* 'tracing-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: (40 commits)
  tracing: Separate raw syscall from syscall tracer
  ring-buffer-benchmark: Add parameters to set produce/consumer priorities
  tracing, function tracer: Clean up strstrip() usage
  ring-buffer benchmark: Run producer/consumer threads at nice +19
  tracing: Remove the stale include/trace/power.h
  tracing: Only print objcopy version warning once from recordmcount
  tracing: Prevent build warning: 'ftrace_graph_buf' defined but not used
  ring-buffer: Move access to commit_page up into function used
  tracing: do not disable interrupts for trace_clock_local
  ring-buffer: Add multiple iterations between benchmark timestamps
  kprobes: Sanitize struct kretprobe_instance allocations
  tracing: Fix to use __always_unused attribute
  compiler: Introduce __always_unused
  tracing: Exit with error if a weak function is used in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Move conditional into update_funcs() in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Add regex for weak functions in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Move mcount section search to front of loop in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Fix objcopy revision check in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Check absolute path of input file in recordmcount.pl
  tracing: Correct the check for number of arguments in recordmcount.pl

 ---------------------
 
-<details to be filled>
+You need very few things to get the syscalls tracing in an arch.
+
+- Have a NR_syscalls variable in <asm/unistd.h> that provides the number
+  of syscalls supported by the arch.
+- Implement arch_syscall_addr() that resolves a syscall address from a
+  syscall number.
+- Support the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT thread flags
+- Put the trace_sys_enter() and trace_sys_exit() tracepoints calls from ptrace
+  in the ptrace syscalls tracing path.
+- Tag this arch as HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.

+# Later on boot up, the kernel will read this list, save the locations and turn

 #
 # This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original

 #
-# The references to the call sites are offsets from the section of text

+#
+# But where this section will reside finally in vmlinx is undetermined at
+# this point. So we can't use this kind of offsets to record the final

+#
+# The trick is to change the call offset referring the start of a section to
+# referring a function symbol in this section. During the link step, 'ld' will
+# compute the final address according to the information we record.
 #
-# The trick is to find a way to record the beginning of the section.
-# The way we do this is to look at the first function in the section
-# which will also be the location of that section after final link.
 # e.g.
 #
 #  .section ".sched.text", "ax"
-#  .globl my_func
-#  my_func:
 #        [...]
-#        call mcount  (offset: 0x5)

+#        call mcount  (offset: 0x10)
 #        [...]
 #        ret
-#  other_func:
+#  .globl fun2
+#  func2:             (offset: 0x20)
 #        [...]
-#        call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
+#        [...]
+#        ret
+#  func3:
+#        [...]
+#        call mcount (offset: 0x30)
 #        [...]
 #
 # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
-# offset from .sched.text. If we make another file called tmp.s with:
+# offset from .sched.text. If we choose global symbol func2 as a reference and
+# make another file called tmp.s with the new offsets:
 #
 #  .section __mcount_loc
-#  .quad  my_func + 0x5
-#  .quad  my_func + 0x1b
+#  .quad  func2 - 0x10
+#  .quad  func2 + 0x10
 #
-# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it to the original
+# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original
