<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div><div class="h5">Hello everyone:<br>
<br>
I append a simple syscall in kernel. and the function is as follows:<br>
<br>
asmlinkage long sys_mysyscall(long data)<br>
{<br>
printk("This is my syscall!\n");<br>
return data;<br>
}<br>
<br>
and i test it sucessfully in user space . and the test program:<br>
<br>
#include <linux/unistd.h>
<br>
#include <syscall.h><br>
#include <sys/types.h><br>
#include <stdio.h><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
int main(void)<br>
{<br>
long n = 0,m = 0,pid1,pid2;<br>
n = syscall(345,190);// #define __NR_mysyscall 345<br>
printf("n = %ld\n",n);<br>
pid1 = syscall(SYS_getpid); //getpid<br>
printf("pid = %ld\n",pid1);<br>
pid2 = syscall(20); //getpid<br>
printf("pid = %ld\n",pid2);<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
and the result:<br>
n = 190<br>
pid = 4097<br>
pid = 4097<br>
<br>
but if the test program is:<br>
#include <linux/unistd.h><br>
#include <syscall.h><br>
#include <sys/types.h><br>
#include <stdio.h><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
int main(void)<br>
{<br>
long n = 0,m = 0,pid1,pid2;<br>
n = syscall(345,190);// #define __NR_mysyscall 345<br>
printf("n = %ld\n",n);<br>
m = syscall(SYS_mysyscall,190);<br>
printf("m = %ld\n",m);<br>
pid1 = syscall(SYS_getpid); //getpid<br>
printf("pid = %ld\n",pid1);<br>
pid2 = syscall(20); //getpid<br>
printf("pid = %ld\n",pid2);<br>
return 0;<br>
}<br>
and the result:<br>
wanny@wanny-C-Notebook-XXXX:~/syscall/src$ gcc test1.c <br>
test1.c: In function ‘main’:<br>
test1.c:13:14: error: ‘SYS_mysyscall’ undeclared (first use in this function)<br>
test1.c:13:14: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in<br>
<br>
<br>
why i can't invoke my syscall with "SYS_mysyscall"?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
