Subject: [PATCH 01/27] scripts: add generic syscalltbl.sh

Most of architectures generate syscall headers at the compile time
in the almost same way.

The syscall table has the same format for all architectures. Each line
has 3, 4 or 5 fields; syscall number, ABI, syscall name, native entry
point, and compat entry point. The syscall table is processed by
syscalltbl.sh script into header files.

Despite the same pattern, scripts are maintained per architecture,
which results in code duplication and bad maintainability.

As of v5.11-rc1, 12 architectures duplicate similar shell scripts:

  $ find arch -name syscalltbl.sh | sort
  arch/alpha/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/arm/tools/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/ia64/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/m68k/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/microblaze/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/parisc/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/sh/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/sparc/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh
  arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/syscalltbl.sh

My goal is to unify them into a single file, scripts/syscalltbl.sh.

For example, the i386 syscall table looks like this:

  0  i386  restart_syscall  sys_restart_syscall
  1  i386  exit             sys_exit
  2  i386  fork             sys_fork
  3  i386  read             sys_read
  4  i386  write            sys_write
  5  i386  open             sys_open              compat_sys_open
  ...

scripts/syscalltbl.sh generates the following code:

  __SYSCALL(0, sys_restart_syscall)
  __SYSCALL(1, sys_exit)
  __SYSCALL(2, sys_fork)
  __SYSCALL(3, sys_read)
  __SYSCALL(4, sys_write)
  __SYSCALL_WITH_COMPAT(5, sys_open, compat_sys_open)
  ...

Then, the i386 kernel will do:

  #define __SYSCALL_WITH_COMPAT(nr, native, compat) __SYSCALL(nr, native)

and the x86_64 kernel will do:

  #define __SYSCALL_WITH_COMPAT(nr, native, compat) __SYSCALL(nr, compat)

I noticed all 32/64 bit architectures can be covered by the same
pattern. Having an arch-specific script is fine if there is a good
reason to do so, but a single generic script should work for this case.
