NAME         top

       syscalls - Linux system calls

SYNOPSIS         top

       Linux system calls.

DESCRIPTION         top

       The system call is the fundamental interface between an application
       and the Linux kernel.
   System calls and library wrapper functions
       System calls are generally not invoked directly, but rather via
       wrapper functions in glibc (or perhaps some other library).  For
       details of direct invocation of a system call, see intro(2).  Often,
       but not always, the name of the wrapper function is the same as the
       name of the system call that it invokes.  For example, glibc contains
       a function truncate() which invokes the underlying "truncate" system
       call.
       Often the glibc wrapper function is quite thin, doing little work
       other than copying arguments to the right registers before invoking
       the system call, and then setting errno appropriately after the
       system call has returned.  (These are the same steps that are
       performed by syscall(2), which can be used to invoke system calls for
       which no wrapper function is provided.)  Note: system calls indicate
       a failure by returning a negative error number to the caller; when
       this happens, the wrapper function negates the returned error number
       (to make it positive), copies it to errno, and returns -1 to the
       caller of the wrapper.
       Sometimes, however, the wrapper function does some extra work before
       invoking the system call.  For example, nowadays there are (for
       reasons described below) two related system calls, truncate(2) and
       truncate64(2), and the glibc truncate() wrapper function checks which
       of those system calls are provided by the kernel and determines which
       should be employed.
   System call list
       Below is a list of the Linux system calls.  In the list, the Kernel
       column indicates the kernel version for those system calls that were
       new in Linux 2.2, or have appeared since that kernel version.  Note
       the following points:
       *  Where no kernel version is indicated, the system call appeared in
          kernel 1.0 or earlier.
       *  Where a system call is marked "1.2" this means the system call
          probably appeared in a 1.1.x kernel version, and first appeared in
          a stable kernel with 1.2.  (Development of the 1.2 kernel was
          initiated from a branch of kernel 1.0.6 via the 1.1.x unstable
          kernel series.)
       *  Where a system call is marked "2.0" this means the system call
          probably appeared in a 1.3.x kernel version, and first appeared in
          a stable kernel with 2.0.  (Development of the 2.0 kernel was
          initiated from a branch of kernel 1.2.x, somewhere around 1.2.10,
          via the 1.3.x unstable kernel series.)
       *  Where a system call is marked "2.2" this means the system call
          probably appeared in a 2.1.x kernel version, and first appeared in
          a stable kernel with 2.2.0.  (Development of the 2.2 kernel was
          initiated from a branch of kernel 2.0.21 via the 2.1.x unstable
          kernel series.)
       *  Where a system call is marked "2.4" this means the system call
          probably appeared in a 2.3.x kernel version, and first appeared in
          a stable kernel with 2.4.0.  (Development of the 2.4 kernel was
          initiated from a branch of kernel 2.2.8 via the 2.3.x unstable
          kernel series.)
       *  Where a system call is marked "2.6" this means the system call
          probably appeared in a 2.5.x kernel version, and first appeared in
          a stable kernel with 2.6.0.  (Development of kernel 2.6 was
          initiated from a branch of kernel 2.4.15 via the 2.5.x unstable
          kernel series.)
       *  Starting with kernel 2.6.0, the development model changed, and new
          system calls may appear in each 2.6.x release.  In this case, the
          exact version number where the system call appeared is shown.
          This convention continues with the 3.x kernel series, which
          followed on from kernel 2.6.39, and the 4.x kernel series, which
          followed on from kernel 3.19.
       *  In some cases, a system call was added to a stable kernel series
          after it branched from the previous stable kernel series, and then
          backported into the earlier stable kernel series.  For example
          some system calls that appeared in 2.6.x were also backported into
          a 2.4.x release after 2.4.15.  When this is so, the version where
          the system call appeared in both of the major kernel series is
          listed.
       The list of system calls that are available as at kernel 4.11 (or in
       a few cases only on older kernels) is as follows:

       On many platforms, including x86-32, socket calls are all multiplexed
       (via glibc wrapper functions)  through  socketcall(2)  and  similarly
       System V IPC calls are multiplexed through ipc(2).
       Although  slots  are  reserved for them in the system call table, the
       following system calls are not implemented in  the  standard  kernel:
       afs_syscall(2),  break(2),  ftime(2),  getpmsg(2),  gtty(2), idle(2),
       lock(2),   madvise1(2),   mpx(2),   phys(2),   prof(2),    profil(2),
       putpmsg(2),   security(2),   stty(2),   tuxcall(2),   ulimit(2),  and
       vserver(2)   (see   also   unimplemented(2)).    However,   ftime(3),
       profil(3),  and  ulimit(3)  exist  as library routines.  The slot for
       phys(2) is in use since kernel 2.1.116 for  umount(2);  phys(2)  will
       never  be  implemented.   The getpmsg(2) and putpmsg(2) calls are for
       kernels patched to support STREAMS, and may never be in the  standard
       kernel.
       There  was  briefly  set_zone_reclaim(2),  added in Linux 2.6.13, and
       removed in 2.6.16; this system  call  was  never  available  to  user
       space.

