Nothng that i know of. Looks like u didn't get my drift. Currently, all the 
logging tools that i know of - SNARE, syscalltrack -  support logging of 
specific syscalls - read,write,exec etc.  What they do is a kernel module 
that presumably "hijacks" the call and logs it. It then passes it on to the 
real syscall implementation.  My point is to log all syscalls irrespective of 
what they are.....One place i'm looking at is the entry.S, i'm looking at the 
wrong place there, and i don't know which is the right place.
