implementation in x86 was horrible and gcc certainly gets it wrong. He said that since the tracepoints only pass in 0 and 6 for i and n repectively, it should be optimized for that case. Inspecting the kernel, I discovered that all users pass in 0 for i and only one file passing in something other than 6 for the number of arguments. That code happens to be my own code used for the special syscall tracing. That can easily be converted to just using 0 and 6 as well, and only copying what is needed. Which is probably the faster path anyway for that case. Along the way, a couple of real fixes came from this as the syscall_get_arguments() function was incorrect for csky and riscv. x86 has been optimized to for the new interface that removes the variable number of arguments, but the other architectures could still use some loving and take more advantage of the simpler interface. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCXKdi7RQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qjtiAQDaZbFaSgEbs99jjuAPDSZ0li8dyUOC 3KS5TyuLw+fEaAD/QZnKjplVFAfA5FxrABZ0ioIKDON4nLyESEb+xCv0gA4= =dTuo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'trace-5.1-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace Pull syscall-get-arguments cleanup and fixes from Steven Rostedt: "Andy Lutomirski approached me to tell me that the syscall_get_arguments() implementation in x86 was horrible and gcc certainly gets it wrong.
