This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled

    tracing/syscalls: Ignore numbers outside NR_syscalls' range

to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree 
which can be found at:

 http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue

This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt1.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please 
reply to this email.

Subject: tracing/syscalls: Ignore numbers outside NR_syscalls' range

commit 086ba77a6db00ed858ff07451bedee197df868c9 upstream.

ARM has some private syscalls (for example, set_tls(2)) which lie
outside the range of NR_syscalls.  If any of these are called while
syscall tracing is being performed, out-of-bounds array access will
occur in the ftrace and perf sys_{enter,exit} handlers.

 # trace-cmd record -e raw_syscalls:* true && trace-cmd report

Fix this by ignoring out-of-NR_syscalls-bounds syscall numbers.

Commit cd0980fc8add "tracing: Check invalid syscall nr while tracing syscalls"
added the check for less than zero, but it should have also checked
for greater than NR_syscalls.
