Actually I thought about that, but I found below comment in
arch/arm64/include/asm/ftrace.h

 * Because AArch32 mode does not share the same syscall table with AArch64,
 * tracing compat syscalls may result in reporting bogus syscalls or even
 * hang-up, so just do not trace them.

That's why I dropped compat syscall support.

Thank you,
