[PATCH 01/44] perf trace: Add 'string' event alias to select syscalls with string args

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Will be used in conjunction with the change to augmented_raw_syscalls.c
in the next cset that adds all syscalls with a first or second arg
string.

With just what we have in the syscall tracepoints we get:

  # perf trace -e string ls > /dev/null
         ? (         ): ls/22382  ... [continued]: execve())                                           = 0
     0.043 ( 0.004 ms): ls/22382 access(filename: 0x51ad420, mode: R)                                  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
     0.051 ( 0.004 ms): ls/22382 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x51aa8b3, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC)          = 3
     0.071 ( 0.004 ms): ls/22382 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x51b4d00, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC)          = 3
     0.138 ( 0.009 ms): ls/22382 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x51684d0, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC)          = 3

     0.670 ( 0.011 ms): ls/22382 statfs(pathname: 0x515c783, buf: 0x7fff54d75b70)                      = 0
     0.683 ( 0.005 ms): ls/22382 statfs(pathname: 0x515c783, buf: 0x7fff54d75a60)                      = 0
     0.725 ( 0.004 ms): ls/22382 access(filename: 0x515c7ab)                                           = 0

  #

If we put the vfs_getname probe point in place:

  # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:73 pathname=result->name:string'
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_getname    (on getname_flags:73 with pathname=result->name:string)
    probe:vfs_getname_1  (on getname_flags:73 with pathname=result->name:string)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_getname_1 -aR sleep 1

  # perf trace -e string ls > /dev/null
         ? (         ): ls/22440  ... [continued]: execve())                                           = 0
