  • Set the x bit to some scripts to make them directly executable.

    Especially, scripts/checkdeclares.pl is not hooked by anyone.
    It should be executable since it is tedious to type
    'perl scripts/checkdeclares.pl'.

    The original patch [1] set the x bit properly, but it was lost when
    it was merged as commit 21917bded72c ("scripts: a new script for
    checking duplicate struct declaration").

  • Like syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh, add a simple script to generate
    the __NR_syscalls, which should not be exported to userspace.

    This script is useful to replace arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscallnr.sh,
    refactor arch/s390/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl, and eliminate the code
    surrounded by #ifdef __KERNEL__ / #endif from exported uapi/asm/unistd_*.h
    files.
