perf tools: Update x86's syscall_64.tbl, adding pkey_(alloc,free,mprotect)

2016-10-28T13:29:44+00:00

Introduced in commit f9afc6197e9b ("x86: Wire up protection keys system
calls")

This will make 'perf trace' aware of them on x86_64.

perf tools: Sync copy of x86's syscall table

2016-10-24T14:07:30+00:00

To get up to the recent compat pread/pwrite changes, that albeit not
being used by 'perf trace' due to some raw_syscalls tracepoint
limitations, trigger this warning when building perf:

  Warning: x86_64's syscall_64.tbl differs from kernel

perf tools: Sync copy of syscall_64.tbl with the kernel

2016-07-04T23:29:40+00:00

Noticed by the build system, that emitted this warning:

  Warning: x86_64's syscall_64.tbl differs from kernel

This was due to the wiring up of the recently added preadv2 & pwritev2
syscalls to the compat code, which hadn't been done by the patch
introducing those syscalls: 4babf2c5efb7 ("x86: wire up preadv2 and
pwritev2").

The patch doing the compat wiring was:

  482dd2ef1244 ("x86/syscalls: Wire up compat readv2/writev2 syscalls")

This just silences the perf build warning, as compat syscalls still
can't be supported in 'perf trace´ due to limitations in the
raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit} tracepoints it relies on.

perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl

2016-04-08T12:58:14+00:00

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
