Reuse 'mprotect' beautifiers for 'pkey_mprotect'.

System wide tracing pkey_alloc, pkey_free and pkey_mprotect calls, with
backtraces:

  # perf trace -e pkey_alloc,pkey_mprotect,pkey_free --max-stack=5
     0.000 ( 0.011 ms): pkey/7818 pkey_alloc(init_val: DISABLE_ACCESS|DISABLE_WRITE) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
                                       syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                       pkey_alloc (/home/acme/c/pkey)
     0.022 ( 0.003 ms): pkey/7818 pkey_mprotect(start: 0x7f28c3890000, len: 4096, prot: READ|WRITE, pkey: -1) = 0
                                       syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                       pkey_mprotect (/home/acme/c/pkey)
     0.030 ( 0.002 ms): pkey/7818 pkey_free(pkey: -1                               ) = -1 EINVAL Invalid argument
                                       syscall (/usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
                                       pkey_free (/home/acme/c/pkey)

The tools/include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h file is used to find
the access rights defines for the pkey_alloc syscall second argument.

Since we have the detector of changes for the tools/include header files
versus its kernel origin (include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h), we'll
get whatever new flag appears for that argument automatically.

This method should be used in other cases where it is easy to generate
those flags tables because the header has properly namespaced defines
like PKEY_DISABLE_ACCESS and PKEY_DISABLE_WRITE.

<title>perf tools: Fix static build with newer toolchains</title>

<content type='text'>
We can't pass --dynamic-list list into static build anymore, because
compilers starts to scream about that. Fedora 26 started to fail build
with following error:

  $ make LDFLAGS=-static
  ...
  /usr/bin/ld: dynamic STT_GNU_IFUNC symbol `strcmp' with pointer equality in `/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/7/../../../../lib64/libc.a(strcmp.o
+)' can not be used when making an executable; recompile with -fPIE and relink with -pie

There's no sense for --dynamic-list in static build, because there's no
.dynsym table in static binary. Consequently the traceevent plugins have
never worked with static build, but it was quietly passed by.

To fix this in future I think we should add support to compile plugins
within the perf binary directly for static build.

<title>perf trace beautify ioctl: Beautify perf ioctl's 'cmd' arg</title>

<id>81e3d8b2af2e7417f1d5164aab5c1a75955e8a5d</id>
<content type='text'>
Also trying a new approach, using the copy of uapi/linux/perf_event.h we
auto generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd
beautifier.

This way either the perf developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g., looking at some of the perf ioctls issued by the 'perf test' test cases:

  # (perf trace -e perf_event_open,ioctl perf test)  2&gt;&amp;1 | egrep "(cmd: PERF_|perf_event_open)"

Also trying a new approach, using the copy of uapi/linux/perf_event.h we
auto generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd
beautifier.

This way either the perf developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g., looking at some of the perf ioctls issued by the 'perf test' test cases:

  # (perf trace -e perf_event_open,ioctl perf test)  2&gt;&amp;1 | egrep "(cmd: PERF_|perf_event_open)"

^C

 '-e ioctl' uses tracepoint filters, in time this will be replaces by
eBPF filters hooked at the syscall tracepoints and that "grep VHOST"
will also be done with eBPF, right at the kernel, to reduce overhead.

^C

 '-e ioctl' uses tracepoint filters, in time this will be replaces by
eBPF filters hooked at the syscall tracepoints and that "grep VHOST"
will also be done with eBPF, right at the kernel, to reduce overhead.

Also trying a new approach, using a copy of uapi/linux/kvm.h we auto
generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd beautifier.

This way either the KVM developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g., a tracing a process and its threads, but would work for system wide as
well, just drop that '-p 21238', to see ioctls for DRM, tty, sound, etc:

Since there are clashes in _IOC_NR() for some cases, notably ioctls with
PPC_ and ARM_ in its name and some that depend on some internal state to
be valid, but use the same number as others, those were removed in the
shell script that builds the table, tools/perf/trace/beauty/kvm_ioctl.sh.

Since so far we're supporting only x86 in the 'cmd' ioctl arg beautifier
in perf trace, we can leave fully supporting these ioctls for later.

There are some more to handle here, notably the one for /dev/vhost-net, will
come later.

Since there are clashes in _IOC_NR() for some cases, notably ioctls with
PPC_ and ARM_ in its name and some that depend on some internal state to
be valid, but use the same number as others, those were removed in the
shell script that builds the table, tools/perf/trace/beauty/kvm_ioctl.sh.

Since so far we're supporting only x86 in the 'cmd' ioctl arg beautifier
in perf trace, we can leave fully supporting these ioctls for later.

There are some more to handle here, notably the one for /dev/vhost-net, will
come later.

<title>perf trace beautify ioctl: Beautify sound ioctl's 'cmd' arg</title>

This time we try a new approach, using a copy of uapi/sound/asound.h we
auto generate the string tables, then include it in the ioctl cmd
beautifier.

This way either the sound developers will add the new commands to the
tools/ copy, like is happening with other areas of tools/include/ (bpf.h
comes to mind), or we'll be notified when building perf that our copy
drifted.

E.g.:

  # perf trace -p 22084 -e ioctl 2&gt;&amp;1 | head -5
     0.000 ( 0.068 ms): alsa-sink-ALC3/22084 ioctl(fd: 49&lt;/dev/snd/pcmC1D0p&gt;, cmd: SNDRV_PCM_HWSYNC, arg: 0x557f8d7fa0f0) = 0
     0.344 ( 0.041 ms): alsa-sink-ALC3/22084 ioctl(fd: 46&lt;/dev/snd/controlC1&gt;, cmd: SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_READ, arg: 0x7fe764018ee0) = 0
