I think the below patch should fix this, but I'm not able to build and
test on a 32-bit system at the moment - my system needs an update to be
able to run the qemu lkp-tests and my real 32-bit system is also having
problems of its own.  I'll verify that this actually works on the lkp-
tests once I get to the point of being able to test this on i386.

Thanks,

Tom


Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Remove bogus 64-bit synth_event_trace() vararg
 assumption

The vararg code in synth_event_trace() assumed the args were 64 bit
which is not the case on 32 bit systems.  Just use long which should
work on every system, and remove the u64 casts from the synth event
test module.
