Alpha has traditionally followed the OSF1 calling conventions here, with its getxpid, getxuid, getxgid system calls returning two different values in separate registers. Following what glibc has done here, we can define getpid, getuid and getgid to be aliases for getxpid, getxuid and getxgid respectively, and add new system call numbers for getppid, geteuid and getegid.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
