  "tracing: A few small fixes to synthetic events

   Masami found some issues with the creation of synthetic events.  The
   first two patches fix handling of unsigned type, and handling of a
   space before an ending semi-colon.

   The third patch adds a selftest to test the processing of synthetic
   events."
