HI,
I recently met a kernel janitor, who told me that intercepting system
calls is undesirable, why?
I'll bite.
You intercept. Somebody else intercepts. You want to stop intercepting.
For this reason, anybody who intercepts a system call must be compiled
in, and if two intercept the same system call, than the link order
dictates behavior.
Obviously not desirable.
