I was going to remark that it is a bit too late to drop a reviewed, acked and applied patch, but, alas, I somehow managed to mangle your patch during "git am" procedure so that most of it was not actually applied despite of commit message elaborately describing the change. :( > An architecture port based in the generic syscall > ABI is in progress: > > http://rocketboards.org/gitweb/?p=linux-socfpga-next.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/socfpga-3.12-nios2-ABI > > I'll work on a new patchset, based in this branch, so we can have > strace support for the (soon?) to-be-mainlined Nios-II arch. Thanks. So Nios-II support in strace is not going to be an exception to the generic "mainline only" rule after all. :) -- ldv
