From: Steven Rostedt The only users that calls syscall_get_arguments() with a variable and not a hard coded '6' is ftrace_syscall_enter(). syscall_get_arguments() can be optimized by removing a variable input, and always grabbing 6 arguments regardless of what the system call actually uses. Change ftrace_syscall_enter() to pass the 6 args into a local stack array and copy the necessary arguments into the trace event as needed. This is needed to remove two parameters from syscall_get_arguments().
