[LTP] [PATCH v6 0/3] Automatically generate syscalls.h

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Andrea,

> 	include/lapi/syscalls/generate_arch.sh 		path/to/kernel/source
> 	include/lapi/syscalls/generate_syscalls.sh 	path/to/syscalls.h

> Scripts are independent and they can be run separately.
> generate_syscalls.sh is the equivalent of regen.sh, but its code has

it would be nice to have this documented (as a separate effort, not blocking
to merge this). Specially the new generate_arch.sh, which is not part of
./configure run.

Kind regards,
Petr
