[Bug tapsets/14690] New: the syscall tapsets could be written to prefer the 'syscalls' tracepoints


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14690

             Bug #: 14690
           Summary: the syscall tapsets could be written to prefer the
                    'syscalls' tracepoints
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: tapsets
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dsmith@redhat.com
        Depends on: 14689
    Classification: Unclassified


If systemtap could find the 'syscalls' set of tracepoints, the syscall tapsets
could be written to prefer those tracepoints over using kprobes.  As an
example:

====
probe syscall.access = kernel.trace("sys_enter_access") !,
      kernel.function("sys_access").call
{
  # ... we'd probably need to use @defined() to get the correct arguments
}
====
