Will be used in conjunction with the change to augmented_raw_syscalls.c
in the next cset that adds all syscalls with a first or second arg
string.
With just what we have in the syscall tracepoints we get:
# perf trace -e string ls > /dev/null

#
If we put the vfs_getname probe point in place:
# perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:73 pathname=result->name:string'
Added new events:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:73 with pathname=result->name:string)
probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:73 with pathname=result->name:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname_1 -aR sleep 1
# perf trace -e string ls > /dev/null

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
