Steven Rostedt 64b627c8da tracing: Add parsing of flags to the sys_enter_openat trace event
Add some logic to give the openat system call trace event a bit more human
readable information:

   syscalls:sys_enter_openat: dfd: 0xffffff9c, filename: 0x7f0053dc121c "/etc/ld.so.cache", flags: O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC, mode: 0000

The above is output from "perf script" and now shows the flags used by the
openat system call.

Since the output from tracing is in the kernel, it can also remove the
mode field when not used (when flags does not contain O_CREATE|O_TMPFILE)

   touch-1185    [002] ...1.  1291.690154: sys_openat(dfd: 4294967196, filename: 139785545139344 "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", flags: O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC)
   touch-1185    [002] ...1.  1291.690504: sys_openat(dfd: 18446744073709551516, filename: 140733603151330 "/tmp/x", flags: O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, mode: 0666)

As system calls have a fixed ABI, their trace events can be extended. This
currently only updates the openat system call, but others may be extended
in the future.

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.
