The table of syscall handlers and registered compatibility syscall
handlers has in past been produced using assembly, with function
references resolved at link time. This moves link-time errors to
compile-time, by rewriting systbl.S in C, and including the
linux/syscalls.h, linux/compat.h and asm/syscalls.h headers for
prototypes.

Well this is pretty cool.

Unrelated, but since commit ab66dcc76d6a, is
arch/powerpc/kernel/systbl_chk.sh unused in the tree?

Humour me, the asm version had this in rodata, does this change that or
does it somehow get put back in there? Should this be const?

Otherwise,

Even with const I still see it not landing in rodata for some reason.

$ grep -e start_rodata -e end_rodata -e sys_call_table .build/System.map
c000000000f90000 D __start_rodata
c0000000012b0000 R __end_rodata
c0000000027d51b0 D sys_call_table

vs before the series:

c000000000f80000 D __start_rodata
c000000000f805f0 D sys_call_table
c0000000012a0000 R __end_rodata
