- Consolidate the macros for .byte ... opcode sequences
- Deduplicate register offset defines in include files
- Simplify the ia32,x32 compat handling of the related syscall tables to
get rid of #ifdeffery.
- Clear all EFLAGS which are not required for syscall handling
- Consolidate the syscall tables and switch the generation over to the
generic shell script and remove the CFLAGS tweaks which are not longer
required.
- Use 'int' type for system call numbers to match the generic code.
- Add more selftests for syscalls

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.
