Initially should look loosely like the venerable 'strace' tool, but
using the infrastructure in the perf tools to allow tracing extra
targets:

  [acme@sandy linux]$ perf trace --hell
  Error: unknown option `hell'

   usage: perf trace <PID>

      -p, --pid <pid>       trace events on existing process id
          --tid <tid>       trace events on existing thread id
          --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
          --cpu <cpu>       list of cpus to monitor
          --no-inherit      child tasks do not inherit counters
          --mmap-pages <n>  number of mmap data pages
          --uid <user>      user to profile

  [acme@sandy linux]$

Those should have the same semantics as when using with 'perf record'.

It gets stuck sometimes, but hey, it works sometimes too!

In time it should support perf.data based workloads, i.e. it should have
a:
	-o filename

Command line option that will produce a perf.data file that can then be
used with 'perf trace' or any of the other perf tools (script, report,
etc).

It will also eventually have the set of functionalities described in the
previous 'trace' prototype by Thomas Gleixner:

   "Announcing a new utility: 'trace'"
   http://lwn.net/Articles/415728/

Also planned is to have some of the features suggested in the comments
of that LWN article.

We'll need the set_filter method name to actually apply a filter to all

It will set up a syscall open tracepoint event, generate an open with
invalid flags, then check those flags were the ones reported in the
tracepoint fired.

For the filename we need vfs:getname, but that will go thru some more
iterations as the vfs getname codebase is going thru changes lately.

When that is in I'll just check that the perf_evsel__newtp constructor
is not bailing out and then add it to the evlist, catch the event and
check the filename against the one used in the 'open' call used to
trigger the event.

We were relying on the info in pevent, but since we have it in
perf_evsel, set up by the perf_session routine if read from a perf.data
file or by whoever creates the evsels, use it.

New 'perf test' entries will use it to parse locally generated events,
in a non perf.data centered workflow.

As well as use byteswap.h to get per arch optimized swap routines, like
other parts of perf (header, perf_evsel__parse_sample, symbol, etc)
already do.

This patch splits trace event initialization in two stages:
 * ftrace enable
 * sysfs event entry creation

This allows to capture trace events from an earlier point
by using 'trace_event' kernel parameter and is important
to trace boot-up allocations.

Note that, in order to enable events at core_initcall,
it's necessary to move init_ftrace_syscalls() from
core_initcall to early_initcall.

In our application, we have trace markers spread through user-space.
We have markers in GL, X, etc. These are super handy for Chrome's
about:tracing feature (Chrome + system + kernel trace view), but
can be very distracting when you're trying to debug a kernel issue.

I normally, use "grep -v tracing_mark_write" but it would be nice
if I could just temporarily disable markers all together.

The existing constructor receives a perf_event_attr filled with the
event type and the config.

To reduce the boilerplate for tracepoints, provide a new constructor,
perf_evsel__newtp() that receives the tracepoint name and will open
the debugfs file, call into libtraceevent new pevent_parse_format file
to fill its ->tp_format member, so that users can then just call
perf_evsel__field() to access its fields.

The pevent_parse_event() routine will parse a events/sys/tp/format file
and add an event_format instance to the pevent struct.

This patch introduces a pevent_parse_format() routine with just the bits
needed to parse the event/sys/tp/format file and just return the
event_format instance, useful for when all we want is to parse the
format file, without requiring the pevent struct.

Cleaned event-parse.c this time, just propagate the errors and in handle
them the call sites.

Instead of dying, just use do_warning and let the goto that is there to
take place.

With recent binutils I get:

That happens because bfd.h now contains:
