[PATCH RFC v3 0/8] syscalls: Add a shared table for all archs

["André Almeida" <andrealmeid@igalia.com>]

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 and sparc, 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 v3:
- Removed x86 for now, let's wait till x32 is dropped
- Added much more archs
- v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260727-tonyk-syscall_table-v2-0-95d4f1ee471f@igalia.com

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/20260724-tonyk-syscall_table-v1-0-9c53188423da@igalia.com
