 330         * Add syscalls pointers detailed syscall tracing
 331         * Use perl for regexp
 332         * Support generation of syscall probes for those with pointers
 333         * Support detailed syscalls with 0 arguments
 334         * detailed syscall tracing (work in progress)
 335         * Expose /proc/lttng file
 336         * Implement detailed syscall event probe
 337         * Disable perf build for < 2.6.33 kernels
 338         * Syscall detail mode: generate syscall table
 339         * block instrumentation: write cmd as hex sequence
 340         * lttng-events TRACE_EVENT generator cleanup
 341         * block layer instrumentation: fix cmd field
 342         * Remove 0 args syscalls for now from type-aware syscall cb generator
 343         * Generate trace syscall table macros
 344         * Put syscall tracing without arg types back in place
 345         * Detailed system call tracing (TRACE_EVENT() generation for integer support)
 346         * lttng events probes: don't clash with "ctx" variable name
 347         * lib ring buffer must take private pointer copy before decrementing refcount
