Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 1de3038d00 perf trace beauty kcmp: Beautify arguments
For some unknown reason there is no entry in tracefs's syscalls for
kcmp, i.e. no tracefs/events/syscalls/sys_{enter,exit}_kcmp, so we need
to provide a data dictionary for the fields.

To beautify the 'type' argument we automatically generate a strarray
from tools/include/uapi/kcmp.h, the idx1 and idx2 args, nowadays used
only if type == KCMP_FILE, are masked for all the other types and a
lookup is made for the thread and fd to show the path, if possible,
getting it from the probe:vfs_getname if in place or from procfs, races
allowing.

A system wide strace like tracing session, with callchains shows just
one user so far in this fedora 25 machine:

  # perf trace --max-stack 5 -e kcmp
  <SNIP>
  1502914.400 ( 0.001 ms): systemd/1 kcmp(pid1: 1 (systemd), pid2: 1 (systemd), type: FILE, idx1: 271<socket:[4723475]>, idx2: 25<socket:[4788686]>) = -1 ENOSYS Function not implemented
                                         syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                         same_fd (/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-233.so)
                                         service_add_fd_store (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
                                         service_notify_message.lto_priv.127 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
  1502914.407 ( 0.001 ms): systemd/1 kcmp(pid1: 1 (systemd), pid2: 1 (systemd), type: FILE, idx1: 270<socket:[4726396]>, idx2: 25<socket:[4788686]>) = -1 ENOSYS Function not implemented
                                         syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                         same_fd (/usr/lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-233.so)
                                         service_add_fd_store (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
                                         service_notify_message.lto_priv.127 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd)
  <SNIP>

The backtraces seem to agree this is really kcmp(), but this system
doesn't have the sys_kcmp(), bummer:

  # uname -a
  Linux jouet 4.14.0-rc3+ #1 SMP Fri Oct 13 12:21:12 -03 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  # grep kcmp /proc/kallsyms
  ffffffffb60b8890 W sys_kcmp
  $ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE ../build/v4.14.0-rc3+/.config
  # CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set
  $

So systemd uses it, good fedora kernel config has it:

  $ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE /boot/config-4.13.4-200.fc26.x86_64
  CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y
  [acme@jouet linux]$

/me goes to rebuild a kernel...

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
