      ia64: add system call table generation support · ffec9214
      Firoz Khan authored 
      The system call tables are in different format in all
architecture and it will be difficult to manually add,
modify or delete the syscall table entries in the res-
pective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and
which will generate the uapi header and syscall table
file. This change will also help to unify the implemen-
tation across all architectures.

The system call table generation script is added in
kernel/syscalls directory which contain the scripts to
generate both uapi header file and system call table
files. The syscall.tbl will be input for the scripts.

syscall.tbl contains the list of available system calls
along with system call number and corresponding entry
point. Add a new system call in this architecture will
be possible by adding new entry in the syscall.tbl file.

Adding a new table entry consisting of:
  	- System call number.
	- ABI.
	- System call name.
	- Entry point name.

syscallhdr.sh and syscalltbl.sh will generate uapi header
unistd_64.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both
.sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate
the header and table files. unistd_64.h will be included
by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by
kernel/entry.S - the real system call table.

ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have similar support.
I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic
solution.

      ia64: add an offset for system call number · bf03ebfe
      Firoz Khan authored 
      The system call number in ia64 architecture starts with 1024.
But most of the other architecute starts with 0. In order to
come up with a common implementation to generate uapi header
we need to add an offset - __NR_Linux with a value 1024.

One of the patch in this patch series does have a script to
generate uapi header which uses syscall.tbl file. In syscall-
.tbl contain system call number. With the use of __NR_Linux,
we can start the number from 0 instead of 1024.

      ia64: add __NR_syscalls along with NR_syscalls · d7c5e82c
      Firoz Khan authored 
      NR_syscalls macro holds the number of system call exist
in ia64 architecture. We have to change the value of NR-
_syscalls, if we add or delete a system call.

One of the patch in this patch series has a script which
will generate a uapi header based on syscall.tbl file.
The syscall.tbl file contains the total number of system
calls information. So we have two option to update NR_sy-
scalls value.

1. Update NR_syscalls in asm/unistd.h manually by count-
   ing the no.of system calls. No need to update NR_sys-
   calls until we either add a new system call or delete
   existing system call.

2. We can keep this feature it above mentioned script,
   that will count the number of syscalls and keep it in
   a generated file. In this case we don't need to expli-
   citly update NR_syscalls in asm/unistd.h file.

The 2nd option will be the recommended one. For that, I
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along
with NR_syscalls asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_syscalls
also added for making the name convention same across all
architecture. While __NR_syscalls isn't strictly part of
the uapi, having it as part of the generated header to
simplifies the implementation. We also need to enclose
this macro with #ifdef __KERNEL__ to avoid side effects.

      ia64: add __NR_old_getpagesize in uapi header file · d272a735
      Firoz Khan authored 
      sys_getpagesize entry is present in kernel/entry.S file to
support for old user interface. So we need to add an uapi
entry too.

Add __NR_old_getpagesize in uapi/asm/unistd.h in order to
not break old user space as it is reserved for backwards
compatibility with old __NR_getpagesize.
