The system call tables are in different format in all architecture and it will be difficult to manually add or modify the system calls in the respective files. To make it easy by keeping a script and which'll generate the header file and syscall table file so this change will unify them across all architectures.
The system call table generation script is added in syscalls directory which contain the script to generate both uapi header file system call table generation file and syscall.tbl file which'll be the 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.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. File syscall_table.h is included by syscall.S - the real system call table. Both .sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate the header and table files.
ARM, s390 and x86 architecuture does have the similar support. I leverage their implementation to come up with a generic solution. And this is the ground work for y2038 issue. We need to change 52 system call implementation and this work will reduce the effort by simply modify 52 entries in syscall.tbl.

it is interesting that arm and x86 scripts and they are "almost" the same. Is there any plan to put these script to generic location instead of keeping the same copy in architecture?
Having a single script is always our plan for long run. But I have to keep a separate versions for the start so each architecture can be handled in one series. Which would make easier to merge in the initial version.
we could probably add it to scripts/*.sh first, but that requires more coordination between the architectures.
fileguard name contains hardcoded macro prefix where in arm there is uapi detection. The same should be done architecture and sholdn't matter if you define macro with or without value.
Yes. As I told in my cover letter, I leverage x86/arm/s390 architecture implementation to come up with a generic solution. For the fileguard, I took x86 implementation as reference.

Arm(and partially s390) are using tabs for indentation. Any reason not to use it here too?
Sorry for this. My editor has a different setting for tab indentation. I'll fix this one while post the next patch series.
FYI, I have a list of this need to improve, those I'll correct in the next version of the patch series.
