perf trace beautify ioctl: Beautify perf ioctl's 'cmd' arg (2017-08-01 13:33:50 -0300)

----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements:

User visible:

- Beautifiers for the 'cmd' arg of several ioctl types, including:
sound, DRM, KVM, vhost virtio and perf_events.

This was done by using scripts that extract the information from
the UAPI headers, generating string tables that are then used in
the 'perf trace' syscall argument ioctl beautifier.

More work needed to further use it, for instance, to use the
_IOC_DIR value where it is used sanely to suppress the third
argument, to set formatters for non-pointer values and ultimately
for using eBPF + pahole-like code to collect + beautify structs in
the third arg.

Using the current scheme of having tools/ copies of kernel headers
we'll make sure tooling stays working when changes are made to the
kernel ABI headers and will be notified when they get changed,
reducing the time for 'perf trace' to support new ABIs and allowing
the tools/perf/ codebase to have the definitions it needs to
build in dozens of distros/versions, as routinely tested using
containers for, at this time, 47 environments. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

Infrastructure

- Clarify header version warning message (Ingo Molnar)

Test results:

The first ones are container (docker) based builds of tools/perf with and
without libelf support, objtool where it is supported and samples/bpf/, ditto.
Where clang is available, it is also used to build perf with/without libelf.

Several are cross builds, the ones with -x-ARCH, and the android one, and those
may not have all the features built, due to lack of multi-arch devel packages,
available and being used so far on just a few, like
debian:experimental-x-{arm64,mipsel}.

The 'perf test' one will perform a variety of tests exercising
tools/perf/util/, tools/lib/{bpf,traceevent,etc}, as well as run perf commands
with a variety of command line event specifications to then intercept the
sys_perf_event syscall to check that the perf_event_attr fields are set up as
expected, among a variety of other unit tests.

Additionally, a new set of tests, script based, runs the tools in a live system,
setting probes in place that then gets used by 'perf trace', with its output
compared against expected results.

Then there is the 'make -C tools/perf build-test' ones, that build tools/perf/
with a variety of feature sets, exercising the build with an incomplete set of
features as well as with a complete one. It is planned to have it run on each
of the containers mentioned above, using some container orchestration
infrastructure. Get in contact if interested in helping having this in place.
