Syscalls that return pointers are indeed a bit more tricky, but they are also very rare (eg, mmap) and I don't think you are likely to encounter any. The ideal is that you add entries to setup_post_syscall_table() so as to make it work for you, and then send us the patch (attach it to the bugzilla entry). Thanks, J |
