In investigating that failure, I noticed that those tests rely on FTRACE_SYSCALLS, which was not available on ARM. It didn't look like too much work to enable HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS, so that's what I did in the patches that follow. This is a request-for-comment because I don't entirely understand some of the changes I made, so it's quite likely that some parts are either out-and-out wrong, or at least can be done a better way. That said, the tests in "perf test" pass except for #1 (kallsyms), and strace still seems to report sensible values for system calls. Comments?
