Howard Chu 45a0c928e7 perf trace: BTF-based enum pretty printing for syscall args
In this patch, BTF is used to turn enum value to the corresponding
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 decide to run `perf trace`
without any arguments, the behaviour is to trace `landlock_add_rule`,
so vmlinux btf will be loaded by default.

The laziest behaviour is to load vmlinux btf when a
`landlock_add_rule` syscall hits. But I think you could lose some
samples when loading vmlinux btf at run time, for it can delay the
handling of other samples. I might need your precious opinions on
this...

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)
```

Committer notes:

Made it build with NO_LIBBPF=1, simplified btf_enum_fprintf(), see [1]
for the discussion.

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.
