LSB:PM:Add syscall

From The Linux Foundation

Contents

Weekly Executive Summary

We're still defining the scope of the problem. What are the common uses of syscall() out there?

Vision

The "syscall" function is the #1 most-needed function in glibc not in the LSB. Unfortunately, the kernel community (for good reason) is extremely nervous about exposing syscall to the wide world.

We need to decide whether we should export it, or whether there are other workarounds to syscall usage.

Milestones

A rough proposed schedule for this project. When we anticipate that we will reach certain milestones. Also, if the project has an absolutely-must-be-completed-by date, mention it here.
