20 * The LTTng system call tracing facilities can't handle page faults at the
21 * moment. If a fault would occur while reading a syscall argument, the
22 * tracer will report an empty string (""). Since the proper execution of the
23 * tests which use this generator depends on some syscall string arguments being
24 * present, this util allows us to mitigate the page-fault risk.
26 * This isn't a proper fix; it is simply the best we can do for now.
27 * See bug #1261 for more context.
