From 37e81a016cc847c03ea71570fea29f12ca390bee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans-Werner Hilse Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:50:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] um: Do not rely on libc to provide modify_ldt() modify_ldt() was declared as an external symbol. Despite the man page for this syscall telling that there is no wrapper in glibc, since version 2.1 there actually is, so linking to the glibc works. Since modify_ldt() is not a POSIX interface, other libc implementations do not always provide a wrapper function. Even glibc headers do not provide a corresponding declaration. So go the recommended way to call this using syscall().
