    syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up syscall stub naming convention · e145242e
    Dominik Brodowski authored
    Tidy the naming convention for compat syscall subs. Hints which describe
    the purpose of the stub go in front and receive a double underscore to
    denote that they are generated on-the-fly by the SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
    
    For the generic case, this means (0xffffffff prefix removed):
    
     810f08d0 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)
    
     <inline>     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
    				# (takes original parameters as declared)
    
     810f1aa0 T   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
    				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
    				# casts them to the declared type)
    
     810f1aa0 T        sys_waitid	# alias to __se_sys_waitid() (taking
    				# parameters as declared), to be included
    				# in syscall table
    
    For x86, the naming is as follows:
    
     810efc70 t     kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)
    
     <inline>     __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
    				# (takes original parameters as declared)
    
     810efd60 t   __se_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
    				# helper (takes parameters of type long;
    				# casts them to the declared type)
    
     810f1140 T __ia32_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub,
    				# calls __se_sys_waitid(); to be included
    				# in syscall table
    
     810f1110 T        sys_waitid	# x86 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls
    				# __se_sys_waitid(); to be included in
    				# syscall table
    
    For x86, sys_waitid() will be re-named to __x64_sys_waitid in a follow-up
    patch.
