Most of architectures generate syscall headers at the compile time in a similar way. As of v5.11-rc1, 12 architectures duplicate similar shell scripts: $ find arch -name syscallhdr.sh | sort arch/alpha/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/arm/tools/syscallhdr.sh arch/ia64/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/m68k/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/microblaze/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/parisc/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/powerpc/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/sh/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/sparc/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh arch/xtensa/kernel/syscalls/syscallhdr.sh My goal is to unify them into scripts/syscallhdr.sh.

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.
