    Subject[PATCHv2 0/1] Document how to add a new syscall
    Date
    Given that I've gotten some of the details wrong in the past (and I've
    seen others do likewise), I thought it might be helpful to collate the
    best practices for adding a new system call to the kernel.

    Apologies for the wide circulation -- I've tried to include folk who've
    recently added or proposed a system call, as they're most likely to
    have opinions on:
    - whether this a useful addition to Documentation/
    - whether the details of the advice are correct and complete.

    Thanks,
    David

    (With thanks to Andrew Morton for looking over an initial draft, and to
    Michael Kerrisk for suggesting several clarifications and additions.)


    Changes since v1:
    - added paragraph on build requirements to Testing section [Shuah Khan,
    Peter Zijlstra]
    - various text clarifications [Kees Cook]
    - added Reviewed-by markers
