[PATCH v4 0/4] tracing: tweaks for generic syscall events

From: Josh Stone
Date: Mon Aug 24 2009 - 17:43:46 EST


This patch series moves the callbacks for the syscall tracepoints to the
definition site, and adds generic TRACE_EVENTs which capture all syscall
arguments.

New in v3:
- Give the thread flag a more generic name: TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT.
- Move the regfuncs to arch-specific files, per Jason's suggestion.
- Change _WITH_CALLBACK to just _FN, per Ingo's suggestion.

New in v4:
- Give the config flag a more generic name: HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.
- Undo the arch reorg of the regfuncs, but conditionalize on above.


Sample trace output:
sendmail-974 [000] 55665.464492: sys_enter: NR 14 (1, 7fff60f3af40, 7fff60f3aec0, 8, 0, 7fb1b6a05161)
