System call creation library

Parses syscalls.master and packages information into objects with methods. Modules reproduce the previously monolithic file auto-generation.

We generally assume that this script will be run by flua, however we've carefully crafted modules for it that mimic interfaces provided by modules available in ports. Currently, this script is compatible with lua from ports along with the compatible luafilesystem and lua-posix modules.

Usage

main.lua generates all files. Files are associated with their respective modules, and modules can be run as standalone scripts to generate specific files.

Examples

All files: # /usr/libexec/flua /usr/src/sys/tools/syscalls/main.lua /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.master
syscalls.h: # /usr/libexec/flua /usr/src/sys/tools/syscalls/scripts/syscalls.h /usr/src/sys/kern/syscalls.master

Organization

• root

  • main.lua - Main entry point that calls all scripts.

  • config.lua - Contains the global configuration table and associated configuration functions.

  • core (Core Classes)

    • syscall.lua - Packages each system call entry from syscalls.master into a system call object.

    • scarg.lua - Packages each argument for the system call into an argument object.

    • scret.lua - An object for the return value of the system call.

    • freebsd-syscall.lua - Contains the master system call table after processing.

  • scripts

    • init_sysent.lua - Generates init_sysent.c.

    • libsys_h.lua - Generates lib/libsys/_libsys.h.

    • syscall_h.lua - Generates syscall.h.

    • syscall_mk.lua - Generates syscall.mk.

    • syscalls.lua - Generates syscalls.c.

    • syscalls_map.lua - Generates lib/libsys/syscalls.map.

    • sysproto_h.lua - Generates sysproto.h.

    • systrace_args.lua - Generates systrace_args.c.

  • tools

    • util.lua - Contains utility functions.

    • generator.lua - Handles file generation for the library.
