Whew, that issue title is a mouthful.

The issue in question is newer linux ports, amr64 being the one in question, have dropped support for a number of "legacy" syscalls, ie open(2) was replaced by openat(2), and so on.

The ppc64 port also faced similar issues (select(2) has been replaced by pselect6(2) for example), but not as severe.

Rebuild the zsyscall_linux_*.go files in preperation for #9974

The only change is the ppc64/ppc64le files which were not rebuilt when
syscall.use was added.

Updates #9974

This proposal moves the definition of Pipe an Pipe2 from the generic
syscall_linux.go to the GOOS specific variants. This is in preparation
for the arm64 port.

For platforms where pipe2(2) is not supported in the minimum 2.6.23 kernel,
amd64 and 386, we retain pipe(2). For all other platforms pipe(2) is removed
and Pipe forwards to pipe2(2).

Because mksycall.pl does not sort symbols before generating the output file
the diff includes some unavoidable code moves as Pipe and Pipe2 are processed
latter in the run.

Updates #9974

This proposal moves the definition of Dup2 from the generic syscall_linux.go
to the GOOS specific variants. This is in preparation for the arm64 port.

For all existing platforms Dup2 is not affected. When arm64 is added we'll use
either a forwarding method to Dup3 or

	//sysnb        Dup2(oldfd int, newfd int) (err error) = SYS_DUP3

Because mksycall.pl does not sort symbols before generating the output file
the diff includes some unavoidable code moves as Dup2 is processed latter in
the run.

Updates #9974

The *at family of syscalls requires some constants to be defined in the
syscall package for linux. Add the necessary constants and regenerate
the ztypes_linux_*.go files.

Updates #9974

This proposal tackles the body of syscalls which have been replaced,
and are now deprecated in linux. This is needed for the arm64 port as
arm64 is the first linux architecture to remove the "legacy" forms of
these syscalls.

The *AT variants were added in kernel 2.6.16, so well before our 2.6.23
cutoff (hey, it'll even work on RHEL5).

Updates #9974

This change is in preparation for merging the arm64 platform.

Arm64 does not support SYS_DUP2 at all, so define a new constant to be
the minimum dup(2) version supported. This constant defaults to SYS_DUP2
on all existing platforms.

Looks like this was done by making, say, Open call Openat.
Sounds good to me.
