+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: restore INLINE_SYSCALL macro
+
+The MIPS specific INLINE_SYSCALL macro has been renamed to
+INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS with:
+
+ 763bbf9e9a27426c9be8322dca5ddf2cb4dbc464
+
+ syscall: unify part 2: NCS variety
+
+ Declare common NCS (non-constant syscall) variants and convert the
+ existing ports over to this.
+
+This change breaks system calls. The code generated with using of the
+new macro does not obey the restartable syscall convention used by the
+linux kernel. When it tries to restart the syscall the errno value is
+not being replaced by the syscall number.
+
+This causes weird behaviour of the 'ping' command in busybox for
+example:
+
+root@OpenWrt:/# ping 192.168.1.254
+PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254): 56 data bytes

+Here is the relevant assembler code parts of the 'recvfrom' function:
+
+with the current INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS:
+00000000 <__GI_recvfrom>:
+ ...
+ 2c: 24021050 li v0,4176
+ 30: 8fd1003c lw s1,60(s8)
+ 34: 8fd00038 lw s0,56(s8)
+ 38: 27bdffe0 addiu sp,sp,-32
+ 3c: afb00010 sw s0,16(sp)
+ 40: afb10014 sw s1,20(sp) <-- wrong
+ 44: 0000000c syscall
+ 48: 27bd0020 addiu sp,sp,32
+ ...
+
+with the old INLINE_SYSCALL:
+00000000 <__libc_recvfrom>:
+ ...
+ 28: 8fd0003c lw s0,60(s8)
+ 2c: 8fc20038 lw v0,56(s8)

+ 3c: 24021050 li v0,4176 <-- good
+ 40: 0000000c syscall

+Notes:
+
+The ideal solution would to fix the 'internal_syscall' macros to generate
+correct code for the NCS case as well. However the INLINE_SYSCALL macro
+generates smaller code if the syscall number is constant, so it is
+useful in such cases.
+
+Additionally, the current INLINE_SYSCALL_NCS in the 'mips/bits/syscall.h'
+is a duplicate of the one in the 'common/bits/syscalls-common.h' so it
+should be removed anyway.
