Details

Summary

Existing linuxulator platforms (i386, amd64) support legacy syscalls, such as non-*at ones like open, but arm64 and other new platforms do not.

Wrap these in #ifdef LINUX_LEGACY_SYSCALLS, #defined in the MD linux.h files. We may need finer grained control in the future but this is sufficient for now.

will add #ifdef LINUX_LEGACY_SYSCALLS around these static fns too

How will this work if we decide to add linux32 on arm64? I expect we will need to implement the legacy syscalls there.

Looks like the syscall files are compiled separately into linux.ko and linux64.ko so we can just #define LINUX_LEGACY_SYSCALLS for 32-bit arm.
