This looks fine to me, but I'm curious about whether this is supposed to work with compat syscalls as well, where the prefix is "__arm64_compat_".
If we broadly follow the x86 lead, we'd have:
return (!strncmp(sym, "__arm64_", 8) && !strcmp(sym + 8, name)) || (!strncmp(sym, "__arm64_compat_", 15) && !strcmp(sym + 15, name));
Do we need to handle compat (i.e. 32-bit) tasks here?
Only if you want to trace compat syscalls as well ;-)
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,
