Is there a reason some sys call numbers have embbed __ (double) quotes or (single) _ quotes?
Example: __NR__sysctl ../include/asm-i386/unistd.h __NR_sysctl ../include/asm-alpha/unistd.h
Where's any documentation on sys syscall?
Also, it seems there's a number of routines that are public they aren't used by anyone else (i.e. the do_xxxx, where xxxx is string, etc).
Quickly inspecting the code, can do_sysctl do anything useful (seems like it also returns an error).
(this was in 1.3.72).
