tools lib traceevent: Remove libtraceevent

2022-12-14T14:16:12+00:00

libtraceevent is now out-of-date and it is better to depend on the
system version. Remove this code that is no longer depended upon by
any builds.

Committer notes:

Removed the removed tools/lib/traceevent/ from tools/perf/MANIFEST, so
that 'make perf-tar-src-pkg' works.

libtraceevent: Man pages fix, changes in event printing APIs

2019-09-25T12:51:43+00:00

APIs for printing various trace event information were redesigned to be
more simple. However, the main libtraceevent man page was not updated
with those changes. The documentation is updated to describe the new
event print API.

libtraceevent: Man pages fix, rename tep_ref_get() to tep_get_ref()

2019-09-25T12:51:43+00:00

The tep_ref_get() was renamed to tep_get_ref(), to be more consistent
with the other tep_ref_* APIs. However, in the man pages the API is
still with the old name. The documentation is fixed to reflect the
actual name of the API.
