    overhaul syscall interface · d00ff295
    Rich Felker 提交于
    this commit shuffles around the location of syscall definitions so
    that we can make a syscall() library function with both SYS_* and
    __NR_* style syscall names available to user applications, provides
    the syscall() library function, and optimizes the code that performs
    the actual inline syscalls in the library itself.
    
    previously on i386 when built as PIC (shared library), syscalls were
    incurring bus lock (lock prefix) overhead at entry and exit, due to
    the way the ebx register was being loaded (xchg instruction with a
    memory operand). now the xchg takes place between two registers.
    
    further cleanup to arch/$(ARCH)/syscall.h is planned.
