Good point.

I found the culprit:

[    0.560002] event_trace_enable: ïGTïïïïï call ffffffff81613930 (core)                                                                                                      
[    0.564001] event_trace_enable: ïGTÈïïïï call ffffffff816139c0 (core) 

compudj@ok:~/git/rostedt/linux-trace$ objdump -t vmlinux |grep ffffffff81613930
ffffffff81613930 l     O .data	0000000000000090 event_sys_exit
compudj@ok:~/git/rostedt/linux-trace$ objdump -t vmlinux |grep ffffffff816139c0
ffffffff816139c0 l     O .data	0000000000000090 event_sys_enter

I'll look into those two sites tomorrow morning.

Thanks,

Mathieu
