Subject: perf trace: Print the name of a syscall when failing to read its info
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=814d7a4d2c33657489f7b45bc0b2dcaa0d88edc0;p=linux-beck.git

perf trace: Print the name of a syscall when failing to read its info

When failing to read the tracepoint event format, like currently with
sys_execve, that is not defined via SYSCALL_DEFINE macros and thus
doesn't have an entry in:

  $ ls -d /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_*exec*
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_kexec_load
  $
