Introduces the CopyFileRange syscall which first appears in Linux 4.5.
Allows copying file content between file descriptors within the kernel
without transferring data to user space. This syscall also allows the
kernel to take advantage of reflinking or other fast copy methods on
supported file systems.

This CL introduces the Getrandom syscall. Allowing users of
sufficiently new kernels (3.17) to detect when the operating system
lacks enough entropy to generate cryptographic random data. See:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html
As we have updated the syscall numbers, the Getrandom function can
just be generated normally. The only other change is to mkerrors.sh
to include the GRND_* flags for getrandom from <linux/random.h>.
It is important to note that currently the mkerrors.sh script cannot
actually be run as it has fallen behind the 4.10 kernel. The GRND_*
flags were added manually.
This was originally part of a larger commit that was split up.
