Arch-specific implementations of syscall handlers are currently used over generic implementations for the following reasons: 1. Semantics unique to powerpc 2. Compatibility syscalls require 'argument padding' to comply with 64-bit argument convention in ELF32 abi. 3. Parameter types or order is different in other architectures. These syscall handlers have been defined prior to this patch series without invoking the SYSCALL_DEFINE or COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macros with custom input and output types. We remove every such direct definition in favour of the aforementioned macros. Also update syscalls.tbl in order to refer to the symbol names generated by each of these macros. Since ppc64_personality can be called by both 64 bit and 32 bit binaries through compatibility, we must generate both both compat_sys_ and sys_ symbols for this handler. As an aside: A number of architectures including arm and powerpc agree on an alternative argument order and numbering for most of these arch-specific handlers. A future patch series may allow for asm/unistd.h to signal through its defines that a generic implementation of these syscall handlers with the correct calling convention be emitted, through the __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_... convention.
