Will architectures implement subsets of these functions? (i.e. instead
of each of the defines, is CONFIG_ENTRY_GENERIC sufficient for the
no-op inlines?)

Actually, I've been meaning to clean this up. It's not needed at all.
This was left over from the seccomp fast-path code that got ripped out a
while ago. seccomp already has everything it needs to do this work, so
just:

	__secure_computing(NULL);

is sufficient for every architecture that supports seccomp. (See kernel/seccomp.c
populate_seccomp_data().)

And if you want more generalization work, note that the secure_computing()
macro performs a TIF test before calling __secure_computing(NULL). But
my point is, I think arch_syscall_enter_seccomp() is not needed.

Similarly, I think these can be redefined in the generic case
using the existing accessors for syscall arguments, etc. e.g.
arch_syscall_enter_audit() is not needed for any architecture, and the
generic is:

	unsigned long args[6];

        syscall_get_arguments(task, regs, args);
	audit_syscall_entry(syscall_get_nr(current, regs),
			    args[0], args[1], args[2], args[3]);
