Hassan Naveed 0e24220821 tracing: Use xarray for syscall trace events
Currently, a lot of memory is wasted for architectures like MIPS when
init_ftrace_syscalls() allocates the array for syscalls using kcalloc.
This is because syscalls numbers start from 4000, 5000 or 6000 and
array elements up to that point are unused.
Fix this by using a data structure more suited to storing sparsely
populated arrays. The XARRAY data structure, implemented using radix
trees, is much more memory efficient for storing the syscalls in
question.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
