  • Generate system call tables and unistd_*.h automatically from the
    tables in arch/x86/syscalls. All other information, like NR_syscalls,
    is auto-generated, some of which is in asm-offsets_*.c.

    This allows us to keep all the system call information in one place,
    and allows for kernel space and user space to see different
    information; this is currently used for the ia32 system call numbers
    when building the 64-bit kernel, but will be used by the x32 ABI in
    the near future.

    This also removes some gratuitious differences between i386, x86-64
    and ia32; in particular, now all system call tables are generated with
    the same mechanism.
