[RFC PATCH] tracing: change syscall number type in struct syscall_trace_*

[Artem Savkov]

linux-rt-devel tree contains a patch that adds an extra member to struct
trace_entry. This causes the offset of args field in struct
trace_event_raw_sys_enter be different from the one in struct
syscall_trace_enter:

struct trace_event_raw_sys_enter {
        struct trace_entry         ent;                  /*     0    12 */

        /* XXX last struct has 3 bytes of padding */
        /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

        long int                   id;                   /*    16     8 */
        long unsigned int          args[6];              /*    24    48 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
        char                       __data[];             /*    72     0 */

        /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 4 */
        /* sum members: 68, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 3 */
        /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};

struct syscall_trace_enter {
        struct trace_entry         ent;                  /*     0    12 */

        /* XXX last struct has 3 bytes of padding */

        int                        nr;                   /*    12     4 */
        long unsigned int          args[];               /*    16     0 */

        /* size: 16, cachelines: 1, members: 3 */
        /* paddings: 1, sum paddings: 3 */
        /* last cacheline: 16 bytes */
};

This, in turn, causes perf_event_set_bpf_prog() fail while running bpf
test_profiler testcase because max_ctx_offset is calculated based on the
former struct, while off on the latter:

  10488         if (is_tracepoint || is_syscall_tp) {
  10489                 int off = trace_event_get_offsets(event->tp_event);
  10490
  10491                 if (prog->aux->max_ctx_offset > off)
  10492                         return -EACCES;
  10493         }

This patch changes the type of nr member in syscall_trace_* structs to
be long so that "args" offset is equal to that in struct
trace_event_raw_sys_enter.
