Florian Weimer 4cf0d22305 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.

/* 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. */
