Daniel T. Lee 1d0c5f6f3d samples/bpf: Use kyscall instead of kprobe in syscall tracing program
Syscall tracing using kprobe is quite unstable. Since it uses the exact
name of the kernel function, the program might broke due to the rename
of a function. The problem can also be caused by a changes in the
arguments of the function to which the kprobe connects.

In this commit, ksyscall is used instead of kprobe. By using ksyscall,
libbpf will detect the appropriate kernel function name.
(e.g. sys_write -> __s390_sys_write). This eliminates the need to worry
about which wrapper function to attach in order to parse arguments.

In addition, ksyscall provides more fine method with attaching system
call, the coarse SYSCALL helper at trace_common.h can be removed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
