Re: linux syscall madvise
Sure, but point is that this won't fix much. You can, if you want to, submit a patch with the relevant code, it's straight forward. Main aim still remains to get LTP running, so all missing syscalls, most of them way more important than madvise, can be identified.

Implementing an empty dummy function will work perfectly fine as it isn't required to do anything. True, but there is a madvise in DFly, so the Linux call can be implemented as the DFly call for the functions they both have, and dummy for the rest.

madvise is of no real relevance and is normally not a big deal either. Implementing an empty dummy function will work perfectly fine as it isn't required to do anything.
