only arch which has assembler code for some syscalls (like the sys_getx* calls)
is the alpha gcc compiler so bad that it can not handle the task of dereferencing the task struct?
is it some kind of legacy code, which should have been removed a long time ago, but just wasn't?
or is there a special reason for doing so?
details: arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S
TIA, Herbert
