That isn't pre-existing, that's proposed.

But face it, you can argue until you're blue in the face, but both tglx
and I will NAK any and all patches that extend perf/ftrace beyond the

so please drop this endeavor and let the security folks sort it on their
own and let's get back to doing useful work.
