[RFC][PATCH 0/2] Syscalls tracing

[Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>]

Here is a first attempt, quick one-shot, to provide a syscall tracing
infrastructure on ftrace.

The RFC prefix is here to reflect its ugliness on various parts.
The compromise between tracing reliabilty and speed is hard to balance.
For example I guess the basic and horrid string mask should be dropped in favour
of something else, which takes care of the volatile strings from the userspace.

But I hope a lot of ideas to make it better will come along this discussion.

  tracing/x86: basic implementation of syscall tracing for x86-64
