Since NUL usually terminates strings in underlying syscalls, allowing
it when converting string arguments is a security risk, especially
when dealing with filenames. For example, a program might reason that
filename like "/root/..\x00/" is a subdirectory or "/root/" and allow
access to it, while underlying syscall will treat "\x00" as an end of
that string and the actual filename will be "/root/..", which might
be unexpected. Returning EINVAL when string arguments have NUL in
them makes sure this attack vector is unusable.

CL 3075041 says ARM is not little-endian, but my test suggests otherwise.
My test program is:
package main
import ("fmt"; "syscall"; "os")
func main() {
err := syscall.Fallocate(1, 1/*FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE*/, 0, int64(40960));
fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
}
Without this CL, ./test > testfile will show: file too large; and strace shows:
fallocate(1, 01, 0, 175921860444160) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
With this CL, ./test > testfile will show: <nil>; and strace shows:
fallocate(1, 01, 0, 40960) = 0
Quoting rsc:
"[It turns out that] ARM syscall ABI requires 64-bit arguments to use an
(even, odd) register pair, not an (odd, even) pair. Switching to "big-endian"
worked because it ended up using the high 32-bits (always zero in the tests
we had) as the padding word, because the 64-bit argument was the last one,
and because we fill in zeros for the rest of the system call arguments, up to
six. So it happened to work."
I updated mksyscall_linux.pl to accommodate the register pair ABI requirement,
and removed all hand-tweaked syscall routines in favor of the auto-generated
ones. These including: Ftruncate, Truncate, Pread and Pwrite.
Some recent Linux/ARM distributions do not bundle kernel asm headers,
so instead we always get latest asm/unistd.h from git.kernel.org (just like
what we do for FreeBSD).

Not all syscalls are implemented, but many are. On the suggestion
of Joel Sing <jsing@google.com>, the generated files were added
with hg add instead of hg cp, since they are generated on an OS
dependant basis.

- syscall (not os) now defines the Errno type.
- the low-level assembly functions Syscall, Syscall6, and so on
return Errno, not uintptr
- syscall wrappers all return error, not uintptr.

Add openbsd 386 syscall support, partially based on the existing
freebsd 386 syscall implementation.
FTR zerrors_openbsd_386.go cannot currently be completely built on
openbsd/i386 due to what appears to be a gcc bug. The constants can be
successfully generated with -m32 on openbsd/amd64 and the error
table can then be generated on openbsd/i386.

Add support for syscalls on openbsd amd64. This is based on the
existing freebsd amd64 implementation.
