    syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up compat syscall stub naming convention · 5ac9efa3
    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 COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx()
    macro.
    
    For the generic case, this means:
    
    t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)
    
        __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
    				# (takes original parameters as declared)
    
    T   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# sign-extending C function calling inlined
    				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
    				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
    				# the declared type)
    
    T        compat_sys_waitid      # alias to __se_compat_sys_waitid()
    				# (taking parameters as declared), to
    				# be included in syscall table
    
    For x86, the naming is as follows:
    
    t            kernel_waitid	# common C function (see kernel/exit.c)
    
        __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing the actual work
    				# (takes original parameters as declared)
    
    t   __se_compat_sys_waitid      # sign-extending C function calling inlined
    				# helper (takes parameters of type long,
    				# casts them to unsigned long and then to
    				# the declared type)
    
    T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# IA32_EMULATION 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub,
    				# calls __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be
    				# included in syscall table
    
    T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub, calls
    				# __se_compat_sys_waitid(); to be included
    				# in syscall table
    
    If only one of IA32_EMULATION and x32 is enabled, __se_compat_sys_waitid()
    may be inlined into the stub __{ia32,x32}_compat_sys_waitid().
