[PATCH v6 00/13] syscalls: Add a shared table for all archs

While implementing a new syscall, we need to wire up it's number to the arch
table. Since syscall number 403, all architectures are on sync regarding the
number (except alpha), which make things a lot easier but more repetitive as
well. Have a look at commit b36d4b6aa88 ("arch: hookup listns() system call"),
with 15 lines of mostly:

  +470    common  listns                          sys_listns

There's already a "common" table shared with a bunch of archs at
`scripts/syscall.tbl`, but due to historical reasons some archs will never be
able to move to this table and share all the numbers.

The generic table starts from 403 (clock_gettime64), the first common syscall.

I've compile tested for arm32, arm64, s390, mips, sparc and alpha by comparing
the syscalls_*.h and unistd_*.h files generated before and after this patchset.
For most of cases the files are identical, for the few cases that they are not,
there's a note in the commit explaining why they are equivalent.

Thanks!

Changes in v6:
- Rebased on top of 7.3-rc0: new syscall fchroot()
- Fix compliance with POSIX shells
- Add $(syscalltbl_common) to the prereq build files, so the build is triggered
if the common table changes
- v5: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]

Changes in v5:
- Add archs lists to Cc
- alpha: Change custom alpha_syscall to __syscall
- mips: Use "common" for all ABI tables
- mips: Kept it as a single table for n32/n64
- Fix bug introduced by mixing --offset and --compat-offset
- v4: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- Replace cln3 with clone3 in the ABIs
- mips: Get rid of custom mips ABIs (o32, n32, n64) and use 32 and 64
- mips: Unify n32 and n64 tables
- Add alpha to the syscall party, along with it's adaptations
- Remove --no-compat option and define SYSCALL_WITH_COMPAT() macro for archs
that need it
- v3: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Removed x86 for now, let's wait till x32 is dropped
- Added much more archs
- v2: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- Managed to move to the real first common syscall: 403 (clock_gettime64)
- Added -no-compat option to be used with x86_64
- v1: https://patch.msgid.link/[email protected]
