Line 36: === {{Anchor\|System Call Interface\|SCI}} System call interface of the Linux kernel=== The ''system call interface'' of a kernel is athe set of all implemented and available [[system calls]] in a kernel. In the Linux kernel, various subsystems, such as the [[Direct Rendering Manager]] (DRM), define their own system calls, all of which are part of the system call interface. Various issues with the organization of the Linux kernel system calls are being publicly discussed. Issues have been pointed out by Andy Lutomirski, [[Michael Kerrisk]] and others.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues/2014/165/Kernel-News \|title=System Call Organization}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|url=https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/27/571 \|title= Making a universal list of syscalls? \|publisher=[[LKML]] \|date=2014-02-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/585415/ \|title=Flags as a system call API design pattern \|publisher=[[LWN.net]] \|date=2014-02-12}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/446528/ \|title=On vsyscalls and the vDSO \|publisher=[[LWN.net]] \|date=2011-06-08}}</ref>
