[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] linux-user: Drop direct use of openat etc syscalls

2013-06-01 Thread Peter Maydell
The linux-user syscall emulation layer currently supports the openat family of syscalls via two mechanisms: simply calling the corresponding libc functions, and making direct syscalls. Since glibc has supported these functions since at least glibc 2.5, there's no real need to retain the (essentiall
