This work builds on the clean up of system call tables and removal of
libaudit by Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com>.

The system call table in perf trace is used to map system call numbers
to names and vice versa. Prior to these changes, a single table
matching the perf binary's build was present. The table would be
incorrect if tracing say a 32-bit binary from a 64-bit version of
perf, the names and numbers wouldn't match.

Change the build so that a single system call file is built and the
potentially multiple tables are identifiable from the ELF machine type
of the process being examined. To determine the ELF machine type, the
executable's maps are searched and the associated DSOs ELF headers are
read. When this fails and when live, /proc/pid/exe's ELF header is
read. Fallback to using the perf's binary type when unknown.

Remove some runtime types used by the system call tables and make
equivalents generated at build time.

v5: Add byte swap to dso__e_machine and fix comment as suggested by
    Namhyung.

v4: Add reading the e_machine from the thread's maps dsos, only read
    from /proc/pid/exe on failure and when live as requested by
    Namhyung. Add patches to add dso comments and remove unused
    dso_data variables that are unused without libunwind.

v3: Add Charlie's reviewed-by tags. Incorporate feedback from Arnd
    Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> on additional optional column and MIPS
    system call numbering. Rebase past Namhyung's global system call
    statistics and add comments that they don't yet support an
    e_machine other than EM_HOST.

v2: Change the 1 element cache for the last table as suggested by
    Howard Chu, add Howard's reviewed-by tags.
    Add a comment and apology to Charlie for not doing better in
    guiding:
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250114-perf_syscall_arch_runtime-v1-1-5b304e408e11@rivosinc.com/
    After discussion on v1 and he agreed this patch series would be
    the better direction.

Ian Rogers (11):
  perf dso: Move libunwind dso_data variables into ifdef
  perf dso: kernel-doc for enum dso_binary_type
  perf syscalltbl: Remove syscall_table.h
  perf trace: Reorganize syscalls
  perf syscalltbl: Remove struct syscalltbl
  perf dso: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a dso
  perf thread: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a thread
  perf trace beauty: Add syscalltbl.sh generating all system call tables
  perf syscalltbl: Use lookup table containing multiple architectures
  perf build: Remove Makefile.syscalls
  perf syscalltbl: Mask off ABI type for MIPS system calls
