Currently sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() (32-bit only), are not visible to the syscall tracing machinery. This means users are not able to see the execution of mmap() syscalls using the syscall tracer. Fix that by using SYSCALL_DEFINE6 for sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() so that the meta-data associated with these syscalls is visible to the syscall tracer. A side-effect of this change is that the return type has changed from unsigned long to long. However this should have no effect, the only code in the kernel which uses the result of these syscalls is in the syscall return path, which is written in asm and treats the result as unsigned regardless. Example output: cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542410: sys_mmap(addr: 7fff922a0000, len: 20000, prot: 3, flags: 812, fd: 3, offset: 1b0000) cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542443: sys_mmap -> 0x7fff922a0000 cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542668: sys_munmap(addr: 7fff922c0000, len: 6d2c) cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542677: sys_munmap -> 0x0 Signed-off-by: Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> [mpe: Massage change log, add detail on return type change] Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
