Rethinking the Kernel System Call Entry - MAD24 315

Watch a technical conference talk exploring efforts to streamline and unify the Linux kernel's system call table generation across architectures. Learn about ongoing work to replace complicated macros with generated code, enabling proper argument sanitation for compat syscalls and creating a single source of truth for both kernel and userspace components. Discover how this infrastructure redesign aims to simplify adding new system calls and support for additional ABIs, including potential 128-bit pointer userspace compatibility alongside existing 32-bit and 64-bit binaries.
