Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
d80f2996b8
Most of this is part of my ongoing work to clean up the system call tables. In this bit, all of the newer architectures are converted to use the machine readable syscall.tbl format instead in place of complex macros in include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h. This follows an earlier series that fixed various API mismatches and in turn is used as the base for planned simplifications. The other two patches are dead code removal and a warning fix. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEiK/NIGsWEZVxh/FrYKtH/8kJUicFAmaVB1cACgkQYKtH/8kJ UicMqxAAnYKOxfjoMIhYYK6bl126wg/vIcDcjIR9cNWH21Nhn3qxn11ZXau3S7xv 3l/HreEhyEQr4gC2a70IlXyHUadYOlrk+83OURrunWk1oKPmZlMKcfPVbtp8GL7x PUNXQfwM1XZLveKwufY24hoZdwKC+Y/5WLc1t0ReznJuAqgeO2rM9W5dnV5bAfCp he3F5hFcr196Dz3/GJjJIWrY+cbwfmZWsNtj1vFTL5/r/LuCu8HTkqhsGj8tE5BJ NGVEEXbp5eaVTCIGqJWhnuZcsnKN9kM51M7CtdwWf8OTckUVuJap5OsDVKQkWkGl bLPbd2jhDltph0sah51hAIvv4WdkThW76u9FRW7KR3fo7ra67eF7l5j7wc1lE2JB GwLJ1X56Bxe1GhvvNTlDmb7DrnlP/DMPuRv3Z6xyH6l8iZ2pMGlnAxuw6Bs1s6Y5 WSs36ZpnS0ctgjfx37ZITsZSvbKFPpQFJP4siwS8aRNv/NFALNNdFyOCY5lNzspZ 0dxwjn6/7UpHE4MKh6/hvCg2QwupXXBTRytibw+75/rOsR+EYlmtuONtyq2sLUHe ktJ5pg+8XuZm27+wLffuluzmY7sv2F8OU4cTYeM60Ynmc6pRzwUY6/VhG52S1/mU Ua4VgYIpzOtlLrYmz5QTWIZpdSFSVbIc/3pLriD6hn4Mvg+BwdA= =XOhL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'asm-generic-6.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic Pull asm-generic updates from Arnd Bergmann: "Most of this is part of my ongoing work to clean up the system call tables.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
