Subject: ARM: 8632/1: ftrace: fix syscall name matching

From: Rabin Vincent <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 270c8cf1cacc69cb8d99dea812f06067a45e4609 ]

ARM has a few system calls (most notably mmap) for which the names of the functions which are referenced in the syscall table do not match the names of the syscall tracepoints. As a consequence of this, these tracepoints are not made available. Implement arch_syscall_match_sym_name to fix this and allow tracing even these system calls.
