[PATCH 04/29] perf trace: Do not hardcode the size of the tracepoint common_ fields

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

We shouldn't hardcode the size of the tracepoint common_ fields, use the
offset of the 'id'/'__syscallnr' field in the sys_enter event instead.

This caused the augmented syscalls code to fail on a particular build of a
PREEMPT_RT_FULL kernel where these extra 'common_migrate_disable' and
'common_padding' fields were before the syscall id one:

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/format
name: sys_enter
ID: 22
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
field:unsigned short common_migrate_disable; offset:8; size:2; signed:0;
field:unsigned short common_padding; offset:10; size:2; signed:0;

field:long id; offset:16; size:8; signed:1;
field:unsigned long args[6]; offset:24; size:48; signed:0;

print fmt: "NR %ld (%lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx, %lx)", REC->id, REC->args[0], REC->args[1], REC->args[2], REC->args[3], REC->args[4], REC->args[5]
#

All those 'common_' prefixed fields are zeroed when they hit a BPF tracepoint
hook, we better just discard those, i.e. somehow pass an offset to the
BPF program from the start of the ctx and make adjustments in the 'perf trace'
handlers to adjust the offset of the syscall arg offsets obtained from tracefs.

Till then, fix it the quick way and add this to the augmented_raw_syscalls.c to
bet it to work in such kernels:

struct syscall_exit_args {

Just to check that this was the case. Fix it properly later, for now remove the
hardcoding of the offset in the 'perf trace' side and document the situation
with this patch.
