Different Windows have different set of system calls, the client may need know the os version, e.g. running_on_Win7_or_later running_on_Win7SP1_or_later running_on_Vista_or_later get_windows_version

It is also true for Linux.

It looks like drsyscall should be the one provides such functions.

It looks like dr has dr_get_os_version.

I'm assuming you're asking for drsyscall to tell a client which syscalls are supported by the current underlying OS? I assume you're not asking for general info where a client can query "does Win2003 provide NtCreateThreadEx". Current-OS info is already implicitly there for Windows: ntoskrnl dynamically determines numbers and so unavailable syscalls will be absent, while win32k.sys has a table with unavailable syscalls marked as such. For Linux that info is not currently available.

Summary: add Linux syscall availability for currently running kernel (was: Add os version function supports into drsyscall)
