powerpc/tracing: Allow tracing of mmap syscalls
Currently sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() (32-bit only), are not visible to the syscall tracing machinery. This means users are not able to see the execution of mmap() syscalls using the syscall tracer. Fix that by using SYSCALL_DEFINE6 for sys_mmap() and sys_mmap2() so that the meta-data associated with these syscalls is visible to the syscall tracer. A side-effect of this change is that the return type has changed from unsigned long to long. However this should have no effect, the only code in the kernel which uses the result of these syscalls is in the syscall return path, which is written in asm and treats the result as unsigned regardless. Example output: cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542410: sys_mmap(addr: 7fff922a0000, len: 20000, prot: 3, flags: 812, fd: 3, offset: 1b0000) cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542443: sys_mmap -> 0x7fff922a0000 cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542668: sys_munmap(addr: 7fff922c0000, len: 6d2c) cat-3399 [001] .... 196.542677: sys_munmap -> 0x0 Signed-off-by:Balbir Singh <bsingharora@gmail.com> [mpe: Massage change log, add detail on return type change] Signed-off-by:
