--- Comment #1 from David Smith <dsmith at redhat dot com> 2011-11-30 18:40:38 UTC ---
The reason why it is done this way in syscalls.stp is that in the kernel
sys_signalfd is just a wrapper around sys_signalfd4.  This way we
ignore the sys_signalfd call, and only catch the sys_signalfd4 call on
kernels with sys_signalfd4.

Unfortunately, as bug #11424 notes, '!' (optional and sufficient) doesn't work
for kprobe.function probes.  So, the above logic will be difficult to duplicate
in tapset/nd_syscalls.stp.
