perf tools: Generate mips syscalls_n64.c syscall table

Grab a copy of arch/mips/kernel/syscalls/syscall_n64.tbl and use it to
generate tools/perf/arch/mips/include/generated/asm/syscalls_n64.c file,
this is similar with commit 1b700c997500 ("perf tools: Build syscall
table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl")

perf trace: Use zalloc() to make sure all fields are zeroed in the syscalltbl constructor

In the past this wasn't needed as the libaudit based code would use just
one field, and the alternative constructor would fill in all the fields,
but now that even when using the libaudit based method we need the other
fields, switch to zalloc() to make sure the other fields are zeroed at
instantiation time.

# 30a910d7 18-Jul-2019 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf trace: Preallocate the syscall table

We'll continue reading its details from tracefs as we need it, but
preallocate the whole thing otherwise we may realloc and end up with
pointers to the previous buffer.

I.e. in an upcoming algorithm we'll look for syscalls that have function
signatures that are similar to a given syscall to see if we can reuse
its BPF augmenter, so we may be at syscall 42, having a 'struct syscall'
pointing to that slot in trace->syscalls.table[] and try to read the
slot for an yet unread syscall, which would realloc that table to read
the info for syscall 43, say, which would trigger a realoc of
trace->syscalls.table[], and then the pointer we had for syscall 42
would be pointing to the previous block of memory. b00m.

perf trace arm64: Use generated syscall table

This should speed up accessing new system calls introduced with the
kernel rather than waiting for libaudit updates to include them.

It also enables users to specify wildcards, for example, perf trace -e
'open*', just like was already possible on x86, s390, and powerpc, which
means arm64 can now pass the "Check open filename arg using perf trace +
vfs_getname" test.

perf syscalltbl: Support glob matching on syscall names

With two new methods, one to find the first match, returning its syscall
id and its index in whatever internal database it keeps the syscall
into, then one to find the next match, if any.

Implemented only on arches where we actually read the syscall table from
the kernel sources, i.e. x86-64 for now, all the others use the libaudit
method for which this returns -1, i.e. just stubs were added, with the
actual implementation using whatever libaudit functions for matching
that may be available.

perf tools: Build syscall table .c header from kernel's syscall_64.tbl

We used libaudit to map ids to syscall names and vice-versa, but that
imposes a delay in supporting new syscalls, having to wait for libaudit
to get those new syscalls on its tables.

To remove that delay, for x86_64 initially, grab a copy of
arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_64.tbl and use it to generate those
tables.

Syscalls currently not available in audit-libs:

# trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd
Error: Invalid syscall copy_file_range, membarrier, mlock2, pread64, pwrite64, timerfd_create, userfaultfd
Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*'
Hint: and: 'man syscalls'
#

# trace -e copy_file_range,membarrier,mlock2,pread64,pwrite64,timerfd_create,userfaultfd

# 5af56fab 04-Apr-2016 Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

perf tools: Allow generating per-arch syscall table arrays

Tools should use a mechanism similar to arch/x86/entry/syscalls/ to
generate a header file with the definitions for two variables:

static const char *syscalltbl_x86_64[] = {
[0] = "read",
[1] = "write",
<SNIP>
[324] = "membarrier",
[325] = "mlock2",
[326] = "copy_file_range",
};
static const int syscalltbl_x86_64_max_id = 326;

In a per arch file that should then be included in
tools/perf/util/syscalltbl.c.

First one will be for x86_64.

perf trace: Move syscall table id <-> name routines to separate class

We're using libaudit for doing name to id and id to syscall name
translations, but that makes 'perf trace' to have to wait for newer
libaudit versions supporting recently added syscalls, such as
"userfaultfd" at the time of this changeset.

We have all the information right there, in the kernel sources, so move
this code to a separate place, wrapped behind functions that will
progressively use the kernel source files to extract the syscall table
for use in 'perf trace'.
