Or better, is there another way to patch a system call inside a kext? There is no good way to patch system calls. Regards, Justin -- Justin C.

I need to patch a system call using the sysent routine in a KEXT. No, you don't. It's unsupported, and if this is intended as a product, your product will continually break as new releases come out. Think of another way to do what you want. As far as I know, for a kext, I should only use headers from Kernel.framework and sys/syscall.h is a userland header... Yup; kexts are built with headers only from the kernel framework; the build does not look in "the usual places". This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
