[lttng-dev] ARM syscall problems

As soon as I get everything working, I will submit the patches!
I was more concerned about the size of some of the values. For instance,
len of sys_arm_fadvise64_64 is 0xF1FF3ED800000000 and offset of
sys_sync_file_range2 0x100000000007. Both of these values seemed too
large, but now I realize that it's because of the data type of these
variables.
Thank you,
Ryan Kyser

You're getting close! I look forward to see those patches when they're
ready.

I'm CCing Avik and Nicolas, they might have a clue about this
high-numbered syscall number.

I guess what you dislike here is the 0x.... formatting ? If this is the
issue, just use "__field" instead of "__field_hex" in the SC_TRACE_EVENT
below.
