[PATCH 1/2] trace: Warn the user when not available

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

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

When the audit-libs devel package is not found at build time we disable
the 'trace' command, as we are not able to map syscall numbers to
strings, but then the message the user is presented is cryptic:

  [root@zoo linux]# trace ls
  perf: 'ls' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.

Fix it by presenting a more helpful message:

  [root@zoo linux]# trace l
  trace command not available: missing audit-libs devel package at build time.
