I tried my best to make things simpler. I also tried this in :- [PATCH 17/22] sh: Introducing asm/syscalls.h [PATCH 21/22] x86: Introducing asm/syscalls.h
For same architecture it looks complex for 32 and 64 bit.
You can Imagine how linux/syscalls.h will look if we add all architectures in it.
And you can imagine what will be size of linux/syscalls.h. As more than 60% of arch dependent syscalls have totally different prototypes.
Thank you,
Jaswinder Singh.
