perf trace augmented_syscalls: Do not show syscalls when none was asked for
When not using augmented syscalls, i.e. not passing thru the command line a eBPF source or object file event that provides the __augmented_syscalls__ BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERF_EVENT_ARRAY, etc, as with: perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c or passing that augmented eBPF source/object via the trace.add_events in .perfconfig file, we were assuming that syscalls were asked for, differing from when not using augmented syscalls at all. This is confusing when using .perfconfig to hide the fact we're using the augmenter, i.e. using: # perf trace -e sched:* sleep 1 Will show both the scheduler tracepoints and the syscalls, where what we want is to show just the scheduler tracepoints. To see the scheduler tracepoints and some specific syscall strace-like formatting, one has to use: # perf trace -e sched:*,nanosleep sleep 1 Or, if wanting all the syscalls: # perf trace -e sched:* --syscalls sleep 1 This way 'perf trace' can be used to trace just a set of tracepoints while allowing for mixing with strace-like when desired, by simply adding to the mix the name of the syscalls to show in addition to the tracepoints. Fix it so that the behaviour using the eBPF based syscall augmenter is the same as when not using one. Testing: Before this patch, with this ~/.perfconfig: # egrep -B1 ^[[:space:]]+add_events ~/.perfconfig [trace] add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o # That points to this pre-compiled eBPF syscall augmenter: # file /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, eBPF, version 1 (SYSV), with debug_info, not stripped And when asking for _only_ sched:sched_switch and sched:sched_wakeup we were unconditionally getting all the syscalls formatted strace-like: # perf trace -e sched:*switch,sched:*wakeup sleep 1 |& tail 0.633 fstat(3, 0x7fe11d030ac0) = 0 0.635 mmap(NULL, 217750512, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0x7fe10fec5000 0.643 close(3) = 0 0.668 nanosleep(0x7fff649a3a90, NULL) ... 0.672 sched:sched_switch:prev_comm=sleep prev_pid=4417 prev_prio=120 prev_state=S ==> next_comm=swapper/6 next_pid=0 next_prio=120 1000.822 sched:sched_wakeup:comm=sleep pid=4417 prio=120 target_cpu=006 0.668 ...
