The only users that calls syscall_get_arguments() with a variable and not a hard coded '6' is ftrace_syscall_enter(). syscall_get_arguments() can be optimized by removing a variable input, and always grabbing 6 arguments regardless of what the system call actually uses. Change ftrace_syscall_enter() to pass the 6 args into a local stack array and copy the necessary arguments into the trace event as needed. This is needed to remove two parameters from syscall_get_arguments(). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161107213233.627583542@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>
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.
