[PATCH 00/17] arch: convert everything to syscall.tbl

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

There are eight architectures using include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h,
which is still in an old format and not easily parsed by scripts.
In addition, arm64 uses the old format for the 32-bit arm compat syscalls,
despite them using the modern syscall.tbl format for the native calls.

As part of a larger cleanup, this converts all of them to use the new
format with a shared file. I was planning to post this earlier, but ended
up fixing up any system calls that have mismatched calling conventions
between kernel and userspace first, as that seemed more important.

I originally tried adding the same arch/*/kernel/syscalls/Makefile as used
on the other architectures, but ended up simplifying this in the process
to use a single set of Makefile rules in scripts/Makefile.asm-headers,
which in turn requires a few cleanups to arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild files.

Another prerequisite included in here is to make sys_clone3 get provided
on all architectures, though it remains broken and returns -ENOSYS on
hexagon, nios2, sh and sparc. To preserve the compile-time warning,
I added an explicit #warning for those that are marked broken.

Once we have the new table format in place everywhere, additional
improvements I have planned will be much easier, including:

 - generating machine-readable syscall API descriptions for each
   syscall on each architecture

 - type checking to ensure that the in-kernel prototype matches
   what userspace tools see

 - unifying the last common bits of all tables so that new syscalls
   only need to get added in one place

 - generate human-readable wrappers for native and compat syscalls
   on all architectures to replace the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros.
