Create new simple System Call.
Hello to all!

I am new with unix and i need your help to make something..
First of all i want to inform you that i am working under the Minix 3 OS.

What i want to make is, a new system call in terms of the process manager.
This system call should take an integer as a parameter (input) and return the square of this number. i.e. input = 3, output = 3^2 = 9.

Thanks for your support, i really appreciate it! Smilie
