|
|
When the ABI of a system call is changed in the FreeBSD kernel, this
|
|
is implemented by leaving a compatibility system call using the old
|
|
ABI at the existing number and allocating a new system call number for
|
|
the version using the new ABI. As a convenience, when a system call
|
|
is caught by name (see <a href="catch-syscall.html#catch-syscall">catch syscall</a>), compatibility system calls
|
|
are also caught.
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, FreeBSD 12 introduced a new variant of the <code>kevent</code>
|
|
system call and catching the <code>kevent</code> system call by name catches
|
|
both variants:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) catch syscall kevent
|
|
Catchpoint 1 (syscalls 'freebsd11_kevent' [363] 'kevent' [560])
|
|
(gdb)
