Hi,
I have a question about system call implementation in tt mode. it
seems that an invoked system call will be executed in tracee's
context. (the tracer sends SIGUSR2 to the tracee and tracee executes
the system call in usr2_handler) however, 'current' macro, which is
used to find the current

Yeah, this is reasonable. You have to be careful that you save and restore
any registers that might be used by one of the stubs, but they don't use
FP.
I also thought about not saving FP-regs on each kernel entry. But if you do
this optimization, you need to save / restore FP-regs on

In this case, instead, for SKAS mode, we must switch the registers manually,
since we have collapsed everything in one host process. For TT and SKAS0
mode, instead, it's not needed, right Jeff and Bodo?
Correct.

Hi,
Could you explain what happens in SKAS mode, then? How a UML kenel in
SKAS mode handles the UML system calls differently from one in TT
mode? i tried to understand from the code, but i had hard time to
understand.
Thank you very much!

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Let me have one following question.
As my understand, in SKAS mode, tracer and tracee are different host
processes, and they have UML kernel code and application code
respectively. (in TT mode, tracee has both kernel and

1) in SKAS mode, the tracer (UML kernel) will execute a system call
for the tracee (the user process). But what if the system call blocks?
then, the tracer, the UML kernel, will

Hi,Blaisorblade:
I have studied the TT mode of UML source code 2.6.7 for some time.But I
still can't work out the system call function flow in TT mode.I have read
some documents and comments on that but all of them are very rough...
