[PATCH] tracing/x86: Update syscall trace events to handle new x86 syscall func names
From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Apr 17 2018 - 11:54:49 EST
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Arnaldo noticed that the latest kernel is missing the syscall event system
directory in x86. I bisected it down to d5a00528b58c ("syscalls/core,
syscalls/x86: Rename struct pt_regs-based sys_*() to __x64_sys_*()").
The system call trace events are special, as there is only one trace event
for all system calls (the raw_syscalls). But a macro that wraps the system
calls creates meta data for them that copies the name to find the system
call that maps to the system call table (the number). At boot up, it does a
kallsyms lookup for this mapping. If it does not find a function, then that
system call is ignored.
Because the x86 system calls had "__x86_" appended to the "sys" for the
names, they do not match the default compare algorithm. As this was a
problem for power pc, the algorithm can be overwritten by the architecture.
The solution is to have x86 have its own algorithm to do the compare and
this brings back the system call trace events.
