I'll send an updated series which includes
"tracing: Declare system call tracepoints with TRACE_EVENT_SYSCALL"
(missing here), and which rework that patch to remove the mapping from
trace_sys_enter/exit to trace_syscall_sys_enter/exit which requires
modifying architecture code. A lot of churn for little value add.
