Most architectures use NR_syscalls as the #define for the number of syscalls. We use __NR_syscalls, and then define NR_syscalls as __NR_syscalls. __NR_syscalls is not used outside arch code, whereas NR_syscalls is. So as NR_syscalls must be defined and __NR_syscalls does not, replace __NR_syscalls with NR_syscalls.Hi, But what's wrong with the current code? Why do we need such change?
Yeah, just out of curiosity. Why we had both __NR_syscalls and NR_syscalls to begin with ?
