[PATCH 08/40] perf trace: Allow specifying number of syscall args for tracepointless syscalls

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Jul 26 2017 - 10:18:45 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

When we don't have syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}_NAME, we had to resort to
dumping all the 6 syscall arguments, fix it by providing that info for
such syscalls, like 'clone'.
