Merge tag 'trace-5.1-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace

Pull syscall-get-arguments cleanup and fixes from Steven Rostedt:
"Andy Lutomirski approached me to tell me that the
syscall_get_arguments() implementation in x86 was horrible and gcc
certainly gets it wrong.

He said that since the tracepoints only pass in 0 and 6 for i and n
repectively, it should be optimized for that case. Inspecting the
kernel, I discovered that all users pass in 0 for i and only one file
passing in something other than 6 for the number of arguments. That
code happens to be my own code used for the special syscall tracing.

That can easily be converted to just using 0 and 6 as well, and only
copying what is needed. Which is probably the faster path anyway for
that case.

Along the way, a couple of real fixes came from this as the
syscall_get_arguments() function was incorrect for csky and riscv.

x86 has been optimized to for the new interface that removes the
variable number of arguments, but the other architectures could still
use some loving and take more advantage of the simpler interface"

- * @maxargs:		number of elements in @args to fill
- * @sp:			filled with user stack pointer

- * If @target is blocked in a system call, returns zero with *@callno

  * as when it's stopped for signal handling or syscall exit tracing.
