The 'perf trace' tool is suppressing args set to zero, with the
exception of string tables (strarrays), which are kinda like enums, i.e.
we have maps to go from numbers to strings.
But the 'cmd' fcntl arg requires more specialized treatment, as its
value will regulate if the next fcntl syscall arg, 'arg', should be
ignored (not used) and also how to format the syscall return (fd, file
flags, etc), so add a 'show_zero" bool to struct syscall_arg_fmt, to
regulate this more explicitely.
Will be used in a following patch with fcntl, here is just the
mechanism.

Instead of having syscall_fmt.{arg_scnprintf,arg_parm}, introduce
struct syscall_arg_fmt and have these two, paving the way for more
state to change the formatting algorithms.
For instance, in the 'fcntl' 'cmd' case it is better not to suppress
it when being zero, showing instead its name "DUPFD".
We had that in an ad-hoc way just for strarrays, but with more involved
cases like fcntl, that can't be done with just a strarray, we'll need
a ".show_zero" arg in the 'cmd' syscall_arg_fmt.

We create many test events before the real ones just to test specific
features. But there's no way for attr tests to separate those test
events from those it needs to check.
Adding 'ready' call from the events open interface to trigger/start
events collection for attr test.

It can return NULL, in which case we should bail out and remove the
directory created with mkdtemp(), which is stored in the "__tempdir"
variable, not in "tempdir".

When the user doesn't specify an event with -e/--event, 'perf record'
will use as a default the "cycles" event with the highest level of
precision in perf_event_attr.precise_ip, but --no-samples, if present,
is incompatible with precise_ip != 0, so use the newly introduced
__perf_event__add_default(precise = false) to fix that:
Before:
# perf record -n usleep 1
Please consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cycles:ppp).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.

After:

If a stripped binary is placed in the cache, the user is in a situation
where there's a cached elf file present, but it doesn't have any symtab
to use for name resolution. Grab the debuginfo for binaries that don't
end in .ko. This yields a better chance of resolving symbols from older
traces.

Teach buildid-cache how to add, remove, and update binary objects from
other mount namespaces. Allow probe events tracing binaries in
different namespaces to add their objects to the probe and build-id
caches too. As a handy side effect, this also lets us access SDT probes
in binaries from alternate mount namespaces.

If a process is in a mountns and has symbols in /tmp/perf-<pid>.map,
look first in the namespace using the tgid for the pidns that the
process might be in. If the map isn't found there, try looking in the
mountns where perf is running, and use the tgid that's appropriate for
perf's pid namespace. If all else fails, use the original pid.
This allows us to locate a symbol map file in the mount namespace, if it
was generated there. However, we also try the tool's /tmp in case it's
there instead.

In older distros we were not including our copies of unistd_{32,64}.h,
as we were relying on the system's asm/unistd.h, and a log time ago
the files to be included were asm-{x86_64,i386}/unistd.h.
Fix it by also carrying a copy of asm/unistd.h, that will be the same
as in modern distros and will allow us to provide missing __NR_setns,
for instance, in older distros.

Now that the beautifiers are being split into multiple source and object
files, we will need more of them exported, do it for the 'pid' one, will
be used to augment the return of some syscalls that may return a 'pid',
such as fcntl(fd, F_GETOWN).
Will also be used for fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, pid).

We may want to use this in other contexts, like when formatting the
return of fcntl(fd, F_GETFL).
Make it have the following signature, so that we can set the formatter
for the return argument while processing the arguments of a syscall, as
fcntl, for instance, may return fds, flags, etc, so need different
return value formatters:
size_t formatter(unsigned long value, char *bf, size_t size);
This gets so detached from 'perf trace' internals that we may well get
all these and move to a tools/lib/syscall_beauty/ library at some point
and use it in other tools/ living utilities.
