- Is expected to have a x32 ABI implementation as well? In the case of wait and wake, we could use the same as x86_64 ABI. However, for the waitv (aka wait on multiple futexes) we would need a proper x32 entry since we are dealing with 32bit pointers.x32 should be able to use the same i386 compat systcall entry. Will it be problem?
Indeed, you are right. In the last iteration of this work, I had some problems dealing with x32 ABI, but this new interface doesn't have the same problem anymore. We can use the same sys_waitv_time64 interface for both i368 and x32.
