Subject: [PATCH 3.2 102/164] tracing/syscalls: Fix perf syscall tracing
 when syscall_nr == -1

3.2.65-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

commit 60916a9382e88fbf5e54fd36a3e658efd7ab7bed upstream.

syscall_get_nr can return -1 in the case that the task is not executing
a system call.

This patch fixes perf_syscall_{enter,exit} to check that the syscall
number is valid before using it as an index into a bitmap.
