@@ -250,6 +250,10 @@ You need very few things to get the syscalls tracing in an arch.
 - If the system call table on this arch is more complicated than a simple array
   of addresses of the system calls, implement an arch_syscall_addr to return
   the address of a given system call.
+- If the symbol names of the system calls do not match the function names on
+  this arch, define ARCH_HAS_SYSCALL_MATCH_SYM_NAME in asm/ftrace.h and
+  implement arch_syscall_match_sym_name with the appropriate logic to return
+  true if the function name corresponds with the symbol name.
 - Tag this arch as HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.
