This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with the
kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include them.
Using the existing other arch scripts resulted in this error:
tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls//mksyscalltbl: 25: printf: __NR3264_ftruncate: expected numeric value
because, unlike other arches, asm-generic's unistd.h does things like:
#define __NR_ftruncate __NR3264_ftruncate
Turning the scripts printf's %d into a %s resulted in this in the
generated syscalls.c file:
static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = {
[__NR3264_ftruncate] = "ftruncate",
So we use the host C compiler to fold the macros, and print them out
from within a temporary C program, in order to get the correct output:
static const char *syscalltbl_arm64[] = {
[46] = "ftruncate",
Committer notes:
Testing this with a container with an old toolchain breaks because it
ends up using the system's /usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h, included
from tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h when what is desired is
for it to include tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h.
Since all that tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h is to set a
define and then include asm-generic/unistd.h, do that directly and use
tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h as the file to get the syscall
definitions to expand.
Testing it:
tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl /gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc gcc tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h
Now works and generates in the syscall string table.
Before it ended up as:
$ tools/perf/arch/arm64/entry/syscalls/mksyscalltbl /gcc-linaro-5.4.1-2017.05-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc gcc tools/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/unistd.h

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
