    unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation · d35c7b0e
    Ulrich Drepper authored
    This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
    one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
    code.
    
    It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
    default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
    version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
    the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
    implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
    
    I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
    isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
    no obstacles.
