That's a very good question. But it does not just compile but actually works. Probably because all the syscall wrappers mean that we don't actually generate the normal names. I just tried this: --- a/include/linux/syscalls.h +++ b/include/linux/syscalls.h @@ -468,7 +468,7 @@ asmlinkage long sys_lseek(unsigned int fd, off_t offset, asmlinkage long sys_read(unsigned int fd, char __user *buf, size_t count); asmlinkage long sys_write(unsigned int fd, const char __user *buf, size_t count); -asmlinkage long sys_readv(unsigned long fd, +asmlinkage long sys_readv(void *fd, for fun, and the compiler doesn't care either..
