perf trace: Support 'strace' syscall event groups
I.e.:
$ cat ~/share/perf-core/strace/groups/file
access
chmod
creat
execve
faccessat
getcwd
lstat
mkdir
open
openat
quotactl
readlink
rename
rmdir
stat
statfs
symlink
unlink
$
Then, on a quiet desktop, try running this and then moving your mouse to
see the deluge of mouse related activity:
# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=filename:string'
Added new event:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=filename:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
#
# trace --ev probe:vfs_getname --filter-pids 2232 -e file

0.253 (0.041 ms): mousetweaks/2235 ... [continued]: open()) = 14
0.459 (0.008 ms): mousetweaks/2235 open(filename: 0x14e3910, mode: 438 ) ...
0.459 ( ): probe:vfs_getname:(ffffffff812230bc) pathname="/home/acme/.icons/Adwaita/cursors/left_side")
0.468 (0.017 ms): mousetweaks/2235 ... [continued]: open()) = -1 ENOENT No such file or directory
Need to combine that raw_syscalls:sys_enter(open) + probe:vfs_getname +
raw_syscalls:sys_exit(open) sequence...
Now, if you're bored, please write some more syscall groups, like the ones
in 'strace' and send it our way :-)
