The break() system call was renamed (several times) starting in v3 AT&T
UNIX when C was invented and break was a language keyword. The last
vestage of a need for it to be called something else (eg obreak) was removed
in r225617 which consistantly prefixed all syscall implementations.

Change seems sensible to me.

245 | Change for a later commit -- on IRC @kib pointed this out to me in a different context: we shouldn't be calling the syscall entry point like this, but rather split sys_break into sys_break and kern_break, and call the latter from sys_break and linux_brk. |
