2016-04-08perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tblArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+6
We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit to get those new syscalls on its tables. To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those tables. Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs: # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd Error: Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*' Hint: and: 'man syscalls' # With this patch: # trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd 8505.733 ( 0.010 ms): gnome-shell/2519 timerfd_create(flags: 524288) = 36 8506.688 ( 0.005 ms): gnome-shell/2519 timerfd_create(flags: 524288) = 40 30023.097 ( 0.025 ms): qemu-system-x8/24629 pwrite64(fd: 18, buf: 0x7f63ae382000, count: 4096, pos: 529592320) = 4096 31268.712 ( 0.028 ms): qemu-system-x8/24629 pwrite64(fd: 18, buf: 0x7f63afd8b000, count: 4096, pos: 2314133504) = 4096 31268.854 ( 0.016 ms): qemu-system-x8/24629 pwrite64(fd: 18, buf: 0x7f63afda2000, count: 4096, pos: 2314137600) = 4096 Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-51xfjbxevdsucmnbc4ka5r88@git.kernel.org [ Added make dep for 'prepare' in 'LIBPERF_IN', fix by Wang Nan to fix parallell build ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2016-04-08perf tools: Allow generating per-arch syscall table arraysArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-2/+87
Tools should use a mechanism similar to arch/x86/entry/syscalls/ to generate a header file with the definitions for two variables: static const char *syscalltbl_x86_64[] = { [0] = "read", [1] = "write", <SNIP> [324] = "membarrier", [325] = "mlock2", [326] = "copy_file_range", }; static const int syscalltbl_x86_64_max_id = 326; In a per arch file that should then be included in tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c. First one will be for x86_64.

2016-04-08perf trace: Move syscall table id <-> name routines to separate classArnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-0/+43
We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as "userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset. We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table for use in 'perf trace'.
