They will need to be added to sparc64. > 2) I add the syscall entries to include/asm-sparc64/unistd.h and > arch/sparc64/kernel/systbls.S and update NR_SYSCALLS in > arch/sparc64/kernel/entry.S and I should be done right? The main thing you need to remember is that the syscalls will be part of the 32/64 translation. Make sure there aren't any pointers being passed, and such. Check sys_sparc32.c for more info on how to handle special cases. > The only real problem I'm running into is some of the utilities, like > xfs_repair are getting SBus errors, any tips on trying to clear these up? > Thanks, I got that too when I tried XFS on sparc64. Seems there's an alignment issue somewhere. Can't really try to track it down till the syscall issue gets fixed. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---'
