Description

From derek.br...@gmail.com on December 10, 2010 17:58:16

PR 519781

As more and more obscure/complex syscall in/out handling is added (xref PR 406302) we're going to need tests of all that code.

I've added recent syscall processing that needs more testing: ipc_sem_len() and rest of SYS_ipc, SYS_socketcall, SYS_select, SYS_pselect6, SYS_prctl.

Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/drmemory/issues/detail?id=176

Contributor guide

Research direction
Write comprehensive tests for each system call's in/out parameter handling, covering SYS ipc, SYS socketcall, SYS select, SYS pselect6, SYS prctl, and others.
