From fe74290d51bc08e9b90ed7c145d74a22cd50b90e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 02:18:34 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] provide kernel_execve on all architectures This adds the new kernel_execve function on all architectures that were using _syscall3() to implement execve. The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the unistd.h header file. I don't have cross-compilers for any of these architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386. Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do it for now.
