In this message, it is suggested to make class of different type of system
calls and then user can specify which class to trace.

Last year I completed same microproject to trace statfs-like system calls
and different hierarchy of system calls were define using % and %% i.e. %
would define more specific system call and %% would define general group of
system call.

How should we approach for user-defined group of system call?

For microproject should I submit patch for tracing xattr system calls or I
should work on user-defined group of system call?
