Commit Message

This patch consolidates the tee Linux syscall generation on
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tee.c.  It basically removes it from
architectures auto-generation list.

Checked on i686-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnux32,
arch64-linux-gnu, arm-linux-gnueabihf, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
sparc64-linux-gnu, and sparcv9-linux-gnu.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdeps_routines): Add tee.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list: Remove tee from
	auto-generated list.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tee.c: New file.

This might be a silly question, but could we adjust the “C” system call 
generation to make this kind of change automatically?

Or is the goal to remove the C handling eventually?

Thanks,
Florian

My understanding is that the goal is to eliminate generation of 
cancellable syscalls via asm templates.  Generating them via generated C 
code with inline asm (rather than having such code checked in as a .c file 
for each syscall) would be possible - but preferably with more information 
about appropriate return type and argument types and names (which could in 
principle come from the public headers), to generate useful debug 
information and so help users with a program stopped in such a syscall.  
(There's an old notion that even with asm templates for syscalls we should 
generate debug info somehow to help users debugging through them.)

Okay, in that case, the patch looks okay to me.

Right, I ran into that deficiency many times, too.
