[RFC][PATCH] x86, syscalls: use SYSCALL_DEFINE() macros for sys_modify_ldt()

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Fri Oct 13 2017 - 16:41:27 EST



I noticed that we don't have tracepoints for sys_modify_ldt(). I
think that's because we define it directly instead of using the
normal SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macros.

Is there a reason for that, or were they just missed when the
macros were created?
