If --force-btf is enabled, prefer btf_dump general pretty printer to
perf trace's customized pretty printers.
Mostly for debug purposes.
Committer testing:
diff before/after shows we need several improvements to be able to
compare the changes, first we need to cut off/disable mutable data such
as pids and timestamps, then what is left are the buffer addresses
passed from userspace, returned from kernel space, maybe we can ask
'perf trace' to go on making those reproducible.
That would entail a Pointer Address Translation (PAT) like for
networking, that would, for simple, reproducible if not for these
details, workloads, that we would then use in our regression tests.
Enough digression, this is one such diff:

The problem more close to our hands is to make the libbpf BTF pretty
printer to have a mode that closely resembles what we're trying to
resemble: strace output.
Being able to run something with 'perf trace' and with 'strace' and get
the exact same output should be of interest of anybody wanting to have
strace and 'perf trace' regression tested against each other.
That last part is 'perf trace' shot at being something so useful as
strace... ;-)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
