Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 2b64b2ed27 perf trace: Add 'string' event alias to select syscalls with string args
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
         ? (         ): ls/22382  ... [continued]: execve())                                           = 0
     0.043 ( 0.004 ms): ls/22382 access(filename: 0x51ad420, mode: R)                                  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

  #

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
         ? (         ): ls/22440  ... [continued]: execve())                                           = 0

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.
