    perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl · 1b700c99
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    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
