OpenBSD: Removing syscall(2) from libc and kernel

>>eclipt+(OP)
It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

I wonder if there could be some way to sign a dynamic library to allow it to create direct system calls and then pass that as a kernel command line argument at boot?

>>__turb+3l
OpenBSD’s position is far from unique. It’s shared with MacOS (and iOS).

>>CHY872+gn
And windows.

And that's just the platforms which technically enforce it. Linux is essentially the only platform which actually supports raw syscalls, in the sense that it's considered a normal system API.
