Re: support for calling Linux syscalls directly

But in reality I often end up with several testcases broken the same way because they shared common ancestors and were copied all over with just a slight modification. Complicated pieces of code are simply not worth of duplication. I would rather have single place where I can fix bug in way how syscall done because this code is complicated enough and does exactly the same work in each project.

There are, on the other hand, duplications that makes sense because the
resulting projects have different objectives. In LTP posix conformance
tests overlaps fairly with libc tests, which is fine.


If you want generic system call stubs you may want to look at the ones in klibc.
