2017-09-01perf syscalltbl: Support glob matching on syscall namesArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
With two new methods, one to find the first match, returning its syscall id and its index in whatever internal database it keeps the syscall into, then one to find the next match, if any. Implemented only on arches where we actually read the syscall table from the kernel sources, i.e. x86-64 for now, all the others use the libaudit method for which this returns -1, i.e. just stubs were added, with the actual implementation using whatever libaudit functions for matching that may be available.

2016-04-08perf tools: Allow generating per-arch syscall table arraysArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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 Melo
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'.
