The script can now be called to query the definition status of
system call numbers across all architectures, like this:
$ python3 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/glibcsyscalls.py query-syscall sync_file_range sync_file_range2
sync_file_range:
defined: aarch64 alpha csky hppa i386 ia64 m68k microblaze mips/mips32 mips/mips64/n32 mips/mips64/n64 nios2 riscv/rv64 s390/s390-32 s390/s390-64 sh sparc/sparc32 sparc/sparc64 x86_64/64 x86_64/x32
undefined: arm powerpc/powerpc32 powerpc/powerpc64
sync_file_range2:
defined: arm powerpc/powerpc32 powerpc/powerpc64
undefined: aarch64 alpha csky hppa i386 ia64 m68k microblaze mips/mips32 mips/mips64/n32 mips/mips64/n64 nios2 riscv/rv64 s390/s390-32 s390/s390-64 sh sparc/sparc32 sparc/sparc64 x86_64/64 x86_64/x32
This command lists the headers containing the system call numbers:
$ python3 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/glibcsyscalls.py list-headers
The argument parser code is based on a suggestion from Adhemerval Zanella.

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.
