Such an extension is definitely useful. The only drawback is that someone would have to update linux/*/syscallent*.h files. For some syscalls, e.g. indirect_ipccall syscalls like msgrcv(2), and syscalls with "long long" arguments where printllval() is used to print them, even the number of arguments differ from one architecture to another. -- ldv
