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.

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 Restructured Text 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.
