Alpha has traditionally followed the OSF1 calling conventions
here, with its getxpid, getxuid, getxgid system calls returning
two different values in separate registers.
Following what glibc has done here, we can define getpid,
getuid and getgid to be aliases for getxpid, getxuid and getxgid
respectively, and add new system call numbers for getppid, geteuid
and getegid.

Other architectures commonly use __NR_umount2 for sys_umount,
only ia64 and alpha use __NR_umount here. In order to synchronize
the generated tables, use umount2 like everyone else, and add back
the old name from asm/unistd.h for compatibility.
For shmat, alpha uses the osf_shmat name, we can do the same thing
here, which means we don't have to add an entry in the __IGNORE
list now that shmat is mandatory everywhere
alarm, creat, pause, time, and utime are optional everywhere
these days, no need to list them here any more.
I considered also adding the regular versions of the get*id system
calls that have different names and calling conventions on alpha,
which would further help unify the syscall ABI, but for now
I decided against that.

System call table generation script must be run to gener-
ate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h files. This patch will
have changes which will invokes the script.
This patch will generate unistd_32.h and syscall_table.h
files by the syscall table generation script invoked by
alpha/Makefile and the generated files against the removed
files must be identical.
The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/-
asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file
will be included by kernel/systbls.S file.

NR_SYSCALLS macro holds the number of system call exist
in alpha 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_SY-
CALLS 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
added the __NR_syscalls macro in uapi/asm/unistd.h along
with NR_SYSCALLS asm/unistd.h. The macro __NR_syscalls
also added for making the name convention same across all
architecture. 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.

All the __IGNORE* entries are resides in the uapi header
file move to non uapi header asm/unistd.h as it is not
used by any user space applications.
It is correct to keep __IGNORE* entry in non uapi header
asm/unistd.h while uapi/asm/unistd.h must hold information
only useful for user space applications.
One of the patch in this patch series will generate uapi
header file. The information which directly used by the
user space application must be present in uapi file.

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
