Almost there, next step is to copy more than one filename payload.

Probably to read syscall arg structs, etc we'll need just a variation of
this that will decide what to use, if probe_read_str() or plain
probe_read for structs, i.e. fixed size.

So that we can use it for multiple args, baby steps not to step into the
verifier toes.

In the process make sure we handle -EFAULT from bpf_prog_read_str(), as
this really is needed now that we'll handle more than one augmented
argument, i.e. if there is failure, then we have the argument that fails
have:

  (size = 0, err = -EFAULT, value = [] )

followed by the next, lets say that worked for a second pathname:

  (size = 4, err = 0, value = "/tmp" )

So we can skip the first while telling the user about the problem and
then process the second.

<title>perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Tell which args are filenames and how many bytes to copy</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4cae8675ea798b141ccdeea0a5b3f46a1e4605eb</id>

Since we know what args are strings from reading the syscall
descriptions in tracefs and also already mark such args to be beautified
using the syscall_arg__scnprintf_filename() helper, all we need is to
fill in this info in the 'syscalls' BPF map we were using to state which
syscalls the user is interested in, i.e. the syscall filter.

Right now just set that with PATH_MAX and unroll the syscall arg in the
BPF program, as the verifier isn't liking something clang generates when
unrolling the loop.

This also makes the augmented_raw_syscalls.c program support all arches,
since we removed that set of defines with the hard coded syscall
numbers, all should be automatically set for all arches, with the
syscall id mapping done correcly.

Doing baby steps here, i.e. just the first string arg for a syscall is
printed, syscalls with more than one, say, the various rename* syscalls,
need further work, but lets get first something that the BPF verifier
accepts before increasing the complexity

To test it, something like:

 # perf trace -e string -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c

With:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
	dump-obj = true
	clang-opt = -g
  [trace]
	#add_events = /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
	show_zeros = yes
	show_duration = no
	no_inherit = yes
	show_timestamp = no
	show_arg_names = no
	args_alignment = 40
	show_prefix = yes
  #

That commented add_events line is needed for developing this
augmented_raw_syscalls.c BPF program, as if we add it via the
'add_events' mechanism so as to shorten the 'perf trace' command lines,
then we end up not setting up the -v option which precludes us having
access to the bpf verifier log :-\

Use existing beautifiers for the first 2 args (dfd, path) and wire up
the recently introduced fspick flags table generator.

Now it should be possible to just use:

   perf trace -e fspick

As root and see all move_mount syscalls with its args beautified, either
using the vfs_getname perf probe method or using the
augmented_raw_syscalls.c eBPF helper to get the pathnames, the other
args should work in all cases, i.e. all that is needed can be obtained
directly from the raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracepoint args.

Use existing beautifiers for the first 4 args (to/from fds, pathnames)
and wire up the recently introduced move_mount flags table generator.

Now it should be possible to just use:

      perf trace -e move_mount

As root and see all move_mount syscalls with its args beautified, except
for the filenames, that need work in the augmented_raw_syscalls.c eBPF
helper to pass more than one, see comment in the
augmented_raw_syscalls.c source code, the other args should work in all
cases, i.e. all that is needed can be obtained directly from the
raw_syscalls:sys_enter tracepoint args.

Running without the strace "skin" (.perfconfig setting output formatting
switches to look like strace output + BPF to collect strings, as we
still need to support collecting multiple string args for the same
syscall, like with move_mount):

  # cat sys_move_mount.c
  #define _GNU_SOURCE         /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
  #include &lt;unistd.h&gt;
  #include &lt;sys/syscall.h&gt;   /* For SYS_xxx definitions */

  #define MOVE_MOUNT_F_AUTOMOUNTS		0x00000002 /* Follow automounts on from path */
  #define MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH		0x00000004 /* Empty from path permitted */
  #define MOVE_MOUNT_T_SYMLINKS		0x00000010 /* Follow symlinks on to path */

  }

  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
  	  int flags = 0, from_fd = 0, to_fd = 100;

  	  sys_move_mount(from_fd++, "/foo", to_fd++, "bar", flags);

<title>perf augmented_raw_syscalls: Use a PERCPU_ARRAY map to copy more string bytes</title>

The previous method, copying to the BPF stack limited us in how many
bytes we could copy from strings, use a PERCPU_ARRAY map like devised by
the sysdig guys[1] to copy more bytes:

Before:

  # trace --no-inherit -e openat touch `python -c "print "$s" 'a' * 2000"`
  touch: cannot touch 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa': File name too long
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/lib64/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK|O_WRONLY, S_IRUGO|S_IWUGO) = -1 ENAMETOOLONG (File name too long)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/en_US.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/en_US.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/coreutils.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
  &lt;SNIP some openat calls&gt;
  #

After:

  [root@quaco acme]# trace --no-inherit -e openat touch `python -c "print "$s" 'a' * 2000"`
  &lt;STRIP what is the same as in the 'before' part&gt;
  openat(AT_FDCWD, "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOC) = -1 ENAMETOOLONG (File name too long)
  &lt;STRIP what is the same as in the 'before' part&gt;

If we leave something like 'perf trace -e string' to trace all syscalls
with a string, and then do some 'perf top', to get some annotation for
the augmented_raw_syscalls.o BPF program we get:

       │     → callq  *ffffffffc45576d1                                                                                                          ▒
       │                augmented_args-&gt;filename.size = probe_read_str(&amp;augmented_args-&gt;filename.value,                                          ▒
  0.05 │       mov    %eax,0x40(%r13)

Looking with pahole, expanding types, asking for hex offsets and sizes,
and use of BTF type information to see what is at that 0x40 offset from
%r13:

  # pahole -F btf -C augmented_args_filename --expand_types --hex /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o
  struct augmented_args_filename {
	struct syscall_enter_args {
		long long unsigned int common_tp_fields;                                 /*     0   0x8 */
		long int           syscall_nr;                                           /*   0x8   0x8 */
		long unsigned int  args[6];                                              /*  0x10  0x30 */
	} args; /*     0  0x40 */
	/* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
	struct augmented_filename {
		unsigned int       size;                                                 /*  0x40   0x4 */
		int                reserved;                                             /*  0x44   0x4 */
		char               value[4096];                                          /*  0x48 0x1000 */
	} filename; /*  0x40 0x1008 */

	/* size: 4168, cachelines: 66, members: 2 */
	/* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
  };
  #

Then looking if PATH_MAX leaves some signature in the tests:

       │                if (augmented_args-&gt;filename.size &lt; sizeof(augmented_args-&gt;filename.value)) {                                            ▒
       │       cmp    $0xfff,%rdi

0xfff == 4095
sizeof(augmented_args-&gt;filename.value) == PATH_MAX == 4096

Gets the augmented_raw_syscalls a bit more useful as-is, add a comment
stating that the intent is to have all this in a map populated by
userspace via the 'syscalls' BPF map, that right now has only a flag
stating if the syscall is filtered or not.

With it:

  # grep -B1 augmented_raw ~/.perfconfig

To make the code more compact, end result is the same:

  # perf trace -e /home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_syscalls.c sleep 1
     0.000 ( 0.008 ms): sleep/9663 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/etc/ld.so.cache", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3
     0.022 ( 0.005 ms): sleep/9663 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/lib64/libc.so.6", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3
     0.226 ( 0.006 ms): sleep/9663 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3
