Description Andrew Cagney 2006-08-01 13:28:42 UTC 
The i386 and x86-64 system call tables are different.  When a 64-bit ftrace
tracks a 32-bit app, it needs to:

- use the 32-bit system call table
- project the 32-bit register set onto the underlying 64-bit register set

It is similar for ppc32 app on ppc64.
Comment 3 Wu Zhou 2006-09-28 15:45:23 UTC 
This kind of bugs belongs to bi-arch ones.  What about creating a new tracker
for them.  So that we can know how it works in general?
