[PATCH v1 2/5] perf trace: Augment enum syscall arguments with BTF

From: Howard Chu
Date: Tue Jun 18 2024 - 11:26:44 EST


This is a feature implemented on the basis of the previous bug fix
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/d18a9606-ac9f-4ca7-afaf-fcf4c951cb90@xxxxxx/T/#t

In this patch, BTF is used to turn enum value to the corresponding
enum variable name. There is only one system call that uses enum value
as its argument, that is `landlock_add_rule()`.

The vmlinux btf is loaded lazily, when user decided to trace the
`landlock_add_rule` syscall. But if one decides to run `perf trace`
without any arguments, the behaviour is to trace `landlock_add_rule`,
so vmlinux btf will be loaded by default.

before:

```
perf $ ./perf trace -e landlock_add_rule
0.000 ( 0.008 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: 2) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
0.010 ( 0.001 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: 1) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
```

after:

```
perf $ ./perf trace -e landlock_add_rule
0.000 ( 0.029 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
0.036 ( 0.004 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
```
