Dominik Brodowski d5a00528b5 syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based sys_*() to __x64_sys_*()
This rename allows us to have a coherent syscall stub naming convention on
64-bit x86 (0xffffffff prefix removed):

 810f0af0 t            kernel_waitid	# common (32/64) kernel helper

 <inline>            __do_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0be0 t          __se_sys_waitid	# C func calling inlined helper

 <inline>     __do_compat_sys_waitid	# inlined helper doing actual work
 810f0d80 t   __se_compat_sys_waitid	# compat C func calling inlined helper

 810f2080 T         __x64_sys_waitid	# x64 64-bit-ptregs -> C stub
 810f20b0 T        __ia32_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -> C stub[*]
 810f2470 T __ia32_compat_sys_waitid	# ia32 32-bit-ptregs -> compat C stub
 810f2490 T  __x32_compat_sys_waitid	# x32 64-bit-ptregs -> compat C stub

    [*] This stub is unused, as the syscall table links
	__ia32_compat_sys_waitid instead of __ia32_sys_waitid as we need
	a compat variant here.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
