I see that current situation needs some comments from my site.

What are facts?
* We have old GCC, old syscall table and all programs use old syscalls.
* I looked at all cpu and their syscalls. There is really big mess in every
architecture. They use almost the same syscalls as is in syscall table for
Microblaze.

Arnd commented current syscall table and send me long email about(Thanks again).
On the base on this email I did converted table for future use - for porting old
application to new version. Below is my table with syscalls and there is a short
description. (or http://www.monstr.eu/wiki/doku.php?id=kernel:syscall)

I counted how big impact will be syscall change to programs which are in John W
distribution
all programs
mknod - 174
rmdir - 488
mkdir - 1128
symlink - 404
rename - 1536
access - 1664
chmod - 1122
open - 22583 (crazy)
ipc - 26

Only busybox
open - 667
chmod 44
access 52
rename 32
symlink 8
mkdir 19
rmdir 9
mknod 16

I thing you understand that we can't change all application per night. This is
not possible. But we have to start with change this.

There is two opinions:
* One is take syscall table with old syscalls for backward compatibility.
As John W wrote. Microblaze has history around 4 years and 2.6 kernel almost 2
years.
* Second is change everything and start with new gcc and syscall.

I feel second version is better for future and the first is better for now.

We definitely need to start with change but this change must not break what is
done. For this purpose I would like to have a table which told me which syscall
is old or new. On the base on this table we can continuously rewrite all
applications.
I think that rewriting syscalls is not only problem for Microblaze cpu.

Can you look at my table and correct it if I am wrong with some syscalls?

I labeled syscalls like ok - this means ok for Microblaze without MMU. mmu is
marked for MMU port. I hope I covered most syscalls which are in current kernel.

Regards,
Michal Simek
