Linux: Add tables with system call numbers The new tables are currently only used for consistency checks with the installed kernel headers and the architecture-independent system call names table. They are based on Linux 5.4. The goal is to use these architecture-specific tables to ensure that system call wrappers are available irrespective of the version of the installed kernel headers. The tables are formatted in the form of C header files so that they can be used directly in an #include directive, without external preprocessing. (External preprocessing of a plain table file would introduce cross-subdirectory dependency issues.) However, the intent is that they can still be treated as tables and can be processed by simple tools. The irregular system call names on 32-bit arm add a complication. The <fixup-asm-unistd.h> header is introduced to work around that, and the system calls are listed under regular names in the <arch-syscall.h> file. A make target, update-syscalls-list, is added to patch the glibc sources with data from the current kernel headers. Reviewed-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>

/* Some architectures have irregular system call names in
<asm/unistd.h>. glibc assumes that system call numbers start with
__NR_* and lists the system calls under proper names in
<arch-syscall.h>.
During consistency tests, <fixup-asm-unistd.h> is included after
the kernel's <asm/unistd.h>, to introduce aliases as necessary to
match the glibc definitions in <arch-syscall.h>.
Most architectures do not need these fixups, so the default header
is empty. */
