Szabolcs Nagy f3f96f2daa add new syscall numbers from linux v5.1
syscall numbers are now synced up across targets (starting from 403 the
numbers are the same on all targets other than an arch specific offset)

IPC syscalls sem*, shm*, msg* got added where they were missing (except
for semop: only semtimedop got added), the new semctl, shmctl, msgctl
imply IPC_64, see

  linux commit 0d6040d4681735dfc47565de288525de405a5c99
  arch: add split IPC system calls where needed

new 64bit time_t syscall variants got added on 32bit targets, see

  linux commit 48166e6ea47d23984f0b481ca199250e1ce0730a
  y2038: add 64-bit time_t syscalls to all 32-bit architectures

new async io syscalls got added, see

  linux commit 2b188cc1bb857a9d4701ae59aa7768b5124e262e
  Add io_uring IO interface

  linux commit edafccee56ff31678a091ddb7219aba9b28bc3cb
  io_uring: add support for pre-mapped user IO buffers

a new syscall got added that uses the fd of /proc/<pid> as a stable
handle for processes: allows sending signals without pid reuse issues,
intended to eventually replace rt_sigqueueinfo, kill, tgkill and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo, see

  linux commit 3eb39f47934f9d5a3027fe00d906a45fe3a15fad
  signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall

on some targets (arm, m68k, s390x, sh) some previously missing syscall
numbers got added as well.

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
