arch/x86/kernel/simple_add.c
arch/x86/kernel/Makefile
arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl
includes/linux/syscalls.h

Quick test program for system call (319 in this case)

Takes the numbers 4 and 5 and sends them to the simple add syscall which should result in 9

(compile and run with gcc syscall.c -o syscall; ./syscall)
