# TI's original version of the pf_TaskEntry() function in the guts of GPF
# does this number once all GPF tasks have entered their main loop:
#
#    TraceMask[0] = 0;
#
# The effect of this line is that "system" trace output gets disabled;
# in particular, "system primitive" requests like querying for existing
# TRACECLASS of various entities or for the GPF version elicit no response
# whatsoever until one sends a TRACECLASS setting sysprim which restores
# the TC_SYSTEM bit in TraceMask[0].
#
# In FreeCalypso we consider this clearing of TraceMask[0] to be either
# a bug or a misfeature, and we would like to change it.  In the case of
# the GPF code in question, we do have a copy of frame.c source (the module
# where the offending pf_TaskEntry() function is implemented) which we believe
# is the same code as what's in the TCS211 version of GPF, but TCS211 is not
# set up to recompile any part of GPF from source, and there are other modules
# in the same frame_na7_db_ir.lib for which we don't have the original source
# (os_*), hence it is easier to do a binary lib patch.
#
# The present patch is a binary form of:
#
# -TraceMask[0] = 0;
# +TraceMask[0] = TC_SYSTEM;
