There is a problem, detected using 'perf test', the last one:

[root@quaco ~]# perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
112: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : FAILED!
[root@quaco ~]# perf test -v "trace + vfs_getname"
112: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 611667
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
[root@quaco ~]#

Verbose didn't help, so I looked at the shell script for that test and
the problem is here:

[root@quaco ~]# perf list syscalls:sys_enter_open*

Trying to fix this now.

Please always run 'perf test' before and after your patches and before
sending it upstream.
