We weren't using SYSCALL_DEFINE for sys_switch_endian(), which means
it wasn't able to be traced by CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS.
By using the macro we create the right metadata and the syscall is
visible. eg:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
# echo 1 | tee events/syscalls/sys_*_switch_endian/enable
# ~/switch_endian_test
# cat trace
...
switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175164: sys_switch_endian()
switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175167: sys_switch_endian -> 0x5555aaaa5555aaaa
switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175169: sys_switch_endian()
switch_endian_t-3604 [009] .... 315.175169: sys_switch_endian -> 0x5555aaaa5555aaaa

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
