The Linux API is composed out of the system call interface of the Linux kernel, the GNU C Library (by GNU), libcgroup, [1] libdrm, libalsa and libevdev [2] (by freedesktop.org). Linux API vs. POSIX API. The Linux API includes the kernel–user space API, which allows code in user space to access system resources and services of the Linux kernel ...

A high-level comparison of in-kernel and kernel-to-userspace APIs and ABIs The Linux kernel and GNU C Library define the Linux API. After compilation, the binaries offer an ABI. Keeping this ABI stable over a long time is important for ISVs. In computer software, an application binary interface (ABI) is an interface between two binary program ...
iproute2 utilities communicate with the Linux kernel using the netlink protocol. Some of the iproute2 utilities are often recommended over now-obsolete net-tools utilities that provide the same functionality. [4] [5] Below is a table of obsolete utilities and their iproute2 replacements.
For example, the Solaris operating system does so for both SPARC and x86-64. On the Linux side, Debian also ships an ILP32 userspace. The underlying reason is the somewhat "more expensive" nature of LP64 code, [8] just like it has been shown for x86-64. In that regard, the x32 ABI extends the ILP32-on-64bit concept to the x86-64 platform.
The set of the Linux kernel API that regards the interfaces exposed to user applications is fundamentally composed of UNIX and Linux-specific system calls. [201] A system call is an entry point into the Linux kernel. [202] For example, among the Linux-specific ones there is the family of the clone(2) system calls. [203]
For example, a function taking 5 integer arguments will take the first to fourth in registers, and the fifth will be pushed on top of the shadow space. So when the called function is entered, the stack will be composed of (in ascending order) the return address, followed by the shadow space (32 bytes) followed by the fifth parameter.
