From c42de706dad3f39c1f65e473a1d165ea33f8b6e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Taeung Song Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 22:14:25 +0900 Subject: perf trace: Check and discard not only 'nr' but also '__syscall_nr' Format fields of a syscall have the first variable '__syscall_nr' or 'nr' that mean the syscall number. But it isn't relevant here so drop it. 'nr' among fields of syscall was renamed '__syscall_nr'. So add exception handling to drop '__syscall_nr' and modify the comment for this excpetion handling.
