perf trace beauty kcmp: Beautify arguments
For some unknown reason there is no entry in tracefs's syscalls for
kcmp, i.e. no tracefs/events/syscalls/sys_{enter,exit}_kcmp, so we need
to provide a data dictionary for the fields.
To beautify the 'type' argument we automatically generate a strarray
from tools/include/uapi/kcmp.h, the idx1 and idx2 args, nowadays used
only if type == KCMP_FILE, are masked for all the other types and a
lookup is made for the thread and fd to show the path, if possible,
getting it from the probe:vfs_getname if in place or from procfs, races
allowing.
A system wide strace like tracing session, with callchains shows just
one user so far in this fedora 25 machine:
# perf trace --max-stack 5 -e kcmp

The backtraces seem to agree this is really kcmp(), but this system
doesn't have the sys_kcmp(), bummer:
# uname -a
Linux jouet 4.14.0-rc3+ #1 SMP Fri Oct 13 12:21:12 -03 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# grep kcmp /proc/kallsyms
ffffffffb60b8890 W sys_kcmp
$ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE ../build/v4.14.0-rc3+/.config
# CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is not set
$
So systemd uses it, good fedora kernel config has it:
$ grep CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE /boot/config-4.13.4-200.fc26.x86_64
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y
