First create a directory named linuxSRC to download linux source, and Change directory to the folder:

console:

mkdir /linuxSRC
cd linuxSRC

 

after that you should first download the linux source, inorder to download every source on the package repository of ubuntu you should go to your package list ,You need to uncomment the deb-src lines in the main file /etc/apt/sources.list not the extra files in/etc/apt/sources.list.d:
open software & updates
go to ubuntu software tab
check source code
save and exit

 

after that you should get your current version linux kernel and build dependencies:

console:

 

mkdir newKernel

cd newKernel

 

now download the linux source and decompress it:

console:

 

sudo apt-get install linux source

tar xjvf /usr/src/linux-source-<yourversion>tar.bz2

now go to the specified folder bellow :

 

/home/nubuntu/linuxSRC/linux-source-4.4.0/arch/x86/entry/syscalls

now open syscall_64.tbl or syscall_32.tbl (based on your system)(i use 64)

at the end add your hello syscall after the last number (here 333), with the following format, save and exit.