NOTES         top

       Roughly speaking, the code belonging to the system call with number
       __NR_xxx defined in /usr/include/asm/unistd.h can be found in the
       Linux kernel source in the routine sys_xxx().  (The dispatch table
       for i386 can be found in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S.)
       There are many exceptions, however, mostly because older system calls
       were superseded by newer ones, and this has been treated somewhat
       unsystematically.  On platforms with proprietary operating-system
       emulation, such as parisc, sparc, sparc64, and alpha, there are many
       additional system calls; mips64 also contains a full set of 32-bit
       system calls.
       Over time, changes to the interfaces of some system calls have been
       necessary.  One reason for such changes was the need to increase the
       size of structures or scalar values passed to the system call.
       Because of these changes, certain architectures (notably,
       longstanding 32-bit architectures such as i386) now have various
       groups of related system calls (e.g., truncate(2) and truncate64(2))
       which perform similar tasks, but which vary in details such as the
       size of their arguments.  (As noted earlier, applications are
       generally unaware of this: the glibc wrapper functions do some work
       to ensure that the right system call is invoked, and that ABI
       compatibility is preserved for old binaries.)  Examples of systems
       calls that exist in multiple versions are the following:
       *  By now there are three different versions of stat(2): sys_stat()
          (slot __NR_oldstat), sys_newstat() (slot __NR_stat), and
          sys_stat64() (slot __NR_stat64), with the last being the most
          current.  A similar story applies for lstat(2) and fstat(2).
       *  Similarly, the defines __NR_oldolduname, __NR_olduname, and
          __NR_uname refer to the routines sys_olduname(), sys_uname() and
          sys_newuname().
       *  In Linux 2.0, a new version of vm86(2) appeared, with the old and
          the new kernel routines being named sys_vm86old() and sys_vm86().
       *  In Linux 2.4, a new version of getrlimit(2) appeared, with the old
          and the new kernel routines being named sys_old_getrlimit() (slot
          __NR_getrlimit) and sys_getrlimit() (slot __NR_ugetrlimit).
       *  Linux 2.4 increased the size of user and group IDs from 16 to 32
          bits.  To support this change, a range of system calls were added
          (e.g., chown32(2), getuid32(2), getgroups32(2), setresuid32(2)),
          superseding earlier calls of the same name without the "32"
          suffix.
       *  Linux 2.4 added support for applications on 32-bit architectures
          to access large files (i.e., files for which the sizes and file
          offsets can't be represented in 32 bits.)  To support this change,
          replacements were required for system calls that deal with file
          offsets and sizes.  Thus the following system calls were added:
          fcntl64(2), getdents64(2), stat64(2), statfs64(2), truncate64(2),
          and their analogs that work with file descriptors or symbolic
          links.  These system calls supersede the older system calls which,
          except in the case of the "stat" calls, have the same name without
          the "64" suffix.
          On newer platforms that only have 64-bit file access and 32-bit
          UIDs/GIDs (e.g., alpha, ia64, s390x, x86-64), there is just a
          single version of the UID/GID and file access system calls.  On
          platforms (typically, 32-bit platforms) where the *64 and *32
          calls exist, the other versions are obsolete.
       *  The rt_sig* calls were added in kernel 2.2 to support the addition
          of real-time signals (see signal(7)).  These system calls
          supersede the older system calls of the same name without the
          "rt_" prefix.
       *  The select(2) and mmap(2) system calls use five or more arguments,
          which caused problems in the way argument passing on the i386 used
          to be set up.  Thus, while other architectures have sys_select()
          and sys_mmap() corresponding to __NR_select and __NR_mmap, on i386
          one finds old_select() and old_mmap() (routines that use a pointer
          to an argument block) instead.  These days passing five arguments
          is not a problem any more, and there is a __NR__newselect that
          corresponds directly to sys_select() and similarly __NR_mmap2.
