I see. The newly added syscalls need to be copied from
include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h into the newly added
scripts/syscall.tbl. I am aware of this and was planning
to send this as a fixup afterward to avoid an awkward
four-way merge with the uretprobe and xattrat patches.

Based on your merge in 1dd7a574e54e ("Merge branch
'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/
git/trace/linux-trace.git"), I think we want this
to be in all syscall.tbl files:

diff --git a/scripts/syscall.tbl b/scripts/syscall.tbl
index b0ea892de12e..4873fa3ca496 100644

Though I'm still not sure what uretprobe is only added
to half the architectures at the moment. There is a chance
we need a different conditional for it than '64'.
