I recently rewrote the syscall numbering for the x86_64 platform to optimize it
at the cacheline usage level. If somebody wants to overview the numbering and
give feedback or find something better that's welcome. We know we'll break the
kernel API still at least once. I choosed the numbering in function of tpcc
kernel profiling info with popular DBMS and strace output of some network and
desktop application.
Side note: the gettimeofday(2) and time(2) are implemented as vsyscalls. Below
you find the gettimeofday syscall only because it will be used in the asymetric MP
where there's no way to make it working at the userspace level (not even with
per-cpu paging tricks, while with per-cpu paging tricks we could make getpid
working fine because that would be an atomic read only but I preferred to avoid
such a relevant complexity to optimize getpid that should never run during
production anyways). Only in the asymetric MP case the vgettimeofday will
redirect to the gettimeofday syscall without glibc and userspace noticing that
(so all SMP/UP machines won't need to use such syscall).
Thanks.
