perf trace: Consider syscall aliases too
When trying to trace the 'umount' syscall on x86_64 I noticed that it was failing: # trace -e umount umount /mnt event syntax error: 'umount' \___ parser error Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>] or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events # This is because in the x86-64 we have it just as 'umount2': $ grep umount arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl 166 common umount2 __x64_sys_umount $ So if the syscall name fails, try fallbacking to looking at the aliases we have in the syscall_fmts table to then re-lookup, now: # trace -e umount umount -f /mnt umount: /mnt: not mounted. 1.759 ( 0.004 ms): umount/18365 umount2(name: 0x55fbfcbc4480, flags: 1) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument # Time to beautify the flags arg :-) Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Benjamin Peterson <benjamin@python.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ukweodgzbmjd25lfkgryeft1@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
