  • The new renameat2 syscall provides all the functionality of renameat
    with an additional flags argument, so make renameat optional so that
    future architectures can omit it without getting a warning.

    This patch doesn't affect existing architectures.

  • "echo" doesn't read from stdin, therefore the checksyscalls script didn't
    warn about not implemented system calls anymore since 29dc54c6
    ("checksyscalls: Use arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl as source").

    Use "cat" instead of "echo" which handles this correctly.

  • The usage help in the comments
    - refers to the wrong script name,
    - doesn't mention that $srctree must be set.

    Hence correct the script name, and derive the source tree path from the script
    path, so we no longer need to rely on $srctree being set by the caller.

  • The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
    easily expressed using waitid(). Although it's true that wait4()
    can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
    sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.

    Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
    converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
    available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
    syscalls at number 260.

  • A new architecture should only define a minimal set of system
    calls while still providing the full functionality. This version
    of unistd.h has gone through intensive review to make sure that
    by default it only enables syscalls that do not already have
    a more featureful replacement.

    It is modeled after the x86-64 version of unistd.h, which unifies
    the syscall number definition and the actual system call table
    in a single file, in order to keep them synchronized much more
    easily.

    This first version still keeps legacy system call definitions
    around, guarded by various #ifdefs, and with numbers larger
    than 1024. The idea behind this is to make it easier for
    new architectures to transition from a full list to the reduced
    set. In particular, the new microblaze architecture that should
    migrate to using the generic ABI headers can at least use an
    existing uClibc source tree without major rewrites during the
    conversion.
