Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
121b32a58a
For the 32-bit syscall interface, 64-bit arguments (loff_t) are passed via a pair of 32-bit registers. These register pairs end up in consecutive stack slots, which matches the C ABI for 64-bit arguments. But when accessing the registers directly from pt_regs, the wrapper needs to manually reassemble the 64-bit value. These wrappers already exist for 32-bit compat, so make them available to 32-bit native in preparation for enabling pt_regs-based syscalls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
