[PATCH/RFC v1 0/2] [GSoC] Stop condition based on number of syscalls

[Sahil Siddiq]

Hi,

This patch adds the option to detach strace after capturing a specified
number of syscalls.

I went through the relevant parts of the codebase while working on this
patch and there are a few things that I am not clear on.

1. I have assumed that a syscall is considered to be traced only if
   "syscall_exiting_decode()" returns a non-zero value (does not "bail
   out"). I am not sure if that is correct.

2. I tried to understand the workings of the "trace_syscall()" function.
   When can there a situation where "syscall_entering_decode()" does
   not bail out, but "syscall_exiting_decode" bails out?
