The syscalls-hide.h file was generated from sys/kern/makesyscalls.sh from the third field of sys/kern/syscalls.master - POSIX, BSD or NOHIDE. However, three months ago Poul Henning-Kamp removed the syscalls-hide.h file and the relevant parts of makesyscalls.sh. I think that this may be scheduled for MFC'ing some time in the future, but you might have to ask phk for specifics. Also, I would also like to know what was the original purpose of the POSIX/BSD/NOHIDE distinction. BTW, should that field be removed from syscalls.master, too?
