From: Ian Munsie Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2011 03:27:22 +0000 (+1100) Subject: tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weak X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c763ba06bd9b5db2c46c36276c89103d92d2c604;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git tracing/syscalls: Make arch_syscall_addr weak Some architectures use non-trivial system call tables and will not work with the generic arch_syscall_addr code. For example, PowerPC64 uses a table of twin long longs. This patch makes the generic arch_syscall_addr weak to allow architectures with non-trivial system call tables to override it.
