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"
