Steven Rostedt 25bd47a592 tracing: Have persistent ring buffer print syscalls normally
The persistent ring buffer from a previous boot has to be careful printing
events as the print formats of random events can have pointers to strings
and such that are not available.

Ftrace static events (like the function tracer event) are stable and are
printed normally.

System call event formats are also stable. Allow them to be printed
normally as well:

Instead of:

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 reStructuredText 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.
