Loading
In this patch, BTF is used to turn enum value to the corresponding
name. There is only one system call that uses enum value as its
argument, that is `landlock_add_rule()`.
The vmlinux btf is loaded lazily, when user decided to trace the
`landlock_add_rule` syscall. But if one decide to run `perf trace`
without any arguments, the behaviour is to trace `landlock_add_rule`,
so vmlinux btf will be loaded by default.
The laziest behaviour is to load vmlinux btf when a
`landlock_add_rule` syscall hits. But I think you could lose some
samples when loading vmlinux btf at run time, for it can delay the
handling of other samples. I might need your precious opinions on
this...
before:
```
perf $ ./perf trace -e landlock_add_rule
0.000 ( 0.008 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: 2) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
0.010 ( 0.001 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: 1) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
```
after:
```
perf $ ./perf trace -e landlock_add_rule
0.000 ( 0.029 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_NET_PORT) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
0.036 ( 0.004 ms): ldlck-test/438194 landlock_add_rule(rule_type: LANDLOCK_RULE_PATH_BENEATH) = -1 EBADFD (File descriptor in bad state)
```
Committer notes:
Made it build with NO_LIBBPF=1, simplified btf_enum_fprintf(), see [1]
for the discussion.
