Adding a new system call

[Karane Mariano Vieira <karane@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I tried to implement a new system call. I used the instructions of
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/lksct/index.html

in the linux kernel 2.6.11.8

I compiled and I made a program example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <asm/arch/unistd.h>
#include <linux/linkage.h>

_syscall0(int,cloak)

int main(){

	printf("Chamando cloak com pid 1\n");
	cloak();
	return 0;
}

The coak() is supposed to print a message, we could see it using
dmesg. But, it doesnt happen.

I also added the system call in the entry.S file.

What can I do to solve this problem? The sample program runs, but the
system call has no effect.
