      microblaze: add system call table generation support · fc06bac3
      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_32.h and syscall_table.h files respectively. Both
.sh files will parse the content syscall.tbl to generate
the header and table files. unistd_32.h will be included
by uapi/asm/unistd.h and syscall_table.h is included by
kernel/syscall_table.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.

      microblaze: move __NR_syscalls macro from asm/unistd.h · c0b2826a
      Firoz Khan authored 
      __NR_syscalls holds the number of system call exist in
microblaze 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-
_syscalls 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
moved the __NR_syscalls macro from asm/unistd.h to uapi-
/asm/unistd.h. 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.
