Thanks a lot -- this is good work! I went ahead and committed this to
the repo, but I would ask for a couple more things before we declare
this "complete". First, as Ananth pointed out, we will eventually need
to deal with the SYSCALL_WRAPPERS for some archs. Second is that we now
need to start nd_syscalls2.stp to get the full syscall set. Are you up
to tackling that as well?
Long term, we'll probably want to rename the dwarf syscall tapset to
something like dw_syscall, and then provide aliases like:
probe syscall.foo = dw_syscall.foo !, nd_syscall.foo {}
