x64 syscall function table

Linux System Call Table

The following table lists the system calls for the Linux 2.2 kernel. It could also be thought of as an API for the interface between user space and kernel space. My motivation for making this table was to make programming in assembly language easier when using only system calls and not the C library (for more information on this topic, go tohttp://www.linuxassembly.org). On the left are the numbers of the system calls. This number will be put in register %eax. On the right of the table are the types of values to be put into the remaining registers before calling the software interrupt 'int 0x80'. After each syscall, an integer is returned in %eax.

For convenience, the kernel source file where each system call is located is linked to in the column labelled "Source". In order to use the hyperlinks, you must first copy this page to your own machine because the links take you directly to the source code on your system. You must have the kernel source installed (or linked from) under '/usr/src/linux' for this to work.

Note for sys_ipc (117): this syscall takes six arguments, so it can't fit into the five registers %ebx - %edi; the last parameter (not shown) is of type 'long'. This syscall requires a special call method where a pointer is put in %ebx which points to an array containing the six arguments.

I will now explain exactly where in the kernel source that I got the information in the table above. I do this because 1) changes in the source are bound to happen, 2) you might be curious, or 3) I might've made an error.
