Hi Michal,

I notice the following commit went into 4.18:

commit 54b0a2011dfcd2e3fe2c28062694fbbe3eb377a3

microblaze: Add new syscalls io_pgetevents and rseq

Wire up new syscalls io_pgetevents and rseq.

Signed-off-by: Michal Simek <michal.simek@xxxxxxxxxx>

It adds the rseq system call to the microblaze syscall list, but
does not add the required hooks in the architecture code, nor does
it select HAVE_RSEQ. So effectively, even though sys_rseq is reserved
on microblaze, it currently always returns ENOSYS.

Is your intent to simply reserve the system call number, or to
also get rseq to work on microblaze ?

A good example of the architecture changes required to
wire up rseq can be found here:

Also, please make sure the tools/testing/selftests/rseq/ tests
pass before pushing a commit enabling it for your architecture.

Thanks,

Mathieu
